  • The structure of religion and spirituality in a diverse sample of adults in the United States

    Open AccessWade C Rowatt, Shawn J Latendresse et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Religion and…2026

    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…

  • Forgiveness and health across racial-ethnic cohorts

    Laura Upenieks, Blake Victor Kent et al.ARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2024

    Empirical research has found a robust association between greater forgiveness and well-being, but we know little of how this may operate in diverse samples of respondents. This study draws on data from the Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII; White women) and the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) to address this gap and test the possible moderating role of religious attendance and perceived closeness with God. Reg…

  • Belief in miracles, religious/spiritual struggles, and depressive symptoms

    Laura Upenieks, Blake Victor Kent et al.ARTICLEMental Health Religion & Culture2024

    Belief in miracles is widespread, extending to many religious traditions, societies, and cultures. This study examines the relationship between a belief that God heals physical illness through miracles with depressive symptoms, and the possible moderating role of religious/spiritual (R/S) struggles in buffering or exacerbating this relationship. We utilize the Study on Stress, Spirituality and Health (SSSH), which provides a wide array of R/S dat…

  • Plasma Metabolomic Signature of Early Abuse in Middle-Aged Women

    Tianyi Huang, Oana A Zeleznik et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2022

    OBJECTIVE: Metabolomic profiling may provide insights into biological mechanisms underlying the strong epidemiologic links observed between early abuse and cardiometabolic disorders in later life. METHODS: We examined the associations between early abuse and midlife plasma metabolites in two nonoverlapping subsamples from the Nurses' Health Study II, comprising 803 (mean age = 40 years) and 211 women (mean age = 61 years). Liquid chromatography-t…

    BACKGROUND: Data for front-line health-care workers and risk of COVID-19 are limited. We sought to assess risk of COVID-19 among front-line health-care workers compared with the general community and the effect of personal protective equipment (PPE) on risk. METHODS: We did a prospective, observational cohort study in the UK and the USA of the general community, including front-line health-care workers, using self-reported data from the COVID Sym…
