Disparities in mental health symptoms among sexual and gender diverse subgroups in a national sample of college students
Mental health disparities experienced by sexual and gender diverse (SGD) young adults are well documented. Yet, few studies have examined mental health disparities between SGD subgroups. Even fewer have investigated disparities that may exist for individuals whose SGD identities are nonmonosexual (i.e., diverse sexual orientations besides gay/lesbian) or gender nonbinary, who may experience exacerbated marginalization and disparities. The present…

Rejection sensitivity as a transdiagnostic risk factor for internalizing psychopathology among gay and bisexual men
Gay and bisexual men are at increased risk for mood and anxiety (internalizing) disorders relative to heterosexual men. Rejection sensitivity (RS), or the anxious expectation of rejection, is associated with depression and social anxiety symptoms among lesbians and gay men as well as generalized anxiety symptoms among sexual minority women. However, it remains unclear if it is associated with other internalizing symptoms, such as panic and posttr…
Comparison of the Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression among Older Versus Younger Veterans
CBT-D resulted in significant improvements in depression and quality of life among older patients. Outcomes and rate of attrition were equivalent to younger patients. Findings indicate that CBT-D is an effective and acceptable treatment for older veterans in real-world settings with often high levels of depression
Prevention
Eating disorders (EDs) are important and common problems among adolescents and young women, and preventing them would be an important public health achievement. Fortunately, several recent studies, informed by cross-sectional, longitudinal, and clinical risk factor research, have evidenced a significant decrease in ED risk factors, with two programs also achieving a significant reduction in ED onset within at-risk females. The present chapter rev…
Smoking Behavior Postmyocardial Infarction Among ENRICHD Trial Participants
INTRODUCTION: Patients with cardiovascular disease who stop smoking lower their risk of subsequent morbidity and mortality. However, patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction (MI) are more likely to be depressed than the general population, which may make smoking cessation more difficult. Poor social support may also make smoking cessation more difficult for some patients. This study examines the effect of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT…
The Reliability of Self-Reported Menarcheal Timing
Self-reports of grade at first menstrual period for 1,967 fourth-grade through ninth-grade girls were used to categorize girls as early maturers. The categories of early maturer and other (on-time or late maturers) were then examined for stability over a 3-year period using McNemar tests and κ coefficients. Although the results showed significant stability, 15% through 20% of the early maturing girls were eventually reclassified into the other ca…
Psychophysiological and Cortisol Responses to Psychological Stress in Depressed and Nondepressed Older Men and Women With Elevated Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare psychophysiological and cortisol reactions to psychological stress in older depressed and nondepressed patients at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: Forty-eight depressed participants and 20 controls with elevated cardiovascular risk factors underwent a psychological stress test during which cardiovascular variables were measured. Salivary cortisol was collected after each test s…

Perceived self-efficacy in coping with cognitive stressors and opioid activation
This experiment tested the hypothesis that perceived self-inefficacy in exercising control over cognitive stressors activates endogenous opioid systems. Subjects performed mathematical operations under conditions in which they could exercise full control over the cognitive task demands or in which the cognitive demands strained or exceeded their cognitive capabilities. Subjects with induced high perceived self-efficacy exhibited little stress, wh…
Depressive symptoms and substance use among adolescent binge eaters and purgers
We surveyed 646 tenth grade females in Northern California to assess the prevalence of binge eating and purging behaviors. Of these, 10.3 per cent met study criteria for bulimia and an additional 10.4 per cent reported purging behaviors for weight control. Bulimics and purgers were heavier, had greater triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses, and reported higher rates of drunkenness, marijuana use, cigarette use, and greater levels of depres…

Heart-Rate Changes in Improved Spider-Phobic Patients
Two spider-phobic patients were treated with a participant-modeling therapeutic approach. Continuous ambulatory heart rates were measured before and after treatment on a spider course laid out so that subjects encountered a variety of spider-related stimuli and environs. Heart rates were also measured during treatment. Despite behavioral improvement pre- to post-treatment for both subjects, the two subjects' heart rates exhibited opposite effects…
Effects of Relaxation Therapy on Cardiac Performance and Sympathetic Activity in Patients with Organic Heart Disease
Six patients, with surgically implanted tantalum myocardial markers, were trained in deep muscle relaxation therapy. Analysis of individual responses and group means of blood pressure and ventricular dimensions during relaxation showed a decrease in plasma norepinephrine levels and indices of myocardial contractility compared to the control state. Heart rate changes in individuals during relaxation were directly correlated with changes in plasma …
Expectation and the Blood-Pressure-Lowering Effects of Relaxation
In a study of the blood-pressure-lowering effects of relaxation training in patients with essential hypertension, instructions concerning the relaxation procedure were varied so that one group was told to expect delayed blood-pressure-lowering and the other group immediate lowering. The systolic blood pressure decrease during the training period in the immediate lowering group was 17.0 mm Hg, compared with 2.4 mm Hg for the delayed group (p = 0.0…
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine Responses in Continuously Collected Human Plasma to a Series of Stressors
The present study employed continuous blood withdrawal to examine epinephrine and norepinephrine responses to a cognitive stressor (mental arithmetic), active physical stressors (handgrip and knee bends), passive painful stressors (venipuncture and cold pressor), and a medical procedure that was considered nonstressful (blood pressure measurements). The data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and by time series analysis. The ANOVA indi…
