Research Interests
My work focuses on the role of gender and ethnicity in close relationships; health promotion in Latina/o communities; and how characteristics of service delivery systems influence the provision of health and mental health services. Marital Satisfaction and Mental Health Lab - Research in this lab focuses on how marital satisfaction is related to anxiety and depression among Mexican American and European American couples; how the relationship between martial satisfaction and mental health changes over time; and how the marital satisfaction of one partner affects that of the other. We look at ethnic differences; how acculturation and acculturative stress may influence martial satisfaction and mental health among Mexican American couples; and how various factors such as premarital cohabitation, children, and religiosity influence marital satisfaction.
