Birth cohort trends in activity limitation among U.S. adults in established adulthood
The role of medical mistrust in racial and ethnic inequities in postpartum mental health care
Among a sample of people with postpartum depressive symptoms, we examine the relationship between medical mistrust and receipt of a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD) diagnosis and postpartum mental health care by race and ethnicity. Data are from the 2020 Postpartum Assessment of Health Survey administered at 12-14 mo. postpartum across 7 US jurisdictions. The analytical sample included 454 respondents with a positive screen on the Patie…
Park Acreage and Physical Activity Among Adolescents Living in Green Cities
Regular participation in physical activity improves health across the life course, and proximal access to parks can facilitate activity among youth. The 10-minute walk guideline demonstrates the health-promoting benefits of accessible parks. Yet, the contributions of other park attributes to young people’s activity levels are underexplored. In this study, we conceptualize how a public health threshold for park acreage could complement the current…
Measurement of Racial Microaggressions During Pregnancy and While Receiving Prenatal Care
We validate the original DLE-F and a newly developed healthcare-specific version, the DLE-PNC-F among postpartum Black women. Results from this study provide evidence for the use of the DLE among Black postpartum women, while also highlighting the need to further develop a modified version with items specifically relevant to experiences during prenatal care
The impact of Maternal Mentalizing on Racial Trauma and Substance Use Risk for Black Mothers in the United States
Maternal substance use disorder (SUD) is a significant and growing public health problem in the US. Maternal substance use destabilizes families, places children at higher risk for poor developmental outcomes, and contributes to more than $700 billion in national healthcare costs annually. Despite these realities, mothers with substance use difficulties remain an understudied and underserved population. For Black mothers in the US, the lack of re…
Experiences of In-Group and Out-Group Skin Tone Discrimination and Their Associations with Incident Cardiovascular Disease Among African American Adults in the Jackson Heart Study
Background African American adults face an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to other racial and/or ethnic groups in the USA. Although discrimination has been linked to this disparity, the relationship between skin tone discrimination and CVD incidence remains scarce. This study investigated the associations of in-group discrimination (from African American individuals) and out-group skin tone discrimination (from White indiv…
Maternal Depressive Symptomology and Small-for-Gestational-Age
Predicting Post-Disaster Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Trajectories
The mental health impact of disasters is substantial, with 30-40% of direct disaster victims developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is not yet clear why some people cope well with disaster-related trauma while others experience chronic dysfunction. Prior research on non-disaster trauma suggests that an individual's history of traumatic experiences earlier in the life course, prior to the disaster, may be a key factor in explaining v…

Water Access and Adherence Intention Among HIV-Positive Pregnant Women and New Mothers Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy in Zambia
Background: Mother-to-infant transmission of HIV is a major problem in Sub-Saharan Africa despite free or subsidized antiretroviral treatment (ART), but is significantly reduced when mothers adhere to ART. Because potable water access is limited in low-resource countries, we investigated water access and ART adherence intention among HIV-positive pregnant women and new mothers in Zambia. Methods: Our convenience sample consisted of 150 pregnant o…
Physical Activity and Its Relationship with Preterm Birth in the Presence of Depressive Symptomology
Emerging adults’ intersecting experiences of food insecurity, unsafe neighbourhoods and discrimination during the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak
Objective: To examine how food insecurity is related to emerging adults’ food behaviours and experiences of neighbourhood safety and discrimination and to identify resources needed to support their health during the COVID-19 outbreak. Design: Rapid response online survey. Participants completed the six-item US Household Food Security Survey Module, a brief measure of food insufficiency, and measures of food behaviours, neighbourhood safety and di…

Impact of attitudes and beliefs on antiretroviral treatment adherence intention among HIV-positive pregnant and breastfeeding women in Zambia
Compared to behavioral beliefs, attitudes about ART were more influential for intention to adhere. This knowledge will help inform effective and appropriate ART counseling for pregnant and breastfeeding women at different points along their ART time course
Influence of toilet access on antiretroviral adherence intention among pregnant and breastfeeding women who are HIV-positive and enrolled in Option B
We investigated the influence of toilet access on intention to adhere to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among women who are HIV-positive and enrolled in Option B+. A convenience sample of 150 women residing in Lusaka (urban) and Sinazongwe (rural) Districts of Zambia were recruited. if they were seeking pre- or post-natal care and were enrolled in Option B+. Intention to adhere to ART was assessed using four questions based on the Theory of Planned…

The Impact of Symptoms of Depression and Walking on Gestational Age at Birth in African American Women
Neighborhood disadvantage and preterm delivery in Urban African Americans
Evidence suggests that neighborhood disadvantage predicts preterm delivery (PTD). However, the design of most existing studies precludes within-group analyses, which would allow the identification segments of the population at highest risk, as well as preventive factors. African Americans (AA) are disproportionately affected by PTD, are disproportionately concentrated in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and frequently use religious coping in response…
