Abortion Policy as Structural Sexism
Both pre- and post- Dobbs research has found that policies restricting abortion access are associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Previous research demonstrates stigma within reproductive health as a fundamental cause of health inequalities. In this study, we differentiate between state-level policies that restrict access to care compared to policies that foster uncertainty, stigmatize, or induce shame among abo…

Structural heteropatriarchy and maternal cardiovascular morbidities
Abortion and Women's Future Socioeconomic Attainment
Abortion is a safe and common medical procedure. Roughly one in four women in the United States will have an abortion before the end of her reproductive years. Because of how common this experience is and how rapidly abortion policy is shifting, understanding the relationship between abortion and women's socioeconomic futures is well worth exploring. Extant research has demonstrated that the transition to parenthood is a critical inflection point…
Methods for studying structural oppression in quantitative family research
Researchers have long documented the impact of social inequalities on family life. Most family research has focused on inequalities at the individual and family levels, and extant studies on macro-level conditions have primarily examined economic conditions and specific family-focused social policies. Yet, an emerging body of largely conceptual research suggests that structural inequities also have enormous power to shape families. Structural rac…
Abortion Policy Context in Adolescence and Men’s Future Educational Achievement
Examining Differences in Alcohol and Smoking Behaviors between Parenting and Nonparenting Lesbian Women
BACKGROUND: The transition to parenthood is a significant life event that has implications for health behaviors and health. Few studies have examined alcohol use and smoking by parenthood status (nonparent vs. parent) among women who identify as lesbian. METHODS: This study used data from two longitudinal studies, the Chicago Health and Life Experiences of Women Study (n = 135) and the U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (n = 116), to…
Understanding the Link Between Adolescent Same-Gender Contact and Unintended Pregnancy
State-Level Regulations Regarding the Protection of Sexual Minorities and Birth Outcomes
OBJECTIVE: We leverage state-level variability in social policies that confer legal protections for sexual minorities (e.g., employment nondiscrimination acts) and examine their association with birth outcomes among sexual minority women. METHODS: We link measures of structural protections (i.e., social policies) to a prospective, population-based cohort of US adults-the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health ( n = 7913 total s…
Sexual Orientation Disparities in Experiences of Male-Perpetrated Intimate Partner Violence
Sex, poverty, and public health
Financial scarcity appears to constrain sexual wellbeing. To support positive sexual health, the public health field must continue to focus on economic reform, poverty reduction, and dismantling of structural classism as critical aspects of helping people achieve their full health and wellbeing potential. ClinialTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02734199
Mothers’ Sexual Identity and Children’s Health
Sexual minority women face a plethora of structural, socioeconomic, and interpersonal disadvantages and stressors. Research has established negative associations between women’s sexual minority identities and both their own health and their infants’ birth outcomes. Yet a separate body of scholarship has documented similarities in the development and well-being of children living with same-sex couples relative to those living with similarly situat…
Structural Heteropatriarchy and Birth Outcomes in the United States
Emerging evidence links structural sexism and structural discrimination against lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations to poor health outcomes, but studies have yet to examine the combined effects of these mutually reinforcing systems of inequality. Therefore, we developed a composite measure of structural heteropatriarchy—which includes state-level LGB policies, family planning policies, and indicators of structural sexism (e.g., women's p…
Sexual Fluidity and Psychological Distress
The sexual identities of young women today are less binary and more fluid than ever before. Several theoretical perspectives imply that this fluidity could be accompanied by distress. To examine this, we analyzed four waves of data from Australian women born 1989 to 1995 (n = 11,527). We found no evidence of a universal association between sexual identity change and psychological distress. Instead, psychological distress was elevated when women c…
Disparities in smoking during pregnancy by sexual orientation and race-ethnicity
The intersection between sexual orientation and race-ethnicity is emerging as an important dynamic for health. Prior research indicates that sexual orientation can have very different health implications for White, Black, and Latina individuals and that these patterns are unpredictable. Here we use U.S. data from the National Survey of Family Growth (2006-2019, n = 15,163 pregnancies) to examine how an important health indicator - smoking during …
