Health Care Service Utilization Among People with HIV, Chronic Pain, and Depression
HIV-Pass (Pain and Sadness Support)
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether HIV-Pain and Sadness Support (HIV-PASS), a collaborative behavioral health intervention based on behavioral activation, is associated with decreased pain-related interference with daily activities, depression, and other outcomes in people living with HIV. METHODS: We conducted a three-site clinical trial ( n = 187) in which we randomly assigned participants to receive either HIV-PASS or health educ…
Acceptance of chronic pain in depressed patients with HIV
Chronic pain is highly prevalent among persons with HIV (PWH), as is depression. Both comorbidities might contribute to, as well as be maintained by, avoidance-based coping. A promising alternative to avoidance-based coping is acceptance. Acceptance of pain is associated with improved functioning and quality of life in chronic pain patients, but this relationship has not been substantially explored among PWH. Cross-sectional data from 187 adult o…
Posttraumatic stress disorder in African American and Latinx adults
Research has suggested that African American and Latinx adults may develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at higher rates than White adults, and that the clinical course of PTSD in these minority groups is poor. Factors that may contribute to higher prevalence and poorer outcome in these groups are sociocultural factors and racial stressors, such as experiences with discrimination. To date, however, no research has explored the relationship…
Pilot Randomized Trial of Collaborative Behavioral Treatment for Chronic Pain and Depression in Persons Living with HIV/Aids
Differences between Latino individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder and those with other anxiety disorders
Psychometric Properties of the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale in a Longitudinal Study of Latinos With Anxiety Disorders
The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) is one of the most commonly used measures of social anxiety symptoms. To date, no study has examined its psychometric properties in a Latino sample. The authors examined the reliability, temporal stability, and convergent validity of the LSAS in 73 Latinos diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. The original LSAS subscales showed excellent internal consistency and temporal stability over a 1-year period. Part…
Determinants of sexual arousal and the accuracy of its self‐estimation in sexually functional males
Men with and without sexual dysfunction present with varying patterns of agreement between subjective estimates of sexual arousal and more objective psychophysiological measures of the same construct. This relative accuracy seems to be associated with sexual function, with men who have sexual dysfunction presenting less accurate estimations (mostly reporting below measured arousal levels). The purpose of this study is to clarify the processes und…
