Qualitative analysis of healthy eating attitudes among self-sufficient shelter residents
Access and feasibility are strong barriers to healthy eating and prevalent among individuals in the lowest income bracket. While studies have addressed ways policymakers can alleviate these issues, more qualitative research is needed to understand food access in these populations. To assess nutrition beliefs and behaviors, this study recruited 31 self-sufficient shelter residents (individuals within 3 months of a stable life situation) to complet…
Inflammation, depression, and anxiety related to recognition memory in young adults
Previous research suggests that common modifiable health risk factors (e.g., depression, anxiety, metabolic illness, inflammation) may have an impact on memory. In the present study, we sought to investigate relationships between a number of these health risk factors and two components of recognition memory (recollection and familiarity). Data were analyzed for 96 healthy young adults between 17 and 25 years old. Recollection and familiarity were…
The Impact of Sleep Complaints on Physical Health and Immune Outcomes in Rescue Workers
OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluated the extent to which sleep assessed soon after a trauma predicted subsequent physical health and immune functioning in rescue workers. METHODS: Participants included 159 men and women who performed rescue and clean-up operations at the site of a major airplane crash. One hundred twenty-eight participants were retained for a 1-year follow-up. Self-report measures of sleep quality and psychological distress wer…

Stress, Coping, and Immune Function
Stress is a fundamental process, characterizing people's interactions with their environments and responses to challenge. Appraisals of threatening or harmful challenges motivate people to take action to either eliminate these stressors or protect themselves from the stressor's negative impact. These appraisals and coping efforts elicit a series of specific and nonspecific cognitive, behavioral, and physiological responses. Stress responses, in t…
Coping With Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer Susceptibility
OBJECTIVE: To examine how women cope with genetic testing for heightened susceptibility to breast cancer. METHODS: Participants were 126 White women (age = 44 +/- 9 years) who were participants in a larger study of genetic testing for risk of different chronic diseases. All women were at higher-than-average risk for breast cancer due to a personal and/or family history and were considering genetic testing. Distress (Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, …
Predictors of Posttraumatic Stress Among Victims of Motor Vehicle Accidents
OBJECTIVE: This study identified factors that predict individual vulnerability to psychological trauma by examining the relationships among situation and person variables and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 1, 6, and 12 months after a serious motor vehicle accident (MVA). METHODS: Background characteristics, exposure variables (ie, injury severity and accident characteristics), and psychosocial variables (ie, perceived loss of co…
Urinary Catecholamines and Cortisol in Recent-Onset Posttraumatic Stress Disorder After Motor Vehicle Accidents
OBJECTIVE: This study examined relationships among stress hormone levels, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis and symptoms, and gender shortly after a common civilian trauma. METHODS: Levels of catecholamines and cortisol in 15-hour urine samples were examined in 55 adults who had been in serious motor vehicle accidents and in 22 age-matched control. RESULTS: Catecholamines were related to PTSD diagnosis and symptoms, but only among me…
Assessment of Characteristics of Intrusive Thoughts and Their Impact on Distress Among Victims of Traumatic Events
OBJECTIVE: This study examines the psychometric properties of the Intrusive Thoughts Questionnaire (ITQ) and its utility as a predictor of distress among trauma victims. METHOD: Victims of three types of trauma, a motor vehicle accident (N = 115), a hurricane (N = 182), and recovery work after an airline disaster (N = 159), completed the ITQ along with the Impact of Event Scale (IES) and the Symptom Checklist-90, Revised (SCL-90-R), at several di…
Chronic Stress and Natural Killer Cell Activity After Exposure to Traumatic Death
OBJECTIVE: The present study examined the effects of working at the crash site of USAir Flight 427 on psychological, cardiovascular, and immunological sequelae of stress within 2 months of the recovery work and again 6 months after the crash. METHOD: A total of 159 workers at the crash site and 41 controls were examined within 2 months of the crash and again 6 months after the crash. Subjects were initially grouped according to whether they had c…
