A Longitudinal Analysis of Self‐Rated Health Correlates and Predictors in Hurricane Survivors
INTRODUCTION: Poor self-rated health (i.e., perceived health status relative to same-aged individuals) is associated with elevated all-cause mortality. Research examining post-disaster self-rated health is limited but could inform disaster theory and interventions. Identifying and subsequently mitigating individual and contextual determinants of self-rated health could address adverse, downstream effects. METHOD: The current study includes second…
Does digital health improve equity for Latine mental health after a disaster? Evidence from a randomized trial with 2017 and 2018 hurricane survivors
Together, results suggest that BBN resulted in similar rates of use and efficacy, and BBN reached a substantial proportion of those who were not receiving care across both non-Latine White and Latine participants. We outline additional suggestions for enhancing the capacity for tools like BBN to help address mental health equity. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Investigating the Potential Double-Edged Score of Immigration-Related Stress, Discrimination, and Mental Health Access
Prior work has suggested that discrimination and immigration-related stress may impede mental health care seeking and utilization among Latinx populations. These effects may be more nuanced as both discrimination and immigration-related stress may increase symptomology, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Both symptoms may, in turn, prompt attempts to seek care. The current study examined the direct effects of discr…
Measurement of adolescent psychological wellbeing: A test of factor structure and measurement invariance
Gains in holistic approaches to adult mental health have been associated with increasing interest in understanding psychological wellbeing (PWB) among adolescents. Empirical examination of measurement models for PWB in adolescence is lacking. Thus, the current study examined PWB in a longitudinal, diverse sample of 433 adolescents (non-Latinx Black: 37.6%; non-Latinx White: 25.9%; Latinx: 36.5%; Male adolescents: 50.1%). A one-factor, correlated …
Clinical diversity in a randomized trial that explicitly sought racial/ethnic diversity in its sample: Baseline comparisons in a treatment of youth substance use and posttraumatic stress
Results suggest that efforts to expand racial/ethnic diversity in an RCT of combined substance use and trauma-focused mental health may also expand other clinical dimensions. Many of these differences reflect multiple dimensions of racism experienced by NL Black families that clinicians must attend to. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
Refining the Migrant Farmworker Stress Inventory among Latino migrant farmworkers in rural Nebraska
The Migrant Farmworker Stress Inventory (MFWSI) was developed to measure the distinct stressors faced by migrant farmworkers. The most appropriate measurement and factor structure, however, has been primarily examined with exploratory methods with no studies of confirmatory factor analyses to date. The current study built on prior exploratory factor analytic approaches using the MFWSI by applying confirmatory factor analyses and other tests of va…
Mental health and marginalization stress in transgender and gender diverse adults: Differences between urban and non-urban experiences
We demonstrate that marginalization stress processes appear to account for some of the differences between TGD individuals living in urban, rural, and urban cluster areas. The differences between areas largely persist, however, after controlling for marginalization stress, especially when comparing urban with urban cluster areas
Immigrant and U.S.-born migrant farmworkers: Dual paths to discrimination-related health outcomes
values < .05). Simply comparing Latino groups across U.S. nativity may paper over important differences in how they arrive at those health outcomes, including that immigration-related concerns may exacerbate exposure to and severity of discrimination, which in turn leads to negative health outcomes. On the other hand, discrimination itself may account for numerous negative health outcomes more directly for U.S.-born Latinos. (PsycInfo Database Re…
Emotional support and mental health among Somali men in a rural Midwestern town
Perceived social support has been correlated with refugees’ positive mental health outcomes; yet, little is known about the perceived sources of support after secondary migration to new-destination rural towns. Somali refugee men (n _ 49) residing in a rural Midwest United States community were recruited using respondent-driven sampling to complete a self-administered structured survey in English or Somali using audio computer-assisted self-inter…
Emotional Maltreatment and Adolescent Depression: Mediating Mechanisms and Demographic Considerations in a Child Welfare Sample
Emotional maltreatment is a risk factor for adolescent depression. Yet, it remains unclear whether commissions and omissions of emotional maltreatment (a) confer vulnerability via distinct mechanisms and (b) demonstrate similar risk across adolescent subpopulations. The present, multiwave study examined whether school engagement and peer relationships explain the depressive effects of distinct emotional maltreatment subtypes in an at-risk child w…
Testing Traditional Machismo and the Gender Role Strain Theory With Mexican Migrant Farmworkers
