“It’s Our Superpower”
African American/Black and Latine (AABL) emerging adults living with HIV have insufficient engagement along the HIV care continuum, and lower rates than their White peers. Some subpopulations (e.g., those with unsuppressed HIV viral load, immigrants) and aspects of their experiences are understudied. This study uses a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design to explore motivational appraisals (e.g., core health goals), generative capabilities …
Social processes and engagement along the HIV care continuum
Racial/ethnic and age-related disparities in HIV care continuum engagement are serious in the US. American/Black and Latine (AABL) young/emerging adults living with HIV have the lowest rates of engagement, but aspects of their experiences and some subpopulations are understudied. The present study is grounded in social action theory and uses a sequential explanatory mixed methods design to explore social interaction processes (e.g., social networ…
A mixed methods descriptive study of a diverse cohort of African American/Black and Latine young and emerging adults living with HIV
The present study advances what is known about the backgrounds and contexts of diverse and understudied AABL young/emerging adults living with HIV
The Joint Effect of Childhood Abuse and Homelessness on Substance Use in Adulthood
Background Childhood abuse and homelessness are independently associated with substance use. Though childhood abuse and homelessness are strongly correlated, research on the joint effect of exposure to both traumatic life events on substance use is limited. Objective: To estimate independent and joint effects of childhood abuse and homelessness on substance use risk during emerging adulthood and adulthood. Methods: Using the National Longitudinal…
“No brokers to move out of here”
Homelessness in the United States has been increasing at an exponential rate over the past three decades, and the US has not experienced the current level of homelessness since the Great Depression of the 1930's. With this rise in homelessness has come an increase in the number of rules, regulations, and strict and punitive policies within shelters. Given the historic levels of homelessness nationally and increased bureaucracy, this paper aims to…
The Impact of Shelter Environment, Parental Communication, and Supervision on Depression Outcomes Among an Urban Sample of Adolescent First-Time Shelter Users in New York City
Using data from the cross-sectional HIV prevention Outreach for Parents and Early Adolescents (HOPE) study, we explored the impact of shelter environment, quality parenting, as well as the effects of gender and first-time shelter use on depression outcomes among 243 adolescent shelter users in New York City. Results indicate comfort in the shelter environment, and higher rates of monitoring and supervision were associated with lower rates of depr…
Assessing the Relationship Between the Perceived Shelter Environment and Mental Health Among Homeless Caregivers
Little attention has been given to how the environment of homeless shelters may impact the mental health of their residents. This study addresses this gap in the literature and presents a cross-sectional analysis of 209 caregivers nested within 10 family shelters across New York City. Multivariate regression was employed using hierarchical modeling to test the association between two shelter related variables (ie, the perceived social environment…
