Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Perceived discrimination is associated with sleep health problems. This association is even stronger among Black/African Americans, who are typically exposed to more frequent discrimination in the US. Limited research examines how perceptions of discrimination impact young adults’ sleep health, particularly using objective measures. The current study investigated the association between perceived discrimination experiences and sleep health among Black/African American young adults. Methods Data from age 22 wave of the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing, Young Adult Sleep Study (YASS) included Black/African American young adults (n = 221) who self-reported experiences of discrimination due to their race/skin color, gender, and age. Wrist-worn actigraphy measures across ~2 weeks included sleep duration, sleep maintenance efficiency, and wake after sleep onset (WASO). Multiple linear regression models examined the association between perceived discrimination experiences based on personal attributes and dimensions of sleep adjusting for age, gender, and educational attainment. Results Among this sample of Black/African American young adults, perceived experiences of discrimination in their life were not associated with actigraphic sleep duration. Perceived discrimination attributed to race/skin color, age, or gender were not associated with sleep duration. Perceived experiences of discrimination in their life were also not associated with actigraphic sleep maintenance efficiency. Perceived discrimination attributed to age was associated with lower sleep maintenance efficiency (-3.01%, p&lt;.001) and more WASO (+10.64 minutes/night, p=.004) compared to young adults who did not perceive age discrimination. Perceived discrimination attributed to gender was associated with lower sleep maintenance efficiency (-2.12%, p=.023) and more WASO (+9.47 minutes/night, p=.019), and were not different between women and men. Gender did not modify associations of sleep measures with perceived discrimination attributed to race/skin color or age. Conclusion Black/African American young adults’ perceived discrimination due to specific personal attributes (age and gender) are linked to lower sleep maintenance efficiency and more WASO. Future longitudinal research should examine whether perceived discrimination in young adulthood predicts poorer sleep health across time.

Abstract:
African American marriage rates have declined over the years. This qualitative study examines the ways in which African American young adult women describe their desires in potential long-term (possibly marriage) partners. The following research questions guided the study: (a) What are young adult African American women’s perceptions as it relates to long-term relationships and marriage? and (b) What qualities do African American young adult women desire in a long-term partner? A total of 35 African American young adults participated in the study. Findings for the study indicated that childhood observations of family members’ relationships, personality traits, and values had great influence in the type of partner desired. The study offers several recommendations for future research and strategies for marriage and family practices in the African American community.

Abstract:
HIV/AIDS has a devastating impact on African Americans, particularly women and young adults. We sought to characterize risks, barriers, and content and delivery needs for a faith-based intervention to reduce HIV risk among African American women ages 18 to 25. In a convergent parallel mixed methods study, we conducted four focus groups ( n = 38) and surveyed 71 young adult women. Data were collected across four African American churches for a total of 109 participants. We found the majority of women in this sample were engaged in behaviors that put them at risk for contracting HIV, struggled with religiously based barriers and matters of sexuality, and had a desire to incorporate their intimate relationships, parenting, and financial burdens into faith-based HIV risk-reduction interventions. Incorporating additional social context–related factors into HIV risk-reduction interventions for young African American women is critical to adapting and developing HIV interventions to reduce risk among young adult women in faith settings.

Abstract:
Racial discrimination is associated with depressive symptoms for young African American adults. Yet few studies have examined the psychological mechanisms for this association. The purpose of this preliminary study was to examine the mediating effect of helplessness on the association between perceived racial discrimination and depressive symptoms in a sample of 172 African American young adults. Measures of perceived racial discrimination, depression, and helplessness were administered. Though the majority of the sample reported minimal or no symptoms of depression, approximately 37% of the sample reported dysphoric or more severe depression symptomatology. After controlling for age, perceived racial discrimination was directly and indirectly associated with depressive symptoms via helplessness. These findings provide some insight into the cognitive mechanisms through which depressive symptoms may emerge for African American young adults exposed to racial discrimination.

Abstract:
This study explores the role of health behaviors on depressive symptoms across young adult females and differences in the relationship across race/ethnicity. The data come from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Child and Young Adult. Seven hundred and seven non-Hispanic White females, 592 African American females, and 349 Hispanic females were selected. Multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses were conducted. African American and Hispanic females were more likely to eat fast food than non-Hispanic Whites. African Americans reported that they ate fruit less frequently in comparison with non-Hispanic Whites. Fruit intake was related to lower levels of depressive symptoms. Hispanics moderated the association between fruit intake and depressive symptoms. Females should be encouraged to eat more fruit during young adulthood in order to diminish the likelihood of depressive symptoms. In addition, strategies for promoting healthy behaviors should consider the varied effects of race/ethnicity on depressive symptoms among young female adults.

