“By Helping Others, I Help Me”: Examining the Impact of the Sawubona Healing Circle—A Qualitative Study
Ongoing anti-Black racism impacts daily life for many Black people across the globe. The Association of Black Psychologists developed the Sawubona Healing Circles (SHCs) for Black people to have a space to process and heal from anti-Black racism. The objective of this qualitative study was to understand the impact of the SHCs on attendees. Ten adults who self-identified as Black completed qualitative interviews on their experiences participating …
“It should have been my decision”: A mixed methods investigation of contraceptive coercion among U.S. patients with and without disabilities
BACKGROUND: People with disabilities have long faced threats to their bodily autonomy and reproductive decision-making. One such threat, provider-based contraceptive coercion, occurs when healthcare providers pressure patients to use (upward coercion) or not use (downward coercion) birth control. Yet, modern experiences of contraceptive coercion among people with disabilities remain underexplored. METHODS: In 2023, we surveyed U.S. reproductive-a…
Penalizing Parenthood and Perpetuating Poverty: Black Parents’ Perspectives on Wisconsin’s Birth Cost Recovery Policy
Social safety-net policies and programs are often a double-edged sword—they provide necessary resources, but also punish poor Americans. In Wisconsin, one policy that exemplifies this pattern is Birth Cost Recovery, a state-enforced cost recovery policy through which unmarried, non-custodial fathers are required to repay Medicaid-covered delivery expenses. Supporters assert that Birth Cost Recovery promotes paternal responsibility and increases t…
Racial disparities in intrapartum care experiences and birth hospital characteristics
Policymakers and researchers have posited intrapartum care as a potential mediator of racial inequities in perinatal outcomes. However, few studies have measured patient-centered quality of intrapartum care or explored differences by race. To address this gap, we developed a survey supplement using cognitive interviewing and administered it to a probability-based race-stratified random sample of people who recently gave birth in Wisconsin in 2020…
Association between the use of electronic cigarettes and myocardial infarction in U.S. adults
The results suggest that former and someday users of e-cigarettes probably have increased odds of myocardial infarction in adults in the U.S. Further research is needed, including long-term follow-up studies on e-cigarettes, since it is still unknown whether they should be discouraged
The Causal Effect of Increasing Area-Level Income on Birth Outcomes and Pregnancy-Related Health: Estimates From the Marcellus Shale Boom Economy
Income is positively correlated with pregnancy health and birth outcomes, but the causal evidence for this association is limited. Leveraging a natural experiment based on the Pennsylvania boom economy created by the extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale geological formation, we test whether area-level income gains impact birth outcomes (birth weight, gestational length, and preterm birth) and pregnancy health (prepregnancy and prena…

Addressing health-compromising eating behaviors and attitudes among Latinx emerging adults might be one effective means to addressing the negative consequences of discrimination on weight-related outcomes. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
Experiences of Discrimination and Sexual Behaviors: An Examination of Motives as Potential Psychological Mediators
Objectives: We investigated three psychological mechanisms that may underlie the associations between discrimination and sexual activity: emotion regulation, autonomy restoration, and intimacy building. Methods: An online survey was administered to a diverse sample of 565 undergraduate students at a large public university. Results: Having sex to mitigate negative emotions mediated the associations between self-reported discrimination and lifetim…

Maternal educational attainment and infant mortality in the United States: Does the gradient vary by race/ethnicity and nativity
Maternal education-infant health gradients are flatter among foreign-born mothers than U.S.-born mothers; However, because common metrics of infant health are less predictive of infant mortality for some racial/ethnic and nativity groups, further study of
Income Disparities in the Prevalence, Severity, and Costs of Co-occurring Chronic and Behavioral Health Conditions
BACKGROUND: Behavioral health problems usually co-occur along with physical health problems, resulting in higher health care costs. These co-occurring conditions are likely to be more prevalent and serious among low income patients, affecting both the quality and costs of care. OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence, severity, and health care costs of co-occurring chronic and behavioral health conditions among low income people compared with higher…
From the West Indies to Africa: A universal generational decline in health among blacks in the United States
Intergenerational differences in smoking among West Indian, Haitian, Latin American, and African blacks in the United States
Due in large part to increased migration from Africa and the Caribbean, black immigrants and their descendants are drastically changing the contours of health disparities among blacks in the United States. While prior studies have examined health variation among black immigrants by region of birth, few have explored the degree of variation in health behaviors, particularly smoking patterns, among first- and second- generation black immigrants by …
Commentary: Reconsidering the Role of Context in Diabetes Prevention
A substantial gap remains between what we know about type 2 diabetes prevention and our ability to apply that knowledge in socially disadvantaged populations at highest risk. This gap results, in part, from a lack of integration between epidemiologic science and social psychology theory, particularly regarding the intersections of stress, self-regulatory health behaviors, and the biological mechanisms underlying the development of diabetes. In th…
The role of feature-based discrimination in driving health disparities among Black Americans
Objective: A growing body of research finds that darker skin tone is often associated with poorer physical and mental health in Blacks. However, the psychosocial mechanisms underlying the skin tone-health link remain elusive. The present study seeks to address this knowledge gap by investigating the direct and indirect (through perceived discrimination, socioeconomic status, and self-esteem) effects of skin tone on self-reported physical and ment…
Region of Birth and Child Mortality among Black Migrants to South Africa: Is there a foreign-born advantage
Much of the existing evidence for the healthy immigrant advantage comes from developed countries. We investigate whether an immigrant health advantage exists in South Africa, an important emerging economy. Using the 2001 South African Census, this study examines differences in child mortality between native-born South African and immigrant blacks. We find that accounting for region of origin is critical: immigrants from southern Africa are more l…
Health Assimilation among Hispanic Immigrants in the United States: The Impact of Ignoring Arrival-cohort Effects
A large literature has documented that Hispanic immigrants have a health advantage over their U.S.-born counterparts upon arrival in the United States. Few studies, however, have disentangled the effects of immigrants' arrival cohort from their tenure of U.S. residence, an omission that could produce imprecise estimates of the degree of health decline experienced by Hispanic immigrants as their U.S. tenure increases. Using data from the 1996-to-2…
Hispanic Self-identification and Birth Weight Outcomes among U.S.- and Foreign-born Blacks
Black infants are more likely to suffer from poor health at birth compared to non-blacks. However, most existing infant health research focuses solely on non-Hispanic blacks and fails to consider the role of ethnic self-identification on infant health disparities. Using 2002 Vital Statistics Natality Data, this paper investigates whether Hispanic ethnicity is related to birth weight among U.S.- and foreign-born black mothers. The results from reg…

Under the Skin: Using Theories From Biology and the Social Sciences to Explore the Mechanisms Behind the Black–White Health Gap
Equity and social well-being considerations make Black-White health disparities an area of important concern. Although previous research suggests that discrimination- and poverty-related stressors play a role in African American health outcomes, the mechanisms are unclear. Allostatic load is a concept that can be employed to demonstrate how environmental stressors, including psychosocial ones, may lead to a cumulative physiological toll on the bo…
