Employment as HIV Prevention
At the height of the pandemic
22) in central Texas-86.4% of whom were of Mexican origin-who participated in a culturally adapted, synchronous online parent training program during the pandemic. Most participants were mothers (21 of 22). Through thematic analysis of focus group data, four key themes were generated: (a) immigration-related experiences and parenting challenges, (b) intervention components that addressed these challenges, (c) barriers and facilitators to particip…
Promoting Parental Positive Involvement and Skill Encouragement
Parent training (PT) interventions constitute a gold standard for preventing a variety of mental health symptomatology in children and youth. Yet, there is a need to understand the best ways to deliver specific core PT components to caregivers who have experienced adverse backgrounds as children and contextual stressors that impact their parenting practices. In this review paper for clinicians and prevention interventionists, we reflect on lesson…
Building bridges through cultural adaptation
Child exposure to maltreatment and neglect constitutes a significant public health problem throughout Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. Although evidence‐based parent training (PT) interventions constitute an empirically demonstrated alternative to prevent child maltreatment and neglect, multiple implementation barriers have prevented the large‐scale dissemination of evidence‐based PT interventions across LAC countries. This selective…
Building a nest in a storm
Latina/o immigrant mothers in the United States (U.S.) often experience discrimination, which results in deleterious impacts on their parenting practices. Because of the cumulative impact of immigration‐related stress, there is a need for research aimed at identifying specific contextual stressors that have the greatest impact on Latina/o immigrant parenting. Further, given significant barriers to access mental health services, there is an urgenc…
Culturally adapting an evidence‐based parenting intervention for the Chilean context
The dissemination of evidence‐based parent training (PT) interventions remains extremely limited in Latin American countries. This is concerning when considering the high prevalence of child maltreatment associated with punitive parenting practices across countries in the region. Furthermore, efforts to disseminate PT interventions must be conducted by adhering to the core parenting components that have established effectiveness for such interven…
Gender, romantic relationships and sexual health in Mexico
A focus on promoting sexual health and preventing sexual violence remains largely unaddressed in most evidence-based parenting prevention programmes, despite the promise of success in addressing these topics after foundational parenting practices have been strengthened. The primary objective of this study was to understand how Mexican family and gender values shape the way families in Mexico City approach discussion of sexual health and violence …

This study utilized a constructivist grounded theory to examine how non-Black volunteer mentors perceived their interactions with the youth's family impacted the youth mentoring relationship. The findings highlight th…
Motivations, program support, and personal growth
From Theory to Practice
Child maltreatment is a major public health issue in the United States. In the federal fiscal year 2017, approximately 7.5 million children were referred to child welfare services (CSW) in the nation. Developmental, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems are prevalent among children referred to CWS. For those in foster care, temporary or permanent placement frequently introduces additional instability into a child’s already chaotic life, i…
Covid‐19 Interconnectedness
The COVID‐19 pandemic brings to the forefront the complex interconnected dilemmas of globalization, health equity, economic security, environmental justice, and collective trauma, severely impacting the marginalized and people of color in the United States.

Promoting Healthy Eating and Regular Physical Activity in Low-Income Families Through Family-Centered Programs
Parental Practices and Maternal Warmth as Protective Factors for Problem Behaviors in Mexican Preadolescents
Epidemiological estimates indicate that approximately 12% of children and adolescents in Mexico are in clinical ranges for psychological disorders. Low-income families in need of psychological support generally encounter understaffed and sometimes inefficient public health services and thus, families frequently constitute the primary source of support for individuals affected by mental health disorders. Empirical studies in the Mexican context ha…
Longitudinal Changes Among Latino/a Immigrant Parental Acculturation and Extra-Familial Immigration-Related Stress
Foreign-born Latino/a immigrants currently make up 12.9% of the total U.S. population. Latino/a immigrants continue to be exposed to widespread health and mental health care disparities. Scholarship focused on the needs of Latino/a immigrants continues to be characterized by multiple gaps. Latino/a immigrants and their families, particularly those with low family annual incomes, are exposed to multiple types of immigration-related stress. However…
Parenting, mental health and economic pathways to prevention of violence against children in South Africa
Scaling out evidence-based interventions outside the U.S. mainland
Global health disparities continue to widen as professional standards for effectiveness of mental health services provision become more precise and difficult to achieve across varied economic and social contexts. Within the U.S., health disparities are evident in Latinx populations. Globally, the health disparities are also evident in Latin America as compared to the U.S. and other economically affluent nations. The diversification of psychology …
Charting Directions for Research on Immigrant Children Affected by Undocumented Status
Three groups of children from Mexico and Central America are vulnerable to effects of U.S. immigration policies: (1) foreign-born children who entered the United States with undocumented immigrant parents; (2) unaccompanied children who entered the United States alone; and (3) U.S.-born citizen-children of undocumented immigrant parents. Despite the recent demographic growth of these youth, scholarship on their strengths and challenges is under-t…
The Role of Intrapersonal and Ecodevelopmental Factors in the Lives of Latino Alternative High School Youth

Objectives. Latinos with disabilities disproportionately report substance use, including binge drinking and drug use. Ecodevelopmental factors, including socioeconomic patterning of poverty, social exclusion, and post-colonial racism, have been shown to impact alcohol and drug use. However, this line of research remains underdeveloped among Latinos with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to obtain rich descriptions of the role of ecodeve…
Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence and Associated Risk Factors Among Latinos/as
This study seeks to contribute to the limited literature on intimate partner violence (IPV) with Latino populations by analyzing national estimates of prevalence of and risk factors for IPV across the three largest Latino subgroups: Cuban-Origin, Mexican-Origin, and Puerto Ricans. Results showed that foreign-born Mexicans reported the highest rates of IPV compared with foreign-born Cubans and Puerto Ricans; Latinas with higher levels of education…
