A study conducted at California State University Long Beach examined the socialization of sexism among Mexican-heritage college students in the United States. The research surveyed 802 students and found that traditional gender messaging was most frequently attributed to older relatives and least to familial peers. Ambivalent sexist attitudes were positively related to gender messages from familial and nonfamilial peers, highlighting the importance of cultural processes in understanding sexism endorsement. The study concluded that positive ethnic identity and familial peers can serve as buffers against internalizing sexism. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at California State University focused on quantifying the cardiac-induced deformation of the thoracic aorta after ascending thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The research, part of the GORE ARISE Early Feasibility Study, examined the impact of ascending TEVAR on the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and descending aorta. The findings suggest that ascending TEVAR reduces cardiac-induced deformation of the stented ascending aorta and native descending aorta, potentially affecting long-term systemic complications and cardiac remodeling. This study provides valuable data for evaluating the mechanical durability of ascending aortic devices and guiding future interventional strategies. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by California State University examined public perceptions of juries that include jurors with felony convictions. The research found that participants' views of juries with felon-jurors did not differ significantly from homogeneous juries without felons, challenging the argument that felon-jurors taint the jury system. The study suggests that diversity of experience, including a criminal history, may actually enhance views of the jury and verdicts. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on felon-juror exclusion and questions the rationale behind excluding individuals with felony convictions from serving as jurors.

A study conducted at California State University Long Beach examined the impact of mothers' internalizing distress on their children's socioemotional development. The study focused on Mexican immigrant, Dominican immigrant, and African American mothers and their children over a six-year period following childbirth. The findings revealed two distinct classes of distress among the mothers, with children of mothers in the moderate distress class showing greater internalizing, externalizing, and hyperactivity behaviors in the first grade compared to children of mothers in the low distress class. The study emphasizes the importance of supporting the mental health of ethnic minoritized mothers after childbirth to promote healthy psychological adjustment in children.

A recent study conducted at California State University Long Beach explores the concept of social comparison theory and its implications in various fields, particularly marketing. The theory examines how individuals evaluate themselves by comparing different aspects of their lives to others. The research highlights the growing interest in social comparison theory, driven by the impact of social media on body image and self-esteem. Themes such as body image, envy, social media, motivation, and life satisfaction are identified as significant areas of focus within the theory. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the research field and its potential future directions. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at California State University Long Beach focused on the low uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication among black and Latinx men who have sex with men (MSM). The study found that while 90% of participants were aware of PrEP in oral form, only 10% were aware of the newer long-acting injectable (LAI) form of PrEP. The researchers recommended increasing awareness and uptake of LAI-PrEP among black and Latinx MSM by considering self-administration, involving local community pharmacists in administering the medication, and promoting uptake through high-profile male content creators on platforms like OnlyFans. The study emphasized the importance of addressing the disproportionate impact of HIV among the black and Latinx MSM community. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by California State University Long Beach examined the natural supports available to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across various life domains. The study found that family members were the primary source of support, followed by professionals and family friends. Natural support was most extensive in the health domain and least extensive in employment and housing. The study also revealed that individuals who regularly participated in daytime activities and identified as Black had more extensive natural support. The implications of these findings are discussed in the research. [Extracted from the article]

A qualitative study conducted at California State University Long Beach explored the challenges faced by private school teachers in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that teachers faced difficulties with parental involvement and children's participation in remote instruction, particularly among low-income families. Lack of access to technological devices, internet, low technological literacy, and language barriers were identified as contributing factors. The findings suggest the need for governments to ensure children's access to digital tools and internet services, as well as the implementation of support services for families who are unable to support their children's education at home. Future studies may explore the impact of the long school closure on learning loss. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at a community hospital in Long Beach, California, evaluated the use of ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USAT) for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE). The study included 40 patients with intermediate-risk PE who received USAT with alteplase. The primary efficacy outcome was a decrease in the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) score within 48 hours after USAT, and the primary safety outcome was major bleeding within 72 hours. The study found that USAT resulted in an improvement in PESI scores and no major bleeding events. This research provides valuable insights into the implementation of USAT in a real-world clinical setting. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at California State University Long Beach examined the effects of previous experiences of healthcare discrimination on HIV intervention outcomes among young Black/African American men who have sex with men (YBMSM). The study found that those who had experienced more healthcare discrimination showed greater improvements over time in HIV testing, perceptions of sexual risk, and drug use compared to those who had experienced less discrimination. The researchers concluded that a community-level peer intervention, combined with addressing prior experiences of discrimination, may be highly effective for individuals who have faced barriers in their continuum of care due to racial discrimination. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into addressing the HIV epidemic among YBMSM. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted at California State University Long Beach explores the experiences of California Title IX coordinators during the Trump administration's policy changes. The study found that the recension of Obama-era guidelines had limited impact on their daily operations due to the state's progressive social policies and protective legislation. However, the new Title IX regulations were perceived as more consequential, imposing heavy burdens on administrative offices and potentially affecting campus safety and survivors' willingness to report. The study suggests that progressive state legislative action, restorative justice approaches, and a survivor bill of rights can serve as important counterpoints to federal Title IX policy.
