Cultural Values and Internalizing Symptoms among Latinx Youth: The Role of Gender
Get PDFLatinx youth are at a disproportionate risk for developing internalizing symptoms. The Integrative Model for the Study of Developmental Competencies suggests that cultural values can serve as protective factors against the development of mental health problems. Much less is known about the impact of multiple cultural values and their combined effects on internalizing symptoms in Latinx youth. Moreover, since gender influences socialization and cultural value endorsement, additional research is needed to examine how cultural values may differentially protect boys’ and girls’ mental health. This study addresses these gaps by examining a) supportive familism’s moderational role in the relation between affiliative obedience and youth depression and anxiety; and b) gender as a moderator of these moderational effects. The sample includes 1,020 Latinx students (Mage = 11.5; SD = 1.0) recruited from ten public schools in Chicago. Results showed that supportive familism significantly moderated the relation between affiliative obedience and depression [b = .04 95% C.I. (.01, .07), p = .02]. Moreover, significant moderated moderation results were found, such that the lowest depression and anxiety levels were found among girls (but not boys) who had both high affiliative obedience and supportive familism. Results highlight the importance of considering both cultural values and gender when supporting Latinx youth and their families

COVID-19 Policies & Their Impact on Housing and Health Outcomes in the City of Chicago
Get PDFThe COVID-19 mandates and policies that were implemented by both the state of Illinois and the City of Chicago, such as the eviction moratorium, dramatically improved health outcomes by alleviating the financial stress of many households. Discussing social determinants of health and evaluating the impact that each social determinant had on housing and health outcomes allows for an in-depth look at the overall concept of housing in Chicago and the health outcomes of low-income individuals. Comparing the housing laws in place before COVID-19 at the federal, state, and local levels allows for analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 policies and state mandates in response to the pandemic.
