Assessing the feasibility of using salivary microRNAs as biomarkers to distinguish between chronic stress and childhood trauma in African American young women in an exploratory pilot study
Our analyses shows that miRNA extracted from salivary exosomes can be a reliable biomarker for stress and miR-135a-3p appears to be the most upregulated between LCS and HCS individuals and a potential candidate to corroborate self-reports on self-assessments and predict negative health outcomes. Given that HCS+HA did not show an upregulation of miR-135-3p but had similar expression in the other three miRs compared to HCS group may indicate an ada…

An analysis of student bucket lists in death and dying courses
This article describes and analyzes the use of a bucket list assignment in three undergraduate university Death and Dying courses as a way to teach students about death, while also learning about this generation’s aspirations and anxieties related to dying. The Death and Dying professors at three different universities, each using a similar assignment, require students to create their own bucket lists, or a list of things they want to complete be…
Reinforcing Islamophobic Rhetoric Through the Use of Facebook Comments
Social media sites such as Facebook allow for the easy extension and support of imagined community within online spaces. This study seeks to examine the role of imagined community and framing in portrayals of Islam and Muslims within the comments of public media pages on Facebook. A comparative analysis of comments on news articles from conservative, mainstream, and liberal media sources was conducted to understand the quantity and content of Isl…
Racial differences in institutional trust and Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and refusal
Strategies to increase trust of the scientific community can be employed to address vaccine hesitancy through community-based initiatives and building of partnerships between the scientific community and local community stakeholders
Religiosity as a mediating factor in alcohol use and alcohol related problems among students attending a historically black college (HBCU)
Previous research suggests that students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) frequently have lower rates of drinking and alcohol-related problems. The etiology of such findings is still under debate although some research has suggested the African-American religious experience might account for the differences. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of alcohol consumption, alcohol-related problems, and relig…
Assessing Aspects of Acculturation in a Muslim American Sample
Acculturation of Muslims into the American culture continues to be a topic of deep interest. The purpose of this study was to examine acculturation in a sample of both American-born and Immigrant Muslim Americans. Two hundred and fifty five Muslim Americans completed a scale designed to assess two aspects of acculturation within the population: adherence to Islamic identity and conformity to American social norms. The survey was distributed in bo…
