Fiscal reform under the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ and its public health implications
Profiles of behavioral health service utilization among youth involved in the juvenile legal system
Advancing mental health equity through adapting an evidence-based traumatic stress intervention to address racial trauma
As research consistently documents the harm from racial trauma and limited access to mental health supports for Black youth, it is imperative to develop and implement accessible and relevant interventions. This study addressed a gap in existing interventions with an iterative process that centers the experiences of Black youth exposed to racial trauma. The response to the adapted intervention indicates HEART is a promising approach to reduce ment…
Safety Net Programs as Primary Prevention Against Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the United States
We examine access to U.S. welfare programs-Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-as primary prevention strategies against adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Using the University of Kentucky's National Welfare Data and National Survey of Children's Health (2016-2022), we estimate two-way fixed effects models linking state-level access rates to child-level ACE incidence. TANF access p…
Economic insecurity and depression among youth of color during the Covid-19 pandemic
Although the pandemic intensified acute stressors, these findings highlight deeper, long-standing structural inequities that contribute to the mental health challenges of youth of color and remain relevant in the post-pandemic period. The personal salience of COVID-related financial strain may have had a particularly strong psychological link during this period. Accordingly, we discuss implications for clinical, community, and policy intervention…
Likelihood of using a harm reduction vending machine among rural people who inject drugs in Appalachian Kentucky
Can adverse childhood experiences predict chronic health conditions? Development of trauma-informed, explainable machine learning models
Introduction: Decades of research have established the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adult onset of chronic diseases, influenced by health behaviors and social determinants of health (SDoH). Machine Learning (ML) is a powerful tool for computing these complex associations and accurately predicting chronic health conditions. Methods: Using the 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, we developed several ML m…
“There’s room to do more”
Introduction Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a risk factor for homicides and suicides. As poverty is both a predictor and a consequence of IPV, interventions that alleviate poverty-related stressors could mitigate IPV-related harms. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), a monthly cash assistance program, is one such potential intervention. In the state of Georgia, the TANF diversion program, which provides a non-recurrent lump-sum pa…
Syringe reuse among people who inject drugs in rural Appalachian Kentucky
The War on Drugs, Racialized Capitalism, and Health Care Utilization Among White People Who Use Drugs in 22 Rural Appalachian Counties
Objectives. To analyze War on Drugs encounters and their relationships to health care utilization among White people who use drugs (PWUD) in 22 Appalachian rural counties in Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, and North Carolina. Methods. We recruited White PWUD using chain referral sampling in 2018 to 2020. Surveys asked about criminal–legal encounters, unmet health care needs, and other covariates. We used generalized estimating equations to regress…
Developing practices for hospital-based violence intervention programs to address anti-Black racism and historical trauma
To promote health equity among Black youth exposed to community violence, it is critical that psychologists partner with other health care professionals and communities with lived experience to explicitly address anti-Black racism and historical trauma as fundamental contributors to violence-related health inequities. This article describes our community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to develop practices for hospital-based violence…
Reducing stigma associated with mental health problems among university students in the Asia-Pacific
INTRODUCTION: Studies have demonstrated that mental health problems among university students may be increasing in both prevalence and severity. This study aimed to identify ways to reduce stigma and improve students' utilization of mental health services. METHODS: We performed a content analysis on video proposals to address stigma and mental health at universities, submitted by 15 teams from nine Asian-Pacific countries as part of a case compet…
The Manila Declaration on Migration and Health
BACKGROUND: Migration has played, and continues to play, an important role in shaping our global economy. As of 2017, there were 258 million international migrants worldwide, over 100 million of whom came from the Asia-Pacific region. Migration is increasingly recognized as a social determinant of health, as migrants often experience vulnerabilities that make them susceptible to a range of negative health outcomes. Addressing the health and human…
