Mental health symptoms and discrimination among immigrant and US-born Hispanic or Latino adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
Mental health symptoms and birthplace were significantly associated with experiences of discrimination among Hispanic or Latino individuals, with more pronounced risks for US-born individuals. These findings highlight birthplace-related disparities and broader disparities in mental health and discrimination within the growing US Hispanic or Latino population. More research should explore potential mechanisms for bidirectional associations between…
Exploring the relationship between vaccine hesitancy and mothers’ perspectives on Covid-19 vaccines for children ages 5–11 years during the omicron predominant period 2021–2022
Background: The United States Food and Drug Administration authorized COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 5-11 years in October 2021 during the Omicron predominant period. Parental vaccine hesitancy was prevalent during this time, resulting in low childhood COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Most studies exploring factors influencing parental vaccine hesitancy have focused on racial and ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic populations; however, there …
Influence of biopsychosocial factors on self-reported anxiety/depression symptoms among first-generation immigrant population in the U.S
The findings reveal significant burden of anxiety and depression among first-generation population in the U.S., with higher risks among subgroups like young adults, females, sexual minorities, and non-Hispanic White and other/multi-racial individuals.

Examining Disparities in Current E-Cigarette Use among U.S. Adults before and after the WHO Declaration of the Covid-19 Pandemic in March 2020
This paper aims to estimate the prevalence of e-cigarette use before and after the COVID-19 pandemic declaration and to delineate disparities in use across subpopulations. Data were derived from the 2020 Health Information National Trends Survey ( N = 3865) to conduct weighted multivariable logistic regression and marginal analyses. The overall prevalence of current e-cigarette use increased from 4.79% to 8.63% after the COVID-19 pandemic declara…
Association between E-Cigarette Use Behaviors and Anxiety/Depression among Black/African American Adults Based on Sexual Identity
Limited studies have examined disparities in e-cigarette use among Black/African American adults by sexual identity and whether the relationship between symptoms of anxiety/depression and e-cigarette use varies by sexual identity. We examined the association between e-cigarette use behaviors (never, former, and current use) and anxiety/depression among a nationally representative sample of Black/African American adults who identified as a sexual …
The Promise of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis – Examining Awareness, Knowledge, and Willingness to use Different Modalities Among US-Based African Immigrants
Differences in the Perceived Likelihood of Receiving Covid-19 Vaccine
There are limited studies on the perceived likelihood of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine among the general US population and its subpopulations. We examined the association between the perceived likelihood of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine with the self-reported likelihood of contracting COVID-19, social-distancing stress, COVID-19 diagnosis status, mental health disorders, and sociodemographic characteristics. The data were collected using a national…
Effect Modification of Illicit Drug Use on Symptoms of a Major Depressive Episode to Better Understand Binge Drinking by Adolescents and Adults in the United States
Spatial and multilevel analysis of unskilled birth attendance in Chad
Unskilled birth attendance is spatially clustered in some parts of Chad, and it is associated with various disadvantaged individual and community level factors. When developing interventions for unskilled birth attendance in Chad, concerned international bodies, the Chad government, maternal health advocates, and private stakeholders should consider targeting the high-risk local areas identified in this study
