Patterns of Alcohol, Cannabis, and E-Cigarette Use/Co-Use and Mental Health Among U.S. College Students
Substance use and mental health are highly correlated, though few studies assess the risk for depression and anxiety associated with dual and polysubstance use among college students. The purpose of this study was to characterize the relationship between alcohol, cannabis, and e-cigarette exclusive, dual, and polysubstance use and depression and anxiety among U.S. college students by racial and ethnic subgroup and stratified by sex. Data from 83,…

Correlates of Adverse Childhood Experiences Among Children in Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic Immigrant Households in the United States
As the immigrant population in the United States increases and diversifies, the necessity of examining adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) by racial and ethnic group within the immigrant population has become apparent. This study examines patterns and structural correlates of ACEs among children in Hispanic, Non-Hispanic (NH) Black, and NH White immigrant households. The National Survey of Children's Health (2016-2023) was utilized to obtain a n…
Substance use among U.S. Black young adults
Despite similarities among foreign- and U.S.-born Black YA, exposure to these psychosocial stressors is associated with some distinct substance use patterns. These findings highlight the nuanced relationships between societal and discriminatory stressors and substance use, varying by nativity among Black YA
Diversity in adversity
This study examined racial/ethnic variations in the three domains of ACE (neglect, abuse, and household dysfunction) and its association with nicotine, cannabis, and opioid use/co-use among youth from different racial/ethnic groups. Cross-sectional data were from 2207 young adults (mean age 21.84 years). Multivariable regression analysis was used to examine the association between the three ACE domains and nicotine, cannabis, and opioid use/co-us…
Association of self-reported use of cannabis for the purpose of improving physical, mental, and sleep health with problematic cannabis use risk

Tobacco Smoke Exposure, School Engagement, School Success, and Afterschool Activity Participation Among US Children
BACKGROUND: Tobacco smoke exposure (TSE), defined as secondhand smoke (SHS) and thirdhand smoke (THS), is associated with negative health consequences. This study's objective was to assess the associations between home TSE status and school engagement, school success, and afterschool activity participation among school-aged children.

METHODS: We analyzed data from the Adolescent Health Risk Behavior Survey data for 357 high school girls using multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS: Compared to those who "never/rarely" made social comparisons, participants who…
Correlates of Resilience in Hispanic Young Adults
Research on health disparities among Hispanic/Latino populations has begun to look at resiliency as a key component to the health risk profile of Hispanics. However, there are still gaps in the research about the specific factors. This study sought to examine the relationship between factors in 4 primary domains-behavioral, psychological, social, and cultural-and resilience in Hispanic young adults. We used data from Project RED, which included 1…
Estimating the incidence of breast cancer in Africa
Health information seeking in the digital age
We live in a digital age and this has changed the landscape of health information. With the changing US demographic, otherwise acute diseases morphing into chronic diseases as a result of treatment advancements, and evolving health needs of the population, there is need for increase in available and accessible health information. It is estimated that one in three US adults use the internet to diagnose or learn about a health concern. Nevertheless…
What’s love got to do with it? Adolescent romantic networks and substance use
This study examined how romantic aspiration network characteristics at the individual level (in-degree and out-degree) are associated with substance use (i.e. smoking and drinking) among a cross-sectional sample of US adolescents (10th grade, n = 1523) from 4 high schools in Los Angeles. Findings highlighted that, with an increase in out-degree (romantic aspiration nominations made), adolescents in our sample were less likely (OR = .824, CI = .68…
