  • Beyond biology

    Open AccessSharlene D Newman, D Nichole Pompey et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Hypertension remains a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the United States. Despite advances in detection and treatment, disparities in hypertension prevalence, control, and outcomes persist across racial, gender, and geographic lines, particularly in the rural Deep South. To examine the associations between race, gender, age, and geography on systolic and diastolic blood pressure among adult patients in…

  • Constructing and expressing the story world

    Open AccessSharlene D Newman, Madeleine Rein et al.ARTICLEBrain and Language2026

  • Language-based inference generation under working memory load

    Open AccessEmily C Gann, Gabby Sandlin et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2026

    These findings indicate that increased JTC tendencies can emerge even in the absence of clinically significant schizophrenia symptoms and that disorganized traits may contribute to disruptions in circular inference mechanisms. The results also underscore the utility of analyzing speech production as a method for investigating inference generation in future research

  • Exploring gendered racism and the mental health of rural Black women

    Open AccessChristina J Ezemenaka, Wanda Martin Burton et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Background Gendered racial microaggressions adversely impact Black college women’s mental health, but less is known about rural Black women’s mental health. Objective Examine the association between gendered racism, depression, and psychological distress. Methods This cross-sectional study included 200 rural Black women from the Southeastern United States. Gendered racism was assessed using the Gendered Racial Microaggressions scale (GRMS). Linea…

  • Perceived racial discrimination, childhood adversity, and self-reported high blood pressure among adults in rural Alabama

    Open AccessTenesha Littleton, Luciana Giorgio Cosenzo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: Disproportionate exposure to psychosocial stressors, such as racial discrimination, and other forms of adversity across the life course contributes to higher rates of hypertension among Black Americans. However, prior literature is limited by the underrepresentation of rural populations and narrow measurements of racial discrimination. This study examines associations between perceived racial discrimination (through a historical tra…

  • Mental health trajectory throughout high school football career

    Open AccessClaire V Buddenbaum, Grace O Recht et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Our data suggest that mental health wellbeing remain consistent across 1 to 2 years of high school sports participation, regardless of head impact exposure or types of sports they play (football or non-contact sports). However, psychological burden may accumulate over multiple years of football participation

  • An examination of the association between perceived stress and autistic traits in a rural predominately African American community sample

    Open AccessSharlene D Newman, Morgan M Newman et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2024

  • Associations between repetitive head impact exposure and midlife mental health wellbeing in former amateur athletes

    Open AccessClaire V Buddenbaum, Grace O Recht et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    Our data suggest that even individuals at the amateur level of contact sports have an increased likelihood of being diagnosed with mental health disorders or experiencing mental health symptoms compared to non-contact athletes. Our findings indicate that socioeconomic status may have an interactive effect on individuals' mental health, particularly among those with a long history of RHI exposure

  • The health of rural Black communities during Covid

    Open AccessSharlene D Newman, Kimberly Moss et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background and objective: There are overwhelming health disparities in the Deep South. It is important to include the voice of communities affected by these disparities when developing interventions. The goal of the current study was to develop an academic community engaged partnership to strengthen the ability to address priority health concerns of rural African American communities with a focus on health literacy and health advocacy. Methods: =…

  • The role of the broader autism phenotype in anxiety and depression in college-aged adults

    Open AccessMcKayla R Kurtz, Rajesh K Kana et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    The current study examines the relationship between the presence of autistic traits and anxiety and mood disorders in young adults from different racial groups. A representative sample from a predominately white university (2,791 non-Hispanic White (NHW) and 185 Black students) completed the broad autism phenotype questionnaire (BAPQ), a measure of depression (Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-9), and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD-7)…

  • Neuro-ophthalmologic and blood biomarker responses in ADHD following subconcussive head impacts

    Open AccessMadeleine K Nowak, William G Kronenberger et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier ID: (NCT04880304)

  • Association Between Hormonal Birth Control, Substance Use, and Depression

    Open AccessSharlene D NewmanARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    More studies examining the impact of hormonal birth control and substance use on depression are required. The results suggest a potential interaction between CB and hormonal birth control use on depression symptoms that is not observed for alcohol. This implies that alcohol and CB may be linked to depression via different mechanisms

  • Does Chronic Cannabis Use Impact Risky Decision-Making

    Open AccessDavid Raymond, David R Raymond et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    With the increase in use of cannabis and its shifting legal status in the United States, cannabis use has become an important research focus. While studies of other drug populations have shown marked increases in risky decision-making, the literature on cannabis users is not as clear. The current study examined the performance of 17 cannabis users and 14 non-users on the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART) using behavioral, fMRI and effective connect…

  • Operationalization of Sign Language Phonological Similarity and its Effects on Lexical Access

    Joshua T Williams, Adam Stone et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Deaf Studies and…2017

    Cognitive mechanisms for sign language lexical access are fairly unknown. This study investigated whether phonological similarity facilitates lexical retrieval in sign languages using measures from a new lexical database for American Sign Language. Additionally, it aimed to determine which similarity metric best fits the present data in order to inform theories of how phonological similarity is constructed within the lexicon and to aid in the ope…

  • Impacts of Visual Sonority and Handshape Markedness on Second Language Learning of American Sign Language

    Joshua T Williams, Sharlene D NewmanARTICLEThe Journal of Deaf Studies and…2016

    The roles of visual sonority and handshape markedness in sign language acquisition and production were investigated. In Experiment 1, learners were taught sign-nonobject correspondences that varied in sign movement sonority and handshape markedness. Results from a sign-picture matching task revealed that high sonority signs were more accurately matched, especially when the sign contained a marked handshape. In Experiment 2, learners produced thes…

  • Phonological substitution errors in L2 ASL sentence processing by hearing M2L2 learners

    Open AccessJoshua T B Williams, Joshua T Williams et al.ARTICLESecond language Research2016Citada por: 2Referencias: 2

    In the present study we aimed to investigate phonological substitution errors made by hearing second language (M2L2) learners of American Sign Language (ASL) during a sentence translation task. Learners saw sentences in ASL that were signed by either a native signer or a M2L2 learner. Learners were to simply translate the sentence from ASL to English. Learners’ responses were analysed for lexical translation errors that were caused by phonologica…
