Associations between childhood maltreatment and mid-life health risks and risky health behaviors in a nationally representative sample
Millions of U.S. children experience maltreatment each year, which is associated with subsequent health risks, including psychopathology. We use data from up to 9692 participants in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to update and extend knowledge about such health risks into the start of midlife. These data include detailed retrospective measures of supervisory neglect, physical neglect, physical abuse, an…
Rehabilitating the ‘material’ in communicative planning: Design thinking with schoolchildren in Seoul
This paper engages with the ‘material turn’ in planning to interpret the epistemological potential of incorporating design methods into communicative planning. It argues that user-centred design methods can help overcome persistent shortcomings of the communicative approach by opening up more inclusive and action-oriented pathways for collective reasoning, while addressing structural injustices implicit in the assumption of communicative rational…
The role of community-based organizations in educational partnerships for equity: Perspectives from Singapore
Cross-sector educational partnerships are increasingly seen as critical levers for addressing educational inequities, with a growing shift from transactional support models to collaborative equity-driven ones. Community-based organizations are often involved in the support ecology for underprivileged youths to provide additional resources and services such as tutoring, school supplies, and access to technology. While such efforts appear to help r…
The Fallout from Criminal Justice System Contact
Twenty-five years ago, Bruce Western and Katherine Beckett (1999) provided the seed of what would come to be a novel area of inquiry: the consequences of the carceral state for inequality. In this article, we review in four stages the last twenty-five years of research on the fallout from criminal justice system contact. In the first stage, we describe the contours of the carceral state to highlight how prevalent each level of criminal justice co…
Examining Long-Term Mental Health Outcomes Associated with Childhood Gun Violence Exposure: Variations by Race/Ethnicity and Gender
This study examined the long-term mental health outcomes associated with childhood gun violence exposure by race/ethnicity and gender. Data were drawn from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (1997-2021). Gun violence exposure was measured as any exposure before age 18. Mental health outcomes assessed included depressive symptoms, heavy episodic drinking, and daily cigarette smoking. Hierarchical generalized linear models were used. Fi…

From Personal to Collective: Asian American Counter-Narratives in the Covid-19 Era
This essay examines how Asian Americans have confronted anti-Asian racism during and after COVID-19. Using autoethnographic methods and analysis of online discourse, it argues that the pandemic experiences enabled many Asian individuals to redefine their sense of being Asian from an individual racial category to a political identity. The heightened anti-Asian sentiment reinforced stereotypes of Asians as "perpetual foreigners" and "multicultural …

Heterogeneous and racialized impacts of state incarceration policies on birth outcomes in the United States
While state incarceration policies have received much attention in research on the causes of mass incarceration in the United States, their roles in shaping population health and health disparities remain largely unknown. Merging data on state incarceration policies to vital statistics birth records from 1984 to 2004, we examine the impacts of two signature state incarceration policies adopted during the "tough on crime" era of the 1990s-three st…
Critical Junctures of Technological Mediation: Infrastructuring a Tracing System Through Commercial Apps in South Korea
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the global development of contact tracing systems, revealing the adaptability of digital platforms for urban infrastructure. This study, as part of a broader investigation into the implementation of a South Korean contact tracing system during the pandemic, employs an archival research method to examine how the government strategically developed the infrastructure by using the most popular commercial apps in the cou…
Dynamic changes in place-based measures of structural racism and preterm birth in the USA
BACKGROUND: Structurally racist systems, ideologies and processes generate and reinforce inequities among minoritised racial/ethnic groups. Prior cross-sectional literature finds that place-based structural racism, such as the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE), correlates with higher infant morbidity and mortality. We move beyond cross-sectional approaches and examine whether a decline in place-based structural racism over time coincid…
L’inégalité à l’œuvre: Race, genre et avantages de la beauté physique perçue aux États-Unis
L’apparence physique, que l’on peut associer, par exemple, au niveau d’éducation, à la situation matrimoniale ou aux revenus, est un axe de la stratification sociale. Pourtant, en comparaison à la stratification ethnoraciale et de genre, la question de la beauté physique est relativement peu étudiée. On sait notamment peu de choses sur la puissance du lien de causalité qui peut exister entre la race et le bénéfice tiré de la beauté physique, ni s…
I recorded my movements in the smartphone: Differently Reproduced Speeds of Posthuman Bodies
This paper aims to contribute to digitally mediated mobilities literature by studying ordinary people’s differential mobilities within a contact tracing system called the ‘Electronic Entry Register’ formulated by the South Korean government during the COVID-19 pandemic. Employing the posthumanist perspective, this empirical study examines differential mobilities produced by the smartphone-holding citizens on the move, focusing on the agential cap…

