Contextualizing Depressive Symptoms in Latino/a Adolescents With a History of Stressful Life Events
Latino/a adolescents are at greater risk of experiencing depressive symptoms than their non-Latino/a White peers, in part due to more exposure to stressful life events (SLEs). Identifying novel, non-stigmatizing factors associated with this increased risk is essential for mitigating depression-based disparities in this population. To that end, this study applied a Response Style Theory framework to examine relations among Latino/a adolescents' co…
Antiracist activism for immigrant rights and healthy coping
Racist and xenophobic policies in the United States (e.g., family separations and lack of access to protected immigration statuses for undocumented immigrants) have historically excluded immigrants of color from accessing full civil rights, thus contributing to widening racial inequities in the US. Racism and xenophobia intersected with other systems of oppression during the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposing immigrants of color to detrimental health ef…
Navigating Academic Brokering
As more psychologists engage with marginalized communities for research, the lack of diversity in the academic workforce and inadequate cultural sensitivity training often leads to relying on trainees from underrepresented communities to bridge these gaps—a phenomenon we term “academic brokering.” Academic brokering disproportionately burdens underrepresented trainees, tasking them with facilitating their mentors’ research by serving as intermedi…
Factor structure, internal consistency, and construct validity of the Caregiver strain questionnaire in Latinx families
Caregiver strain or stress directly related to caring for a youth with emotional and/or behavioral problems may be an important and understudied cultural factor associated with mental health disparities among Latinx families. Caregiver strain is a highly relevant construct for research questions focused on the identification of youth's mental health needs, family‐level impacts of youth mental health problems, and utilization of youth mental healt…
Cultural stress is toxic stress
An expanded CST model that incorporates the two highlighted frameworks can elucidate additional mechanisms by which cultural stressors influence mental health risk in Latinx immigrant youth. Such mechanistic work holds the key to effectively reducing mental health disparities for Latinx immigrant youth. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
A decolonial and liberation lens to social justice research
In the face of harmful disparities and inequities, it is crucial for researchers to critically reflect on methodologies and research practices that can dismantle systems of oppression, accommodate pluralistic realities, and facilitate opportunities for all communities to thrive. Historically, knowledge production for the sciences has followed a colonial and colonizing approach that continues to silence and decontextualize the lived experiences of…
Latina mothers’ mental health
The demands and stressors associated with motherhood can increase a mother's risk for mental health concerns. Latina mothers are particularly vulnerable to the relation between motherhood‐related stressors and maternal mental health given that they are at an increased risk for mental health concerns, that they are likely to have their mental health needs go unmet, and that traditional Latinx cultural values/gender roles emphasize women assuming t…
Anti-immigration policy and mental health
The future of DACA recipients is uncertain, which can be trauma inducing. The field of psychology needs to make space for this kind of experience as potentially traumatic. Advocacy efforts to shift immigration policies can be strengthened to alter the negative effects of the potential termination of DACA on those affected by it.

Objective: This study examined the association between transnational death and psychological distress among undocumented Mexican immigrants. The Minority Stress Model and a disenfranchised grief perspective were used as frameworks for this study. Method: Respondent driven sampling (RDS) was used to collect data from clinical interviews with 248 undocumented Mexican immigrants residing near the US-Mexico border. Results: After controlling for rele…
