This draft appears to contain text generated by a large language model (such as ChatGPT). You cannot use LLMs to generate article content.

LLM-generated pages with certain obvious signs of being machine generated may be deleted without notice.

These tools are prone to specific issues that violate our policies:

hallucinations: they often invent false information and cite non-existent references.
unencyclopedic tone: they tend to be vague, promotional, or essay-like, rather than neutral and factual.
copyright issues: they may closely paraphrase existing text, leading to copyright violations.

Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.

See the advice page on large language models for more information.

This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Marco Yitzhak Funez

Marco Yitzhak Funez (born December 24), also known professionally as Marco Yitzhak Funez-Ponce, is a Honduran-American behavioral health researcher, clinical psychology professional, and independent musician based in Florida. He is known for his academic research on clinical decision-making models regarding substance use screening, as well as his alternative rock project, To Misuse.

Early life and education

Funez is of Honduran descent. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida (USF), where he was a recipient of the USF Latino Scholarship, awarded through the Sheriff's Hispanic Advisory Council (SHAC). He later attended the University of Florida (UF), where he earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology. During his time at UF, his academic focus centered on behavioral medicine, pain psychology, and patient decision-making processes.

Academic career and research

Funez's research primarily investigates clinical judgment, healthcare decision-making models, and systemic healthcare disparities, particularly within Hispanic and Latino populations. His graduate research utilized Brunswikian lens modeling and behavioral vignettes to simulate clinical environments. His prominent work, Understanding Medical and Dental Trainee Decision Making in Alcohol Screening: A Lens Model Vignette Investigation, examined how future medical and dental providers evaluate alcohol use and binge drinking risks during routine patient screenings. His findings sought to isolate the underlying cognitive and demographic factors contributing to treatment disparities in clinical settings. During his research career, he has been affiliated with the UF Department of Clinical and Health Psychology and collaborated with researchers associated with the UF Center for Pain Research and Behavioral Health.

Musical career

Under the stage moniker To Misuse, Funez operates a solo reverb rock, indie, and alternative rock music project based out of Tampa, Florida. The project is characterized by atmospheric, guitar-driven arrangements and minimalist indie production. After distributing early demos and singles independently across streaming platforms such as To Misuse on Spotify and Apple Music, To Misuse announced the release of a debut EP titled Rehabilitation (Demos), scheduled for release on July 17, 2026. According to promotional materials, the four-track project explores themes of introspection and personal recovery written over a two-year period.
