Parenting self-efficacy and maternal mental health: The implications of cultural considerations for family-focused practice in the U.S
The potential benefits of family-focused practice for parents with mental illness have received increasing attention in the last decade, given the significant relationship between parenting status and mental health. It is important to place the experience of motherhood in a cultural context, an approach that is likely to enhance the effectiveness of interventions, services, and supports for mothers and their families. In this Perspective article,…

Task-sharing holds promise for bridging gaps in access to mental healthcare; yet there remain significant challenges to scaling up task-sharing models. This formative study aimed to develop a digital platform for training non-specialist providers without prior experience in mental healthcare to deliver a brief psychosocial intervention for depression in community settings in Texas. A 5-step development approach was employed, consisting of: bluepr…
An action research partnership in an urban Texas county to explore barriers and opportunities for collaborative community health needs assessments
Background: The Affordable Care Act mandated triennial community health needs assessments (CHNAs) for greater nonprofit hospital accountability in responding to community health needs. Over 10 years later, hospital spending on community benefits remains largely unchanged. While greater collaboration in CHNA implementation can increase hospital investment in community-based initiatives, nonprofit hospitals in conservative states are subject to pol…
Attitudes and personal beliefs about the Covid-19 vaccine among people with Covid-19: A mixed-methods analysis
Our results show that two of the three factors that drive vaccine hesitancy (complacency, and lack of confidence in the vaccines) are present among unvaccinated adults recently diagnosed with COVID-19. They also show that beliefs emphasizing the importance of the greater good promote public health participation
Changes in flourishing from adolescence to young adulthood: An 8‐year follow‐up
Most research on mental health among adolescents and young adults concentrates on understanding mental illness. However, mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. Among adolescents and young adults, positive mental health—a combination of emotional, social and psychological well‐being—is related to higher prosocial behaviour, school integration and self‐concept. However, much of the research on positive mental health among young a…

Feeding behavior in three-year-old children born <30 weeks and term-born peers
Racial/ethnic subgroup differences in outcomes and acceptability of an Internet-delivered intervention for substance use disorders
The Therapeutic Education System (TES), an Internet version of the Community Reinforcement Approach plus prize-based motivational incentives, is one of few empirically supported technology-based interventions. To date, however, there has not been a study exploring differences in substance use outcomes or acceptability of TES among racial/ethnic subgroups. This study uses data from a multisite (N = 10) effectiveness study of TES to explore whether…
Racial and ethnic differences in treatment outcomes among adults with stimulant use disorders after a dosed exercise intervention
The current study examined differences in substance abuse treatment outcomes among racial and ethnic groups enrolled in the Stimulant Reduction Intervention using Dosed Exercise (STRIDE) trial, a multisite randomized clinical trial implemented through the National Institute on Drug Abuse's (NIDA's) Clinical Trials Network (CTN). STRIDE aimed to test vigorous exercise as a novel approach to the treatment of stimulant abuse compared to a health edu…

Integrated health care for decreasing depressive symptoms in Latina women: Initial findings
Comorbidities and Race/Ethnicity Among Adults with Stimulant Use Disorders in Residential Treatment
Comorbid physical and mental health problems are associated with poorer substance abuse treatment outcomes; however, little is known about these conditions among stimulant abusers at treatment entry. This study compared racial and ethnic groups on baseline measures of drug use patterns, comorbid physical and mental health disorders, quality of life, and daily functioning among cocaine and stimulant abusing/dependent patients. Baseline data from a…