Breastfeeding Initiation and Continuation Among Sexual Minority Women
Sexual Functioning, Satisfaction, and Well-Being Among Contraceptive Users
Few large, longitudinal studies document multiple contraceptive methods’ effects on sexual functioning, satisfaction, and well-being. We leveraged data from the HER Salt Lake Contraceptive Initiative, a prospective cohort study with patient surveys at baseline, one month, and three months. Surveys assessed bleeding changes, contraceptive-related side effects, sexual functioning and satisfaction, and perceptions of methods’ impact on sexual well-b…
Prevalence and Sociodemographic Correlates of Identifying as Mainly Heterosexual
Mortality risk among a sample of sexual minority women
Sexual Identity and Birth Outcomes
Race-ethnic disparities in birth outcomes are well established, and new research suggests that there may also be important sexual identity disparities in birth weight and preterm birth. This study uses the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and is the first to examine disparities in birth outcomes at the intersection of race-ethnicity and sexual identity. We use ordinary least sqaures and logistic regression models with liv…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Unwanted Births
ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to explore sexual orientation disparities in unwanted births by race/ethnicity.BackgroundPrevious research has documented that sexual minority women (SMW) are more likely to report unintended pregnancy than heterosexual women and that Black and Latina women are more likely to report unintended pregnancy than White women. No research has examined how pregnancy intention varies at the intersection of these t…
Sexual Orientation Differences in Pregnancy and Abortion Across the Lifecourse
Sexual Minority Women and Contraceptive Use
Compared with their heterosexual peers, sexual minority women (SMW; e.g., queer, bisexual, lesbian, pansexual) have an elevated risk for unintended pregnancy. A team of social science and clinical researchers qualitatively documented the multilevel pathways leading to this disparity, particularly the contexts of contraceptive use. From August 2017 to April 2018, we conducted focus groups and interviews with young adult cisgender SMW in 3 cities: …
Gender, Race, and Minority Stress Among Sexual Minority Women
Social, behavioral, and biological factors, and sex differences in mortality
Few studies have examined whether sex differences in mortality are associated with different distributions of risk factors or result from the unique relationships between risk factors and mortality for men and women. We extend previous research by systematically testing a variety of factors, including health behaviors, social ties, socioeconomic status, and biological indicators of health. We employ the National Health and Nutritional Examination…
Understanding the educational attainment of sexual minority women and men
Negative Acculturation and Nothing More? Cumulative Disadvantage and Mortality during the Immigrant Adaptation Process among Latinos in the United States
Foreign- and U.S.-born Hispanic health deteriorates with increasing exposure and acculturation to mainstream U.S. society. Because these associations are robust to (static) socioeconomic controls, negative acculturation has become their primary explanation. This overemphasis, however, has neglected important alternative structural explanations. Examining Hispanic mortality using the 1998–2006 U.S. National Health Interview Survey-Linked Mortality…
The impact of civil union legislation on minority stress, depression, and hazardous drinking in a diverse sample of sexual-minority women
Sexual Orientation Identity Change and Depressive Symptoms
Several new studies have documented high rates of sexual identity mobility among young adults, but little work has investigated the links between identity change and mental health. This study uses the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health ( N = 11,727) and employs multivariate regression and propensity score matching to investigate the impact of identity change on depressive symptoms. The results reveal that only changes in se…
Trends in educational attainment by race/ethnicity, nativity, and sex in the United States, 1989-2005
Despite the importance of education for shaping individuals' life chances, little research has examined trends and differences in educational attainment for detailed demographic subpopulations in the United States. We use labor market segmentation and cohort replacement theories, linear regression methods, and data from the National Health Interview Survey to understand educational attainment by race/ethnicity, nativity, birth cohort, and sex bet…
Educational Degrees and Adult Mortality Risk in the United States
We present the first published estimates of U.S. adult mortality risk by detailed educational degree, including advanced postsecondary degrees. We use the 1997-2002 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Linked Mortality Files and Cox proportional hazards models to reveal wide graded differences in mortality by educational degree. Compared to adults who have a professional degree, those with an MA are 5 percent, those with a BA are 26 percent, t…

