When Race Becomes Central
The National Survey of American Life (NSAL) has advanced the sociology of Black American life, documenting how racism, resilience, and identity shape well-being. Building on this legacy, we examined how racial centrality (i.e., how central being Black is to one’s identity) is associated with depressive symptoms and buffers against everyday discrimination among 1,627 African American adults in the NSAL. Latent profile analysis identified three dis…
Neighborhood Racial Composition, Socioeconomic Status, and Obesity Among Older Black Adults
Objectives Obesity is common among older Black adults, but its underlying drivers, such as neighborhood racial composition (NRC), remain understudied. This study examined the association between NRC and obesity among older Black adults, evaluating the role of individual-level socioeconomic status (SES). Methods Data from the Nashville Stress and Health Study was linked to five-year estimates from the American Community Survey. Obesity was defined…
Race, Age, and Allostatic Load Among Men in the Nashville Stress and Health Study
High allostatic load (AL), a measure of physiological dysregulation, has been linked with premature morbidity and mortality. There is a paucity of research assessing AL among non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) American men of various age groups. This study investigated racial differences in AL among NHB and NHW adult men and assessed whether racial differences in AL varied by age. Data were drawn from NHB ( n = 232) and NHW ( n…
Sacred For Whom? Race Ideology and Reactions to January 6th
The January 6 th insurrection at the U.S. capital was an eye-opening moment for many Americans. With the 2024 election cycle in swing, members of the Democratic Party are using January 6 th as a rallying call for the need to protect democracy. But were the events of January 6 th viewed equally among liberals? We argue that the events of January 6 th resonate for a particular demographic well-informed liberal White voters. We argue that liberal mi…
The 2024 Presidential Election Through Latino Lenses
This paper examines the Latino vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. We examine the factors that were most important for Latino voters and investigate how these shaped their candidate choice. Specifically, we argue that it is important to explore the demographic heterogeneity within the Latino category, as well as to explore the various issues that different subsets of the group prioritize. In doing so, we focus on differences by gender an…
Big-5 personality traits as predictors of allostatic load in Latino Americans
Objectives Allostatic load (AL) refers to the measure of cumulative wear and tear resulting from chronic stress and life events. AL presents adverse consequences for a diverse range of health conditions, and Latino populations show a high risk for elevated AL. This study aimed to test the Big-5 personality traits as possible predictors of AL in Latinos. Methods Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, we examined the Big-5 and AL connecti…
Relationship quality moderates the association between neighborhood disadvantage and cognition among Mexican American older adults
These findings suggest that interventions to improve cognition among Mexican American older adults in disadvantaged neighborhoods should consider relationship quality and gender in health promotion efforts
Rooted in identity
These findings underscore chronic stress as a critical, understudied risk factor for Black suicide outcomes and highlight racial centrality as a culturally meaningful protective factor with implications for identity-affirming prevention strategies
Latino Tú Latino Yo
This paper examines the rise of group consciousness in California during the 1990s. Many scholars have studied the increase in political participation in California and have alluded to an increase in group consciousness, but studies have not captured whether or not this actually exists. In this paper, I use seven surveys conducted between 1989 and 2004 and leverage the timing of these surveys to examine the role of perceived discrimination on Lat…
Research Gaps and Priorities in Hispanic/Latine Cognitive Aging and Health
The 2024 International Conference on Aging in the Americas (ICAA) explored cognitive aging, health policy, environmental factors, and migration among Hispanic/Latine populations. The event aimed to identify social disparities, institutional roles in dementia care, and financial support mechanisms for caregivers. A redesigned consensus-building approach using Mentimeter enabled quicker, real-time feedback across four panels: (1) Cognitive Aging, (…
Interplay of Neighborhood and Psychosocial Factors in Predicting Trajectories of Allostatic Load Among Latinx Adults in the United States
Research highlights the independent roles of neighborhood and psychosocial risk and protective factors for accelerated physiological aging. However, the combined role of neighborhood and psychosocial factors for allostatic load among Latinx adults in the U.S. remains unclear. Informed by the Health Disparities Framework, the study aims are to: (1) examine the direct associations between neighborhood (cohesion and disorder) and psychosocial (lonel…
Making Use of Models