Interface as the site of infrastructural change
This study contributes to critical infrastructure literature by investigating people’s evolving interactions with surveillance infrastructure at the sites of ‘interface’, specifically focusing on the tracing infrastructure called Electronic Entry Register, devised by the South Korean government during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Highlighting the significance of the infrastructure’s ‘interface’ as the site of agential interac…
How Does Structural Racism Operate (in) the Contemporary US Criminal Justice System
I describe how cultural and structural racism operate the entire contemporary American criminal justice system via five features: devaluation of certain human lives, ubiquitous adaptation, networked structure, perceived neutrality, and temporal amnesia. I draw from specific historical and contemporary examples in policing, courts, and corrections to further emphasize the foundational nature of racism and its role in shaping racial/ethnic inequiti…
State-level variation in the cumulative prevalence of child welfare system contact, 2015–2019
I've left enough data: Relations between people and data and the production of surveillance
Exploring emergent relations between data-producing individuals and their data products, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing scholarly discussion on agencies in data practices. It focuses on shifts in surveillance structure in the era of Big Data, in which the individual becomes both a subject and an object in the production of data surveillance. Drawing on the concept of the 'dividual', the study analyses data practices for a tracing sy…
Enregistering mask-wearing in the time of a public health crisis
This study explores how during the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in Taiwan, mask-wearing emerged as a semiotic register in health communication. Focusing on enregisterment (Agha 2007), I analyze interactional recordings of press conferences by the Taiwanese government, Chinese language lessons offered to international students, and conversations at a convenience store between an Australian student and her Taiwanese friend. The analysis reveals inf…
Who Protests, What Do They Protest, and Why?
We examine individuals' decision to attend Black Lives Matter protests and demonstrations calling for less stringent public health measures to combat COVID-19 (e.g., for swifter reopening of businesses). Our analysis is facilitated by a unique staggered panel data set originally constructed to study the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19. A wave of data collected in the summer of 2020 was expanded to capture details about protest attendance, polit…
Vicarious exposure to the criminal legal system among parents and siblings
Objective: This study documents life course patterns of vicarious exposure to the criminal legal system among parents and siblings in the United States. Background: The criminal legal system shapes family outcomes in important ways. Still, life course patterns of vicarious exposure to the system-especially to lower-level contacts-among parents and siblings are not well documented. Method: Using longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dyn…
Highly public anti-Black violence and preterm birth odds for Black and White mothers
Highly public anti-Black violence may increase preterm birth in the general population of pregnant women via stress-mediated paths, particularly Black women exposed in early gestation. To examine spillover from racial violence in the US, we included a total of 49 high publicity incidents of the following types: police lethal force toward Black persons, legal decisions not to indict/convict officers involved, and hate crime murders of Black victim…
Racial/ethnic differences in the relationship between wealth and health across young adulthood
Wealth attenuated racial differences in self-rated health during young adulthood.•Wealth had consistent incremental effect on health among White & Hispanic Americans.•For Black Americans, wealth was protective of health in the highest wealth quartile.•Individual wealth, not parental wealth was associated with health among Hispanics
Afforestation affects rain-on-snow climatology over Norway
Rain-on-snow (ROS) events are most commonly found in sub-polar and alpine climates where they pose a considerable threat to society and nature. While the relationship between ROS frequency and large-scale climate features have been identified, little is known about the role of localised factors, such as land cover, in ROS frequency. Importantly, the impact of future land cover changes, such as afforestation, on ROS frequency is also unknown. In t…
Living under surveillance: Gender, psychological distress, and stop-question-and-frisk policing in New York City
Racial Inequalities in Connectedness to Imprisoned Individuals in the United States
In just the last forty years, imprisonment has been transformed from an event experienced by only the most marginalized to a common stage in the life course of American men-especially Black men with low levels of educational attainment. Although much research considers the causes of the prison boom and how the massive uptick in imprisonment has shaped crime rates and the life course of the men who experience imprisonment, in recent years, researc…
The weight of racism: Vigilance and racial inequalities in weight-related measures
