Recent research finds condom use resistance is common among young adults and young men's alcohol intoxication and sexual aggression history are predictive of greater condom use resistance and other sexual risk behaviors. This research will address the public health concern of men's sexual risk behaviors, evaluate the role of emotional processes in men's alcohol-related sexual risk, and use multiple methods to gather data to develop and inform prevention and intervention programs.

The purpose of this study is to examine wake time activities (physical activity and sedentary behaviors) and sleep and the association among these behaviors with diabetes risk in obese Latino adolescents and young adults. This study will also use an integrated mixed methods approach to combine quantitative activity data with qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews to identify sociocultural determinants of wake time activities and sleep.

People with mobility impairments (PMI) are disproportionately affected by diet-related health-compromising conditions such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and some cancers compared to those without mobility impairments. PMI anecdotally report numerous barriers in the physical and social environment that lead to poor dietary habits; however, currently, there is no clear guiding model or specific instrument to operationalize barriers and environmental factors that impact dietary habits in PMI. This study will aim to address this gap by using a comprehensive, theoretically and consumer-guided, ecological and dynamic approach to identifying ecologic factors that contribute to dietary habits in PMI.