Jacob Bohé, Charlotte Feidicker, Angela Gutierrez, Frederic Kunkel, Laura Maria Niewöhner, Malte Wittmaack shed light on the question of how models and modeling could be applied to historical research. Iná three sections, different research fields in History will be explored concerning this question, i.e., economic history, situations of cultural contact, denazification, and the use of models in Digital Humanities. In every section, two authors d…
Alzheimer’s Centers in US Hospitals
Objectives: To investigate the availability of Alzheimer's Centers (ACs) in US hospitals. Methods: Utilizing the American Hospital Association Annual Survey, Area Health Resource File, and US Census ( n = 3251), we employed multivariable logistic regression to examine hospital, county, and regional predictors of AC availability. Results: Large hospitals (>399 beds) had approximately 14 times higher odds of having an AC than small hospitals ( Disc…
A Latent Class Analysis of Personal Coping Resources and Depressive Symptoms Among Middle-Aged and Older Latinx Adults
Objectives: To identify coping profiles and evaluate their implications for depressive symptoms among Latinx adults. Methods: Data come from a community-dwelling sample of Latinx adults ages 45+ in Florida ( N = 461). Latent class analysis was used to identify profiles of personal coping resources based on patterns across spirituality (spiritual coping, divine fate), ethnic identity (centrality, connectedness), and personal control (mastery, self…
Rural–Urban Health Care Cost Differences Among Latinx Adults With and Without Dementia in the United States
Health care costs are disproportionately higher among Latinx rural, relative to urban, residents. Addressing health care costs among Latinx rural residents is a public health priority
When Resilience Becomes Risk
There is a well-established link between psychosocial risks and psychological health among African American (AA) men. Yet, the psychosocial sources and physical health consequences of resilience (i.e., the ability to maintain good health despite adversity) remain underexplored. Using data from 283 AA men in the Nashville Stress and Health Study, the present study investigated the links between psychosocial resilience and allostatic load (AL), a b…
Loneliness Exacerbates the Association Between Bodily Pain and Depressive Symptoms Among Middle-Aged and Older Latinx Adults
Objectives: To investigate the associations between three bodily pain dimensions (intensity, frequency, severity) and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older Latinxs ages 40-94 and to determine whether loneliness conditioned the pain-depressive symptoms associations. Methods: Data are from a community-based study of community-dwelling residents in Florida ( N = 527). Multivariable linear regression models assessed the impact of each pain …
Discrimination, Racial Identity, and Hypertension Among Black Americans Across Young, Middle, and Older Adulthood
Findings underscore the significance of racial identity as sources of both psychosocial vulnerability and resilience for minority aging. Clinicians and public health professionals should consider racial identity beyond young adulthood to promote healthy aging via hypertension management among Black Americans
Mentoring Experiences and Publication Productivity among Early Career Biomedical Investigators and Trainees
Grant-writing mentorship is particularly important for publication productivity. Future research should investigate whether grant-writing mentorship differentially impacts URM and WRG investigators and should investigate how and why grant-writing mentorship fosters increased publication productivity

What motivated Latinos to turnout in 2020 in the middle of a global health pandemic that has devastated their community financially, physically and mentally? How might we explain Latino support for each one of the Presidential candidates in the context of these crises? In this paper, we tackle these questions through an investigation of the factors that drove Latino turnout in 2020 and what might explain Latino favorability for Joe Biden and Dona…
Early Life Racial Discrimination, Racial Centrality, and Allostatic Load Among African American Older Adults
Findings highlight the multiple pathways through which racism-related stressors and psychosocial resources interact to shape physiological dysregulation in later life and underscore the health significance of racial identity for older African Americans. Clinicians and public health professionals should assess early life stressors and foster psychosocial resilience to promote healthy aging
Laboring With the Heart
Little is known about promotoras' professional experiences engaging in Latinx health promotion. In this promotora-led community-based participatory study, we purposively recruited and interviewed 30 Spanish-speaking promotoras who worked in Los Angeles County and who had at least 5 years of experience as promotoras. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, findings revealed promotoras self-identified as health professionals who offered un…
Loneliness, Cardiovascular Disease, and Diabetes Prevalence in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos Sociocultural Ancillary Study
Somos Más
While evidence from California suggests that group threat mobilizes Latinos, nationally, there has never been a test case for this theory. In 2016, the Trump campaign provided a clear case of group threat through his divisive rhetoric and policy proposals targeting Mexican Americans and immigrants. Using the 2016 Collaborative Multi-Racial Post-Election Survey (CMPS) data, we find evidence that Latino voters were politically motivated by Trump’s …
