Black transgender women (BTW) are subjected to transmisogynoir, as intersectional minority stress and violence that increases their risk of negative well-being. The purpose of this study was to explore themes of intersectional violence and well-being in a group of BTW in Los Angeles, California, from their perspectives. Ten participants were interviewed, and data were analyzed using consensual qualitative research. This article focused on themes around transmisogynoir and (a) mental well-being, (b) social determinants of health, and (c) help seeking. Recommendations for BTW well-being interventions and future directions to promote BTW wellness are provided.

The suicide rate among Asian American and Pacific Islander veterans has increased; however, data aggregation for these groups, combined with underinclusion in research, limits understanding regarding risk. We conducted a secondary analysis of Comparative Health Assessment Interview Research Study 2018 data to compare suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempt (SA) prevalence among 668 post-9/11 veterans who identified as Asian American, Pacific Islander, or both and described SI and SA prevalence among specific subgroups. Veterans who identified as both Asian American and Pacific Islander were more likely to report experiencing SI (lifetime and during their military service), compared to those who identified solely as Asian American or Pacific Islander (military SI only). Statistically significant differences were not detected for SI preceding or following military service or for lifetime SA. Weighted estimates for lifetime SI and SA were 24.2% and 6.5%, respectively, and prevalence varied widely among specific Asian American and Pacific Islander groups. However, small cell sizes and wide confidence intervals were limitations. Increased clinical attention to screen for and mitigate suicide risk among veterans who identify as both Asian American and Pacific Islander may be warranted. To ensure that suicide prevention strategies optimally address their needs and experiences, research is needed to elucidate suicide drivers in this population. Considering the heterogeneity in SI and SA prevalence among different Asian American and Pacific Islander groups, continued research with larger subsamples that disaggregates analyses by race and ethnicity is essential to deliver prevention and health promotion strategies targeted to the highest-risk groups.
亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民退伍军人的自杀率有所上升；然而，这些群体的数据汇总，加上未被充分纳入研究，限制了对风险的了解。我们对 "2018 年健康评估访谈比较研究 "的数据进行了二次分析，比较了 668 名 9/11 事件后退伍军人中自杀意念（SI）和自杀未遂（SA）的发生率，这些退伍军人有的被认定为亚裔美国人，有的被认定为太平洋岛民，有的则同时被认定为亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民，我们还描述了特定亚群中自杀意念和自杀未遂的发生率。与那些仅被认定为亚裔美国人或太平洋岛民的退伍军人相比，那些被认定为亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民的退伍军人更有可能报告经历过SI（终生和服兵役期间）（仅军事SI）。对于服兵役前后的 SI 或终生 SA，未发现有统计学意义的差异。终生 SI 和 SA 的加权估计值分别为 24.2% 和 6.5%，特定亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民群体之间的流行率差异很大。然而，小样本量和较宽的置信区间是研究的局限性。临床上可能需要更多关注那些同时被认定为亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民的退伍军人，以筛查和降低他们的自杀风险。为确保自杀预防策略能最有效地满足他们的需求和经历，需要开展研究来阐明这一人群的自杀动因。考虑到不同亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民群体在 SI 和 SA 发生率方面的异质性，继续对更大的子样本进行研究，并按种族和民族进行分类分析，对于提供针对高危群体的预防和健康促进策略至关重要。

Mobile health parenting interventions often do not account for inequities in parenting education and health resources for racial minority, refugee, and low-income families. We examined the feasibility of a mobile health intervention to address maternal and child wellness needs in Somali/Somali Americans from refugee families. Using a community-engaged research approach, our interdisciplinary academic team, in collaboration with Somali/Somali American community members, healthcare providers, and state, county, and local health officials, developed a culturally sensitive audio-based messaging intervention. The messages contained four topics (parent–child relationships, child nutrition, child health, and maternal self-care) and were delivered in an audio-based format upon the community’s needs. Forty-six Somali/Somali American parents ( Mage = 31) participated in the feasibility study, and 12 parents provided feedback. Based on thematic analysis, Somali/Somali American parents found the content and delivery style helpful in caring for their children and themselves and expressed interest in continuing this intervention. We discuss the implications for using mobile health interventions to address health inequities in marginalized communities.

This study reports the results of a pilot study of a parent-based intervention to address alcohol-related sexual assault on a college campus. Parents of incoming college students were recruited to participate in a small group intervention during summer orientation. The intervention was designed to last between 60 and 90 min. The content included the following: alcohol use and sexual assault on campus, the role alcohol plays in sexual assault, principles of bystander intervention, and tools for communication about alcohol and sexual assault. Participants completed a survey measure at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up with measures of alcohol and consent, rape myths, and ratings of confidence in talking about alcohol and sexual assault. A total of 53 parents attended the group. Results indicated a medium effect for change over time with a decrease in the acceptability of giving consent for sexual activity while using alcohol from pre-test to post-test, but no change from post-test to follow-up. There was a medium effect for change over time in the rejection of rape myths with an increase in endorsement of rape myths between post-test and follow-up. Parents rated their confidence in talking with their students about alcohol and sexual assault. Initially, 75% of parents reported being “very confident” in their ability to talk with their child about sexual assault. At the end of the intervention, their confidence increased to 92% of parents feeling “very confident.” The results of this pilot study show promise for parent-based prevention that addresses alcohol-related sexual assault and sets the stage for further studies.

