Air Pollution and Mental Health Among African Americans and Caribbean Blacks
Air pollution disproportionately burdens Black communities in the United States and may contribute to mental health inequities. Guided by the riskscape and exposure–disease–stress frameworks, this study examined associations between ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and mental health disorders among African Americans and Caribbean Blacks. We merged National Survey of American Life data (N = 5,178) with census-tract spatially resolved PM2.5 …
Caregiving Stress and Sleep Health
This study examined the associations of role overload, negative social interactions, sleep, and the mediating effects of religious involvement among Black American caregivers. Data were drawn from the 2017 National Study of Caregiving and the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Participants included Black American caregivers of Medicare enrollees aged 65 and older (N = 699). Role overload was positively associated with sleep disturbance and i…
Perceptions of anti-racism efforts and mental health among students in higher education in the United States
Background: Anti-racism efforts are imperative for campus communities, yet little is known about whether perceiving their presence on campuses relates to a range of mental health outcomes among students. Methods: = 110,203). Using multivariable logistic regression, we examined the associations between perceptions of anti-racism efforts and several mental health outcomes. Results: Individuals who disagreed that their schools combatted racism in th…
Ethno-racial differences in anxiety and depression impairment among emerging adults in higher education
Self-reported anxiety and depression related impairment varies by ethno-racial group, with Black, Hispanic/Latinx, and Asian students reporting lower impairment compared to White students at higher levels of symptom severity. These findings open the possibility that racial differences in the impairment criterion of clinical diagnoses may explain some of the racial paradox
Chronic stress exposure, social support, and sleep quality among African Americans
Together, these findings underscore the detriment of chronic stress exposure to African Americans' sleep quality and suggest that extended family members are effective stress coping resources and play an important role in this population's sleep quality
Depression impairment among young adult college students
White students may be more likely than Black students to report significant impairment at high levels of depression. These findings open the possibility that racial differences in the impairment criterion of clinical diagnoses may explain some the racial depression paradox
Religious Involvement and Sleep Among Older African Americans
Objective: This study sought to determine whether religious involvement is associated with sleep quality in a nationally representative sample of older African Americans. Methods: The analytic sample included African American respondents aged 55+ from the National Survey of American Life-Reinterview ( N = 459). Religious involvement variables included service attendance, reading religious texts, watching religious television programs, listening t…

Linear regressions were used to assess the associations between negative interactions with family and church members and happiness…
Perceived colorism and lifetime psychiatric disorders among Black American adults
Church-based social interactions and psychotic experiences among Black Americans
Religious attendance has generally been salutary for mental health, though recent evidence suggests that church attendance has no significant relation with psychotic experiences. This study will examine how various types of church-based social interactions might be related to psychotic experiences. We analysed data from the National Survey of American Life –a representative sample of Black Americans in the United States –and used multivariable lo…
Allergies, infections, and psychiatric disorders among Black Americans
Objectives: An emerging body of literature shows that allergies and infections are associated with psychiatric disorders, though there is little research to confirm these associations among Black Americans in the United States. Design: We analyzed data from the National Survey of American Life, and used multivariable logistic regression models to examine the associations between past 12-month allergies/infections and past 12-month psychiatric dis…
Profiles of sleep and depression risk among Caribbean Blacks
Objectives: Sleep problems are associated with a host of psychiatric disorders and have been attributed to race disparities in health and wellness. Studies of sleep and mental health do not typically consider within-group differences among Blacks. Thus, our understanding of how the sleep-mental health relationship among Caribbean Blacks is limited. This study identified sleep profiles among Caribbean-born Blacks who reside in the United States. D…
Fundamental causes of barriers to participation in Alzheimer’s clinical research among African Americans
Objectives: African Americans have a significantly higher risk than Whites for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), but show lower participation in AD clinical trials. Studies of African Americans' involvement in clinical research have identified fear and mistrust of research as barriers to participation. Historical occurrences of unethical research practices are often cited as the source of these attitudes, but underlying factors such as African…

