Prison or treatment? Gender, racial, and ethnic inequities in mental health care utilization and criminal justice history among incarcerated persons with borderline and antisocial personality disorder…
OBJECTIVE: Borderline and antisocial personality disorders are characterized by pervasive psychosocial impairment, disproportionate criminal justice involvement, and high mental health care utilization. Although some evidence suggests that systemic bias may contribute to demographic inequities in criminal justice and mental health care among persons experiencing these mental health conditions, no research to date has explicitly examined such diff…
Veteran suicide thoughts and attempts during the transition from military service to civilian life
A rapidly growing literature highlights a critical need for targeted suicide prevention and risk mitigation strategies for veterans navigating the military-to-civilian transition. Although various risk correlates of suicidal thoughts and behavior among transitioning veterans have been identified, how and why these correlates occur and interact to affect suicidality remains unclear. Guided by the 3 Step Theory of Suicide, 10 recently discharged Un…
The mediating role of social support in associations between childhood adversity, military sexual trauma, and homelessness in a nationally representative sample of US veterans
Among veterans, availability of social support and histories of military sexual trauma (MST) and/or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are particularly salient correlates of homelessness. Using path analyses, we investigated whether social support (i.e., interpersonal social support and community integration) would at least partially account for the relationships of MST and ACEs with any lifetime homelessness in a large, nationally representati…
Change is always hard”
Over the last decade, the term trauma-informed care has increased in popularity as human service organizations recognize the increasing need to serve individuals who have experienced trauma and adversity (Becker-Blease, 2017). One evidence-supported approach to trauma-informed organizational culture change is the Trauma Resilient Communities (TRC) Model. The current study focuses on the early experiences of leaders and followers within organizati…
Historical Trends in Veteran Community Substance Use Treatment
Background: Substance use is a significant health crisis for the Veteran population. Prior research has thoroughly examined Veteran substance use within Veterans Health Administration (VHA) settings. However, such data tends to be outdated, and there is minimal research on substance use services delivered outside of VHA systems. This study examines historical patterns of Veteran substance use using a large sample of community-based substance-use …
Mental Health of Incarcerated Veterans and Civilians
Using data from the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates, this study used latent class analysis to examine patterns of mental health comorbidity within a large, nationally-representative sample of incarcerated adults ( N = 24,848), including 7.6% with prior military service. Classes were compared on Veteran status, military service-related variables, and treatment-related variables. Results suggest four latent mental health patterns—“Low Psychopathology…

Emotion Regulation Mediates Effects of Alexithymia and Emotion Differentiation on Impulsive Aggressive Behavior
Alexithymia and low emotion differentiation restrict access to emotional information and increase propensity toward dysregulated and deviant behaviors, such as impulsive aggression. However, mechanisms underlying such effects are largely unknown. This study examined the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between restricted access to emotional information and impulsive aggression. Alexithymic features and emotion differentiat…