The current study examines the moderating role of traditional machismo on mental health outcomes. We hypothesized that machismo would enhance the effects of stressors that are incongruent with traditional machismo beliefs (discrimination, adverse childhood experiences [ACEs], and fear of deportation) on depression and anxiety outcomes but would not enhance stressors that are congruent (harsh working conditions and poverty) on depression and anxie…
Combinatorial effects of discrimination, legal status fears, adverse childhood experiences, and harsh working conditions among Latino migrant farmworkers: Testing learned helplessness hypotheses
Migrant farmwork is often characterized by harsh working conditions that carry significant physical and mental health consequences. Using a learned helplessness framework, the current study examined the extent to which discrimination, immigration legal status difficulties, and adverse childhood experiences moderated the effects of harsh working conditions on depression and anxiety. The study also examined the extent to which harsh working conditi…
Barriers to and Methods of Help Seeking for Domestic Violence Victimization: A Comparison of Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Women Residing in the United States
This study examined strategies Hispanic and non-Hispanic White victims of domestic violence use to manage violence and leave their relationships. Participants ( N = 76, 41% Hispanic) completed self-report questionnaires and a semistructured interview with a language-congruent research assistant. Hispanics reported child care needs and fears of social embarrassment as barriers to leaving, while non-Hispanic Whites reported fewer social supports as…
Sociodemographic and Incident Variables as Predictors of Victim Injury From Intimate Partner Violence: Findings From Police Reports
Predictors of victim injury from intimate partner violence (IPV) were investigated using 1,292 police reports collected in South Carolina in 2009/2010. All cases were opposite sex adults. Results from bivariate statistics showed that IPV cases with ( n = 649) and without visible injuries ( n = 643) differed on victim gender, victim race, type of relationship, and perpetrator's alcohol use. Results from a logistic regression analysis predicting vi…
The Role of Sex-Related Alcohol Expectancies in Alcohol-Involved Consensual and Nonconsensual Sex Among Women of Asian/Pacific Islander and Women of European Race/Ethnicity
Alcohol-involved sexual experiences, including incapacitated sexual assault and alcohol-involved sex, are major public health concerns among college women. Further, racial/ethnic diversity among college students is increasing, particularly with regard to increases in college students of Asian/Pacific Islander (API) race/ethnicity. Of relevance, evidence suggests differences in sexual assault rates across ethnicities and cultures; however, no know…
Racial/ethnic differences in trauma exposure and mental health disorders in adolescents
Trauma-related disparities may differ across internalizing and externalizing concerns. Subsequent research should continue to examine other factors that may contribute to racial/ethnic differences in trauma sequelae. (PsycINFO Database Record
Person‐Centered Approaches to Understanding Early Family Risk
Research consistently indicates that exposure to early family adversity is associated with compromised development in early childhood. Consequently, researchers, direct service workers, and policy makers have sought to understand and alleviate the multidimensional stressors faced by families during the prenatal and early childhood periods. Person‐centered approaches are one method of understanding the interplay of risk factors. The present review…
Does integrated behavioral health care reduce mental health disparities for Latinos? Initial findings
Integrated behavioral health care (IBHC) is a model of mental health care service delivery that seeks to reduce stigma and service utilization barriers by embedding mental health professionals into the primary care team. This study explored whether IBHC service referrals, utilization, and outcomes were comparable for Latinos and non-Latino White primary care patients. Data for the current study were collected from 793 consecutive patients (63.8% …
A Multi-Study Analysis of Conceptual and Measurement Issues Related to Health Research on Acculturation in Latinos
Care providers should examine acculturation as a bidimensional construct
Mental Health Needs and Service Utilization by Hispanic Immigrants Residing in Mid-Southern United States
Purpose: This study assessed mental health needs and service utilization patterns in a convenience sample of Hispanic immigrants. Design and Method: A total of 84 adult Hispanic participants completed a structured diagnostic interview and a semistructured service utilization interview with trained bilingual research assistants. Results: In the sample, 36% met diagnostic criteria for at least one mental disorder. Although 42% of the sample saw a p…
Cognitive Appraisals of Specialty Mental Health Services and Their Relation to Mental Health Service Utilization in the Rural Population
Purpose: Rural individuals utilize specialty mental health services (eg, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and social workers) at lower rates than their urban counterparts. This study explores whether cognitive appraisals (ie, individual perceptions of need for services, outcome expectancies, and value of a positive therapeutic outcome) of help‐seeking for depression symptoms are related to the utilization of specialty mental health servi…
