Racial and Ethnic Differences in Relations Between Childhood Adversity and Psychological Adjustment Among Child Welfare-Involved Youth: A Systematic Review
This systematic review examined the extent of evidence that meaningfully examines racial/ethnic differences in the association between childhood adversity and psychological adjustment among child welfare-involved youth and synthesized findings. We pre-registered our study rationale and methodological and analytic plan in PROSPERO (#CRD42022350707). We conducted a search for articles on May 11, 2022, in APA PsycInfo, Academic Search Complete, CENT…
Associations Between Patterns of Sleep Disturbances and Mental Health Among Child Welfare-Involved Adolescents
Background/Objectives: Sleep is an important biobehavioral process that supports child and adolescent health and development. However, many prior studies examining sleep and mental health have relied on total sleep scores, which may mask the heterogeneity of sleep disturbances. Youth exposed to childhood adversity are at increased risk for sleep disturbances and poor mental health, and thus it is important to examine the links between sleep and m…
Childhood exposure to interpersonal and animal-directed violence: Adversity profiles and adult suicidality
Co-occurring exposure to interpersonal violence and animal-directed violence in childhood is associated with elevated adult suicidality. These results identify animal cruelty exposure as a meaningful component of threat-based adversity and support its inclusion in trauma history interviews and suicide risk assessments
Examining child welfare agency-level and youth-level factors associated with youth mental health: A multi-level analysis
The moderating role of school engagement on the relationship between childhood adversity and latent profiles of mental and behavioral health among child welfare-involved adolescents
Resilience and Strengths Among Minoritized Racial and Ethnic Groups of Children in the United States Exposed to Trauma, Violence, and Maltreatment: A Scoping Review
Children from minoritized racial and ethnic backgrounds are at a higher risk for exposure to trauma and violence because of longstanding structural inequities; yet, these children can experience resilience by drawing on assets and resources across multiple levels of the social and physical ecology. Guided by the Resilience Portfolio Model, this scoping review aimed to synthesize evidence from the quantitative and qualitative literature on strengt…
Dynamics of PTSD and autonomic symptoms in a longitudinal U.S. population-based sample
Results support the linkage between PTSD and autonomic symptoms over time and suggest that elevations in PTSD symptoms may precede future autonomic symptoms. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Patterns of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Postpartum Depressive Symptoms
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked with increased risk for postpartum depression, which subsequently can lead to poor maternal and infant outcomes. The present study investigated how different patterns of ACEs are associated with postpartum depressive symptoms and with use of depression screening services. A racially/ethnically diverse sample of low-income women ( N = 427) in an urban, university hospital in the Mid-Atlantic re…
Integrating animal cruelty exposure into person-centered models of childhood adversity: Latent classes and associations with depression, anxiety, and stress
Future research should test whether including animal cruelty in person-centered models of adversity improves identification of high-risk subgroups, and explore how such inclusion can inform multispecies approaches to violence prevention and intervention
Development and Validation of an Index to Measure and Quantify Pet-Related Barriers to Healthcare Access and Utilization
Issues such as inadequate transportation, language barriers, being uninsured, and living in geographic locations with poor service availability can prevent people from accessing necessary healthcare. In addition, approximately 60% of the US population has pets, which can also create barriers to healthcare that are related to pet caregiving responsibilities and concerns about pet welfare, particularly when they have inadequate social and economic …

A Hospital-Based Infant Safe Sleep Intervention and Safe Sleep Practices Among Young Women: A Prospective Longitudinal Study
Childhood Adversity Moderates Change in Latent Patterns of Psychological Adjustment during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Results of a Survey of U.S. Adults
Emerging evidence suggests that the consequences of childhood adversity impact later psychopathology by increasing individuals’ risk of experiencing difficulties in adjusting to stressful situations later in life. The goals of this study were to: (a) identify sociodemographic factors associated with subgroups of psychological adjustment prior to and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) examine whether and to what extent types of child…