What Percentage of Americans Have Ever Had a Family Member Incarcerated: Evidence from the Family History of Incarceration Survey (FamHIS)
What percentage of Americans have ever had a family member incarcerated? To answer this question, we designed the Family History of Incarceration Survey (FamHIS). The survey was administered in the summer of 2018 by NORC at the University of Chicago using their AmeriSpeak Panel. It was funded by FWD.us, which released a separate report using the data. The data show that 45 percent of Americans have ever had an immediate family member incarcerated…
A Heavy Burden: The Cardiovascular Health Consequences of Having a Family Member Incarcerated
Objectives. We examined the association of family member incarceration with cardiovascular risk factors and disease by gender. Methods. We used a sample of 5470 adults aged 18 years and older in the National Survey of American Life, a 2001–2003 nationally representative cross-sectional survey of Blacks and Whites living in the United States, to examine 5 self-reported health conditions (diabetes, hypertension, heart attack or stroke, obesity, and…
Risk of Police-Involved Death by Race/Ethnicity and Place, United States, 2012–2018
Objectives. To estimate the risk of mortality from police homicide by race/ethnicity and place in the United States. Methods. We used novel data on police-involved fatalities and Bayesian models to estimate mortality risk for Black, Latino, and White men for all US counties by Census division and metropolitan area type. Results. Police kill, on average, 2.8 men per day. Police were responsible for about 8% of all homicides with adult male victims…
Illness spillovers of lethal police violence: The Significance of Gendered Marginalization
Police violence is a pressing public health problem. To gauge the illness associations of police killings - the most severe form of police brutality, we compile a unique multilevel dataset that nests individual-level health data from the 2009-2013 New York City Community Health Survey (nij = 39,267) within neighbourhood-level data from 2003 to 2012 EpiQuery Vital Statistics (nj = 34). Using weighted hierarchical generalized linear models, we asse…
Consequences of Family Member Incarceration: Impacts on Civic Participation and Perceptions of the Legitimacy and Fairness of Government
Political participation and citizens' perceptions of the legitimacy and fairness of government are central components of democracy. In this article, we examine one possible threat to these markers of a just political system: family member incarceration. We offer a unique glimpse into the broader social consequences of punishment that are brought on by a partner's or parent's incarceration. We argue that the criminal justice system serves as an im…
Promises and Pitfalls of Using Digital Traces for Demographic Research
The digital traces that we leave online are increasingly fruitful sources of data for social scientists, including those interested in demographic research. The collection and use of digital data also presents numerous statistical, computational, and ethical challenges, motivating the development of new research approaches to address these burgeoning issues. In this article, we argue that researchers with formal training in demography—those who h…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Hypertension Prevalence: Reconsidering the Role of Chronic Stress
Objectives. We investigated the association between anticipatory stress, also known as racism-related vigilance, and hypertension prevalence in Black, Hispanic, and White adults. Methods. We used data from the Chicago Community Adult Health Study, a population-representative sample of adults (n = 3105) surveyed in 2001 to 2003, to regress hypertension prevalence on the interaction between race/ethnicity and vigilance in logit models. Results. Bla…
Investigating the Relationship between Perceived Discrimination, Social Status, and Mental Health
A growing body of evidence suggests that experiences with discrimination have implications for mental health and that these associations may vary by social status. We use data from the Chicago Community Adult Health Study (CCAHS) to examine how two types of perceived discrimination, chronic everyday discrimination and major lifetime discrimination, are linked to mental health, and how this association varies by race/ethnicity, gender, and socioec…
Things Fall Apart: Health Consequences of Mass Imprisonment for African American Women
In this article, we examine the possible impact of mass imprisonment on the physical health of African American women. Specifically, we focus on a variety of mechanisms through which mass imprisonment may increase the risk of having three major chronic health conditions that are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD): hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. This approach is distinctive in that it provides a broad theoretical framework through…
Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Health Implications of Black Respectability Politics
The authors introduce the concept of "vigilance," capturing behaviors that reflect attempts to navigate racialized social spaces on a daily basis. Specifically, vigilant behaviors include care about appearance and language to be treated with respect, avoidance of social spaces, and psychological preparation for potential prejudice and discrimination. Furthermore, these behaviors align with those discussed in Black respectability politics debates.…

