The Longitudinal Association between Gendered Racism and Disease Activity among Black Women Living with Lupus
Gendered racism, rooted in the interlocking injustices of racism and sexism, is a contributor to poor mental health; its association with physical health outcomes, however, is not well understood. This study investigates whether gendered racism is associated with disease activity among Black women living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Data are from the Vascular Aging, Inflammation, and Stress in African American Women’s Health Research …
Superwoman schema and arterial stiffness in Black American women: Assessing the Role of Environmental Mastery
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that the Superwoman Schema (SWS)-the sociocultural representation of Black women as naturally strong, independent, and nurturing-may play an important role in Black women's cardiovascular health; but findings have been relatively mixed. One interesting possibility is that environmental mastery, a sense of control over one's environment, may mitigate negative aspects of SWS. PURPOSE: We investigated whether m…
Black Women as Superwomen? The Mental Health Effects of Superwoman Schema, Socioeconomic Status, and Financial Strain
Informed by Black feminist thought and intersectionality, Superwoman Schema (SWS) is a construct that captures a collective response of Black women to racial and gender marginalization by highlighting expectations that they exude strength, suppress emotions, resist vulnerability, succeed despite limitations, and help others to their own self-neglect. Using a sample of Black women (N = 390) in early-midlife (between 30 and 46 years old; M = 37.54 …
Financial Hardship and Sleep Quality Among Black American Women With and Without Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
OBJECTIVE: To compare dimensions of financial hardship and self-reported sleep quality among Black women with versus without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: Participants were 402 Black women (50% with validated diagnosis of SLE) living in Georgia between 2017 and 2020. Black women with SLE were recruited from a population-based cohort established in Atlanta, and Black women without SLE were recruited to be of comparable age and from …
Does stress from incarceration of family and friends contribute to signs of early vascular ageing in African American women
BACKGROUND: Early vascular ageing (EVA) contributes to elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which disproportionately affects African American women. Incarceration, an event disproportionately impacting African Americans, may be a stressor contributing to EVA in African American women. Further, the subjective perspective, commonly referred to as appraisal, of incarceration may also be important for health. We hypothesised that having fam…