Exploring dimensions of childhood adversity as predictors of psychological adjustment among adolescents involved in the child welfare system: A latent profile analysis
Child welfare-involved youth experience elevated rates of psychological maladjustment. Few studies have examined whether there are latent subgroups of youth who experience similar patterns of psychological adjustment. To advance understanding of the promotion of adjustment among this marginalized population, the current study addressed this gap by conducting a latent profile analysis of psychological symptoms. Once the identified latent profiles …
The Link between Family Violence and Animal Cruelty: A Scoping Review
There is some evidence that family violence (intimate partner violence, child maltreatment, elder abuse) co-occurs with animal cruelty (i.e., threats to and/or actual harm of an animal), which is often referred to as “the link.” The aim of this scoping review was to comprehensively search the literature to determine the extent of empirical evidence that supports the co-occurrence of family violence and animal cruelty and that provides prevalence …
Transgender and gender expansive emerging adults: The moderating role of thwarted belongingness on mental health
Transgender and gender expansive emerging adults experience multiple forms of gender minority stress, which affect their mental health and wellbeing. Belongingness has been identified as a factor that fosters resilience among this population, with potential protective effects. Few studies have explored the role of thwarted belongingness and its potential moderating effect on the relation between gender minority stress and mental health. This stud…
Relations between interpersonal microaggressions, depressive symptoms, and pet attachment in an LGBTQ + emerging adult sample
Exposure to microaggressions can have detrimental impacts on the mental health of LGBTQ+ emerging adults. Positive social relationships are a well-documented protective factor that help to buffer the impact of adversity on mental health in this population. However, the role of social relationships with pets has received minimal attention in research on LGBTQ+ mental health, despite the high prevalence of pets in U.S. households. This cross-sectio…
Relations Between Sexual and Gender Minority Stress, Personal Hardiness, and Psychological Stress in Emerging Adulthood: Examining Indirect Effects via Human-animal Interaction
This study examines the role of human-animal interaction (HAI) in relations between sexual and gender minority (SGM) stress, personal hardiness, and psychological stress during emerging adulthood. Data for the current sample reflect 136 SGM emerging adults between the ages of 18 to 21 years who reported living with a companion animal in the past year (37.5% racial/ethnic minority, 49.2% transgender or gender -expansive, 98.5% sexual minority). Me…
Psychometric Evaluation of the Comfort from Companion Animals Scale in a Sexual and Gender Minority Sample
Human-animal interaction research is growing in popularity and methodological rigor; however, there remains a need for psychometrically validated measures and inclusion of broader populations. This study addressed these gaps by reporting on the psychometric properties of the Comfort from Companion Animals Scale (CCAS) in a sample of sexual and gender minority emerging adults. Participants included 138 emerging adults between the ages of 18-21 yea…
He was like, my ride or die”: Sexual and Gender Minority Emerging Adults’ Perspectives on Living With Pets During the Transition to Adulthood
This qualitative study explores the benefits and risks associated with living with companion animals during the transition to adulthood among 117 sexual and gender minority (SGM) emerging adults living in the U.S. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using template analysis. Thematic analysis identified several risks (caregiver burden, pets as barriers to relationships, animal-related psychological stress) and benefits (pets as a buffer to st…
Relationships Between Emotional Comfort From Companion Animals and Victimization and Psychological Well-Being Among Sexual and Gender Minority Emerging Adults
Objective: The current study evaluates whether, and to what extent, the association between gender-based victimization and well-being among sexual and gender minority emerging adults varies as a function of emotional support from companion animals. Method: Data were collected from young people ages 18–21 years who self-identified as a sexual and/or gender minority (N = 134; 37.3% ethnic/racial minority; 49.2% gender minority; 98.5% sexual minorit…
The role of thwarted belongingness on the relationship between microaggressions and mental health for LGBTQ+ emerging adults
This study investigated thwarted belongingness as a moderator of the relationship between microaggressions and mental health among LGBTQ+ emerging adults. Using data collected from 186 LGBTQ+ emerging adults, we conducted separate moderation analyses to examine whether, and to what extent, the relation between microaggressions and mental health (i.e. anxiety and depressive symptoms) is moderated by thwarted belongingness. Interpersonal and enviro…