A comparison of skin tone discrimination among African American men: 1995 And 2003
This study investigated perceptions of skin tone discrimination among adult African American men. Research suggests that through negative African American stereotypes, out-group members (Whites) perceive light-skinned African Americans favorably and dark-skinned African Americans unfavorably. However, it is unclear how treatment by in-group members (other African Americans) uniquely affects men. Using data from the 1995 Detroit Area Study and the…
Beholding Inequality: Race, Gender, and Returns to Physical Attractiveness in the United States
Physical attractiveness is an important axis of social stratification associated with educational attainment, marital patterns, earnings, and more. Still, relative to ethnoracial and gender stratification, physical attractiveness is relatively understudied. In particular, little is known about whether returns to physical attractiveness vary by race or significantly vary by race and gender combined. In this study, we use nationally representative …

This article explores the relationships among early marriage (before age 26 years), cohabitation, and health for African Americans and Whites during the transition to adulthood using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). The study examines three categories of health outcomes relevant to young adulthood: physical health, mental health, and health risk behaviors. Lagged dependent variable models are used to examine the …
Women's Health in the Era of Mass Incarceration
Dramatic increases in criminal justice contact in the United States have rendered prison and jail incarceration common for US men and their loved ones, with possible implications for women's health. This review provides the most expansive critical discussion of research on family member incarceration and women's health in five stages. First, we provide new estimates showing how common family member incarceration is for US women by race/ethnicity …
Parental Incarceration and Child Mortality in Denmark
Objectives. We used Danish registry data to examine the association between parental incarceration and child mortality risk. Methods. We used a sample of all Danish children born in 1991 linked with parental information. We conducted discrete-time survival analysis separately for boys (n = 30 146) and girls (n = 28 702) to estimate the association of paternal and maternal incarceration with child mortality, controlling for parental sociodemograph…
Genetic Bio-Ancestry and Social Construction of Racial Classification in Social Surveys in the Contemporary United States
Self-reported race is generally considered the basis for racial classification in social surveys, including the U.S. census. Drawing on recent advances in human molecular genetics and social science perspectives of socially constructed race, our study takes into account both genetic bio-ancestry and social context in understanding racial classification. This article accomplishes two objectives. First, our research establishes geographic genetic b…
Using Twitter for Demographic and Social Science Research: Tools for Data Collection and Processing
Despite recent and growing interest in using Twitter to examine human behavior and attitudes, there is still significant room for growth regarding the ability to leverage Twitter data for social science research. In particular, gleaning demographic information about Twitter users-a key component of much social science research-remains a challenge. This article develops an accurate and reliable data processing approach for social science researche…
White Health Benefits of Histories of Enslavement: The Case of Opioid Deaths
Popular media and researchers have given increasing attention to the perceived growing alienation and despair of white Americans. The narrative of white decline has been particularly robust in light of the recent uptick in premature deaths of whites from opioid use, but this national conversation has lacked consideration of potential associations between opioid mortality among whites and durable legacies of white advantage that were established t…
Partner Incarceration and Women's Substance Use
ObjectiveThis study examines whether the incarceration of women's partners is associated with their own drug, alcohol, and cigarette use.BackgroundPartners of incarcerated men face a number of stressors, including deteriorating relationships and economic instability.

