Internalized gay ageism, mattering, and depressive symptoms among midlife and older gay-identified men
Minority Stress and Stress Proliferation Among Same-Sex and Other Marginalized Couples
Drawing from 2 largely isolated approaches to the study of social stress-stress proliferation and minority stress-the authors theorize about stress and mental health among same-sex couples. With this integrated stress framework, they hypothesized that couple-level minority stressors may be experienced by individual partners and jointly by couples as a result of the stigmatized status of their same-sex relationship-a novel concept. They also consi…
Urban neighbourhood unemployment history and depressive symptoms over time among late middle age and older adults
BACKGROUND: Little is known about how a neighbourhood's unemployment history may set the stage for depressive symptomatology. This study examines the effects of urban neighbourhood unemployment history on current depressive symptoms and subsequent symptom trajectories among residentially stable late middle age and older adults. Contingent effects between neighbourhood unemployment and individual-level employment status (ie, cross-level interactio…
Same-Sex Legal Marriage and Psychological Well-Being: Findings From the California Health Interview Survey
Objectives. We examined whether same-sex marriage was associated with nonspecific psychological distress among self-identified lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults, and whether it had the potential to offset mental health disparities between lesbian, gay, and bisexual persons and heterosexuals. Methods. Population-based data (weighted) were from the 2009 adult (aged 18–70 years) California Health Interview Survey. Within-group analysis of lesbian, g…
Stress and Mental Health Among Midlife and Older Gay-Identified Men
Objectives. We investigated associations between stress and mental health (positive affect, depressive symptoms) among HIV-negative and HIV-positive midlife and older gay-identified men, along with the mediating and moderating effects of mastery and emotional support. We also studied the mental health effects of same-sex marriage. Methods. We obtained data from self-administered questionnaires completed in 2009 or 2010 by a subsample (n = 202; av…
Are Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Racial/Ethnic Segregation Associated with Cognitive Functioning in Late Middle Age
The Urban Neighborhood and Cognitive Functioning in Late Middle Age
This study examines the association of cognitive functioning with urban neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and racial/ethnic segregation for a U.S. national sample of persons in late middle age, a time in the life course when cognitive deficits begin to emerge. The key hypothesis is that effects of neighborhood on cognitive functioning are not uniform but are most pronounced among subgroups of the population defined by socioeconomic status a…
Urban Neighborhood Context and Mortality in Late Life
There are survival-related benefits of living in an affluent urban neighborhood, which we posit may be manifested through the diffusion of innovations in health care and health-promotion activities
A multilevel analysis of urban neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and health in late life
Urban Neighborhoods and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Adults
This study shows that apparent neighborhood-level socioeconomic effects on depressive symptoms among urban-dwelling older adults are largely if not entirely compositional in nature. Further, residential stability in the urban neighborhood may not be emotionally beneficial to its aged residents
Socioeconomic Context, Social Support, and Adolescent Mental Health: A Multilevel Investigation
Perceived HIV stigma in Aids caregiving dyads
A multilevel analysis of ethnic variation in depressive symptoms among adolescents in the United States
Educational Attainment, Continued Learning Experience, and Cognitive Function among Older Men
Continued pursuit of education and training may offer opportunities to promote cognitive function throughout the life course, especially among those with low educational attainment early in life
Precursive depression among HIV infected Aids caregivers over time
Reciprocity and Depression in Aids Caregiving
A community-based sample of informal AIDS caregivers was surveyed between 1990 and 1992 about the degree to which they perceive reciprocity with the recipient of their care. Equivalent exchanges between caregivers and care recipients are unlikely, a general fact that may have been particularly true in the case of AIDS at the beginning of the 1990s. Yet perceived reciprocity is remarkably high in this sample across all relationship types. Multivar…
Psychotherapy use and depression among Aids caregivers
Psychotherapy use and depression among AIDS caregivers were examined with two waves of data from a panel survey of caregivers in Los Angeles and San Francisco (N = 472). Both were studied as outcomes driven by an array of determining factors (e.g., caregivers and care recipient health; care-related stress). AIDS caregivers exhibited relatively high rates of psychotherapy use (31% reported using at the time of initial interview). Care- related str…