Although women outlive men, women report poorer self-rated physical health over much of the lifespan. Objectification theory may offer insight into this gender difference. Objectifying culture promotes self-surveillance, which encourages prioritizing the body’s appearance over its physical functioning and well-being. As women may engage in self-surveillance more so than men, this sequence of events may help explain this gender difference in self-rated health. However, the few studies examining this idea show an inconsistent relationship between self-surveillance and self-rated health. Nonetheless, self-surveillance may promote body shame and diminished awareness of internal bodily states. As these factors are associated with poor self-rated health, self-surveillance may predict poor self-rated health via these mechanisms. In study 1 ( N = 166 undergraduate women), self-surveillance was unrelated to self-rated health. However, body shame and low interoceptive awareness mediated this relationship. In study 2 ( N = 347 undergraduate women and men), self-surveillance correlated negatively with self-rated health for female participants but not male participants. Female participants reported poorer self-rated health, and this effect was serially mediated by self-surveillance, body shame, and low body responsiveness. These studies suggest a potential avenue by which self-surveillance may explain the gender difference in self-rated health in college samples, providing an important basis for future longitudinal investigations in more diverse samples. Moreover, these results suggest that interventions targeting body shame and low internal awareness may be used to promote good self-rated health as well as to prevent disease and poor health behaviors related to self-rated health.

Complicated grief is both a cause and a consequence of health inequities in Native (American Indian/Alaska Native [AI/AN]) communities. Given disproportionately high rates of physical (e.g., cancer, diabetes, and heart disease) and mental health problems (e.g., substance use disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder) in Native communities, it is common for AI/AN people to suffer many losses each year. Experiences of traumatic or repeated losses may lead to the development of maladaptive grief, often known as complicated grief. The aim of the current study was to understand the perspectives of community members on grief and its connection with health inequities among AI people who have experienced the loss of a person with whom they were close. Using a community-based participatory research framework, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 AI adults from a rural reservation community. The ages of the participants ranged from 32 to 80 years (M = 54.33, SD = 14.46) and women (n = 7, 58.3%) and men (n = 5, 41.7%) were included. The participants reported many barriers to healthy grieving and linked chronic, complicated grief with the development of multifaceted health problems, which were seen as exacerbating health disparities and leading to additional losses and grief. While coping with loss was difficult, many people were able to heal from extraordinary losses through community support and cultural practices. Future research with AI/AN communities is needed to develop, implement, and evaluate culturally responsive therapeutic grief treatments. There is also a pressing need to address current physical and mental health inequities to reduce the mortality rate and, thus, complicated grief in AI/AN communities.

Despite the prevalence and benefits of extracurricular involvement in sports for youth, few scholars have conceptualized youth mental health and development within the context of sport environments. The aim of this investigation was to create a visual framework of actions, thoughts, and feelings that promote mental health and development for youth athletes. Using a participatory mixed methods approach known as group concept mapping, 37 subject matter experts in youth athlete wellness contributed to a remote brainstorming activity by identifying the actions, thoughts, and feelings needed for youth athletes to maximize their mental health and development. Twenty-five subject matter experts then sorted the brainstormed items and rated their importance to youth mental health and development. Following data collection, the research team performed a hierarchical cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling analysis to create a point-map of items that were organized into five clusters: growth mindset, self-assurance, team culture, socioenvironmental factors, and health behaviors. Once these findings are replicated and validated in further research, parents, coaches, and sport professionals can use them to build a strong foundation for athletes in years to come. In doing so, youth athletes can remain engaged in sport and continue to experience the many benefits of sport across the lifespan.

Women are disproportionately affected by climate change, yet even though mental health and climate change is an emerging field, little research focuses on their mental health. The purpose of this study was to explore young women’s perceptions of climate change, gender, and mental health. A feminist poststructural (FPS) approach guided this research. FPS and discourse analysis were used to explore nine participants’ perceptions of their mental health in relation to the changing climate, and how their experiences were personally, socially, and institutionally constructed. Findings highlight participant relationships to discourses surrounding hopelessness, anxiety, grief and frustration, intersectionality, stereotypes, and gender-based violence (GBV). Study findings supported by broader literature provide recommendations for the discipline of health promotion regarding gender appropriate climate mitigation and adaptation strategies that prioritize and recognize mental health. We urge health promotion to recognize and integrate the fact that climate change amplifies existing inequities into health and climate change policies whenever possible. Climate change and health policies should ensure women are safe and protected before climate driven weather events to prevent instances of GBV. We recommend that health promotion media specialists recognize the dangers and ineffectiveness of fear mongering and attempt to promote climate solutions as opposed to only stories of despair and ecological degradation.

We urge health promotion to recognize and integrate the fact that climate change amplifies existing inequities into health and climate change policies whenever possible. Climate change and health policies should ensure women are safe and protected before climate driven weather events to prevent instances of GBV. We recommend that health promotion media specialists recognize the dangers and ineffectiveness of fear mongering and attempt to promote climate solutions as opposed to only stories of despair and ecological degradation.","PeriodicalId":73906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prevention and health promotion","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140385386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

UK adolescents and young adults are facing increasing rates of mental health problems and extremely difficult economic circumstances. There is strong evidence that interventions to increase income during adolescence can mitigate conditions such as anxiety and depression. However, policymakers lack quantified risk differences in the probability of mental illness between different income groups by which to establish the prospective scale of mitigation. Here, we estimate risk differences using two longitudinal cohort studies: Millennium Cohort Study (cohort members born between 2000 and 2002) and Next Steps (born 1989–1990). We quantify the association between income and risk of depression at age 14, serious mental illness at age 17, and non-psychotic mental illness at age 25. We also conduct sensitivity analysis using numerous other markers of socioeconomic (SES) status. We estimate that those living in the poorest quintile group of households have a greater probability of mental health problems than the richest at ages 14, 17, and 25. We find that other markers of SES status—subjective financial strain, cohort member assessed wealth relative to friends, occupational class, and education—display steeper associations with mental health symptoms relative to associations between mental health symptoms and income. Our findings are likely to be conservative underestimates since they are likely to be attenuated by well-known and large measurement errors in both mental health problems and living standards during adolescence.