The Undertheorized Environment: Sociological Theory and the Ontology of Behavioral Genetics
Growing interest in the genetic contribution to human behaviors has led to the growth of the field of behavioral genetics. The authors consider the concept of 'environment' in behavioral genetics and argue that sociology is in a unique position to evaluate and specify a theoretically robust concept of environment. Building on insights from classical and contemporary social theory, the authors argue that the study of genetic influence on behavior …
LVAD as destination therapy - the economic dilemma
The artificial heart, after decades of development, remains a long way off as a practical remedy for people with failing hearts. But a related technology, the left ventricular assist device (LVAD), has passed major milestones in its development and is poised for widespread use. This technology, which is an offshoot of the artificial heart program, may well have greater impact on society than the artificial heart. It is time to consider its probab…

Life Course Perspectives on the Links Between Poverty and Obesity During the Transition to Young Adulthood
DNA Collection in a Randomized Social Science Study of College Peer Effects
We describe the DNA collection processes of an initial pilot and full study, which is designed to investigate joint peer and genetic effects on health behaviors and attitudes in a college campus setting. In the main study, 2664 (79.5%) students completed a Web survey and 2080 (78.7% of the survey completers after adjusting for the ineligible) provided a saliva DNA sample. The response rate for completing both the survey and the DNA portion of the…
Reconsidering the Role of Social Disadvantage in Physical and Mental Health: Stressful Life Events, Health Behaviors, Race, and Depression
Prevalence of depression is associated inversely with some indicators of socioeconomic position, and the stress of social disadvantage is hypothesized to mediate this relation. Relative to whites, blacks have a higher burden of most physical health conditions but, unexpectedly, a lower burden of depression. This study evaluated an etiologic model that integrates mental and physical health to account for this counterintuitive patterning. The Balti…
From the Iron Rice Bowl to the Beggar's Bowl: What Good Is (Chinese) Literature
In June 2009, the Chinese mediasphere was abuzz with the announcement that the octogenarian writer Jin Yong (Louis Cha) was slated to join the Chinese Writers' Association (Zhongguo zuojia xiehui, CWA). Jin Yong is a beloved martial arts fiction writer who made his career in the freewheeling ex-British colony of Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s.1 His joining the association known for its stodgy conformism struck many as ironic, or at least as blo…

“White Box” Epidemiology and the Social Neuroscience of Health Behaviors: The Environmental Affordances Model
Crucial advances have been made in our knowledge of the social determinants of health and health behaviors. Existing research on health disparities, however, generally fails to address a known paradox in the literature: While blacks have higher risk of medical morbidity relative to non-Hispanic whites, blacks have lower rates of common stress-related forms of psychopathology such as major depression and anxiety disorders. In this article we propo…

Interpersonal discrimination and depressive symptomatology: Examination of Several Personality-Related Characteristics as Potential Confounders in a Racial/Ethnic Heterogeneous Adult Sample
As one of the first empirical attempts to examine the potential confounding role of personality characteristics in the association between reports of interpersonal discrimination and mental health, our results suggest that personality-related characteristics may serve as potential confounders. Nevertheless, our results also suggest that, net of these characteristics, reports of interpersonal discrimination are associated with poor mental health

The Prevalence of Confirmed Maltreatment Among US Children, 2004 to 2011
IMPORTANCE: Child maltreatment is a risk factor for poor health throughout the life course. Existing estimates of the proportion of the US population maltreated during childhood are based on retrospective self-reports. Records of officially confirmed maltreatment have been used to produce annual rather than cumulative counts of maltreated individuals. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the proportion of US children with a report of maltreatment (abuse or neg…
