Abstract:
... Disordered eating behaviors are prevalent in Mexican-American college-enrolled women and contribute to compromised physical and psychological health. Although disordered eating behaviors are multi-determined, few studies have examined individual difference factors that contribute to disordered eating behaviors in Mexican women beyond acculturation. Evidence suggests that individual differences in ...

Abstract:
... We investigated the association between diabetes and p,p′-DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) in blood of Mexican Americans who participated in the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In this sample, p,p′-DDT were missing in 50% of subjects and we used multiple imputation (MI) to address the problem. Compared to ignoring the missing data, MI led to a more robust ...

Abstract:
... Changing weather patterns, droughts and competing water demands are dramatically altering the landscape and creating conditions conducive to the production of wind-blown dust and dust storms. In California, such factors are leading to the rapid shrinking of the Salton Sea, a 345 mile2 land-locked “sea” situated near the southeastern rural border region known as the Imperial Valley. The region is a ...
