“…A prior study demonstrated strong psychometric properties for this instrument with HIV subjects, with good internal consistency ( coefficient alpha = .84). A cut-off score of 4 and above indentified patients with depression with an 81% correct classification rate, 90% sensitivity, and 74% specificity [8]. …”

This study examined incidence of depression in HIV-positive individuals in Botswana. One hundred and twenty HIV-positive individuals were administered a measure of daily activities and two measures of depression. Twenty four to 38% were diagnosed with depression, suicidal ideation ranged from 9 to 12%, with a positive correlation between scores on the two depression measures. Depression was associated with greater impairment in activities of daily living, especially the ability to take medication. These instruments can diagnose depression in persons living with HIV in developing countries, which will help to target those at risk for poor adherence, and will enable better allocation of limited resources.

“…A cut-off score of 4 or greater on the BDI-FS has been validated in medical samples as significant depressive symptomatology [24,31]. As in the study of Allen et al, elevated anxiety was defined as more than one standard deviation above a sample of working adults aged 19-39 years (M=36.54±10.22 for males; M=36.17±10.96 for females) because the STAI-S does not have cut-off scores [26].…”

Lower levels of distress and unmet psychological needs were related to the few participants (17%) in this study who were pre-treatment, when distress was most likely. However, physical needs and information needs, which are almost inevitable throughout treatment and beyond, were more important predictors of distress. Further exploration must consider the psychosocial difficulties underlying this association and the needs of AYA at transitions between critical periods in their cancer journey (i.e., upon diagnosis, during treatment, etc.).

“…23,24 In an HIV-positive sample, the BDI-FS demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach α = .84) and cut-off scores of 4 and above yielded a high sensitivity rate (90%) and 74% sensitivity for detecting patients with and without diagnosed mood disorders. 24 BDI-FS total scores have also been found to be either not significantly or minimally correlated with sex, age, ethnicity, and type of medical diagnosis. 25 Acculturation-Participants completed the Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale (AMAS), 26 a self-report acculturation questionnaire.…”

“…The BDI-II Fast Screen (BDI-II FS) score (based on 7 items of the BDI) was used in order to minimize the impact of the somatic complaints associated with the medical symptoms of HIV. 23,24 In an HIV-positive sample, the BDI-FS demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach α = .84) and cut-off scores of 4 and above yielded a high sensitivity rate (90%) and 74% sensitivity for detecting patients with and without Acculturation-Participants completed the Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale (AMAS), 26 a self-report acculturation questionnaire. This brief questionnaire assesses both US and Latina/Latino (ie, culture of origin) acculturation levels and is comprised of six subscales (three for each US and Latina/Latino acculturation domain) related to language competence, cultural competency, and cultural identity.…”

Aging and HIV/AIDS: Neurocognitive Implications for Older HIV-Positive Latina/o Adults

In recent years, HIV/AIDS populations have become older and increasingly more ethnically diverse. Concurrently, the prevalence of HIV-related neurocognitive (NC) impairment remains high. This study examined the effects of age and ethnicity on NC function in HIV-positive adults. The sample (N = 126; 84 Latina/o and 42 Non-Hispanic White) completed a comprehensive NC battery. Global NC and domain average demographically-corrected t-scores were generated. There were no significant differences between Younger (<50 years) Latina/os and non-Hispanic Whites on Global NC function or NC domains (all p's >.10), with generally small effect sizes. Older Latina/os (≥50 years) were significantly more impaired than Older Non-Hispanic Whites on Correspondence should be addressed to Monica Rivera Mindt, PhD, ABPP-CN, Fordham University, Department of Psychology-DE 322, New York, NY 10024, USA. riveramindt@fordham.edu. 2009. 3,4 Estimates suggest that these trends will continue, 4 and will contribute to the "graying of HIV." HHS Public AccessDespite advancements in treatment, recent research indicates that the prevalence of HIVassociated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) continue to remain as high as 52%, similar to rates reported in the pre-cART era. 5 Emerging evidence further suggests that older PLWH may be at even higher risk for developing HAND, although this literature remains somewhat equivocal (Cherner et al., 2004;Valcour, 2004). 6,7 A number of factors may potentially confer increased risk of neurocognitive decline in older PLWH, including increased risk for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pathology, immunological changes, and expression of apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), among others. 8 However, the potential interactions of aging and HIV disease remain poorly understood. 8The risk factors for neurocognitive decline are especially salient for older racial/ethnic minority PLWHA, and this remains an understudied and poorly understood area. Not only has the HIV/AIDS population become older overall, but this population has also become increasingly ethnically diverse. In the US, the Latina/o population is disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Among people 50 years or older in the US, Latina/os are five times as likely as their white counterparts to be living with HIV, 3 and once infected, the HIV-seropositive Latina/o population carries greater disease burden compared to nonHispanic white adults. 9 For instance, HIV-seropositive Latina/o adults have a higher mortality rate, are more likely to die at significantly younger ages, and demonstrate significantly worse executive functioning (even after accounting for relevant covariates such as reading level which is a proxy for quality of education) compared to their non-Hispanic White counterparts. 10,11,12,13 The general US Latina/o population also suffers from myriad other health disparities, including higher rates of stroke, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. 10,14,15 Within an aging, HIV-seropositive, and ethnically diverse urban cohort similar to tha...
