Sex and race/ethnicity differences in the 24-hour movement behaviors among adolescents in the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (FFCWS)
There is a continued need for interventions to promote physical activity and sleep among adolescents, with a particular focus on increasing sleep duration among boys and physical activity among girls and Hispanic/Latino adolescents
Why so slangry (sleepy and angry)? Shorter sleep duration and lower sleep efficiency predict worse next‐day mood in adolescents
PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to evaluate the relationships of actigraphic nighttime sleep duration and quality with next-day mood among urban adolescents using a micro-longitudinal design. METHODS: A subsample (N = 525) of participants from the Fragile Families & Child Wellbeing Study (mean age: 15.4 years; 53% female; 42% Black non-Hispanic, 24% Hispanic/Latino, 19% White non-Hispanic) in the United States between 2014 and 2016 concurrent…
Development and Initial Validation of the Assessment of Sleep Environment (ASE)
The purpose of this study was to develop and test the reliability and validity of a 13-item self-report Assessment of Sleep Environment (ASE). This study investigates the relationship between subjective experiences of environmental factors (light, temperature, safety, noise, comfort, humidity, and smell) and sleep-related parameters (insomnia symptoms, sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and control over sleep). The ASE was developed using an iter…

Neighborhood Disadvantage Is Associated with Lower Quality Sleep and More Variability in Sleep Duration among Urban Adolescents
Violent crime, police presence and poor sleep in two low-income urban predominantly Black American neighbourhoods
Objective To examine violent crime in relation to sleep and explore pathways, including psychological distress, safety perceptions and perceived police presence, that may account for associations. Methods In 2018, 515 predominantly Black American (94%) adults (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) provided survey data: actigraphy-assessed sleep duration and wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO). We estimated pathways from violent crime (2016–2018) to sle…
Sleep Health
The concept of sleep health provides a positive holistic framing of multiple sleep characteristics, including sleep duration, continuity, timing, alertness, and satisfaction. Sleep health promotion is an underrecognized public health opportunity with implications for a wide range of critical health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, mental health, and neurodegenerative disease. Using a socioecological framework, we describe inte…
Religious attendance, depressive symptoms, and sleep disturbance in older Mexican Americans
Although numerous studies have shown that religious involvement is associated with better health across the life course, researchers have virtually ignored possible links between religious involvement and sleep-related outcomes. Building on previous work, we tested whether religious attendance is inversely associated with sleep disturbance among older Mexican Americans. We also assessed whether depressive symptoms mediate the association between …
Disparities in adolescent sleep health by sex and ethnoracial group
Improving adolescent sleep health is a national priority for ameliorating health and wellbeing (Healthy People 2020), as the majority of adolescents do not get the minimum recommended amount of 8 h of sleep per night. Prior research has identified sex and ethnoracial disparities in adolescent sleep but has been limited by data availability. National studies have collected reported sleep data, while objective sleep data has been available in commu…

Association of financial hardship with poor sleep health outcomes among men who have sex with men
Previous studies have identified an association between socioeconomic status and sleep health. While some research has studied this association among sexual minority groups, including men who have sex with men (MSM), they exclusively focused on US-based populations. The interplay between the two in shaping sleep health has not been previously examined on populations residing outside the US. This study considers both determinants, by investigating…
Evaluating an Outcomes‐based Standardized Homeownership Education Program
A statewide education program provided prospective homebuyers with information to support long‐term preservation of affordable homeownership. Between 2012 and 2015, a sample of 1,561 Michigan residents completed pre‐ and post program evaluation surveys. The surveys measured 12 outcomes of the homeownership education program. Change scores were calculated for participants, and paired t‐tests were used to compare pre‐ and postsurvey means for each …

Neighbourhood socioeconomic status and biological ‘wear and tear’ in a nationally representative sample of US adults
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether neighbourhood socioeconomic status (NSES) is independently associated with disparities in biological 'wear and tear' measured by allostatic load in a nationally representative sample of US adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Population-based US survey, the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), merged with US census data describing respondents' neighbourhoods. PARTICIPANTS: 13…

Dona Luciana1 had a job for me, an important job, one she could not do herself. It seemed that, from time to time, Ronaldo, who, like Dona Luciana is a medium in the Umbanda religion, would become possessed by Omolu, the Yoruban god of sickness and healing. When this happened, it did not go well for Ronaldo. I was present one evening when this occurred.KeywordsRock SaltBlack BeanGreen PepperRose PetalAmerican EthnologistThese keywords were added …

Racial Differences in Self-Reports of Sleep Duration in a Population-Based Study
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Racial and ethnic differences in sleep duration are not well understood. Research shows that short ( or =9 hours) sleepers have higher mortality risks than mid-range sleepers. We investigated whether sleep duration varies by racial and ethnic characteristics and if some of these associations may be explained by residential context. DESIGN: Cross-sectional National Health Interview Survey. SETTING: Non-institutionalized adults li…
Why Are Infant and Child Mortality Rates Lower in the MCH‐FP Area of Matlab, Bangladesh
Infant and child mortality rates are significantly lower in the Maternal and Child Health‐Family Planning (MCH‐FP) area of Matlab, Bangladesh, than in a comparison area. The two areas are similar in terms of socioeconomic characteristics, but the MCH‐FP area provides better maternal and child health and family planning services, resulting in different reproductive patterns, including lower fertility rates and longer intervals between pregnancies.…
The House of Saint Benedict, the House of Father John
The ritual aesthetics of Afrobrazilian religions such as Umbanda and Candomblé exhibit a great range of diversity. This chapter explores the possibility that the diverse aesthetics of Afrobrazilian religion reflect and express divergent stances toward contested issues of race and identity in Brazil, while constituting markedly different experiences of spirituality and the sacred. The chapter suggests that we approach Afrobrazilian religious aesth…

Preto velho
The old-slave spirits (pretos velhos) of the Brazilian Umbanda religion have historically been dismissed as stereotypes supporting racist ideologies. While this appears to be true in many cases, old-slave spirits also offer searing indictments of racism and penetrating, critical explorations of the articulations of race, gender, morality, and power in Brazilian society. I argue that, through these spirits, Umbanda mediums embody conflicting repre…
