    Open AccessJasmine Benner, Ashley S Membreno Lopez et al.ARTICLESocieties2026

    Maternal and child health (MCH) disparities remain a critical public health concern in the United States, with the Southern region experiencing some of the nation’s highest maternal mortality rates. Black and Latinx women are disproportionately affected, reflecting persistent structural and systemic inequities. This review examines maternal health disparities among Black and Latinx women in the Southern United States and identifies structural, so…

  • Latina Health Disparities

    Open AccessAshley S Membreno Lopez, Camrynn Cutchin et al.ARTICLESocieties2026Referências: 9

    Despite the growing recognition of social factors that underlie health disparities in historically disenfranchised populations, the health and well-being of Latinas remain underexplored in the extant literature. There are several key challenges for this population, including access to healthcare, mental health disparities, and cultural practices that contribute to Latina health outcomes. By identifying both barriers and protective factors, we wil…

  • Behind Black Women’s Passion

    Open AccessBrianna Z Ro, William Deshields et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2022

    Black women in America have consistently been at the forefront of almost every civil, political, and cultural activist movement. Within the past two decades, Black women have created movements such as Black Lives Matter, the Black Youth Project 100, the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Say Her Name, and Black Girls Vote. Considering these trends, there is a need to understand what factors influence Black women’s commitment to activist movemen…

  • Religiosity, Education, John Henryism Active Coping, and Cardiovascular Responses to Anger Recall for African American Men

    Open AccessMaryam Ayazi, Kayla T Johnson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Black Psychology2018Citada por: 2Referências: 72

    The present study examined if high levels of religious attendance (ORG), private religious activity (NOR), or intrinsic religiosity (SUB) buffer cardiovascular responses to active speech and anger recall lab stressors alone and by John Henryism Active Coping (JHAC) and educational attainment. A sample of 74 healthy African American males, aged 23 to 47 years, completed psychosocial surveys and a lab reactivity protocol involving active speech and…

  • Perceived Control Predicts Pulse Pressure in African American Men

    Labarron K Hill, R S Wright et al.ARTICLEEthnicity & Disease2015

    These findings suggest that greater belief in one's own efficacy is a protective factor for cardiovascular health among African American men. Future research should examine whether enhancing perceived control can have an appreciable impact on the immense CVD burden in this and other at-risk populations

  • Associations amongst disease severity, religious coping and depression in a cohort of Jamaicans with sickle-cell disease

  • Perceived racism and cardiovascular reactivity and recovery to personally relevant stress

    Marcellus M Merritt, Gary G Bennett et al.ARTICLEHealth Psychology2006Citada por: 33Referências: 10

    This study evaluated cardiovascular responses (CVR) to an active speech task with blatantly discriminatory (BRC) versus neutral (NRC) stimuli and an anger recall task in a sample of Black men (N = 73; age 18 to 47). Diastolic blood pressure scores were higher for NRC versus BRC stimuli during anger recall (p = .05). Moreover, persons in the NRC group who perceived high levels of racism (vs. no racism or BRC group) during active speech showed larg…

  • Perceived Racial/Ethnic Harassment and Tobacco Use Among African American Young Adults

    Gary G Bennett, Kathleen Yaus Wolin et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2005Citada por: 88Referências: 6

    We examined the association between perceived racial/ethnic harassment and tobacco use in 2129 African American college students in North Carolina. Age-adjusted and multivariate analyses evaluated the effect of harassment on daily and less-than-daily tobacco use. Harassed participants were twice as likely to use tobacco daily (odds ratio = 2.01; 95% confidence interval=1.94, 2.08) compared with those with no reported harassment experiences. Exper…

  • Stress, coping, and health outcomes among African-Americans

    Gary G Bennett, Marcellus M Merritt et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2004

    The John Henryism (JH) hypothesis argues that prolonged high-effort coping with chronic psychosocial stressors may be associated with elevated risk for negative health outcomes among those without sufficient socioeconomic resources. Early JH studies found a significant association between high JH, low socioeconomic status, and hypertension among African-Americans. More recently, these findings have been extended to a wide array of health status o…

  • Perceived Racism and Affective Responses to Ambiguous Interpersonal Interactions among African American Men

    Open AccessGary G Bennett, Marcellus M Merritt et al.ARTICLEAmerican Behavioral Scientist2004Citada por: 30Referências: 12

    The current study examined affective responses to ambiguous interpersonal interactions containing both ambiguous and overtly racist content. Participants included 74 African American males (ages 18-47), half of whom heard a depiction of a negative social interaction with blatantly racist content (BRC). The remaining participants heard a similar scenario containing no racist content (NRC). Negative affect scores were higher for those in the BRC gr…

  • Depressed Mood Is a Factor in Glycemic Control in Type 1 Diabetes

    Miranda A L van Tilburg, Cynthia C McCaskill et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2001

    OBJECTIVE: The diabetes literature contains conflicting evidence on the relationship between depression and glycemic control. This may be due, in part, to the fact that past studies failed to distinguish between patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Because these are actually completely different diseases that are often treated differently and consequently make different demands on patients, the relationship between glycemic control and depre…
