This study extended research on syndemics for women with mental disorders by including self-reported mental and physical health conditions.

Transnational Motherhood: Health of Hispanic Mothers in the United States Who Are Separated From Children
Immigration often results in the separation of families, and in particular transnational parenting, which is the separation of mothers from children.

Using a clinical sample of convenience, analyses were conducted to identify similarities an…

Brief structural/strategic family therapy with African and Hispanic high-risk youth
Brief Strategic/Structural Family Therapy was implemented as an indicated prevention intervention to reduce the likelihood that African American and Hispanic youth initiated drug use. The intervention was designed to impact two important risk factors for initiation, namely behavior problems and poor family functioning. One hundred twenty-two youth, 12–14 years of age and exhibiting behavior problems, were assigned within a basic one-group pretest…
