Confronting the “200-Pound Alligator: ” Anti-Racist Community-Engaged Research Addressing Police-Inflicted Trauma on the Black Community
This paper focuses on a multi-method project on the effects of policing on the well-being of the African American Community in a large, predominantly Black Midwestern city. Black-led community organizations and an independent police oversight board initiated the community-engaged research process. We analyze our collaboration against the backdrop of principles for anti-racist community-engaged research. We emphasize the importance of a diverse re…
Mental Health, Resilience, and Well-Being Among Sexual Minority College Students: A Study Framed by the Minority Stress and Minority Resilience Models
This study contributes to the understanding and promotion of mental health among sexual minority college students by examining a comprehensive range of mental health outcomes, including psychological distress and indicators of well-being. Using survey data from 521 students at a US state university, we applied the minority stress model and the minority resilience model, while also considering the minority mental health paradox, to compare mental …
Racial Differences in Resilience: U.S. College Student’s Mental Health and the Covid-19 Pandemic
Concerns about the mental health of college students have been increasing over the last several decades. The COVID-19 pandemic only served to put more attention on this problem. Prior to the pandemic, minority students bore a heavier burden of mental disorder symptoms, but it is unclear if this racial difference persisted during the COVID-19 pandemic and if the resilience of students to this crisis varies by race. This study investigates race-spe…
Gender Differences in Purpose in Life: The Mediation Effect of Altruism
A strong meaning or purpose in life, as a key indicator for psychological well-being, has been found to enhance health and longevity in a large amount of empirical research. In this study, we focus on gender differences in purpose in life. Using a large nationally representative sample, we found that women enjoyed higher levels of purpose in life. We further examined the role of altruism in accounting for much of the gender differences in life pu…

Experiencing a Forced Relocation at Different Life Stages: The Effects of China’s Three Gorges Project–induced Relocation on Depression
Guided by the life course perspective and the stress severity perspective, this study aims to evaluate the question: Does the Three Gorges Project–induced relocation affect people of different ages differently? Using a quasi-experimental design, we collected pre- and post-relocation data from a sample ( n = 1,056) that consists of both relocatees and nonmovers from the Three Gorges region in China. We found that relocatees of all age groups have …

The conditional relationship between English language proficiency and earnings among US immigrants
Using the 2000 US census data for immigrants of twenty language groups resided in metropolitan areas, we test the hypothesis that the rate of returns (in earnings) to English proficiency is not constant but varies with the language environment (as defined by group size, segregation, linguistic heterogeneity and inequality) in which immigrants are embedded. Results from our hierarchical model indicate that while an increase in the size and segrega…

Improving the Prediction of Medication Compliance: The Example of Bisphosphonates for Osteoporosis
INTRODUCTION: Administrative claims data have a limited ability to identify persons with high compliance to oral bisphosphonates. We tested whether adding information on compliance with other drugs used to treat chronic, asymptomatic conditions would improve the predictive ability of administrative data to identify adherent individuals. METHODS: Using data from a large, US healthcare organization, we identified new bisphosphonate users and their …
Identification and Validation of Vertebral Compression Fractures Using Administrative Claims Data
INTRODUCTION: Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are the most common type of osteoporotic fracture. Administrative claims data might be useful to identify VCFs, but this approach to case finding has received limited evaluation. METHODS: Using the administrative claims databases of a large regional US health care organization, we identified adults with a claim with a VCF diagnosis code from January 2003 to June 2004 and excluded persons with m…
Structural and Individual Covariates of English Language Proficiency
This study evaluates the empirical merits of a multilevel model of English language proficiency among immigrants. The model represents a synthesis of Blau's theory of intergroup relations and the human capital model. Hypotheses derived from the model were tested using multilevel ordinal logistic analysis with individual and aggregate data from the 2000 U.S. Census for members of 20 non-English language groups. The results lent strong support to p…
Anticipation of migration and psychological stress and the Three Gorges Dam project, China
Perceived Risks and Benefits of the Three Gorges Project
Previous studies found that although the designated migrants in China's Three Gorges region showed strong support for the project, they also expressed concerns about the project's likely negative impact on their family life. A psychological explanation is proposed to reconcile these apparent contradictory findings. The empirical validity of the proposed interpretation is evaluated using survey data collected from rural and urban communities in Wa…