The Effects of Children’s Migration on Elderly Kin’s Health
Recent studies of migration and the left-behind have found that elders with migrant children actually experience better health outcomes than those with no migrant children, yet these studies raise many concerns about self-selection. Using three rounds of panel survey data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey, we employ the counterfactual framework developed by Rosenbaum and Rubin to examine the relationship between having a migrant child and th…
Effects of Minority Status and Perceived Discrimination on Mental Health
Indicators of Victimization and Sexual Orientation Among Adolescents
Objectives. We used nuanced measures of sexual minority status to examine disparities in victimization and their variations by gender, age, and race/ethnicity. Methods. We conducted multivariate analyses of pooled data from the 2005 and 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys. Results. Although all sexual minorities reported more fighting, skipping school because they felt unsafe, and having property stolen or damaged at school than did heterosexuals, r…
Examining Sexual Orientation Disparities in Unmet Medical Needs Among Men and Women
The Nonequivalent Health of High School Equivalents
OBJECTIVES: (GED) diploma. Virtually nothing is known about the health of this large group, although literature suggests GED recipients are considerably worse off than high school graduates in numerous economic and social outcomes. We analyze general health among working-age adults with a high school diploma, GED recipients, and high school dropouts. METHODS: Ordered and binary logistic models of self-rated health and activity limitations were es…
Sexual Orientation Disparities in Cancer-Related Risk Behaviors of Tobacco, Alcohol, Sexual Behaviors, and Diet and Physical Activity
Objectives. We examined sexual orientation disparities in cancer-related risk behaviors among adolescents. Methods. We pooled data from the 2005 and 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys. We classified youths with any same-sex orientation as sexual minority and the remainder as heterosexual. We compared the groups on risk behaviors and stratified by gender, age ( 14 years), and race/ethnicity. Results. Sexual minorities (7.6% of the sample) reported m…

Sexual Orientation Disparities in Mistimed and Unwanted Pregnancy Among Adult Women
Compared with heterosexuals who have sex with men only, adult sexual minority women are at equal or greater risk of reporting an unintended pregnancy. More research addressing the reproductive health care needs of sexual minority women is needed to develop strategies to improve family planning for this population
Sexual Orientation Disparities in Sexually Transmitted Infection Risk Behaviors and Risk Determinants Among Sexually Active Adolescent Males
Objectives. We examined disparities in risk determinants and risk behaviors for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) between gay-identified, bisexual-identified, and heterosexual-identified young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and heterosexual-identified young men who have sex with women (YMSW) using a school-based sample of US sexually active adolescent males. Methods. We analyzed a pooled data set of Youth Risk Behavior Surveys from 2005 an…
Mediation by Peer Violence Victimization of Sexual Orientation Disparities in Cancer-Related Tobacco, Alcohol, and Sexual Risk Behaviors
Objectives. We examined the role of adolescent peer violence victimization (PVV) in sexual orientation disparities in cancer-related tobacco, alcohol, and sexual risk behaviors. Methods. We pooled data from the 2005 and 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys. We classified youths with any same-sex sexual attraction, partners, or identity as sexual minority and the remainder as heterosexual. We had 4 indicators of tobacco and alcohol use and 4 of sexual…
Longitudinal Associations among Discordant Sexual Orientation Dimensions and Hazardous Drinking in a Cohort of Sexual Minority Women
We examined differences between sexual minority women's (SMW's) sexual identity and sexual behavior or sexual attraction as potential contributors to hazardous drinking across a 10-year period. Data are from a longitudinal study examining drinking and drinking-related problems in a diverse, community-based sample of self-identified SMW (Wave 1: n = 447; Wave 2: n = 384; Wave 3: n = 354). Longitudinal cross-lagged models showed that SMW who report…
Correlates and Consequences of Parent–Teen Incongruence in Reports of Teens' Sexual Experience
Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, factors associated with incongruence between parents' and adolescents' reports of teens' sexual experience were investigated, and the consequences of inaccurate parental knowledge for adolescents' subsequent sexual behaviors were explored. Most parents of virgins accurately reported teens' lack of experience, but most parents of teens who had had sex provided inaccurate reports. Binary l…
