Sleep-Related Concerns Mediate the Association Between Cyber-Sexual Victimization and Psychological Distress Among Diverse University Students
Experiences of cyber-sexual violence, that is, sexually aggressive behaviors committed through digital interfaces, are associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and suicidality. Several variables, including sleep, also contribute to PTSS and suicidality risk. This cross-sectional study expands what is already known about cyber-sexual violence and psychological distress by investigating associations between cyber-sexual victimization, s…
Writing Wrongs
In addition to stressors inherent to higher education, microaggressions are pervasive and result in lasting negative repercussions for minoritized students at predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Expressive writing may be a scalable intervention fit for addressing these negative repercussions due to its established efficacy in improving symptoms related to general stressful life events. As expressive writing was not designed to address microa…
Developmental differences in the impact of racial discrimination on depression and anxiety among Black youth
11.56 years; 53% female). Data were from baseline questionnaire responses from a larger longitudinal study conducted in the Southeastern United States examining the effects of interpersonal stressors on youth mental health outcomes. Racial discrimination was directly and indirectly associated with internalizing concerns through rumination. Developmental age moderated the indirect link between racial discrimination and depressive symptoms via rumi…
Younger Age in Adolescent Pregnancies Is Associated with Higher Risk of Adverse Outcomes
Adolescent pregnancy remains a health issue worldwide also in developed countries, since it has been associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Some data suggest that very young adolescents have higher risk, likely due to immaturity. Therefore, we aimed to assess the influence of maternal age on complications during gestation and labor in pregnant women between 13 and 19 years of age. In particular, we evaluated the possible associat…
Substance Use Prevention Programming for Adolescents and Young Adults
Background Although substance use problems are highly prevalent among adolescents and emerging adults, this population does not regularly receive substance use prevention programming in their communities. Low perceived risk of substance use, which is linked to actual behavior, may contribute to low rates of engagement in community prevention efforts for substance use. To examine this, the current study used a mixed methods approach to: (1) examin…
Emotion Dysregulation Predicts Dropout from Prolonged Exposure Treatment among Women Veterans with Military Sexual Trauma-Related Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Preparedness to Identify and Care for Trafficked Persons in South Carolina Hospitals
This qualitative descriptive study utilized stratified purposive sampling to investigate how prepared hospitals throughout the state of South Carolina were to identify and care for individuals experiencing human trafficking. Hospitals were invited to participate if trafficking had been reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline, in 2016, in their geographic location. Telephone interviews were conducted with Emergency Department (ED) direc…
Feasibility of Motivational Interviewing and Physical Activity Counseling Sessions for Improving Physical Activity Self-Management for Latina Women Either at Risk for or Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes…
Introduction: Latinas have a greater chance of dying from diabetes than non-Latina Whites. As a population group, the literature has shown that Latinas do not meet physical activity (PA) guidelines. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a patient-centered counseling method that promotes self-efficacy for behavior change. The purpose of the study was to examine the feasibility of using MI/PA counseling for self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus w…
Gender Disparities in Faculty Rank
While a significant portion of women within academic science are employed within medical schools, women faculty in these academic medical centers are disproportionately represented in lower faculty ranks. The medical school setting is a critical case for both understanding and advancing women in basic sciences. This study highlights the findings from focus groups conducted with women faculty across Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor ranks (…
Sociodemographic and Incident Variables as Predictors of Victim Injury From Intimate Partner Violence
Predictors of victim injury from intimate partner violence (IPV) were investigated using 1,292 police reports collected in South Carolina in 2009/2010. All cases were opposite sex adults. Results from bivariate statistics showed that IPV cases with ( n = 649) and without visible injuries ( n = 643) differed on victim gender, victim race, type of relationship, and perpetrator's alcohol use. Results from a logistic regression analysis predicting vi…
Racial/ethnic differences in trauma exposure and mental health disorders in adolescents
Trauma-related disparities may differ across internalizing and externalizing concerns. Subsequent research should continue to examine other factors that may contribute to racial/ethnic differences in trauma sequelae. (PsycINFO Database Record
Development and preliminary evaluation of a behavioural HIV-prevention programme for teenage girls of Latino descent in the USA
National data suggests that teenage girls of Latino descent in the USA are disproportionately affected by HIV with the rate of new infections being approximately 4 times higher compared to White women of comparable age (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2013). This paper highlights the need for an effective single-sex HIV prevention program for teenage girls of Latino descent and describes the development and preliminary evaluation of Ch…
Sex differences in relational and overt aggression in the late elementary school years
Sex differences in relational and overt aggression among 3rd ( n =176), 4th ( n =179), and 5th graders ( n =145) from three public schools ( n =500; 278 girls) were examined. Nominations of relational aggression increased over time among 4th and 5th grade girls, but not among boys or 3rd grade girls. Among 3rd graders, boys received more nominations for relational aggression than girls. By the end of the 5th grade, girls received more relational …
