Social Media Influencers and Mental Health Messaging
Although health messaging by social media influencers (SMIs) may have positive effects such as promoting awareness and decreasing stigma, concerns have been raised that influencer narratives may lack comprehensive or balanced information and may evidence a disconnect with accepted clinical guidelines, especially when it comes to mental health. The purpose of this scoping review was to describe the state of research on both content of and audience…
Does Resilience Mediate the Relationship Between Negative Self-Image and Psychological Distress in Middle-Aged and Older Gay and Bisexual Men
Aging gay and bisexual men may have negative self-image s due to body image dissatisfaction and internalized ageism, resulting in psychological distress. Gay and bisexual men with HIV may be at greater risk for distress because of research linking HIV to accelerated aging. We examined associations between self-image and psychological distress, and potential mediating effects ( resilience, fitness engagement ) , and whether these relationships wer…
Trauma Across the Life Span and Multisystem Morbidity in Women With HIV
OBJECTIVE: Sexual and physical abuse are highly prevalent among women living with HIV (WLWH) and are risk factors for the development of mental health and substance use disorders (MHDs, SUDs), and cognitive and medical comorbidities. We examined empirically derived patterns of trauma, MHD, and SUD, and associations with later cognitive and health outcomes. METHODS: A total of 1027 WLWH (average age = 48.6 years) in the Women's Interagency HIV Stu…
Navigating legality
As ‘legal’ immigrants, Mexicans with U.S. lawful permanent resident status have the rare opportunity to petition for immigrant visas for certain eligible family members. This article draws on multi-sited ethnographic research carried out over six years in Guanajuato, Mexico and Connecticut, United States, to examine the experiences of transnational mixed-status families with access to the U.S family-based immigration system. For some families, le…
Beyond the agricultural “suffering slot
Ethnographic research on Connecticut farms reveals that workers in the agricultural sector experience a wide range of working and living conditions. While legal precarity, poverty, and oppressive social dynamics confine all farmworkers to positions of structural vulnerability, some acquire a kind of “structural agency” that enables them to exert influence over their conditions of work in ways that are meaningful to their everyday experiences. Sev…
Psychological Connection to the Gay Community and Negative Self-Appraisals in Middle-Aged and Older Men Who Have Sex With Men
Connection to the gay community may be a source of resilience for aging MSM by lessening negative self-appraisals and promoting strategies that address body image dissatisfaction and self-perceptions of aging. Interventions facilitating connections to the gay community may support healthy aging in this population
Judging Extreme Hardship”
A key element in teaching the anthropology of im/migration is fostering critical analysis of the discursive frames used in conversations about im/migrants. In this article I describe an in-class activity I use to foster critical thinking about discursive frames on im/migration—specifically those which are embedded into U.S. immigration law. Students are asked to play the role of an immigration judge deciding on a de-identified version of an actua…
Prevalence, Comorbidity, and Correlates of Psychiatric and Substance Use Disorders and Associations with HIV Risk Behaviors in a Multisite Cohort of Women Living with HIV

An analysis of the definitions and elements of recovery
As mental health recovery gains traction, many people have put forward varying definitions. Few attempts have been made to create a dimensional analysis of the recovery literature that assesses the growing consensus about what recovery is or what its definition should entail. This paper incorporates an ecological framework to take the individual's life context into account while emphasizing both the reestablishment of one's mental health (i.e., f…
Family Contact and Housing Stability in a National Multi-Site Cohort of Homeless Adults with Severe Mental Illness
Longitudinal Relationships Between Use of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy and Satisfaction With Care Among Women Living With HIV/Aids
Objectives. We used longitudinal data to examine the roles of 4 dimensions of patient satisfaction as both predictors and outcomes of use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) among women in the United States with HIV/AIDS. Methods. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze time-lagged satisfaction–HAART relationships over 8 years in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study. Results. Multivariate models showed that, over time, HAAR…

This study addressed the issues of how men experienced their emotional adjustment to the death of a child from cancer, as well as how they dealt with the normative imperatives of the bereaved father role. Taking a men's studies perspective, the analysis started from the assumption that our present understanding of the parental mourning process may be shaped by a tendency to apply and operationalize concepts formulated through the study of grievin…
Self-Determination Among Mental Health Consumers/Survivors
It is well known that people with psychiatric disabilities lack self-determination in their lives. A number of studies have demonstrated the high rates of poverty experienced by many of these individuals, leading them to confront a variety of barriers to a higher quality of life. Moreover, concepts of self-determination and client control have not yet proliferated in the public mental health system. In spite of this, consumers/survivors have orga…

Positive parent/adult child relationships
Comparison of 222 parents of an adult child who had a psychiatric disability and 434 parents with a nondisabled adult child revealed that parents' positive appraisals of their relationship with the target child was significantly predicted by their perceived caregiving burden, but not by their child's psychiatric status. Implications for interventions that enhance parent/adult child relationships are discussed
