The relationship between social and cultural factors and mental health outcomes among middle‐aged and older Latino and Hispanic immigrants
The present study investigated the prevalence of exposure to traumatic events, and the relationship between trauma, acculturative stress, and protective social and cultural factors on mental health outcomes among aging Latino and Hispanic immigrants. In this cross‐sectional study, 80 middle‐aged and older (M = 54 years, SD = 7) Latino or Hispanic immigrants (51% male) living in the United States completed a series of questionnaires in Spanish. We…
Evaluating the Translation of Research Evidence Into Practice and Policy for Behavioral Health Equity
The Transdisciplinary Research, Equity and Engagement (TREE) Center for Advancing Behavioral Health partners with community leaders to translate research evidence into practice and policy for behavioral health equity. Equity-oriented research centers such as the TREE Center present evaluation challenges and, correspondingly, offer rich opportunities for enhancing understandings of both effective evaluation strategies and the multi-dimensional imp…

Social support protects against symptoms of anxiety and depression
Social support protects against perceived stress and its harmful effects on psychological well-being. College students in general are at high risk for mental health disorders, and Latinx college students face unique stressors placing them at greater risk of psychological distress. Social support may be a key construct in improving outcomes for college students; however, few studies have empirically tested whether the protective effect of social s…
Macro- and meso-level contextual influences on health care inequities among American Indian elders
Findings point to recommendations to improve the prevention and treatment of illness among American Indian elders by meeting their unique health care and insurance needs. Policies and practices must target meso and macro levels of contextual influence. Although Medicaid expansion under the ACA enables providers of essential services to elders, including the IHS, to enhance care through increased reimbursements, future policy efforts must improve …
The Underutilization of Community‐based Participatory Research in Psychology
Traditional non‐participatory research methodologies have struggled to address the needs of multicultural populations in the United States (U.S.). Community‐based participatory research (CBPR) is a research paradigm offering a unique opportunity for culturally appropriate research and improving health equity. CBPR is an equitable, strength‐based approach involving all stakeholders throughout the research process. We investigate the field of psych…

Racial/ethnic group differences and sociocultural factors associated with implicit and explicit attitudes toward undocumented Latino immigrants
In the context of recent policies aimed at deterring immigration and criminalizing undocumented Latino immigrants, we examined factors predicting implicit and explicit attitudes toward this population. We hypothesized that more positive implicit and explicit attitudes toward undocumented Latino immigrants would be displayed by Latinxs (compared to non-Hispanic Whites) and by individuals having personal connections to undocumented immigrants or a …
Ethnicity and Sexual Attitudes Affect Women’s Judgments of Sexual Victimization Risk
This study evaluated the effects of ethnicity, sexual attitudes, and sexual victimization history on women's judgments of sexual victimization risk in a set of dating and social scenarios. An ethnically diverse sample of undergraduate women ( n = 408) were asked to rate how risky the situations were in terms of having an unwanted sexual experience. American Indian women rated the situations as more risky than did non-Hispanic White or Hispanic wo…
