The Effects of Food Security on Academic Performance of University Students at a Hispanic-Serving Institution
Several studies find that low food security has negative effects on academic performance in higher education in the U.S., but the samples for these studies often have low percentages of Hispanic students. Consequently, it remains unclear if food security affects academic performance in predominantly Hispanic settings. Our study aims to analyze whether food security affects academic performance at a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI). Using origin…
Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Needs among Hispanic Women Living on the US-Mexico Border
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of female cancer and has a disproportionate impact on Hispanic women living on the US-Mexico border, especially those who are migrants or low-income. However, cervical cancer is primarily caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection that can be successfully prevented and treated early with vaccination and screening. Several studies have explored factors affecting HPV pre…
The Use of Photovoice Methodology to Assess Health Needs and Identify Opportunities Among Migrant Transgender Women in the U.S.-Mexico Border
Psychosocial, social and structural conditions have rarely been studied among transgender women in the U.S.-Mexico Border. This study used Photovoice methodology to empower migrant transgender women of color (TWC) to reflect on realities from their own perspectives and experiences and promote critical dialogue, knowledge, and community action. Sixteen participants documented their daily experiences through photography, engaged in photo-discussion…
Food and housing security at a US Hispanic-Serving Institution
University students occupy a socially marginal position and therefore are often underserved by academic and service institutions. This article analyzes food and housing security among students at The University of Texas at El Paso, a Hispanic-Serving Institution located in the U.S.-Mexico Border region. Findings of a sample of n = 7,633 university students are presented in the first cross-sectional, two-year food and housing security study on cam…

The exploratory cross-sectional mix-method study recruited 141 (n = 141) youth and young adults (ages 18-39). This study was informed on empirical researc…
Mental Health Stressors in Higher Education Instructors and Students in Mexico During the Emergency Remote Teaching Implementation due to Covid-19
The COVID 19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the physical and emotional health of the population. In the case of specific populations, such as students and instructors, the change in the teaching-learning model has required both groups to adapt to online learning platforms and modify all academic activities in the context of implementing the emergency remote education model. The relevance of mental health has been continually neglected; …

Relationship Factors Associated with Sexual Risk Behavior and High-Risk Alcohol Consumption Among Latino Men Who Have Sex with Men
Syndemic factors associated with drinking patterns among Latino men and Latina transgender women who have sex with men in New York City
Alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern among Latino men and Latina transgender women who have sex with men. However, characteristics and behaviors associated with alcohol consumption in this population, particularly in regard to the complex influence of syndemic factors, remain understudied. The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of high-risk alcohol consumption (i.e. binge or heavy drinking). Between January and …
