Sexual assault predicts unhealthy weight management among college women: A longitudinal, prospective study.
Published in Journal of American college health : J of ACH
Objective: To examine whether sexual assault prospectively predicts unhealthy weight management behaviors in college women. Method: Participants were female college students (N = 483) with monthly assessments across the first year, including the frequency and severity of sexual assault and unhealthy weight management behaviors. Results: Frequency o...
Randomized controlled trial of cognitive refocusing versus stimulus control treatment for college insomnia: feasibility ...
Published in Journal of American college health : J of ACH
Performance of Cognitive Refocusing Treatment for Insomnia (CRT-I) relative to stimulus control treatment (SCT) remains unknown among college students. This pilot trial compared single-session, electronic-based, peer-led CRT-I to SCT, and as well as awareness-based (AC) and no-treatment (NTC) controls. College students (N = 82; Mage=18.59 [SD = 0.7...
Caregiver-Youth intergeneration acculturation conflict moderates the relationship between depression severity and suicid...
Published in Journal of American college health : J of ACH
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among college-age students in the U.S., with disparities in suicide ideation and attempts among Latinas. The current study aims to examine if depression severity predicts suicide ideation and attempts and to examine if caregiver intergeneration acculturation conflict (IAC) moderates this link. A sample o...
Barriers to mental health services among college students screened in student health: A latent class analysis.
Published in Journal of American college health : J of ACH
Background: Almost a third of college students experience significant mental health concerns, but many do not receive adequate services. This study investigated barriers to mental health services among college students screened in a student health center primary care service. Method: Students (N = 1662) presenting for primary care completed mental ...
Demographic and behavioral factors associated with kratom use among U.S. college students.
Published in Journal of American college health : J of ACH
Objective: Kratom use represents a growing risk for public health. The present study examined demographic and behavioral factors linked with kratom use. Participants: Participants were college students in the United States who participated in the 2019-2020 Healthy Minds Study. Methods: Participants completed survey-based assessment of kratom use an...
Gender and sexual identity and harms from others' drinking among U.S. college students: Results from a multi-campus surv...
Published in Journal of American college health : J of ACH
College is a critical life stage for alcohol-related harms to others (AHTOs), gender, and sexual identity. We tested associations between inclusively-defined gender and sexual identities (separately) and AHTOs among college students. The Healthy Minds Study (n = 8,308) provided data about three AHTOs: (1) babysitting a drunk student, (2) alcohol-re...
Differences in young adults' perceptions of e-cigarettes by history of use.
Published in Journal of American college health : J of ACH
Objective: The current study examined group differences in college students' views on e-cigarettes in terms of safety, popularity, health risks, social acceptability, efficacy as a cessation aid, and promoting combustible cigarette use. Participants: 337 undergraduates (Mage = 20.84, SD = 3.79; 72.1% female; 68.5% White) divided into three groups: ...
Statistical Divergences between Densities of Truncated Exponential Families with Nested Supports: Duo Bregman and Duo Je...
By calculating the Kullback–Leibler divergence between two probability measures belonging to different exponential families dominated by the same measure, we obtain a formula that generalizes the ordinary Fenchel–Young divergence. Inspired by this formula, we define the duo Fenchel–Young divergence and report a majorization condition on its pair of...
Li-Yau inequalities for the Helfrich functional and applications
We prove a general Li-Yau inequality for the Helfrich functional where the spontaneous curvature enters with a singular volume type integral. In the physically relevant cases, this term can be converted into an explicit energy threshold that guarantees embeddedness. We then apply our result to the spherical case of the variational Canham-Helfrich m...
