"Do Administrative Burdens Discourage Participation in WIC?" Experiences of Immigrant Mothers in Missouri
Little is known about the administrative burden faced by immigrant mothers when accessing the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and how these vary by WIC participation status. Using focus group data from immigrant current participants (n = 25), prior participants (n = 16), and eligible non-participants (n = 13), we find that learning costs primarily hinder participation for non-participants. In contrast…
Endorsing family interdependence rather than “emancipation”
Healthy Food and Nutrition Offerings at Midwestern Food Pantries
Food pantries differ in terms of their commitment to, capacity for, and practices in support of healthy eating options and nutrition programming for food pantry users. We assess these differences in a sample of 476 food pantries in the Midwestern United States. Using survey data collected in 2021 from food pantry directors, we find high support for offering healthy food options at pantries, although there are some pantry infrastructure and staff …
I'd Like Something Better for Them”
Migration to the United States (US) for work can be seen as a family financial strategy to maximize human resources and income. However, adolescents may value migration as a “life changer” for their family's future. This qualitative study explored male Latino migrant adolescents' views about their siblings and future children following in their footsteps as migrant farmworkers in the US A total of 20 migrant adolescents in agriculture (aged 15–20…
Challenges and barriers to WIC participation vary by participation status and language
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is one of the largest federal food and nutrition program serving women and young children and has a low coverage rate of about 50 percent. There is no peer-reviewed article that compares maternal perceptions of challenges and barriers to WIC participation by language and participation status. We compare challenges and barriers faced by English-speaking mothers to th…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on U.S. Latinx mental health
2,300). Because Latinx are a heterogeneous group, we employed a person-centered approach to evaluate potential differences across negative COVID-19 pandemic impact indicators using the Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory (Grasso et al., 2020). Additionally, we assessed how these unique profiles were associated with anxiety/depression and alcohol use. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses suggested a six-factor oblique solution for the Epidemic-Pa…
Food Insecurity, Covid-19 Infection, Discrimination, Critical Consciousness, and Depression Among AfroLatinxs in the US
This study explored the association between food insecurity, COVID-19 infection, and depression symptoms among 146 AfroLatinx adults in the US. In addition, this study examined whether discrimination mediated and whether critical consciousness moderated these associations. We tested two mediation models using PROCESS to explore the associations between food insecurity, COVID-19 infection, discrimination, and depression symptoms. Follow-up analyse…
Lessons from the Field
Latinx young adults' retrospective sibling caregiving
The current research used reports among 350 Latinx young adults (60.3% male) between 18 and 21 years (Mage = 20.18, SD = 1.02). Using the cultural transmission model (Carlo & de Guzman, Handbook of U.S. Latino psychology. Sage Publications, Inc., 2009), the goal of the current study was to investigate the associations that sibling caregiving during adolescence, measured retrospectively, may have on ethnic identity resolution (EIR), and in turn, d…
Alcohol misuse during the Covid-19 pandemic
Overall, the present study provides an important contribution to the extant research literature by demonstrating the importance of considering syndemic effects of COVID-19 when addressing health behaviors for Latinx women. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Examining Covid-19 pandemic-related economic and household stress and its association with mental health, alcohol, and substance use in a national sample of Latinx sexual minority and heterosexual adu…
Findings highlighted unique intersectional considerations among SML adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the importance of social support and the negative toll of economic stress on mental health and substance use. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
The citizenship shield
A framework termed “the citizenship shield” is introduced to conceptualize how legal protections buffer against negative health outcomes among Latinx immigrants in the United States. In this study, we tested the citizenship shield framework in the context of the disproportionate impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on Latinx immigrants. We investigated the connection between immigration status, discrimination, food insecurity, and negative health outc…

Parenting, Pesticides and Adolescent Psychological Adjustment
Pesticides used to control insects, such as pyrethroids, are neurotoxicants, yet adolescent researchers often overlook their potential role in adolescent psychological adjustment. This brief report is guided by bioecological theory and considers the possible independent and interactive effects of environmental pyrethroid pesticide exposure for adolescent depressive symptoms. Self-reported adolescent appraisals of the parent-child relationship and…
Covid-19 stressors, ethnic discrimination, Covid-19 fears, and mental health among Latinx college students
The effects of discrimination and psychological distress on U.S. Latino/a young adults’ relational uncertainty and relationship instability
Overall results suggest that racial/ethnic discrimination is associated with romantic relationship instability through its associations with psychological distress and uncertainty about the future of a relationship. Prior research demonstrates the resilience of Latino/a communities, and our findings reinforce the need for policies and clinical resources that reduce discrimination and support mental health and relationships. (PsycInfo Database Rec…
Familism values embedded in U.S. Mexican mother-child conversations about sibling conflicts
The current study focused on familism-related content that emerged in a primarily qualitative analysis of U.S. Mexican mother-child conversations about sibling conflicts ( M age = 10.55; English = 43 (24 female); Spanish = 43 (19 female)). The study’s goals were to (1) describe how familism, a central Latinx value, is conveyed to children in late middle childhood, (2) uncover signs that children at this age actively or passively accept or reject …
Mexican-Origin College Students' Stress, Sibling Relationships, Academic Motivation, and Depressive Symptoms
The current study investigated associations among interpersonal, academic, financial, and ethnicity-related stressors and college students' academic motivation and depressive symptoms, as well as the moderating role of positive sibling relationships on these associations. Participants included 171 Mexican-origin college students (80.7% female; M = 21.6 years). Data were collected using an online survey and analyzed with path analysis. Under condi…
Work, Stressors, and Psychosocial Adjustment of Undocumented Guatemalan Adolescents in United States Agriculture
This research focused on undocumented male Guatemalan migrant adolescents' experiences and stressors in United States agriculture. Study 1 applied a phenomenological method to explore work-life experiences of Guatemalan minors (n = 10) aged 15-17 (M age = 16.4). Findings highlighted three themes (1) "Just keep pushing forward," (2) "It feels ugly but that's life," and (3) "I have to do everything on my own." Using a separate sample, Study 2 exami…
Latino/a young adults' experiences of acculturative stress, depressive symptoms, and romantic relationship commitment
We examined the direct and indirect effects of acculturative stress via depressive symptoms on romantic relationship commitment, and the moderating role of ethnic identity (EI) in these associations. Participants included 475 Latino/a young adults (61% women; M age = 25 years). Using conditional process modeling, we found that Latino/a young adults experiencing acculturative stress displayed greater depressive symptoms, which in turn, resulted in…
“A Dream Deferred”
The American Dream (TAD) is an ideological symbol of achievement and success in American culture. Historical barriers to equal opportunities and economic attainment through racial discrimination have limited access to TAD for African Americans. Barriers of discrimination also reduce the perception of one’s life satisfaction, which can further affect the beliefs of ever obtaining TAD. The present research evaluated the effects of discrimination an…
Helicopter Parenting and Young Adults’ Well-Being
Helicopter parenting, defined as a form of overinvolved parenting of young adult children, is shown to be associated with young adult children’s well-being. Furthermore, the phenomenon of helicopter parenting is increasingly evident across various cultures. In this study, the association between helicopter parenting and young adult children’s well-being problems was examined, and the associations were compared between samples of American and Finn…
Household Food Security Discordance Among Latino Adolescents and Parents
Discordant reports of Latino household food security suggest the burden of unequal access to sufficient foods may be underestimated. Discordant reports may follow from cultural values that may encourage adolescents to keep hunger from their parents
