Covid-19, stressors, and alcohol use among English- and Spanish-speaking adult Latinas
Cultural adaptations and cultural factors in EBI implementation with Latinx communities
Introduction: are constructs that capture important life experiences of Latinx/Hispanic individuals, families, and communities. Despite their importance for Latinx communities, Latinx cultural factors have yet to be fully incorporated into the literature of many social, behavioral science, and health service fields, including implementation science. This significant gap in the literature has limited in-depth assessments and a more complete unders…
Ethnic discrimination and self-rated health among Hispanic emerging adults
Depressive Symptoms and Resilience among Hispanic Emerging Adults
Emerging adulthood has been described as a difficult stage in life and may be particularly stressful for Hispanic emerging adults who are disproportionately exposed to adversity and chronic sociocultural stressors. To better prevent and treat depressive disorders among Hispanic emerging adults, more research is needed to identify and understand modifiable determinants that can help this population enhance their capacity to offset and recover from…

The Initial Assessment of a Community‐based Intervention With Mexican‐heritage Parents in Boosting the Effects of a Substance Use Prevention Intervention With Youth
Drawing from an ecodevelopmental framework, this article examines if adding a parenting component, Families Preparing the New Generation (Familias Preparando la Nueva Generación), to an efficacious classroom‐based drug abuse prevention intervention, keepin'it REAL, will boost the effects of the youth intervention in preventing substance use for middle school Mexican‐heritage students. Youth attending schools in a large urban area in the Southwest…

The Effects of Parental Acculturation and Parenting Practices on the Substance Use of Mexican-Heritage Adolescents from Southwestern Mexican Neighborhoods
A sample of 189 Mexican-heritage seventh grade adolescents reported their substance use, while one of the child's parents reported parent's acculturation and communication, involvement, and positive parenting with his or her child. Higher levels of parental acculturation predicted greater marijuana use, whereas parent communication predicted lower cigarette and marijuana use among girls. A significant parent acculturation by parent communication …
The Parent–child Acculturation Gap, Parental Monitoring, and Substance Use in Mexican Heritage Adolescents in Mexican Neighborhoods of the Southwest U.S
A sample of 206 Mexican‐heritage 7th‐grade adolescents attending predominantly Mexican‐heritage schools in Arizona was assessed on their linguistic acculturation, perceived parental monitoring, and substance use. One of their parents also reported on their own parental level of acculturation. While greater parental acculturation predicted greater marijuana use, the acculturation gap (child's level of acculturation over and above that of the paren…
Important Considerations in Conducting Statistical Mediation Analyses
An investigator wishes to examine mediation in a randomized control trial of the effectiveness of an intervention, which consists of a computerized decision aid for promoting colorectal cancer screening. Mediation is a naturally occurring process, and in any given instance, research investigators seek to ascertain whether it has occurred. In the case of a prevention intervention for a specific chain of events, mediation occurs (1) when the preven…
Efficacy of a Culturally Based Parenting Intervention
This article presents the results of an initial efficacy trial of a parenting intervention, Familias: Preparando la Nueva Generación ( FPNG ), used to strengthen parenting practices, specifically, open family communication. Using community-based participatory research, including stakeholder involvement, the FPNG curriculum was developed, evaluated for feasibility, and revised to complement the classroom-based keepin' itREAL youth substance-use pr…

A Critical Analysis of Approaches to the Development of Preventive Interventions for Subcultural Groups
The ultimate success of preventive interventions relies on their ability to engage and influence the growing presence of subcultural groups. To encourage and guide the development of effective preventive intervention for subcultural groups, four approaches are described, illustrated, and critiqued with respect to their considerations of cultural fit, reach, efficacy and adoption. Those approaches are (a) the prevention research cycle, (b) cultura…
Tuberculosis in Mexicans
BENJAMIN GOLDBERG, A dedicated physician working at the Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium of Chicago, Illinois, and a member of the Department of Pathology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, was a pioneer in introducing early accounts of the public health challenges imposed by a new racial “type”: Mexicans. His 1929 Journal article, excerpted here, was originally read before the American Public Health Association's Vital Statistic…
Issues and Challenges in the Design of Culturally Adapted Evidence-Based Interventions
This article examines issues and challenges in the design of cultural adaptations that are developed from an original evidence-based intervention (EBI). Recently emerging multistep frameworks or stage models are examined, as these can systematically guide the development of culturally adapted EBIs. Critical issues are also presented regarding whether and how such adaptations may be conducted, and empirical evidence is presented regarding the effe…
A Methodology for Conducting Integrative Mixed Methods Research and Data Analyses
Mixed methods research has gained visibility within the last few years, although limitations persist regarding the scientific caliber of certain mixed methods research designs and methods. The need exists for rigorous mixed methods designs that integrate various data analytic procedures for a seamless transfer of evidence across qualitative and quantitative modalities. Such designs can offer the strength of confirmatory results drawn from quantit…
Cultural Predictors of Physical and Mental Health Status among Mexican American Women
This study, using secondary data analysis, examined a mediation model of acculturation and ethnic pride as predictors of physical and mental health outcomes in a sample of 561 Mexican American women. Factors postulated as mediators were family support and religiosity. Systematic across-group comparison analyses were conducted to examine sources of differences in the mediation model between immigrant and non-immigrant women. The results partially …
A Dialogue Regarding Cultural Adaptation of Interventions
Personal and Ecological Contexts for Understanding the Health of Immigrants
Traditions and alcohol use
An integrative mixed-methods analysis examined traditional beliefs as associated with beliefs about self-care during pregnancy and with alcohol abstinence among young adult women from two rural U.S.-Mexico border communities. Quantitative (measured scale) variables and qualitative thematic variables generated from open-ended responses served as within-time predictors of these health-related outcomes. A weaker belief that life is better in big cit…
A Heuristic Framework for the Cultural Adaptation of Interventions.
What conditions justify cultural adaptations to evidence-based treatments, and how might those adaptations be developed? Lau's (2006) analysis brought considerable clarity to these questions. We place Lau's insights and those of others within an elaborated framework that proposes tests of three types of cultural equivalence to determine when evidence-based treatments might merit adaptations: equivalence of (a) engagement, (b) action theory, and (…
