Family Violence Exposure and Sexual Risk-Taking Among Latino Emerging Adults: The Role of Posttraumatic Stress Symptomology and Acculturative Stress

Associations Between Latent Classes of Interpersonal Polyvictimization and Polyperpetration and Sexual Risk Behaviors Among Young Pregnant Couples: A Dyadic Analysis

“…Further, females and males with no reported victimization and perpetration were protected against sexual risk behaviors. Consistent with previous research (Rivera et al, 2015; Rosario et al, 2014; Silverman et al, 2004; Silverman et al, 2001; Voisin, 2005), our study found an association between violence and adolescent sexual risk, but our study builds this previous work by including the co-occurrence of victimization and perpetration across multiple domains; demonstrating the relevance of the violence-sexual risk link for young pregnant couples; and showing how individual and partners experience of violence impacts sexual risk within the couple. Sexual health interventions and programs may benefit from tailoring components to the unique individual and partner experiences of interpersonal polyvictimization and polyperpetration reported by young couples.…”

“…Violence victimization and perpetration across multiple domains have been independently associated with sexual risk behaviors among adolescents and young adults. Several studies indicate that adolescents and young adults who experience family, community, peer, or intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization are more likely to report sexual risk behaviors such as inconsistent condom use and multiple sexual partners (Rivera et al, 2015; Rosario et al, 2014; Silverman, Raj, & Clements, 2004; Voisin, 2005). Further, young men who perpetrate IPV are more likely to report increased sexual risk behaviors (Decker et al, 2009; Raj et al, 2013; Santana, Raj, Decker, La Marche, & Silverman, 2006).…”

Acculturative Stress and the Effects on Health and Health Behaviors in Hispanic Immigrants: A Systematic Review

“…Of the 32 articles, 23 referred to the participants as “Latino” (Bakhshaie et al, 2018; Castillo et al, 2015; Corona et al, 2017; Ertl et al, 2018; Gutierrez-Vazquez et al, 2018; Hill et al, 2019; Leong et al, 2013; Maldonado et al, 2018; Mayorga et al, 2018; Panchang et al, 2016; Paulus et al, 2019; Ramos et al, 2015; Rivera et al, 2015; Rogers-Sirin, 2013; Salgado et al, 2012; Sanchez et al, 2016; Savage & Mezuk, 2014; Schachter et al, 2012; Torres et al, 2012; Viana et al, 2020; Waldman et al, 2019; Zvolensky et al, 2018, 2020). There were two studies that referred to the sample population as “Hispanic” (Cervantes et al, 2013; Zvolensky et al, 2016).…”

“…A version of the Hispanic Stress Inventory (HSI) was implemented in seven articles (Alcántara et al, 2017, 2019; Cervantes et al, 2013, 2019; Muñoz et al, 2019; Salgado et al, 2012; Sanchez et al, 2016); a series of nine questions that were part of the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) were used in five articles (Leong et al, 2013; Panchang et al, 2016; Savage & Mezuk, 2014; Schachter et al, 2012; Waldman et al, 2019). The Multidimensional Acculturative Stress Inventory (MASI) was tested in three articles (Castillo et al, 2015; Rivera et al, 2015; Torres et al, 2012). The Mexican Farm Worker Stress Inventory (MFWSI) was reported in two studies (Hill et al, 2019; Ramos et al, 2015); the Riverside Acculturative Stress Inventory (RASI) and the Mexican American Prevalence and Services Studies were implemented in one report each (Corona et al, 2017; Zvolensky et al, 2020—respectively).…”

Linking Patterns of Substance Use With Sexual Risk-Taking Among Female Adolescents With and Without Histories of Maltreatment

“…In line with transactional models of maltreatment, evidence indicates that experiences of maltreatment have the potential to interact with risk factors and enhance their effects in non-additive ways [12,13]. Given that maltreatment has been linked to both adolescent substance use [14] and sexual risk-taking [15–17], it follows that the relationships between specific patterns of adolescent substance use and sexual risk-taking may be more pronounced for adolescents who have been maltreated. The present study addresses this hypothesis and uses latent class analysis to determine if specific patterns of substance use are more strongly related to sexual risk-taking for female adolescents with histories of maltreatment.…”
