Structural stressors, neurocognition in reward-related decision making and substance use risk in Puerto Rican early adolescents at two sites
Background: Structural stressors (SS) or mutually reinforcing systems that prevent groups of individuals from accessing opportunities and resources, can impact one's health. Indicators of SS include area-level group differences in income, education and exposure to violence. SS are fundamental causes of health disparities and can be indexed by area-level measures. Area-level SS may influence substance use risk in adolescents and future substance u…

Embodiment and mindful eating behavior in the context of ethnicity, race, and gender
The Developmental Theory of Embodiment describes a framework to understand eating and body image concerns as resulting from constrictive and gendered social discourses. Embodiment is posited to be associated with eating patterns that are attuned to and in a comfortable relationship with the body. One such pattern is mindful eating, a behavior that involves attunement to the sensory aspects of eating. The aims of the present study were to examine:…
Associations Between Low-Household Income and First-Generation Status With College Student Belonging, Mental Health, and Well-Being
Completing college can be difficult and students who are first-generation (FG) or low-income (LI) or both (FGLI) encounter unique structural challenges. We conducted a population-based survey (N=1671) at two interconnected highly-selective institutions of higher education and examined measures related to belonging, mental health, and well-being. Means and standard deviations for continuous measures and proportions for categorical measures were ca…
Financial Hardship, Hope, and Life Satisfaction Among Un/Underemployed Individuals With Psychiatric Diagnoses
SFH is a strong mediator of the relationship between OFH and LS in our study of unemployed and underemployed individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Hope, and particularly its agency component, further mediate a modest but significant proportion of the association between SFH and LS. Economic empowerment interventions for this population should address objective and subjective financial stressors, foster a sense of agency, and consider the divers…
Testing whether the combination of victimization and minority stressors exacerbate PTSD risks in a diverse community sample of sexual minority women
Informed by minority stress and intersectionality frameworks, we examined: 1) associations of sexual identity and race/ethnicity with probable diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD-PD) among sexual minority women (SMW; e.g., lesbian, bisexual); and 2) potential additive and interactive associations of minority stressors (discrimination, stigma consciousness, and internalized homonegativity) and potentially traumatic childhood and adul…
ADHD and risk for subsequent adverse childhood experiences
BACKGROUND: Children with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are more likely to develop Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The reverse relationship - ADHD predicting subsequent ACEs - is vastly understudied, although it may be of great relevance to underserved populations highly exposed to ACEs. METHODS: Participants were 5- to 15-year-olds (48% females) with (9.9%) and without ADHD (DSM-IV criteria except age of onset) in a longi…

This study aimed to understand situational predictors of various dimensions of students’ sexual experiences. Methods: 427 college students participated in a 60-day daily survey; 213 reported sex and were asked questions about each sexual encounter. Results: 1,664 sexual encounters were reported. 72.5% were described as very pleasurable,…
Socio-Ecologically Constituted Types of Sexual Assault
Despite the burden of sexual assault on college campuses, few effective prevention programs exist. Understanding the socio-ecological context in which sexual assaults occur may illuminate novel pathways to augment prevention. We examined data from 349 students at two inter-connected urban universities who completed a population-based survey ( N = 1,671) and described at least one incident of sexual assault victimization. Using latent class analys…
The popular and geography
In this chapter, the author discusses the relationship between geography and popular culture, with particular reference to the significance of experiential research and context to her approach to music and racialized identities in Aotearoa/New Zealand. She draws on a number of examples from her research in Aotearoa/New Zealand to highlight how this approach, by accessing racialized discourse through popular music, has provided a unique insight in…

Association of State Recreational Marijuana Laws With Adolescent Marijuana Use
Importance: Historical shifts are occurring in marijuana policy. The effect of legalizing marijuana for recreational use on rates of adolescent marijuana use is a topic of considerable debate. Objective: To examine the association between the legalization of recreational marijuana use in Washington and Colorado in 2012 and the subsequent perceived harmfulness and use of marijuana by adolescents. Design, Setting, and Participants: We used data of …
HIV Education and Welfare Services in Primary Care
Integration of health education and welfare services in primary care systems is a key strategy to solve the multiple determinants of chronic diseases, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). However, there is a scarcity of conceptual models from which to build integration strategies. We provide a model based on cross-sectional data from 168 Community Health Agents, 62 nurses, and 32 physi…

HIV practitioners in Madrid and New York improving inclusion of underrepresented populations in research
Practitioners have frequent contact with populations underrepresented in scientific research--ethnic/racial groups, sexual minorities and others at risk for poor health and whose low participation in research does not reflect their representation in the general population. Practitioners aspire to partner with researchers to conduct research that benefits underrepresented groups. However, practitioners are often overlooked as a work force that can…

Methods to Recruit Hard-to-Reach Groups
Evidence suggests rapid diffusion of injecting drug use and associated outbreaks of HIV among injecting drug users (IDUs) in the Russian Federation and Eastern Europe. There remains a need for research among non-treatment and community-recruited samples of IDUs to better estimate the dynamics of HIV transmission and to improve treatment and health services access. We compare two sampling methodologies "respondent-driven sampling" (RDS) and chain …

Counting Heads or Counting Televisions
There has been a vigorous debate about poverty measurement in Russia, where both the poverty line and poverty data have been subject to criticism. We outline some of the issues raised and discuss the use of an alternative welfare measure based on household assets. Asset indices have mostly been constructed for low-income countries, supported by two arguments: first, the asset index appears to have a number of empirical advantages in terms of data…

Complicated grief and related bereavement issues for DSM-5
Bereavement is a severe stressor that typically incites painful and debilitating symptoms of acute grief that commonly progresses to restoration of a satisfactory, if changed, life. Normally, grief does not need clinical intervention. However, sometimes acute grief can gain a foothold and become a chronic debilitating condition called complicated grief. Moreover, the stress caused by bereavement, like other stressors, can increase the likelihood …
