  • Hearts in Action

    Open AccessDulce J Jiménez, Alexandra Olin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    Introduction: Precarious low-wage work, marked by instability, limited protections, and high occupational risk, disproportionately affects Latine immigrant workers, contributing to chronic stress, poor health, and cardiovascular risk. In Arizona, sectors such as agriculture, hospitality, and domestic services expose workers to compounded work- and non-work-related stressors, amplified by right-to-work laws and anti-immigrant policies. Methods: , …

  • Self-reported head trauma among Native Americans who inject methamphetamine

    Open AccessMonica R Lininger, Mike Anastario et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health concern, with disparities in prevalence and care access among Native Americans. The syndemic relationship between substance use and TBI remains underexplored in Native Americans who inject methamphetamine, a population at high risk for both conditions. This study examines the association between self-reported TBI and substance use patterns in a sample of Native Americans wh…

  • Rapid Agrichemical Inventory via Video Documentation and Large Language Model Identification

    Open AccessMike Anastario, Cynthia Armendáriz-Arnez et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    This rapid identification method builds upon behavioral methods of exposure assessment, facilitating initial data collection in contexts where researcher access to hazardous materials may be time limited and would benefit from the efficiency and cross-validation offered by this method. Further refinement of this LLM-assisted approach could optimize accuracy in the identification of agrichemical products and expand its application to complement ex…

  • Caregiver-Youth Communication Patterns and Sexual and Reproductive Health Among American Indian Youth

    Open AccessJ Thiele, Olivia Williamson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant and Minority…2024

    Improving communication between American Indian caregivers and their youth has been suggested as an Indigenous-forward strategy to help alleviate the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) disparities faced by American Indian youth as a result of the legacy of colonial violence against American Indian communities. Studies with non-American Indian and American Indian populations suggest that effective communication about SRH between parents and yout…

  • Baseline results from NenŨnkUmbi/EdaHiYedo

    Open AccessE Rink, Mike Anastario et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2023

    We report on baseline findings from NenUnkUmbi/EdaHiYedo , a community based participatory research randomized controlled trial with American Indian adolescents to reduce sexual and reproductive health disparities. American Indian adolescents aged 13−19 years participated in a baseline survey that was administered in five schools. We used zero‐inflated negative binomial regression to evaluate how the count of protected sexual acts was associated …

  • Rationale, Design, and Methods for Nen Unkumbi/Edahiyedo (“We Are Here Now”)

    Open AccessE Rink, Paula Firemoon et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    American Indian (AI) youth in the United States experience disproportionate sexual and reproductive health (SRH) disparities relative to their non-Indigenous, white counterparts, including increased rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), earlier sexual debut, increased rates of teen birth, and reduced access to SRH services. Past research shows that to improve SRH outcomes for AI youth in reservation communities, interventions must addr…

  • Retrospective Assessment of Human–Chemical Interactions in Health-Disparity Populations

    Open AccessMike Anastario, Olivia Ceavers et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Life-history calendars (LHCs) can produce retrospective data regarding numerous events, exposures, and sequences that have occurred across participants' lifespans. In this mixed-quantitative-and-qualitative-methods study, processes of LHC administration were evaluated in two populations experiencing health disparities: foreign-born agricultural workers (n = 41) and Indigenous people who used injection drugs (IPWIDS) (n = 40). LHC administrator an…

  • Multiyear, Multisectoral Training Program in Kenya to Enhance Medical–Legal Processes in Response to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence

    Open AccessSalma Albezreh, Mike Anastario et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2022Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) leads to severe sequelae for individuals and communities. Lack of cross-sector coordination inhibits effective medical-legal support and justice for survivors. Multisectoral trainings for health, legal, and law enforcement professionals on survivor-centered SGBV care were conducted in Kenya during 2012-2018. Evaluation utilized objective structured clinical examinations, standardized patients, knowledge ass…

  • Indigenous standpoint theory as a theoretical framework for decolonizing social science health research with American Indian communities

    Open AccessG R Cox, Paula Firemoon et al.ARTICLEAlterNative An International…2021

    Theoretical frameworks rooted in Western knowledge claims utilized for public health research in the social sciences are not inclusive of American Indian communities. Developed by Indigenous researchers, Indigenous standpoint theory builds from and moves beyond Western theoretical frameworks. We argue that using Indigenous standpoint theory in partnership with American Indian communities works to decolonize research related to American Indian hea…

  • Narrative frames as choice over structure of American Indian sexual and reproductive health consequences of historical trauma

    Open AccessG R Cox, Mike Anastario et al.ARTICLESociology of Health & Illness2021Citada por: 2Referências: 14

    Emerging evidence suggests that the historical trauma associated with settler colonialism affects the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of American Indian (AI) communities today. This article examines how one AI community narratively frames the influence of historical trauma within the context of community‐based participatory research (CBPR) and the implications of this framing for health behaviours, internalized oppression, SRH outcomes, and …

  • Genitourinary Systems Entangled with Shifting Environments in a Salvadoran Subsistence Farming Community

    Open AccessMike Anastario, Miguel Geovanny Arias Rodas et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly2021Citada por: 1Referências: 40

    Diseases of the genitourinary system are the leading cause of hospital deaths in El Salvador, and chronic kidney disease of unknown origin has been gaining attention as a public health problem among farmers in particular. Epidemiological studies point, in part, to environmental risk factors, which have shifted over time with the deployment of modern agricultural science and ongoing climate change. We examined how diseases of the genitourinary sys…
