Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are well-established risk factors for cigarette use and dependence, yet the role of culturally relevant protective factors, such as compassion for self and others, remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study examined whether self-compassion and compassion for others moderated the association between ACEs and cigarette dependence in a national sample of Latine adults who smoked cigarettes (<i>N</i> = 174). Participants completed self-report measures of childhood ACEs, compassion, and cigarette use and dependence. Correlational analyses showed that ACEs were positively associated with cigarette dependence, whereas self-compassion was inversely associated with dependence. However, moderation analyses indicated that neither self-compassion nor compassion for others buffered the relationship between ACEs and cigarette dependence. Although self-compassion did not moderate the ACE-dependence association in this sample, its negative association with dependence highlights the potential value of further investigating self-compassion as a target in strength-based approaches to supporting Latine adults who smoke cigarettes.</p>","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13458548/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148713866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We systematically reviewed the literature from 2000 through 2024. We screened empirical studies using pre-determined eligibility criteria. Articles meeting inclusion criteria were abstracted for relevant data elements to characterize the literature (e.g., quantity, distribution, sample, methodology, intervention characteristics). We screened 7,870 articles, of which 34 met our inclusion criteria. About a third of studies (39%) were one-arm designs, whereas another third (35%) included trials comparing an active condition to at least one other condition. About half of studies targeted parents or families (50%), another followed by adults (43%) and youth (3%). The interventions addressed a broad range of acculturative stressors, with the most common being family-related stress (85%), parental stress (78%), and pre-migration stress (56%). A primary focus of these interventions was incorporating cultural content, facilitating immigrants' narratives related to their migration process, and providing psychoeducation about acculturative stress. Most interventions utilized cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy components, were brief, implemented in diverse settings, and used professionals, paraprofessionals, and peer educators. An increased focus on rigor and dissemination of these interventions holds promise for reducing acculturative stress, which is a known driver of health inequities among Latinxs.</p>","PeriodicalId":29959,"journal":{"name":"Translational Issues in Psychological Science","volume":"12 2","pages":"255-274"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13341171/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148406082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Complicated grief and historical trauma have been implicated in health disparities among AI/ANs, including disparities related to alcohol and other drug (AOD) use. However, limited research has examined the relationship between grief and alcohol use among AI/ANs. This study aimed to explore this association using data from a national sample of 600 AI/AN adults who had recently experienced the death of a loved one. Participants completed measures of alcohol use, complicated and adaptive grief, mental health symptoms, and historical trauma. Alcohol use scores were used to categorize participants into three groups: high-risk drinking, low-risk drinking, and non-drinking. People in the high-risk drinking group reported significantly higher levels of complicated grief, historical trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression compared to those with low-risk or no alcohol use. Differences in complicated grief were not explained by the number of losses reported or funerals attended. Notably, participants who abstained from alcohol reported the highest levels of adaptive grief. Results underscore the need for interventions that address grief alongside alcohol use, particularly among those struggling with loss. Integrating culturally grounded grief support into alcohol use prevention and treatment programs may enhance outcomes for AI/ANs by addressing the interconnection between grief, trauma, and alcohol problems.

Identifying factors that buffer against these effects, such as psychological agency, can offer valuable insights for supporting CHWs. This study examines (1) the association between discrimination and burnout among Latine-serving CHWs and (2) the role of agency as a potential buffer in the link between discrimination and burnout. Data were collected in a context of pronounced stress for CHWs: the aftermath of the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (<i>N</i> = 81 Latine-serving CHWs) completed standardized measures of discrimination and burnout. Participants also provided discrimination narratives which were coded for psychological agency. Higher frequency of self-reported discrimination significantly predicted higher work- and COVID-related burnout. Additionally, agency moderated the association between discrimination and COVID-related burnout, such that at high levels of agency, discrimination no longer predicted COVID-related burnout. However, agency did not significantly moderate the link between discrimination and work-related burnout. Findings suggest that strengthening agency may protect Latine-serving CHWs from the adverse effects of discrimination during periods of acute external stress.
