This study examines stressors (i.e., discrimination and stereotypes) and buffers (i.e., exercise) relevant to Asian-identified student-athletes' mental health. The study tests a set of counter-stereotype paradox hypotheses positing that conforming to idealized stereotypes of Asians exacerbates discrimination-mental health links. Data were drawn from the 2015-2019 cohorts of the Healthy Minds Study. Regression-based moderations were used to test counter-stereotype paradox hypotheses and a buffering model of exercise. A-student status was a moderator of the discrimination and lower positive mental health link, and gender and body mass index (BMI) were moderators of the discrimination and anxiety and lower positive mental health links. Consistent with counter-stereotype paradoxes, discrimination and these mental health indicators were significantly correlated for Asian-identified student-athletes who reported being A-students or being underweight/normal-weight women. Results contradicted the counter-stereotype paradox for the discrimination-suicidality relation, which was significant for student-athletes reporting B-grades or lower and not significant for A-students. Exercise appeared to buffer discrimination-mental health associations for depression, anxiety, positive mental health, and disordered eating concerns. Results challenge the oft-celebrated Asian American model minority image and signify how both conforming and failing to conform to stereotypes can have benefits and liabilities for Asian-identified student-athletes.

The objective of this study is to understand how Indigenous language and spirituality revitalization efforts may affect mental health within Indigenous communities. Although Indigenous communities experience disproportionate rates of mental health problems, research supporting language and spirituality's role in improving mental health is under-researched and poorly understood. Data for this study are from a Community-based Participatory Research Project involving five Anishinaabe tribes in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Participants were sampled from clinic records of adults with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, living on or near the reservation, and self-identifying as American Indian (mean age = 46.3; = 191). Structural equation modeling illustrates that language use in the home is associated with positive mental health through spiritual connectedness. Results support tribal community expressions of the positive effects of cultural involvement for Indigenous wellbeing, and improve what is known about the interconnectedness of language and spirituality.

In this article, we describe the process of developing and nurturing a CBPR partnership between university researchers and a newly arrived Rohingya refugee community, providing background on the community and our collaborative efforts to date. Co-occurring, interdependent, and iterative processes related to relationship building, capacity building, and research and informal data gathering helped to develop and promote the partnership. Case study examples illustrate challenges and possible resolutions. Particularly for newly arrived refugee and immigrant communities, historical disenfranchisement and current stressors can impact how CBPR partnerships are developed and nurtured, thus, ongoing considerations of chronosystemic factors, attending to community-specific priorities while also connecting with other communities, and embracing multiple roles of academic researcher, advocate, and ally, can facilitate CBPR partnership development and future research projects.

Method In a YPAR program, we added social biography to photovoice and the Five Whys during the problem definition phase. We coded ethnographic fieldnotes to examine the quality of critical discourse. Participants were six 10-11 year old Latinx children, some from mixed-status families. Results Social biography enlivened critical dialogue when children defined the problem for their project the accountability of la migra, or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ono-7300243.html Conclusions Social biography is a valuable tool for democratizing knowledge production with children through a liberatory framework.

Millions of Venezuelans have left their country in search of safety and stability in the United States (U.S.) and Colombia, two countries where recent increases in anti-immigrant rhetoric and sentiment have occurred. The captures the degree to which immigrants report feeling that people from their country are unwanted/marginalized within their new receiving context. In the present study, we examine the psychometric properties of the Perceived Negative Context of Reception Scale with recent Venezuelan immigrant adolescents and adults in the U.S. and Colombia. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis using data from the Colombia and Miami's Newest Arrivals (CAMINAR) Study, which collected data from Venezuelan adults in Bogotá, Colombia, and South Florida in October-November 2017, and the Venezolanos en Nuevos Entornos (VENE) Youth Project which surveyed Venezuelan youth living in Florida between November 2018 and July 2019. We found that the negative context of reception evidenced strong psychometric properties among immigrants in both the U.
