\"A celebration of Mexican ingredients and traditions. While hosting Searching for Mexico on CNN, Eva Longoria reconnected with her Mexican roots and tasted iconic Mexican dishes like meat-stuffed Chiles en Nogada draped in a creamy walnut sauce and the Yucatán classic Pollo Asado, made with an aromatic garlic-citrus-achiote paste. In My Mexican Kitchen, she embraces the techniques and flavors she discovered and brings them home to her Southern California kitchen.

Associations of cognitive activity and access to resources with cognitive decline in a broad representation of older adults
INTRODUCTION Little is known about whether the cognitive benefits of cognitive activities and resources differ across ethno‐racial groups in late‐life. METHODS Participants were 1702 non‐Latino White, 766 non‐Latino Black, and 324 Latino adults (≈ 76 years; N = 2792). Linear mixed‐effects models tested interaction by ethno‐racial group in the associations of lifespan (past and current) cognitive activity and total (past only) cognitive resources, respectively, with change in global cognition (GC) and five cognitive domains (≈ 8 ± 5 years). RESULTS Significant interactions were observed: higher lifespan cognitive activity predicted slower decline in GC (but not in domains) among non‐Latino White participants (estimate = 0.01, standard error [SE] = 0.01) and faster decline in GC (including working memory and perceptual speed domains) among Latino participants (estimate = −0.02, SE = 0.01); no association was observed among non‐Latino Black participants. Total cognitive resources did not predict cognitive decline. DISCUSSION Findings highlight ethno‐racial differences in the association between lifespan cognitive activity and decline in global cognition among older adults. Highlights Cognitive activity predicted slower cognitive decline in non‐Latino White adults. Cognitive activity predicted faster cognitive decline in Latino adults. Cognitive activity did not predict cognitive change in non‐Latino Black adults. Cognitive resources were not associated with cognitive decline in any group.

A randomized clinical trial testing the effectiveness of an adapted online HIV/AIDS prevention intervention among Latino men
Several factors exacerbate the risk of HIV infection among Latino men, including low HIV/AIDS knowledge, low perception of HIV risk, and higher related stigma, as well as limited access to health care prevention services. HoMBRES de Familia was a randomized controlled trial to adapt and test the efficacy of an intervention that was implemented with Latino men in semi-rural and urban areas of Miami-Dade County. The HoMBRES de Familia intervention, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, aimed to reduce the risk of substance abuse, intimate partner violence, and HIV/AIDS (i.e., SAVA syndemic) among Latino men. Participants (
n
= 122) were randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group with a 1:1 ratio. Participants were interviewed by phone in the language of their preference at baseline and at 6-month follow-up after the intervention. Control group received one diabetes prevention session while the HoMBRES de Familia intervention consisted of four video sessions on HIV, substance use, and intimate partner violence prevention. Results suggest that this intervention was effective in increasing HIV knowledge and HIV self-efficacy, as well as reducing risky sexual behaviors among the intervention group participants. We discuss possible effects of the pandemic on participants’ levels of stress and alcohol use quantity and potential impacts on problematic drinking for Latino men.

Addressing Susceptibility to Non-Prescription Substances for Weight Loss Among Immigrant Hispanic College Students: A Pilot Study
Non-prescription weight loss substances, such as supplements and herbal remedies, can be harmful. Hispanic immigrant students may be highly susceptible to these substances, especially those advertised on social media. This study was a feasibility/acceptability pilot trial of an intervention to reduce this susceptibility. Latino or Hispanic immigrant students aged 18–35 were randomized to receive either a single-session, culturally tailored online intervention (
Redes Sociales Para la Salud
), or a dose-matched intervention focused on general support for immigrant students (
Immigrant Support
). Following the intervention, participants answered quantitative and open-ended questions about intervention satisfaction, and completed measures of susceptibility to non-prescription weight loss substances. Participants additionally completed measures of social media use and social norm perceptions. Fifty-five participants enrolled in the study, and 32 had primary outcome data. Participants were majority female (62.5%) and graduate students (81.3%) with a mean BMI of 24.6 ± 3.5 kg/m
2
. Ratings of intervention satisfaction were moderate (3.5–3.7 out of 5). In open-ended questions, participants identified areas of high satisfaction (cultural appropriateness, learning new information) and suggested improvements (increase interactivity, improve presentation appearance). Considering signal of an effect, participant ratings indicated that susceptibility to non-prescription weight loss substances was lower after
Redes Sociales Para la Salud
compared to the control intervention. In exploratory analyses, susceptibility to non-prescription weight loss substances was positively associated with extent of social media use (
r
= 0.41–0.46) and social norms about use of these substances (
r
= 0.38). With additional refinement, the
Redes Sociales Para la Salud
has promise for addressing susceptibility to non-prescription weight loss substances.

Latinos’ deportation fears by citizenship and legal status, 2007 to 2018
Deportation has become more commonplace in the United States since the mid-2000s. Latin American noncitizens—encompassing undocumented and documented immigrants—are targeted for deportation. Deportation’s threat also reaches naturalized and US-born citizens of Latino descent who are largely immune to deportation but whose loved ones or communities are deportable. Drawing on 6 y of data from the National Survey of Latinos, this article examines whether and how Latinos’ deportation fears vary by citizenship and legal status and over time. Compared with Latino noncitizens, Latino US citizens report lower average deportation fears. However, a more complex story emerges when examining this divide over time: Deportation fears are high but stable among Latino noncitizens, whereas deportation fears have increased substantially among Latino US citizens. These trends reflect a growing national awareness of—rather than observable changes to—deportation policy and practice since the 2016 US presidential election. The article highlights how deportation or its consequences affects a racial group that the US immigration regime targets disproportionately.
