Inequities in Anticipatory Stress of Police Brutality and Depressed Mood Among Women
We (still) charge genocide”
Mechanisms Connecting Police Brutality, Intersectionality, and Women’s Health Over the Life Course
Police brutality harms women. Structural racism and structural sexism expose women of color to police brutality through 4 interrelated mechanisms: (1) desecration of Black womanhood, (2) criminalization of communities of color, (3) hypersexualization of Black and Brown women, and (4) vicarious marginalization. We analyze intersectionality as a framework for understanding racial and gender determinants of police brutality, arguing that public heal…
Hazards of anti‐Blackness in the United States
On February 26, 2012, a Black child, Trayvon Martin, was executed in Sanford, Florida. Seventeen months later his killer was found not guilty. This is but one example of the state's brazen disregard for Black life, rooted in the kidnapping and enslavement of Africans more than 400 years ago, and the ways in which they and their descendants were systematically tortured. Trayvon Martin's murder catalyzed the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, which…
I Said Maybe We Should Use a Condom, and Then that Just Went South”
More than 600,000 incarcerated individuals are released annually in the United States; a large proportion are Black men incarcerated for drug-related offenses, including drug use and possession. Formerly incarcerated Black men report elevated rates of condomless sex and sexually transmitted infections, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The purpose of this study was to explore condom usage among Black men who were formerly incarcerated…
“It’s like I was out there by myself”
Exploring Discrimination and Mental Health Disparities Faced By Black Sexual Minority Women Using a Minority Stress Framework
Black sexual minority women are triply marginalized due to their race, gender, and sexual orientation. We compared three dimensions of discrimination-frequency (regularity of occurrences), scope (number of types of discriminatory acts experienced), and number of bases (number of social statuses to which discrimination was attributed)-and self-reported mental health (depressive symptoms, psychological well-being, and social well-being) between 64 …
An Empirical Test of Racial/Ethnic Differences in Perceived Racism and Affiliation with the Gay Community
Studies of sexual stigma management techniques expected to decrease HIV risk among Black men who have sex with men (MSM) have yielded some counterintuitive findings. For example, some research suggests that identification with and participation in the gay community may be related to higher levels of sexual risk behavior among Black MSM. Moreover, some of this research tends to assume that Black and White MSM experience the gay community in identi…
Exposure to Prison Sexual Assault among Incarcerated Black Men
Perceived discrimination and psychological well-being in the USA and South Africa
In two racialized societies, perceived discrimination acts independent of demographic factors, general stressors, social desirability bias, racial identity, and SES, to negatively affect the psychological resources of self-esteem and mastery
Stuck in the quagmire of an HIV ghetto’
In this paper, we analyse the life history narratives of 10 poor gay and bisexual Black men over the age of 50 living with HIV/AIDS in New York City, focusing on experiences of stigma. Three overarching themes are identified. First, participants described the ways in which stigma marks them as 'just one more body' within social and medical institutions, emphasising the dehumanisation they experience in these settings. Second, respondents describe…

Methods. We conducted descriptive and age-adjusted analyses of the data from the National Survey of American Life—an in-person household mental health survey of noninstitutionalized US Blacks. We assessed psychiatric di…