Abstract:
Despite the continual prevention efforts in the United States, an estimated 1 million people are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and 25% of them are unaware of their infection status. There are no national surveillance data available on the incidence or prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the transgender population; this absence of data is a matter for concern. Guided by the health behavior model and social cognitive theory, this study utilized a quantitative approach to examine the associations between HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes regarding HIV/AIDS and condoms, and condom use self-efficacy as predictors of condom use in African American transgender young adults--one of the most disenfranchised and marginalized groups at increased risk for HIV infection--in the District of Columbia. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and chi-square analyses were used to analyze the research questions. There was no statistically significant relationship found between the dependent and independent variables at last intercourse with a steady partner. However, there was a statistically significant relationship when predicting condom use in the last 30 days and last 6 months with a steady partner. There was a statistically significant relationship for predicting condom use at last intercourse and intercourse in the last 30 days among nonsteady partners. There was no statistically significant relationship found between the dependent and independent variables at intercourse in the last 6 months with nonsteady partners. The findings could inform public health practitioners to develop and implement programs targeting African American transgender populations; the findings could also reinforce the public health policies and practices in favor of this cohort.

Abstract:
Throughout history, technology has evolved to help empower communities of color. In the twenty-first century, online social networking sites have changed the way people communicate with their peers, employers and the world. Online social media sites have brought demands for further exploration using social media sites. Online social media has influenced social change, and has become the voice of the new era. Facebook and Twitter have been the leading tools used to communicate world events, social gatherings, revolutions and everyday events. Communication scholars have begun to research the phenomenon of how social media sites are being used to socialize communities of color. In the digital age, researchers are using methods such as uses and gratification to understand and investigate why African-Americans are using online social media sites as a tool to communicate. Researchers focus on questions such as why are African-Americans interested in sharing personal information online, and how do African-Americans use different social media sites to engage. In this research, Facebook was one of the most popular sites used in the African-American communities to communicate by posting pictures, exchanging information and posting daily activities. There are several reasons for social online media sites in the African-Americans community, such as entertainment, socialization, information-seeking, business and education. The study found African-American young adults use social media sites to engage in daily activities and information seeking. Further explanations of observed finding were provided in the thesis.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the reasons for the decline of young adult church attendance after an affiliation with church during childhood. Religion plays an important role in the lives of African Americans as a coping mechanism for loss, adversity, racism, and trauma. In addition, spiritual exploration is a component of psychological development during maturation. Using the social identity theory, the study explored the impact of childhood church affiliation and coping styles of young adults. African American Youth between 18 and 30 years old were randomly selected to complete a combination of questions from the Lasting Faith Scale, Private Religious Practices questions, Brief Religious/Spiritual Coping, and Organizational Religiousness scales (n = 103) via Survey Monkey to (a) assess variables which contributed to their decision on whether or not to continue participating in organized fellowship and (b) examine the relationship between the childhood affiliation and their adult coping styles. The design for the study was quantitative and comprised of correlational measurements using Spearman's Rho. Among young adults who attended church as children, there was a significant positive relationship between church attendance and positive spiritual coping. This study will increase church leaders' understanding of this congregation's needs. It will provide a framework for program development that addresses the needs of young adults as related to coping styles. The implication for social change is a greater understanding from church leaders and young adults of what is beneficial for the spiritual development of children and how it is related to identity and coping factors later in life.

Abstract:
This study examined the effects of gender, ethnicity, social support, and acculturation on depression-stigma in college communities; specifically targeting the racial groups of African Americans and Whites. Undergraduates of various ages and class standings were given surveys within their demographics pertaining to: acculturation, social support, stigma, and depression. The above factors were compared to ethnicity. The results supported that African Americans have a higher level of depression-stigma overall, especially those who have been enculturated into their traditional culture; none of the additional hypotheses were supported by the research.

Abstract:
The focus of the current investigation is to examine the temporal relationship of gambling onset and alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis initiation in adolescents and young adults (M age = 20.3 years) by examining the prevalence and pattern of onset for each substance and gambling pairing and the associated risk between gambling and each substance use. Data were drawn from the multiwave Missouri Family Study (n = 1,349) of African American (AA; n = 450) and White families (n = 317) enriched for risk for alcohol use disorder and includes those who were assessed for gambling behaviors and problems: AA (360 males, 390 females) and White (287 males, 312 females). Findings indicated racial differences in the overall prevalence of gambling behaviors and substance use as well as patterns of initiation-particularly within gambling/alcohol and gambling/tobacco for males. Survival models revealed some similarities as well as differences across race and gender groups in associations of gambling with initiation of substances, as well as substances with initiation of gambling. Alcohol use (AA males only) and cannabis use (AA males and White females) elevated the hazards of initiating gambling. In contrast, gambling significantly elevated the hazards of initiation alcohol across 3 of 4 groups and of cannabis use in AA males only. The results highlight some overlapping as well as distinct risk factors for both gambling and substance use initiation in this cohort enriched for vulnerability to alcohol use disorder (AUD). These findings have implications for integrating gambling prevention into existing substance use prevention and intervention efforts-particularly but not exclusively for young AA males.

