The structure of religion and spirituality in a diverse sample of adults in the United States
Objective: This paper details psychometric analyses of religion and spirituality (R/S) measures in a diverse sample of U.S. adults in the Study on Stress, Spirituality, and Health (SSSH). Methods: participants. Given our goal of identifying a robust, parsimonious set of R/S measures for common use in U.S. cohort studies, we analyzed the structure of individual R/S items in a combined sample and disregarded whether items were part of a pre-existin…
Perceived Experiences of racism in Relation to Genome-Wide DNA Methylation and Epigenetic Aging in the Black Women’s Health Study
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Occupational Health
Disparities in workplace safety are a significant contributor to racial and ethnic health disparities. Addressing both occupational concentration and within-occupation disparities is essential for improving workplace safety and reducing health inequities among workers
The Association Between Perceived Discrimination and Body Mass Index (BMI) Among Asian American Women Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic
We examined the association between perceived discrimination and body mass index (BMI) in Asian American (AA) women before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data used were from the Epidemiology/Epigenetics of Asian Women's Action for Resilience and Empowerment (Epi AWARE) study, which enrolled 157 AA women aged 18 to 59 between December 2019 and September 2022. Two sets of questions measured "everyday" (e.g., "How often do people act as if yo…
The Association Between Racial Microaggressions and Stereotypes and Self-Rated Mental Health in Asian Women
The impacts of microaggressions and the Model Minority Myth on self-rated mental health among Asian American (AA) women are unclear. A total of 152 AA women completed an online questionnaire including select items from the Racial and Ethnic Microaggressions Scale (REMS) and the Internalization of the Model Minority Myth Measure (IM-4). Logistic regression was used to estimate associations (odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals) between the REM…
Racialized economic segregation in relation to fecundability in a preconception cohort study
Racialized economic segregation is a known determinant of health disparities that has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, no study has investigated its association with fecundability, the per-cycle probability of conception. We analyzed data from 10,438 U.S. participants enrolled in Pregnancy Study Online (2013-2022), an internet-based preconception cohort study. Eligible participants were aged 21-45 years, assigned female a…

Covid-19-Related Racial Discrimination during Lockdown and Its Impact on Asian American Women
During the lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asian American (AA) women have experienced a surge in anti-Asian hate crimes and racial discrimination, and a majority of studies have quantitatively shown the negative impact of these incidents on Asian Americans' well-being. Our research expands on the existing literature by qualitatively investigating types of COVID-19-related racial discrimination during lockdown and its impacts on changes …
Experiences of Covid-19-related anti-Asian discrimination and affective reactions in a multiple race sample of U.S. young adults
Religion and Spirituality among American Indian, South Asian, Black, Hispanic/Latina, and White Women in the Study on Stress, Spirituality, and Health
Social scientists have increasingly recognized the lack of diversity in survey research on American religion, resulting in a dearth of data on religion and spirituality (R/S) in understudied racial and ethnic groups. At the same time, epidemiological studies have increasingly diversified their racial and ethnic representation, but have collected few R/S measures to date. With a particular focus on American Indian and South Asian women (in additio…
Predictors of self‐reported oral health in the Black Women's Health Study
The oral health of US Black women is poorly understood. Correlates of oral health in the BWHS are largely consistent with what has been observed in other populations
Census 2020—A Preventable Public Health Catastrophe
Experiences of Racism and Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration Among First-Time Mothers of the Black Women's Health Study
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in Relation to All-cause, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Mortality in the Black Women’s Health Study
Lower neighborhood SES is associated with greater risk of mortality among Black women. The presence of the association even among women with high levels of education suggests that individual SES may not overcome the unfavorable influence of neighborhood deprivation
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in Relation to Serum Biomarkers in the Black Women’s Health Study
Racism, Segregation, and Risk of Obesity in the Black Women's Health Study
We assessed the relation of experiences of racism to the incidence of obesity and the modifying impact of residential racial segregation in the Black Women's Health Study, a follow-up study of US black women. Racism scores were created from 8 questions asked in 1997 and 2009 about the frequency of "everyday" racism (e.g., "people act as if you are dishonest") and of "lifetime" racism (e.g., unfair treatment on the job). Residential segregation wa…
The Relationship Between Rural Status, Individual Characteristics, and Self‐Rated Health in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Purpose: To examine rural status and social factors as predictors of self‐rated health in community‐dwelling adults in the United States. Methods: This study uses multinomial logistic and cumulative logistic models to evaluate the associations of interest in the 2006 US Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a cross‐sectional survey of 347,709 noninstitutionalized adults. Findings: Self‐rated health was poorer among rural residents, compared…
Racial Discrimination and Breast Cancer Incidence in US Black Women
Perceived discrimination may contribute to somatic disease. The association between perceived discrimination and breast cancer incidence was assessed in the Black Women's Health Study. In 1997, participants completed questions on perceived discrimination in two domains: "everyday" discrimination (e.g., being treated as dishonest) and major experiences of unfair treatment due to race (job, housing, and police). Cox proportional hazards models were…
Neighborhood Racial Composition and Perceptions of Racial Discrimination
Little is known about the effects of social context or “place” factors (e.g., characteristics of local populations) on African Americans' perceptions and experiences of racism. Using data from 42,445 U.S. black women collected during the 1997 follow-up wave of the Black Women's Health Study, we investigated the association between neighborhood racial composition (“percent black” at the block-group level in 2000 Census data) and perceptions of rac…
Relation Between Neighborhood Median Housing Value and Hypertension Risk Among Black Women in the United States
Objectives. We examined the relation between median housing value and hypertension risk among US Black women. Methods. We gathered data from the Black Women’s Health Study, a prospective follow-up of 59000 Black women aged 21 to 69 years in 1995. Median housing value from US census data was used to measure neighborhood socioeconomic status. Cases of hypertension were identified through postal questionnaires mailed in 1997, 1999, and 2001. Cluster…
