Disparities in HIV testing, STI testing, and associated risk factors in high school-aged youth
Adolescents and young adults aged15 and 25 have the highest rates of STIs and HIV, yet they often do not seek testing or treatment. This study examined the factors influencing HIV and STI testing among sexually active high school students using data from the 2019 and 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS), which sampled students across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Key variables included HIV and STI testing, sex, race/ethnicity, se…
Culture, Acculturation, and Physical Activity among US Hispanic/Latino Adults
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore published literature on the relationship between acculturative experiences, cultural factors, cultural beliefs, and physical activity (PA) among Hispanic/Latino adults in the United States. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, We conducted a systematic review via the university library database utilizing the search terms "fitness OR physical activity, AND Hispanic OR Latino, AND acculturation …
Increased Likelihood of Forced Sexual Intercourse, Sexual Violence, and Sexual Dating Violence Victimization Among Sexual Minority Youth
Sexual Dating Violence, School-Based Violence, and Risky Behaviors Among U.S. High School Students
Hooking-Up, Religiosity, and Sexting Among College Students
The FLASHE Study
Objectives: Understanding modifiable risk factors related to cancer among adolescents and their parents may help identify at-risk populations and intervention aims for reducing cancer risk among families. Methods: Participants were 1336 adolescent-parent dyads who participated in the 2014 Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating (FLASHE) conducted by the National Cancer Institute. Using independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA, we asses…
Adolescent Nonmedical Use of Opioids and Alcohol Mixed with Energy Drinks
Objective In this study, we examined the relationship between alcohol mixed with energy drink use (AmED) and nonmedical prescription opioid use among 12th graders, using data from the 2015 Monitoring the Future Study. Methods Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and logistic regression analyses were used to determine differences in nonmedical prescription opioid use by students who used alcohol-only (AO) versus AmED and to identify covariates of nonmedical pres…
Intrapersonal Factors of Male and Female Adolescent Fruit and Vegetable Intake
Understanding the predictive strength and sex-specific differences of intrapersonal variables on male and female adolescent fruit and vegetable consumption informs health promotion efforts to increase intake to recommended amounts
Adolescent Energy Drink Use Related to Intake of Fried and High-sugar Foods
Energy drink consumption among adolescents may be linked to other high-risk nutrition intake behaviors, specifically increased consumption of fried and high-sugar foods. This study adds to the growing number of recent studies highlighting the multiple behavioral risks associated with early energy drink use. Health promotion and nutrition education efforts should focus on delaying early consumption of energy drinks among adolescents
Factors Associated with Discrimination among Minority College Students
Understanding the predictors of perceived racial discrimination may allow for the development of interventions that alleviate the stress associated with discrimination

Teaching computer design using virtual prototyping
The rapid increase in complexity and size of digital systems has reduced the effectiveness of old design methodologies based on physical prototyping. Prototyping via simulation must be used to achieve design cost and time-to-market goals when designing large digital systems. This virtual prototyping design methodology often permits the first physical prototype to be a manufacturable product. A two-course sequence has been developed to introduce s…
A Logic Simulator to Support Design Instruction
Digital and computer systems have received increased attention in recent years, and it has become necessary to introduce more digital design into already busy undergraduate electrical engineering programs. This paper describes a very simple digital hardware logic simulator that is in use to expand the undergraduate digital design education without increasing the student's work load. The student is exposed to the concept of digital hardware simula…
