The sample consisted of 275 bilinguals aged between 18 and 85 years who completed the tests for each language (Basque–Spanish or Catalan–Spanish) with order counterbalanced. The influence of predictors was evaluated with Generalized Linear Mixed Models. Language by letter and type of language by semantic category int…
A multi-national cross-sectional exploration of rehabilitation services for children and young people following brain injury in low and middle income countries
There is a lack of equity in accessibility of rehabilitation services for children and young people with BI in LMICs, with some services being non-existent in lower income countries. Improvements to obstetric services, screening and management of infectious diseases are needed to reduce rates of hypoxic injuries and injury prevention programmes are needed to reduce traumatic injury. Centralised, government funding is required to develop services …
Priorities of the Pediatric Spinal Cord Injury Population
Adolescents/young adults highlighted health domain priorities compared with their P&C, who equally considered L&H domains. Life domains, which were previously unaddressed, were highlighted by P&C, including "adulthood expectations" and "parenthood expectations". This survey will promote the involvement of stakeholders for comprehensive rehabilitation management for this population

Moderate, Little, or No Improvements in Neurobehavioral Symptoms among Individuals with Long Covid
(1) Background: Some people with COVID-19 develop a series of symptoms that last for several months after infection, known as Long COVID. Although these symptoms interfere with people's daily functioning and quality of life, few studies have focused on neurobehavioral symptoms and the risk factors associated with their development; (2) Methods: 1001 adults from 34 countries who had previously tested positive for COVID-19 completed the Neurobehavi…
Network Analysis of Neurobehavioral Symptom Patterns in an International Sample of Spanish-Speakers with a History of Covid-19 and Controls
(1) Background: Psychometric network analysis provides a novel statistical approach allowing researchers to model clusters of related symptoms as a dynamic system. This study applied network analysis to investigate the patterns of somatic, cognitive, and affective neurobehavioral symptoms in an international sample of Spanish-speaking individuals with a history of COVID-19 positivity and non-COVID controls; (2) methods: the sample (n = 1093) incl…
Trauma-Related Distress During the Covid-19 Pandemic In 59 Countries
The COVID-19 pandemic has upended life like few other events in modern history, with differential impacts on varying population groups. This study examined trauma-related distress among 6,882 adults ages 18 to 94 years old in 59 countries during April to May 2020. More than two-thirds of participants reported clinically significant trauma-related distress. Increased distress was associated with unemployment; identifying as transgender, nonbinary,…
Is Helping Really Helping? Health-Related Quality of Life after TBI Predicting Caregiver Depression Symptom Trajectories in Latin America
Previous research connecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and caregiver mental health has primarily been conducted cross-sectionally in the U.S. and Western Europe. This study, therefore, examined how HRQoL in individuals immediately after their TBI predicts longitudinal caregiver depression symptom trajectories in Latin America. A sample of 109 patients with an acute TBI and 109 caregivers (t…
Lockdown-Related Disparities Experienced by People with Disabilities during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Lockdown-related measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic can disproportionally affect people with disabilities with broader impact on their health and social grounds. Lack of disability-inclusive response and emergency preparedness and pre-pandemic disparities created structural disadvantages, exacerbated during the pandemic. Both structural disparities and their pandemic ramifications require the development and implementation of disability-in…
Health Risks and Consequences of a Covid-19 Infection for People with Disabilities
This study aims to synthesize the literature on any disproportionate health risks or consequences of a COVID-19 infection for people with disabilities. Scoping review with a descriptive thematic analysis was carried out. Up to mid-September 2020, seven scientific databases and three preprint servers were searched to identify empirical or perspective papers. Snowballing searches and expert' consultations also took place. Two independent reviewers …
A Study of Older Adults’ Mental Health across 33 Countries during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Despite older adults' extremely high vulnerability to COVID-19 complications and death, few studies have examined how personal characteristics and the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted the mental health of older adults at the global level. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among demographics, COVID-19 life impacts, and depression and anxiety in adults aged 60 and older from 33 countries. A sample of 823 older adults aged 60…
A Multi-Site Study of Traumatic Brain Injury in Mexico and Colombia
Latin America has high rates of traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet reduced mental and physical health outcomes due to limited rehabilitation services. To understand the psychosocial adjustment process in TBI patients in Latin America, the incorporation of cultural values including family-based variables is imperative. The current study examined relations among healthy family dynamics, coping, and mental and physical health related quality of life …
Longitudinal Growth Curve Trajectories of Family Dynamics after Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury in Mexico
Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a serious public health concern. Family members are often caregivers for children with TBI, which can result in a significant strain on familial relationships. Research is needed to examine aspects of family functioning in the context of recovery post-TBI, especially in Latin America, where cultural norms may reinforce caregiving by family members, but where resources for these caregivers may be s…
Neuropsychological functioning of individuals with coca paste use disorder
Background Cocaine use has increased worldwide in recent years. However, the specific effects of smoking coca paste and its consequences on the cognitive functioning of individuals are unknown. The purposes of this study were to compare the neuropsychological functioning of a group of 163 individuals with coca-paste use disorder (CPUD) to that of a group of 162 healthy controls (HC) and to examine the relationship between cognitive performance an…
Health-Related Quality of Life and Mental Health of Adolescents Involved in School Bullying and Homophobic Verbal Content Bullying
Bullying has been traditionally related to a significant reduction in well-being and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of adolescents. This negative impact on HRQoL seems to be modulated by the developed role in bullying (uninvolved, bully, victim or bully-victim). However, no studies have identified if these negative results are the same when other types of bullying, such as homophobic bullying, are evaluated. The main aim of the present st…
Perceived stress, resilience, and health‐related quality of life among Parkinson's disease caregivers in Mexico
The stress process model of caregiving posits that caregivers' internal psychosocial resources may serve as buffers between the stress associated with caregiving and well-being. Empirical support for the stress process model exists for several caregiving contexts, but little research has investigated the Parkinson's disease caregiving experience in Mexico. Using a cross-sectional, correlational design, the objective of this study was to examine w…
