Assessing tuberculosis stigma
Tuberculosis (TB) stigma continues to impede equitable access to prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care, undermining efforts to end the epidemic. Despite commitments to eliminate TB stigma in the 2023 United Nations Political Declaration on TB, implementation of evidence-based stigma reduction interventions remains constrained by limited systematic and comparable data. This community-led paper describes findings from 17 national TB stigma ass…
Transforming the language used in tuberculosis care
It was really painful to watch
Latinxs in the United States have been targeted by racialized immigration policies that threaten the well-being of not only those directly affected but also those who witness the hardship brought about by these events. This study explored Latinx young adults’ experiences of witnessing hardship brought to others both personally and among the collective. Data from 21 individual interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Analyses revealed fou…
Emotional wellbeing and coping among Latinx young adults in the time of Covid‐19
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the wellbeing of the general US population, but even more so among Latinx young adults. The current study provides a detailed picture of the emotional wellbeing and coping of Latinx young adults during the first summer of the pandemic. Six virtual focus groups (n = 21) were conducted between May and August of 2020 with a community-based sample of Latinx young adults to explore (1) how the pandemic affected well…
Anticipating Stress During the Covid-19 Pandemic
We examined the association of anticipatory negative consequences related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of Latinx young adults. Data are from a community-based study with first- and second-generation immigrant, Latinx young adults (18–26 years old). Participants completed an online survey about mental health and anticipated personal and family-related consequences due to the pandemic. Regression models examined the effects of anti…
The intersection of immigration policy impacts and Covid‐19 for Latinx young adults
For many Latinx young adults, COVID‐19 has exposed exclusionary policies that heighten risk for contracting the virus and that leave them and their parents unprotected. This study has a dual purpose; first, to quantitatively examine immigration policy impacts of discrimination, isolation, threats to family, and vulnerability, and their association to economic consequences experienced by Latinx young adults in Central Texas during the initial mont…
Occupational Stress and Mental Health Among Healthcare Workers Serving Socially Vulnerable Populations During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The purpose of this study was to analyze occupational and personal stressors, mental health indicators, perceived discrimination and help-seeking behaviors among healthcare workers and providers (HCWPs) serving socially vulnerable groups such as immigrants, refugees, farmworkers, homeless individuals, people living in poverty, and other disadvantaged populations in the United States (U.S.) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a cross-sectional des…
Economic and social consequences of Covid-19 and mental health burden among Latinx young adults during the 2020 pandemic
Latinx young adults 18-25 years old face unique challenges that disproportionately put them at high risk of experiencing health as well as economic and social burden due to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The present study examined how economic and psychosocial consequences as a result of the pandemic were associated with mental health issues among a community sample of Latinx young adults ( N = 83) from Central Texas. Participants c…
The Witness to Witness Program
The Witness to Witness Program (W2W), based on Weingarten’s witnessing model (2000, 2003, 2004), began in July 2018 and originally was established to support healthcare workers and attorneys (our partners) who were experiencing empathic distress working with people involved in various stages of the detention process. The W2W program evolved to offer four primary components: clinician listening sessions geared to deep understanding of the person’s…
Exploring Why Adult Mexican Males Do Not Get Vaccinated
Vaccination is the single most important preventive medicine action worldwide. However, there are inequalities in the procurement of vaccines particularly among US ethnic and racial minority males when compared to the rest of the US population. This study explored the reasons given by adult Mexican-origin males residing in Texas, for obtaining or not, immunizations. This was a cross-sectional, exploratory study with a sample of convenience of 401…
