State Politics and Policies and Racialized Disability Patterns among Midlife Adults in the United States, 2008–2019
The bodily scars of legal violence: Local immigration enforcement, state immigrant policy, and health inequality
Over the past three decades in the United States, a surge of federal, state, and local laws and policies has increased levels of immigration enforcement and eroded immigrant access to public services and benefits. While a large body of research documents the deleterious effects of these forms of legal violence for a range of immigrant outcomes like poverty, employment, and schooling, the health consequences of these sociopolitical shifts for agin…
Heterogeneous and racialized impacts of state incarceration policies on birth outcomes in the United States
While state incarceration policies have received much attention in research on the causes of mass incarceration in the United States, their roles in shaping population health and health disparities remain largely unknown. Merging data on state incarceration policies to vital statistics birth records from 1984 to 2004, we examine the impacts of two signature state incarceration policies adopted during the "tough on crime" era of the 1990s-three st…
The affective strategies of White unknowing: How police violence reveals the expression of racialized emotions on Twitter
Racism shapes the ways racialized actors and groups feel about the social world, but how does racism get reproduced through affective politics, the unequal ways White and Black Americans express feeling-or unfeeling-and consequently act-or don't act-in response to racist violence? We use Twitter data and a combination of computational sentiment and qualitative content analyses to document and interrogate the racialized expression of emotions in r…
State-Level Paid Sick Leave Policies and Population Mental Health during the Covid-19 Pandemic in the United States
Financial hardship was pervasive during the COVID-19 pandemic, with adverse consequences for mental health. However, access to state-level paid sick leave during the pandemic had the potential to reduce the mental health burden of financial hardship—a possibility that has not been tested in prior research. Using nationally representative survey data on more than 1.7 million individuals from the Household Pulse Survey (August 2020 to November 2022…
Structural Racism and Quantitative Causal Inference: A Life Course Mediation Framework for Decomposing Racial Health Disparities
Quantitative studies of racial health disparities often use static measures of self-reported race and conventional regression estimators, which critics argue is inconsistent with social-constructivist theories of race, racialization, and racism. We demonstrate an alternative counterfactual approach to explain how multiple racialized systems dynamically shape health over time, examining racial inequities in cardiometabolic risk in the National Lon…
The health impacts of eviction: Evidence from the national longitudinal study of adolescent to adult health
Criminal Justice Contacts and Psychophysiological Functioning in Early Adulthood: Health Inequality in the Carceral State
Despite increased attention to the links between the criminal justice system and health, how criminal justice contacts shape health and contribute to racial health disparities remains to be better understood. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 5,488) and several analytic techniques-including a quasi-treatment-control design, treatment-weighting procedures, and mediation analyses-this study examines …
Longer-but Harder-Lives: The Hispanic Health Paradox and the Social Determinants of Racial, Ethnic, and Immigrant-Native Health Disparities from Midlife through Late Life
Though Hispanics live long lives, whether a 'Hispanic paradox' extends to older-age health remains unclear, as do the social processes underlying racial-ethnic and immigrant-native health disparities. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (2004-2012; N = 6,581), we assess the health of U.S.- and foreign-born Hispanics relative to U.S.-born whites and blacks and examine the socioeconomic, stress, and behavioral pathways contributing to h…
