Provider Perspectives on Multi-level Barriers and Facilitators to PrEP Access Among Latinx Sexual and Gender Minorities
Attitudes Toward Immigration Detention, Community-Based Alternatives, and Mobilizing Reform
Mapping a psychosocial syndemic among methamphetamine‐using sexual minority men living with HIV
Mitigating the Violence of Mass Immigration Detention Through Community-Based Case Management
Immigration detention causes psychological, physiological, and financial harm, primarily to noncitizens of color. Following a mass release of 'lower-priority' individuals, responses to the COVID-19 pandemic provide an opportunity to envision a system more focused on freedom and pragmatism rather than retributive and ineffective notions of human warehousing and deterrence. Utilizing community-based case management (CBCM), a majority of detained no…
A Structural-Environmental Model of Alcohol and Substance-Related Sexual HIV Risk in Latino Migrant Day Laborers
Cultural and community resources protect Latino migrant day laborers from discrimination-related distress
Culturally competent community services, including cultural resources from country of origin, may help mitigate discrimination-related distress in LMDLs. However, such interventions are likely to have diminishing returns unless the structural vulnerability of LMDLs is addressed (e.g., expanding work authorization, sanctuary city ordinances). Implications for future research include developing multilevel measures of LMDL discrimination that includ…

Living Conditions and Psychological Distress in Latino Migrant Day Laborers
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between typically difficult living conditions and psychological distress in Latino migrant day laborers (LMDLs), with attention to the potentially protective roles of contact with family in country of origin (i.e., communication, sending money, etc.), availability of local culture (i.e., food, music, people from one's country of origin), and utilization of community resources perceived to …
La desesperación in Latino migrant day laborers and its role in alcohol and substance-related sexual risk
The purpose of this study was to better understand the relation between psychological distress and alcohol and substance related sexual risk in Latino migrant day laborers (LMDLs). In addition to examining the roles of depression and anxiety, it was also necessary to examine the role of desesperación , a popular Latino idiom of distress frequently expressed by LMDLs in response to the thwarting of major migration related life goals such as travel…
Qualitative Exploration of an Effective Depression Literacy Fotonovela with at Risk Latina Immigrants
While depression is prevalent among immigrant Latinas, mental health literacy is low. Culturally tailored health narratives can improve mental health literacy and are now increasingly featured in Spanish language fotonovelas (i.e., booklets in a comic book format with posed photographs and dialogue bubbles). The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore why a depression literacy fotonovela proved effective with Latina immigrants at risk for…
Skin-Color Prejudice and Within-Group Racial Discrimination
The psychological literature on colorism, a form of within-group racial discrimination, is sparse. In an effort to contribute to this understudied area and highlight its significance, a concise and selective review of the history of colorism in Latin America is provided. Specifically, three historical eras (i.e., conquest, colonization, and post-colonization) are summarized. In each era, the establishment of racial and ethnic stratification and i…

Given the limited information about this topic and population, ethnographic research employing in-depth semi-structured interviews with 51 labourers, recruited through purpo…
Entertainment–Education? A Fotonovela? A New Strategy to Improve Depression Literacy and Help‐Seeking Behaviors in At‐Risk Immigrant Latinas
Research shows high risk for depression among immigrant Latinas known to increase during the acculturation process. Several barriers such as stigma and low health literacy result in an under‐utilization of needed treatment among these women. In response, this study replicated the effectiveness of a Spanish language fotonovela , a form of Entertainment–Education (E–E), designed to increase depression literacy, decrease stigma, and increase help‐se…
Evaluating an Entertainment-Education Telenovela to Promote Workplace Safety

Alcohol Use and Problem Drinking Among Male Mexican and Central American Im/migrant Laborers
This review addresses a growing concern regarding alcohol use in adult male Latino im/migrant laborers in the United States. The review draws from alcohol studies focusing on “Hispanic” populations, and from health behavior studies of Latino im/migrant laborers, research that includes alcohol use. Specifically, this review addresses (a) alcohol consumption and drinking patterns among Mexican and Central American im/migrant laborers, and (b) healt…
Mexican Migration for Dummies
Amid the derisive, post-911 political debate about border control, national security, and “illegal aliens,” nobody, not even immigrant advocates and protesters, is articulating the macro-level, global economic root cause of undocumented labor migration to America. In simple terms, this essay describes how the contradictory policies of an open border for trade (i.e., NAFTA) and a closed border for immigration result in a predictable undocumented m…
Towards a Structural-Environmental Model of Risk for HIV and Problem Drinking in Latino Labor Migrants
The purpose of this article is to describe a researchable conceptual model of structural-environmental (SE) risk for HIV and problem drinking in Latino labor migrants (LLMs) in the United States, with an emphasis on day laborers. Implications for developing SE prevention interventions that target risky situations, embedded in stressful living and working conditions, and not simply risky behaviors are discussed. Presently, most HIV and alcohol-rel…
