Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health > 2019 > 21 > 6 > 1217-1223

There is limited understanding of pain and its relationship to emotional eating among Latinos as well as knowledge about potential mechanisms that may underlie their association. We explored whether anxiety sensitivity (fear of the negative consequences of anxiety) explained the relation between pain intensity and emotional eating among a sample of Latinos. Participants were 79 (87.3% female; M_age...

Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities > 2018 > 5 > 6 > 1389-1396

Latinos, one of the fastest growing populations in the United States, suffer from high rates of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS) and its clinical correlates (e.g., disability). Although research suggests the experience of pain is closely related to PTS among trauma-exposed groups, there has been little exploration of the processes that may link pain intensity to greater PTS among trauma-exposed...

Cognitive and Behavioral Practice > 2018 > 25 > 1 > 105-118

Persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) are able to live full lifespans after infection, however, rates of anxiety disorders among this population are elevated compared to national samples. Importantly, these anxiety symptoms and disorders have a negative effect on medication adherence, quality of life and other psychological disorders, such as depression. In order to reduce the impact of anxiety among...

Andres G. Viana, Daniel J. Paulus, Monica Garza, Chad Lemaire, more

Psychiatry Research > 2017 > 258 > C > 244-249

The present investigation examined the moderating role of mindful attention in the relation between rumination and posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms (i.e., re-experiencing, avoidance, arousal, and total PTSD symptoms) among trauma-exposed Latinos in a primary care medical setting. It was hypothesized that mindful attention would moderate, or lessen, the relation between rumination and all facets...

The American Journal on Addictions > 26 > 6 > 615 - 622

Background and Objectives Research suggests that Latinos experience significantly more mental health and alcohol use problems than non‐Latino whites. However, relatively little is known about the mechanisms underlying alcohol use in this population. One factor associated with excessive alcohol use in Latinos is anxiety. A potential explanatory mechanism for this relationship is emotion dysregulation,...

Michael J. Zvolensky, Daniel J. Paulus, Jafar Bakhshaie, Monica Garza, more

Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health > 2018 > 20 > 3 > 632-640

One social determinant of health construct that is reliably related to health disparities among the Latino population is subjective social status, reflecting subjective ratings of social standing. Yet, little research has explored factors that may undergird variability in subjective social status among this population or in general. Accordingly, the present investigation examined one possible etiological...

Mindfulness > 2018 > 9 > 1 > 88-97

Although primary care settings represent strategic locations to address mental health disparity among Latinos in the USA, there has been strikingly little empirical work on risk processes for anxiety/depression among this population.

Synergistic effects of pain intensity and experiential avoidance in relation to anxiety symptoms and disorders among economically disadvantaged latinos in a community-based primary care setting

Jafar Bakhshaie, Brooke Y. Kauffman, Andres G. Viana, Monica Garza, more

Journal of Anxiety Disorders > 2017 > 48 > C > 54-62

Latinos are subject to numerous health inequalities, including mental health disparity for anxiety and its disorders. In fact, there is strikingly little understanding of transdiagnostic risk factors for the onset and development of anxiety symptoms and disorders among Latinos. To build knowledge in this domain, the present investigation examined the interactive effects of experiential avoidance and...

Subjective Social Status and Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms and Disorders among Low Income Latinos in Primary Care: The Role of Emotion Dysregulation

Michael J. Zvolensky, Daniel J. Paulus, Jafar Bakhshaie, Andres G. Viana, more

Cognitive Therapy and Research > 2017 > 41 > 5 > 686-698

Accumulating evidence suggests that Latinos experience greater anxiety- and depression-related health disparities compared to non-Latino Whites. Perceived social status may help to account for these mental health disparities among Latinos, but the specific mechanisms underlying these relations are still unknown. One possible explanation for this relation is emotion dysregulation. Therefore, the present...

Andres G. Viana, Daniel J. Paulus, Jafar Bakhshaie, Monica Garza, more

General Hospital Psychiatry > 2017 > 44 > C > 30-37

Research has found that Latinos (versus non-Latino Whites) evince higher rates of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet little attention has been given to intra-individual, emotion-related processes to explicate the higher incidence of these symptoms among Latinos.Participants included 183 trauma-exposed adult Latinos (88.5% female; Mage=37.7, SD=10.7 and...

Michael J. Zvolensky, Daniel J. Paulus, Jafar Bakhshaie, Monica Garza, more

Psychiatry Research > 2016 > 243 > C > 35-42

From a public health perspective, primary care medical settings represent a strategic location to address mental health disapirty among Latinos. Yet, there is little empirical work that addresses affective vulnerability processes for mental health problems in such settings. To help address this gap in knowledge, the present investigation examined an interactive model of negative affectivity (tendency...

General Hospital Psychiatry > 2016 > 42 > C > 41-48

Although pain severity is often related to poorer mental health and is one of the most common presenting complaints in community health care settings, there is little understanding of the pain experience in relation to anxiety/depressive symptoms and disorders among Latino populations in medical contexts.To address this gap, the current study explored an interactive model of pain severity and emotion...
