Religious beliefs and practices, political orientation, and distrust in healthcare predict attitudes toward mRNA vaccines in the United States
Religion has contributed to societal divides regarding COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. In this study, we conducted a secondary analysis of a survey of U.S. adults ( N = 4939) focused on how religious affiliations, beliefs, and practices impact attitudes toward genetic and genomic activities, one of which was mRNA vaccines. The dataset included large samples of participants from six religious groups in the U.S. (Black Protestant, Catholic, Evangelical Pro…
The development of the Christian Views of Suffering Scale
Traumatic brain injury among unhoused individuals
Within unhoused populations, TBI has been associated with physical and mental health problems, substance use problems, increased involvement in the criminal legal system, and younger age of first experiencing homelessness. The purpose of this study was to expand on previous research by examining impacts of TBI among unhoused individuals. The sample consisted of 114 unhoused or precariously housed individuals in two cities in Colorado. Participant…
Mixed-Methods Needs Assessment of Mental Health Among Asian American Christians
Despite the growing recognition of mental health concerns within Asian American populations, significant barriers exist in accessing and receiving adequate mental health care. This study seeks to examine the current mental health needs of Asian/Asian American (AAA) Christians to promote future efforts in addressing the mental health treatment gap. Participants ( N = 98) who identified as AAA Christians living in Los Angeles and Orange Counties we…
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Religious Coping, and Congregational Support among Black Clergy and Religious Leaders
Limited studies have empirically investigated the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among Black clergy and religious leaders despite their status as helping professionals who are implicated in times of crisis. In light of cultural considerations that position African American churches as trusted institutions linking local communities of color with various social services, African American religious leaders are particularly implicated…
Integrating Autoethnography and Dynamic P-Technique
Structural equation modeling and autoethnography have rarely been integrated in scientific studies. The example employs a convergent intensive longitudinal data collection strategy and an explanatory bidirectional framework for data merging analysis to examine one instructor’s practices of incorporating social-emotional learning (SEL) and mindfulness to reduce burnout. By examining results from the dynamic p-technique (a special case of structura…
Experiential Avoidance Mediates the Relationship between Prayer Type and Mental Health before and through the Covid-19 Pandemic
The practice of prayer has been shown to predict various mental health outcomes, with different types of prayer accounting for different outcomes. Considering the numerous stressors facing seminary students, which have only intensified throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, prayer may be a common coping strategy for students who study theology, spiritual growth, and leadership. The present study investigates the role that different types of prayer may…
Measuring Romantic Competence in Young Adults
This article presents psychometric data for a 35-item self-report instrument measuring romantic relationship competence in two separate samples of young adult college students. In study 1 (N = 219), results from Parallel Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) suggested the extraction of seven domains of romantic relationship competence: relationship locus of control, perspective taking, intimacy avoidance, emotion regulation, romantic app…
A novel dissemination effort for prolonged exposure
Results suggested that this sequential four-part curriculum may be an effective way of combining education, training, and dissemination efforts. Future research should examine if similar results can be achieved with a controlled research design and whether outcomes would generalize to actual PE delivery skills in routine clinical care.

Depression, Anxiety, and Stress
The 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21) is a self-report measure that is easy to administer, quick to score, and is freely available. Widely used in diverse settings and populations, confirmatory factor analytic evidence has accumulated for a bifactor model underlying this multidimensional measure. Studies employing an exploratory bifactor approach to more closely examine its underlying structure and inter-relations of factor…
Views on Depression From Traditional Healing and Psychiatry Clinics in Uganda
In Uganda, depression is a growing concern, yet mental health professionals are in short supply, and help is often sought from traditional healers. To develop an integrated system of care, we must understand sociocultural aspects of depression including beliefs about help seeking and treatment. In a mixed methods study, we used semi-structured interviews and self-report measures to assess depressed patients ( N = 30) seeking treatment in traditio…
Searching for a Screener
Although mental health program development and service delivery have progressed in Malaysia since its independence in 1957, a shortage of mental health professionals remains a main barrier to mental health care ( Haque, 2005 ). Stigma and cultural beliefs about mental illness may further impede psychological help-seeking. An easy-to-use mental health screener such as the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) could be used to streamline me…