Abstract:
African American women have the highest rates of HIV infection among women of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States, and over 50% of HIV infected young adults are unaware of their infection. HIV testing is a cost-effective mechanism for reducing HIV transmission. Despite this, limited research has been devoted to developing interventions specifically promoting HIV testing. This two-part study proposed to address this gap through developing a culturally tailored HIV testing message aimed at increasing HIV test intentions among young African American women. Study 1 was a quantitative study that examined predictors of HIV testing history and future HIV test intentions among 109 African American women aged 18-24. Measures on sexual behavior, HIV knowledge, HIV conspiracy beliefs, gender role beliefs, gender ratio imbalance beliefs were included in the survey. Next, a culturally tailored HIV testing message was developed based on findings from Study 1 which identified significant predictors of HIV testing and HIV test intentions. Findings revealed that number of sexual partners, perceived barriers, and perceived benefits were significant predictors of past HIV testing. Number of sexual partners, perceived importance of HIV testing, and perceived seriousness were significant predictors of HIV test intentions in the next 3 months. Study 2 compared the exposure effect of the tailored health message to a generic HIV testing message on self-reported future HIV test intentions. Findings revealed no significant differences between the health message groups on future HIV test intentions. There were also no significant differences between groups on the message acceptability outcomes.

Abstract:
This study examined the relationship of the Hip Hop culture on the attitudes of African-American young adults toward marriage, education, and family. The linkages between Hip Hop culture on African-American young adults' attitudes have only recently been studied; much more work remains to improve our understanding of this relationship. The target population for the research was composed of young adults' ages 18-24. One hundred and eleven respondents were selected, utilizing nonprobability convenience sampling from among the participants of the selected Atlanta site for the study. In sum, there was no statistically significant relationship established between Hip Hop culture on the attitudes of African-American young adults toward marriage, education, and family.

Abstract:
Marijuana is the most commonly used drug for young adults. A greater understanding of risk factors associated with recent use can inform health prevention messaging. Pooled data from the 2015-2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health were utilized among 89,446 individuals ages 18-34. Weighted logistic regression analyses, controlling for covariates, were utilized to determine conditional associations to past-30-day use. A sizeable percentage (18.5%) of individuals reported smoking marijuana in the past 30 days. Individuals who identify as African American or Multi-Racial, Gay/Lesbian, Bisexual, reported their health as poor, not covered by health insurance, reported prior drug use, or who had reported any thoughts/plans of suicide were at risk for use. Of concern, high rates of alcohol (14.7%) and cocaine (1.50%) were found among users. We believe our findings can inform harm reduction efforts and policy creation.

Abstract:
Introduction: By the end of 2022, most states across the US except for three would have enacted some form of legalized cannabis policy. Support for the legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes are particularly high among young adults. Given the rapidly changing policy landscape, understanding how these policies may have impacted cannabis use among different groups of young people can help inform current and future policy decisions and programs/intervention to curb problematic use. There is evidence to suggest significant and meaningful differences in use behaviors among individuals from different racial/ethnic backgrounds and gender identities. However, limited research has examined how these groups based on the intersection of these identities might differ in their cannabis use prior to and after recreational cannabis legalization (RCL). Method: 366 cannabis-using young adults (aged 18-26) comprising 210 medical cannabis patients and 156 non-patients were surveyed annually between 2014-2020 in Los Angeles culminating into 6 waves of data. Bilinear spline growth curve models examined changes in cannabis use trajectory, with three waves pre-RCL and three waves post-RCL after accounting for patient status and age. Multi-group analyses investigated differences between six genderXrace/ethnicity subgroups: 1) African American Females (AAF); 2) Caucasian/White Females (WF); 3) Hispanic Females/Latina (HF); 4) African American Males (AAM); 5) Caucasian/White Males (WM); and 6) Hispanic Males/Latino (HM). Omnibus tests investigated homogeneity in the latent growth constructs across the 6 groups. We tested equality of covariances (correlations) and means across groups (p < .05). If inequality was shown, further tests were conducted. Results: Overall, significant group differences were observed in cannabis use trajectories and the correlations between intercepts and growth factors. Specifically, HF, HM, AAM and WM reported moderate level of cannabis use (between 50 to 56 days of use) compared to AAF and WF at baseline, whereby AAF reported significantly higher use (70.72 days) relative to all other groups. In contrast, WF reported significantly lower use (35.42 days). There were different patterns in pre-RCL growth parameters. Whereas AAF and HF had relatively flat rate of change, WF, WM, and HM had relatively similar significant decrease in use pre-RCL. Interestingly, during the period post-RCL, AAF, WM, and HM all showed significant decline in use, but WF was the only group with a significant increase in use while HF and AAM had modest increases in use. While baseline use generally predicted pre-RCL use within each subgroup (for some, baseline use led to more rapid increase while for others, it led to more rapid decrease in use), this is less true for post-RCL use. Significant effects associated with age and patient status were also observed. Conclusions: These are among the first findings to show how cannabis policy has differentially impacted cannabis use behaviors prior to and after RCL among a diverse population of cannabis-using young adults. Additional research should investigate potential mechanisms of these difference and longer-term health impacts.
