  • Immigration-Related Sociopolitical Stress, Mental Health, and Tobacco Use Among Mexican American College Students

    Open AccessJ Schwartz, C Nathan Marti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant and Minority…2026

    Sociopolitical stress associated with the policies and rhetoric coming from recent U.S. presidential administrations is of particular concern vis-à-vis Hispanic individuals, who have been disproportionately targeted for detention and deportation. Such stress may be associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety, and ultimately with tobacco use. However, there is a paucity of research examining how sociopolitical stress is associated with ment…

    Srishty Arora, Caroline North et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2026

    BACKGROUND: Factors contributing to cannabis initiation among Hispanic young adults remain understudied. METHODS: We examined the independent and interactive roles of depressive symptoms, family cohesion, and family conflict on cannabis initiation one year later among 616 18-29-year-old cannabis-naïve Mexican American college students in Texas. RESULTS: Mixed-effects logistic regressions indicated that greater depressive symptoms predicted cannab…

  • Daily Associations Between Social Media Exposure and E-Cigarette Use Among Mexican American College Students

    Emily T Hébert, Bara S Bataineh et al.ARTICLESubstance Use & Misuse2026

    INTRODUCTION: Vaping-related content is prevalent on social media, including industry-sponsored advertising and user-generated content that normalizes use. While previous research suggests a link between social media exposure and vaping, this relationship remains understudied among vulnerable populations like Mexican Americans. This study examined the relationship between daily social media exposure and vaping among Mexican American young adults.…

  • Possible and Probable Dementia and Depressive/Anxiety Symptoms

    Open AccessNamkee G Choi, Yuanjin Zhou et al.ARTICLEResearch on Aging2026

    Using a nationally representative sample of older adults (age 65+, N = 7,547) and a path model, we examined the direct effects of dementia on social engagement, loneliness, and depressive/anxiety symptoms, and the mediation effects of loneliness and social engagement on the associations between dementia and depressive/anxiety symptoms. Of the study population, 7.7% and 5.5% had possible and probable dementia, respectively; 14.3% and 21.9% of thos…

  • Mother–Infant Physiological Coregulation Is Associated With Infant Developmental Status Among Families With Experienced Adversity

    Open AccessSamantha M Brown, Erika Lunkenheimer et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2026Referências: 81

    Mother–infant physiological coregulation may vary by the infants’ developmental needs. We examined whether infant developmental status was associated with dynamic trajectories of mother–infant respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) coregulation. Fifty‐three US mothers and infants oversampled for lower income, higher stress, and child maltreatment risk completed a double Face‐to‐Face Still‐Face (FFSF) paradigm, alternating between play and stress cond…

    Open AccessNamkee G Choi, Bryan Y Choi et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background and aims: After a slight decline in suicide rates during the COVID-19 pandemic, suicide rates and suicide attempts in the U.S. have been increasing again in 2022 and 2023.

  • Performing Arts Attendance

    Francie Ostrower, C Nathan MartiARTICLEThe Journal of Arts Management…2025

    A small but intriguing literature explores the significance of geographical distance for attendance at arts and cultural institutions. This research turns attention from a longstanding emphasis on the impact of individuals’ attributes, to also address issues of accessibility. This article furthers the research in two major ways: First, prior literature mostly focuses on European arts organizations, and here we examine the American context. Second…

Of U.S. adults, 18.1% had any past-year SUD (alcohol use disorder [AUD] and/or any drug use disorder [DUD]), 14.4% of those with SUD received SUD treatment in the past year, and 5.5% of those who did not receive treatment had …

  • DSM-5 Criteria for Alcohol and Cannabis Use Disorders

    Open AccessNamkee G Choi, Jack Morris et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    With increasing substance misuse among older adults, we examined the question of whether older adults may be less likely to endorse certain DSM-5 criteria for alcohol and cannabis use disorders (AUD and CUD). We used the 2021-2023 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health ( N = 17,494 for AUD and N = 12,264 for CUD) and descriptive statistics to compare the 65+ and under 65 age groups in their endorsements of 11 DSM-5 criteria.

    Open AccessNamkee G Choi, C Nathan Marti et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024

    Despite the high prevalence of alcohol use and binge drinking among older adults, little research has been conducted on the association between their alcohol risk perception and alcohol use patterns. Using data on past-year alcohol users aged 50 and older (N = 6693) in the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, we examined the (1) associations between risk perception of binge alcohol use 1-2 times a week and alcohol use frequency, binge use…

  • Job loss, financial strain, and housing problems as suicide precipitants

    Open AccessNamkee G Choi, C Nathan Marti et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2022

    Previous research has shown that job loss, financial strain, and/or loss of housing (JFH) in midlife elevate suicide risk. In this study based on the 2017-2019 National Violent Death Reporting System, we examined other suicide precipitants and contributors of decedents whose suicide was in part precipitated by JFH and the circumstances under which they died. First, we examined all adult decedents (N = 94,454; 74,042 males [78.4%] and 20,412 femal…

  • Suicidal intent disclosure among adult suicide decedents

    Namkee G Choi, Bryan Y Choi et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2022Referências: 1

    Research on who does/does not disclose suicidal intent (SI) and related factors has important implications for suicide risk management. In this paper based on the 2017-2019 National Violent Death Reporting System, we compared four age groups (18-24, 25-44, 45-64, and 65+ years) of suicide decedents with respect to associations between SI disclosure and (1) suicide contributing/precipitating factors, and (2) suicide means. The results shows that t…
