Adeline’s desire
Dark romance, a subgenre of romance, contains sexually explicit taboo kink plotlines that mimic gendered power dynamics. This study critically analyses the feminine and masculine voices in Haunting Adeline, a popular dark romance novel, through the lens of broader cultural and historical contexts, employing feminist debates around eroticism and pornography, scholarship around outlaw emotions and unruly desires, and affect theory. First, we analys…
Digital technology use, physical activity, and internalizing symptoms in adolescence
Adolescent social media use is increasing, raising concerns about its impact on mental health. This study aimed to (1) examine differences in adolescent digital technology interactions pre- and post-COVID−19, (2) assess associations between technology use and internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety) by gender and age, and (3)evaluate physical activity as a potential mediator of these associations. We analyzed two cross-sectional, quota-sam…
Choking on TikTok
Sexual choking is prevalent among adolescents and young adults (AYA), some of whom report having learned about this sexual practice from social media. This study reports on sexual choking related #chokekink TikTok videos collected over 2 days in 2023-2024. We analyzed 96 entertaining and/or educative videos thematically and categorically using Memetic Content Analysis. The CRAAP (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) test was applied…
Distinct and Separate Issues
Background The COVID‐19 pandemic reshaped people's healthcare experiences and access to healthcare, including abortion. In response to the COVID‐19 outbreak, some policymakers claimed that abortion is a nonessential service and should be restricted. In contrast, other policymakers contended that abortion is time‐sensitive essential healthcare, and access to it should be protected. These efforts put access to abortion into the public arena during …
Is news consumption related to abortion attitudes? An exploratory study with a nationally representative sample of US adults
The news is an efficient way to share information and plays an important role in shaping and reflecting cultural values and norms. However, research examining news consumption and abortion attitudes is limited. In this exploratory study, we analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of 886 US adults to assess whether self-reported frequency of news consumption—by news format (e.g., television, radio, newspaper, social media), news lean…
Migrant Generations and Abortion Circumstances
This study examines how Latinx migrant generation and the circumstances of abortion may be linked to attitudes toward abortion legality among a sample of U.S.-Latinx adults. Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Multiple-Indicators Multiple-Causes modeling, we found that abortion attitudes across different migrant generations are sensitive to circumstances motivating the abortion. We did not find significant differences across migrant generation…

Deep learning for topical trend discovery in online discourse about Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) interventions are increasingly prevalent on social media. These data can be mined for insights about PrEP that may not be as apparent in surveys including personal musings about PrEP and barriers/facilitators to PrEP uptake. This study explores online discourse about PrEP using an interdisciplinary public health and computational informatics approach. We collected (N = 4,020) tweets using Twitter's Application Prog…

Identifying accurate pro‐choice and pro‐life identity labels in Spanish
No singular Spanish abortion identity label encapsulates abortion beliefs; however, there are several viable options. Just as the debate remains ongoing about pro-choice and pro-life as accurate indicators of abortion beliefs in English, we must also consider that identity is more complex than binary labels in Spanish
Using a decentering framework to create English/Spanish surveys about abortion
The growth of populations for whom English is not a native language has reinforced the need for multilanguage survey data collections. This is particularly true in the study of sexual and reproductive health issues such as abortion. However, the limited number of bilingual surveys about abortion and the lack of information regarding the translation process for bilingual surveys necessitates the development of new surveys specifically attuned to l…
Applicability of a Salient Belief Elicitation to Measure Abortion Beliefs
Objectives: Salient belief elicitations (SBEs), informed by the Reasoned Action Approach (RAA), are used to identify 3 sets of beliefs - behavioral, control, and normative - that influence attitudes toward a health behavior. SBEs ask participants about their own beliefs through open-ended questions. We adapted a SBE by focusing on abortion, which is infrequently examined through SBEs; we also included a survey version that asked participants thei…
Assessing Young Adults’ Internal Feelings Related to Refusing Sexual Behavior
Young people describe refusing sexual activity as difficult or embarrassing; however, what specific internal feelings young adults associate with refusing sexual activity is unclear. We assessed the positive and negative internal feelings related to refusing different sexual behaviors using sentiment analysis. We also examined if positive and negative internal refusal feelings varied by gender and the intersection of gender and racial/ethnic iden…
Translation frameworks and questionnaire design approaches as a component of health research and practice
Topic Modeling
Objective Topic modeling (TM) refers to a group of methods for mathematically identifying latent topics in large corpora of data. Although TM shows promise as a tool for social science research, most researchers lack awareness of the tool's utility. Therefore, this article provides a brief overview of TM's logic and processes, offers a simple example, and suggests several possible uses in social sciences. Methods Using latent semantic analysis in…
The Rights of Children and Adolescents of Color in Mental Health Systems
The primary right of children and adolescents of color in mental health systems is access to culturally competent therapists and systems. In the authors' experiences, this right is easier said than done. The authors present a series of clinical cases which illustrate components of culturally competent treatment, the discrepancies between the ideal and current practices, barriers we have witnessed in treatment, and recommendations to improve care …
Clinical Issues in the Treatment of Chicano Male Gang Youth
The problem of gang violence poses a significant threat to the mental health of Chicano children. Although there has been considerable media attention given to the increase in gang violence, the mental health literature is sparse with clinical information on the assessment and treatment of Chicano gang-involved youth. The sparsity of information has been related to public apathy toward these youth, and negative and stereotypic views of these yout…
