178CITY DEPARTMENT FOR THE AGING), ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) The Successful Aging in Longevity (SAIL) program, funded by the NYS Office of Mental Health, is designed to facilitate aging-in-place for older adults in lowincome, marginalized communities affected by COVID19. The aim of this study is to examine the type and intensity of needs facing these older adults. Findings from 143 patients suggest they require services because of high comorbidity, as well as gaps in housing, food security, and care coordination.POSTER 72THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GRATITUDE, SELFESTEEM, PERCEIVED STRESS, AND LIFE SATISFACTIONJOHN MCCULLAGH (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), MAKAYLA PAIN (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), BROOKE FRIERSON (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), MARIA ZAPATA (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT) The purpose of this study to examine the relationship between gratitude, self-esteem, perceived stress, and life satisfaction in a sample of adult participants. Specifically, a path analytic model will be used to explore the relationships between these variables, with life-satisfaction being outcome variable of interest. Both the direct and indirect effects of gratitude, stress, and self-esteem on the outcome variable of life satisfaction will be examined.POSTER 73TRAUMA EXPOSURE AND FRONTAL ALPHA ASYMMETRY IN ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND PTSDNATHAN GENGO (RUTGERS THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY - NEW BRUNSWICK), ERICK J. FEDORENKO (BROWN UNIVERSITY), PATRICK V. BARNWELL (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY), RICHARD J. CONTRADA (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) We investigated the relationships between trauma exposure and anxiety, depression, PTSD, and frontal cortical alpha asymmetry, utilizing data collected from college undergraduates. Regression analysis suggested that experiencing more traumatic events overall was related to PTSD symptoms, while experiencing traumatic events firsthand predicted anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms. The data further indicated that cortical alpha asymmetry at the lateral frontal electrode sites was associated with PTSD symptoms.POSTER 74UNACKNOWLEDGED RAPE IN A SAMPLE OF VICTIMS AND PERPETRATORSJESSICA SANTOS (UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH), CHLOE R. GRABANKSI (UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH), LACIE ALT (UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH), MARY KOSS (UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA, MEL AND ENID ZUCKERMAN COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH), RAINA V. LAMADE (UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH) Unacknowledged rape occurs when an individual fails to label their experience as rape even though it meets the legal and behavioral criteria (Koss, 1985). This phenomenon has been studied primarily in female rape victims. To date, no one has explored this in male perpetrators. This poster will present findings of unacknowledged rape from both perpetrators and victims.POSTER 75UNMASKING THE CONSTRUCT OF MALE DEPRESSION: A SYSTEMATIZED REVIEW OF PSYCHOMETRIC TOOLSBRANDON HOANG (TEACHERS COLLEGE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY) This systematized review of 21 studies evaluates the psychometric properties of three male-specific depression scales. All tools captured symptoms associated with masculine norms, like aggression and risk-taking. The MDRS-22 was the most robust, particularly in predicting suicide risk. Inconsistencies in methodology and scarce reliability studies indicate that further refinement of tools is needed. This review highlights the clinical relevance of gender-sensitive tools and the need to define male-specific depression as a distinct construct.POSTER 76THE IMPACT OF HOPELESSNESS ON TREATMENT ATTENDANCE IN SUICIDAL VETERANSDAVID MAY (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY--BROOKLYN, VA NEW YORK HARBOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM), CORY CHEN (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY--BROOKLYN, VA NEW YORK HARBOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM), RACHAEL MILLER (VA NEW JERSEY HEALTHCARE SYSTEM), LAUREN ST.
