  • Project Relate

    Open AccessAtina Manvelian, Ian Sotomayor et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026

    Youth begin to make difficult decisions about romantic relationships in emerging adulthood; yet, most relationship education programs only target adults in existing relationships and are delivered in-person, creating dissemination barriers. Online single-session interventions (SSIs) can expand intervention access, teaching youth evidence-based relational skills early on. In the present study, we adapted an evidence-based romantic competence works…

  • Anxiety identity centrality is associated with avoidant coping in anxious adults

    Isaac Ahuvia, Jeremy William Eberle et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Clinical…2025

    Introduction: Some have suggested that labeling oneself as having clinical anxiety may promote avoidant coping, which is associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, the construct of anxiety identity centrality (seeing one's anxiety as relatively important to one's self-concept) has rarely been assessed, and its relationship with avoidant coping has not been investigated. Methods: In a sample of 1,234 high-anxiety adults, we analyzed the rela…

  • My family won't let me.” Adolescent‐reported barriers to accessing mental health care

    Open AccessChantelle A Roulston, Isaac Ahuvia et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence2025Cited by: 1References: 1

    Depression is the leading cause of disability among adolescents. Fewer than 50% of youth with depression access mental healthcare services. Leveraging a mixed-methods approach, this pre-registered study characterized youths' self-reported barriers to accessing mental healthcare in a socio-demographically diverse sample of 123 United States adolescents (ages 13-16, identifying as Asian (n = 19), Hispanic (n = 23), Black (n = 7), White (n = 65), or…

  • A Mixed-Methods Investigation of Adolescents’ Beliefs About the Causes of Depression

    Open AccessIsaac Ahuvia, Sharon Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescent Research2024References: 6

    The goal of the present study was to better understand adolescents’ beliefs about what causes depression and how these beliefs relate to other clinical constructs. This study explored the causal beliefs about depression held by a diverse sample of U.S. adolescents with elevated depression symptoms ( N = 281; 55% White non-Hispanic; 53% cisgender girl; 78% LGBQ*). Qualitative methods were used to identify causal beliefs from open-ended survey resp…

  • Population mental health science

    Kenneth A Dodge, Mitchell J Prinstein et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2024Cited by: 1

    A recent American Psychological Association Summit provided an urgent call to transform psychological science and practice away from a solely individual-level focus to become accountable for population-level impact on health and mental health. A population focus ensures the mental health of all children, adolescents, and adults and the elimination of inequities across groups. Science must guide three components of this transformation. First, effe…

  • Evaluating a treatment selection approach for online single‐session interventions for adolescent depression

    Open AccessIsaac Ahuvia, Michael C Mullarkey et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: The question 'what works for whom' is essential to mental health research, as matching individuals to the treatment best suited to their needs has the potential to maximize the effectiveness of existing approaches. Digitally administered single-session interventions (SSIs) are effective means of reducing depressive symptoms in adolescence, with potential for rapid, large-scale implementation. However, little is known about which SSIs …

  • Adolescents’ beliefs about what symptoms constitute depression

    Open AccessIsaac Ahuvia, Kathryn R Fox et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023

    What symptoms do people think constitute “depression”? In a mental health literacy framework, knowing more of depression's nine core symptoms (per formal psychiatric diagnostic criteria) is thought to help people identify and seek help for depression. However, the common-sense model of self-regulation suggests that more expansive beliefs about what symptoms constitute an illness may be maladaptive, whereby viewing more symptoms as characterizing …
