In this study, a sport-specific adaptation of Family Behavior Therapy (i.e., The Optimum Performance Program in Sports [TOPPS]) in a collegiate athlete was examined, including a controlled evaluation of several of its intervention components utilizing multiple-baseline methodology. After a 3-week baseline consisting of program orientation, cultural enlightenment, and goal development was established for unsafe sexual practices, alcohol binge drinking (four or more drinks per occasion), and teammate relationships, the participant was sequentially and cumulatively exposed to three distinct intervention phases across 12 meetings. In the first phase, a Dynamic Goals and Rewards intervention was implemented with the intention of reducing unsafe sexual practices. In the second phase, alcohol avoidance was additionally targeted through Goal Inspiration (Consequence Review; that is, a motivational enhancement exercise), SelfControl, and Environmental Control. The third phase focused on teammate relationships using Communication Skills Training while the aforementioned target areas continued to be addressed. A brief probe assessment was administered immediately before each intervention meeting to assess frequency of unprotected sex, frequency of binge drinking, and relationship problems with teammates. Results indicated that each of the target behaviors reduced substantially, but only after they were targeted. The participant's scores on a standardized measure of troublesome thoughts and stress substantially decreased across intervention meetings. Various mental health and sport performance outcome measures, in addition to the aforementioned target areas, improved up to 5 months post-intervention.

Resumen.En este artículo nos centraremos en el análisis de los datos de investigaciones diferentes, aunque conectadas entre si, llevadas a cabo por miembros del Grupo de Investigación para el Estudio de las Identidades Socioculturales en Andalucía (GEISA) sobre las mujeres inmigrantes latinoamericanas y africanas en la ciudad de Sevilla.El objetivo principal es presentar las causas subyacentes a las migraciones de las mujeres, que están en la base de las estrategias migratorias transnacionales desarrolladas por ellas. Estas estrategias han ido evolucionando a medida que se iba conformando el proceso de integración en la sociedad de destino. En este apartado daremos un énfasis especial al proceso de inserción laboral, que, junto a las causas desencadenantes de la emigración, condicionan y modulan la integración de las mujeres.Por último, avanzaremos algunas consideraciones sobre el rol de las jóvenes hijas de inmigrantes latinoamericanas en la reproducción de la identidad de género, y su repercusión en el proceso de inserción social, en un contexto en el que existe una hipervisibilidad de los varones, identificados con las bandas latinas.Palabras clave: Mujeres, estrategias migratorias, inserción sociolaboral, asociacionismo, Ecuador, Senegal. Abstract.This article will focus on the analysis of the data recollected in different but interconnected researches carried out by some members of the Research Group for the Study of Sociocultural Identities in Andalusia (GEISA) with Latin American and African migrant women in Seville.The main aim of this paper is to present the underlying causes of women's migration, which are in the basis of their migratory strategies developed both in origin and destination. These strategies have been evolving in parallel with the integration process into the host society. A particular emphasis will be given to the integration into the labour market, which, along with the triggering causes of migration, condition and modulate the process of integration of these women.Linked with this analysis, the association dynamics which have grown in connection to the needs of social and cultural reproduction in the host society will be explained. This section will try to confirm how the prominent role of women in immigrant associations is conditioned by the gender dynamics of these migratory flows as well as by mechanisms for integration implemented by the host society.At last, some considerations about the role of Latin American migrants' daughters in the reproduction of gender identity and its impact on the social integration process will be pointed up, taking into account a context where a strong visibility is given to the boys as members of Latino's gangs.
