The University of Arizona, the prime awardee, is receiving a $496,319 grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307). This 5-year research project aims to understand intersectional family relationships and their contributions to mental health among Latinx sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents and their parents. The key activities include:
-
Adapting and validating a parent-report measure of acceptance for Latinx SGM adolescents into an adolescent-report version (the PALSA measure) to enable culturally-responsive, dyadic assessments of family relationships.
-
Examining how family relationship patterns from multiple reporters predict mental health outcomes for Latinx SGM adolescents and their parents.
-
Investigating how family relationships moderate the associations between structural/social determinants of health and mental health for this population.
The University of Miami and the University of Tennessee are serving as sub-grantees on this project, contributing expertise in mental health disparities research and family studies to support the overall objectives.
