A logic model for alternative response programs to guide public health research and practice
Immigration policy as public health policy
Although President Trump was unable to pass new immigration laws in his first administration, he successfully employed executive orders, rulemaking, and administrative practices that altered significant policies, including benefits programs, immigration enforcement, and criteria for admissibility to the United States. The public health consequences of immigration policies under Trump’s first presidency, deeply punitive immigration policies at the…
The Place Where Danger Waits”
Building Trust
Saying more than her name
Black women and girls (BWGs) face an elevated risk of being killed by police, yet few studies have focused on the proximal factors increasing their exposure to these deadly encounters. This paper elucidates the determinants and features of fatal police encounters with BWGs over a 20-year period. We examined (1) the initial cause of police contact, (2) how the encounter unfolded and escalated to a fatality, and (3) trends in factors salient to how…
Community-engaged Research Partnerships as Healing Spaces for Health Professionals and Researchers
Drawing from collective experiences in our capacity building project: Health Equity Activation Research Team for Inclusion Health, we argue that while community-engaged partnerships tend to focus on understanding health inequities and developing solutions, they can be healing spaces for health professionals and researchers. Data were obtained from a 15-month participatory ethnography, including focus groups and interviews. Ethnographic notes and …
Cumulative Police Exposures, Police Violence Stress, and Depressive Symptoms
Psychological distress and life satisfaction among Black working adults in the U.S. during the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted Black Americans. Rates of hospitalization, mortality, and morbidity increased and racial inequities in unemployment, job benefits, and working conditions widened. This study identifies specific factors associated with the well-being of Black adults in the U.S. workforce one year into the pandemic. Data came from the 2021 National Health Interview Survey (N = 1,984). Ordinary least squares regressi…
Past Is Prologue
Colonialism underlies the commodification of health care in the United States and continues to harm well-being among Black Americans. We present four recommendations for addressing its health consequences: (1) Investments in epigenetic research to improve our understanding of how systemic oppression becomes biology. (2) Centering Black experiences and knowledge traditions in education, practice, and policy. (3) Support for Black scholars, trainee…
Inequities in Anticipatory Stress of Police Brutality and Depressed Mood Among Women
Mechanisms Connecting Police Brutality, Intersectionality, and Women’s Health Over the Life Course
Police brutality harms women. Structural racism and structural sexism expose women of color to police brutality through 4 interrelated mechanisms: (1) desecration of Black womanhood, (2) criminalization of communities of color, (3) hypersexualization of Black and Brown women, and (4) vicarious marginalization. We analyze intersectionality as a framework for understanding racial and gender determinants of police brutality, arguing that public heal…
Health Justice
Health crises have a disproportionate impact on communities that are marginalized by systems of oppression such as racism and capitalism. Benefits of advances such as in the prevention and treatment of HIV disease are unequally distributed. Intersecting factors including poverty, homophobia, homelessness, racism, and mass incarceration expose marginalized populations to greater risks while limiting access to resources that buffer these risks. Sim…
Anticipation of racially motivated police brutality and youth mental health
Ghanaian views of short-term medical missions
BACKGROUND: Various governments in Ghana have tried to improve healthcare in the country. Despite these efforts, meeting health care needs is a growing concern to government and their citizens. Short term medical missions from other countries are one of the responses to meet the challenges of healthcare delivery in Ghana. This research aimed to understand Ghanaian perceptions of short-term missions from the narratives of host country staff involv…

Police Encounters as Stressors
Stress researchers have emphasized the relationship between social stress and mental health. However, research investigating police brutality as a stressor is scarce. The authors conceptualize police brutality as a stressor, examining racial variation in its effects on mental health. Data came from the Survey of the Health of Urban Residents in the United States ( n = 4,389). Negative encounters with the police were found to be associated with de…

Police Brutality and Mistrust in Medical Institutions
Pathways to Mental Health Services and Perceptions about the Effectiveness of Treatment
The gap between need and effective treatment for mental health problems continues to be a challenge for researchers and policymakers. Much of the attention has been on differences in treatment rates, with insufficient attention to variation in pathways that people take into treatment. Individuals may choose to seek help but may also be substantially influenced by others or coerced into care. The chances of each type of pathway are influenced by s…
Mental health care among blacks in America
Mental health systems should confront racism and engage the historical and contemporary racial contexts within which black people experience mental health problems. Critical self-reflection at the individual level and racial equity analysis at the organizational level are critical

The Meaning and Predictive Value of Self-rated Mental Health among Persons with a Mental Health Problem
Self-rated health is a valid measure of health that predicts quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Its predictive value reflects a conceptualization of health that goes beyond a traditional medical model. However, less is known about self-rated mental health (SRMH). Using data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey ( N = 2,547), we examine how rating your mental health as good-despite meeting criteria for a mental health problem-predicts …
Police Brutality and Black Health
We investigated links between police brutality and poor health outcomes among Blacks and identified five intersecting pathways: (1) fatal injuries that increase population-specific mortality rates; (2) adverse physiological responses that increase morbidity; (3) racist public reactions that cause stress; (4) arrests, incarcerations, and legal, medical, and funeral bills that cause financial strain; and (5) integrated oppressive structures that ca…

Disability, Health Insurance, and Psychological Distress among US Adults
Structural resources, including access to health insurance, are understudied in relation to the stress process. Disability increases the likelihood of mental health problems, but health insurance may moderate this relationship. We explore health insurance coverage as a moderator of the relationship between disability and psychological distress. A pooled sample from 2008 to 2010 (N = 57,958) was obtained from the Integrated Health Interview Series…
Postpartum Depression in an Online Community of Lesbian Mothers
A growing number of lesbians are choosing to conceive and raise children. Online communities for lesbian mothers are increasingly popular and discussion forums specific to postpartum depression (PPD) are emerging. Online ethnography (netnography) and content analysis were employed to assess the role of an online forum in PPD and to investigate how the shared experiences of lesbian birth mothers with PPD might inform clinical practice. Disclosure,…