Objective: This study examined the role of stress in the association among physical activity, obesity, and depression among women. The extent to which physical activity moderated these relationships was also examined. Design: Data from the National Survey of American Life ( N = 3235) and multivariable regression analyses were used to examine the effects of chronic stress, material hardship, racial discrimination, and physical activity on obesity …
Social Relationships and Salivary Telomere Length Among Middle-Aged and Older African American and White Adults
Study findings highlight the role of social relationships in physiological deterioration among middle-aged and older adults and identify a potential mechanism whereby race is linked to accelerated biological aging. Findings highlight the importance of considering positive and negative aspects of social relationships to understand the consequences of social connections for cellular aging in diverse populations
Discrimination, Serious Psychological Distress, and Church-Based Emotional Support Among African American Men Across the Life Span
This is the first study to document relationships among discrimination, SPD, and church-based support in a nationally representative sample of African American men. Overall, rather than revealing a stress-buffering function, findings were consistent with the resource mobilization perspective of social support, indicating that higher levels of assistance from church networks are provided when individuals experience high levels of both discriminati…
Extended Family Support Networks of Caribbean Black Adults in the United States
This article investigates the extended family social support networks of Caribbean Black adults (Afro-Caribbeans). Although there are several ethnographic accounts of familial ties and support exchanges among Black Caribbean immigrants, only a handful of studies use quantitative data. This article uses data from the National Survey of American Life, which contains the first national probability sample of Caribbean Blacks in the United States. Age…
Lifetime Family Violence and Depression

This study used data fr…
Extended Family Support and Relationship Satisfaction Among Married, Cohabiting, and Romantically Involved African Americans and Black Caribbeans
Discrimination, attribution, and racial group identification
There is increasing evidence that experiencing discrimination may contribute to poor mental health among Black Americans. However, few studies have distinguished between discrimination attributed to race versus other forms of discrimination or have compared differences in their psychological implications. Using nationally representative data on 5,191 Black Americans in the National Survey of American Life (NSAL; 2001-2003), this study examined se…
Conceptualizing Racial Disparities in Health
Although racial disparities in health have been documented both historically and in more contemporary contexts, the frameworks used to explain these patterns have varied, ranging from earlier theories regarding innate racial differences in biological vulnerability, to more recent theories focusing on the impact of social inequalities. However, despite increasing evidence for the lack of a genetic definition of race, biological explanations for th…
Correlates of Psychological Distress and Major Depressive Disorder Among African American Men
This study examines the demographic correlates of depressive symptoms, serious psychological distress (SPD), and major depressive disorder (MDD; 12-month and lifetime prevalence) among a national sample of African American men.

Do experiences of racial discrimination predict cardiovascular disease among African American men? The moderating role of internalized negative racial group attitudes
Social Support, Negative Social Interactions, and Psychological Well‐Being
Research examining the relationship between social support and psychological well-being has largely ignored the negative side of social interactions. However, empirical evidence suggests that negative interactions can potentially be more harmful than social support is helpful. This article critically reviews the literature investigating the relationship between social support and negative social interactions and their simultaneous effect on psych…
Discriminatory Experiences and Depressive Symptoms among African American Women
Mental Health Services in Faith Communities
A small but growing literature recognizes the varied roles that clergy play in identifying and addressing mental health needs in their congregations. Although the role of the clergy in mental health services delivery has not been studied extensively, a few investigations have attempted a systematic examination of this area. This article examines the research, highlighting available information with regard to the process by which mental health nee…
Religious coping among African Americans, Caribbean Blacks and Non‐Hispanic Whites
This study examined demographic predictors of attitudes regarding religious coping (i.e., prayer during stressful times and look to God for support, strength and guidance) within a national sample of African Americans, Caribbean Blacks, and non‐Hispanic Whites (National Survey of American Life). The findings demonstrate significant Black‐White differences in attitudes regarding religious coping with higher endorsements of religious coping among A…

Profiles of depressive symptoms among African Americans and Caribbean Blacks
Stress, Marital Satisfaction, and Psychological Distress Among African Americans
This study examines relationships among financial strain, unfair treatment, and martial satisfaction among African Americans. Using data from the National Survey of American Life, findings indicated that social stressors that occur inside of the home (i.e., financial strain) as well as those experienced outside of the home (i.e., unfair treatment) have negative consequences for marital quality and psychological distress. Furthermore, the combinat…
Social Support, Traumatic Events, and Depressive Symptoms Among African Americans
Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationships among stress, social support, negative interaction, and mental health in a sample of African American men and women between ages 18 and 54 (N= 591) from the National Comorbidity Study. The study findings indicated that social support decreased the number of depressive symptoms, did not mitigate the effects of stress, and was reduced in response to financial strain. Financial strai…
