Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

As keystone species, sea stars serve to maintain biodiversity and species distribution through trophic level interactions in marine ecosystems. Recently, Sea Star Wasting Disease (SSWD) has caused widespread mass mortality in several sea star species from the Pacific Coast of the United States of America (USA) and Asterias forbesi on the Atlantic Coast. A densovirus, named Sea Star associated Densovirus (SSaDV), has been associated with the wasting disease in Pacific Coast sea stars, and limited samples of A. forbesi. The goal of this research is to examine the pathogenesis of SSWD in A. forbesi on the Atlantic Coast of the …


Challenges To Conducting Adolescent Hiv Prevention Services Research With Court-Involved Youth, Marina Tolou-Shams, Anna Harrison, Selby M. Conrad, Sarah Johnson, Larry K. Brown Dec 2017

Challenges To Conducting Adolescent Hiv Prevention Services Research With Court-Involved Youth, Marina Tolou-Shams, Anna Harrison, Selby M. Conrad, Sarah Johnson, Larry K. Brown

Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

Multiple assessment studies demonstrate that juvenile offenders are at increased risk for contracting HIV and other STIs relative to their non-offending counterparts. Such data are used to support the implementation of adolescent HIV prevention interventions within the juvenile justice system. Despite the compelling data related to high rates of unprotected sexual activity, pregnancy, STIs, substance use and psychiatric symptoms, there are very few empirically supported HIV prevention interventions for this adolescent subgroup. Using our experience conducting HIV prevention research studies with court-involved, non-incarcerated (CINI) youth we identify salient and unique challenges to consider when conducting HIV prevention intervention research with …

Utility Of The Static-99 And Static-99r With Latino Sex Offenders, Alejandro Leguízamo, Seung C. Lee, Elizabeth L. Jeglic, Cynthia Calkins

Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

The predictive validity of the Static-99 measures with ethnic minorities in the United States has only recently been assessed with mixed results. We assessed the predictive validity of the Static-99 and Static-99R with a sample of Latino sex offenders (N = 483) as well as with two subsamples (U.S.-born, including Puerto Rico, and non-U.S.-born). The overall sexual recidivism rate was very low (1.9%). Both the Static-99 measures were able to predict sexual recidivism for offenders born in the United States and Puerto Rico, but neither was effective in doing so for other Latino immigrants. Calibration analyses (N = 303) of …

Traumatic brain injury has been linked with higher incidence of sexual problems. As there have been few published reports regarding sexual functioning in men with traumatic brain injury in Latin America, this study sought to compare sexual measures in men with traumatic brain injury with healthy controls. The hypotheses that males with TBI would experience significantly lower indices of sexual functioning compared to unaffected individuals and that increased age and injury severity would predict lower sexual functioning among participants with TBI were tested. Seventy-one Spanish-speaking Colombian men with a history of moderate to severe TBI who were at least 6 …
