Living Near Contamination
The impact of residential proximity (RP) to EPA-designated Superfund sites on personal well-being remains understudied. This study evaluated the well-being of residents living near a former uranium processing facility in Fernald, Ohio, now a Superfund site, which emitted significant amounts of radioactive hazardous waste. Baseline data were collected from 7,957 participants who voluntarily enrolled in the Fernald Community Cohort. Participants co…

The present study examines the protective effect of paren…

As hypothesized, a mediation pathway was observed between racial discrimination, depression symptoms, and drug use. This effect was observed …
