Perceived Experiences of racism in Relation to Genome-Wide DNA Methylation and Epigenetic Aging in the Black Women’s Health Study
Risk of Covid-19 among front-line health-care workers and the general community: A prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: Data for front-line health-care workers and risk of COVID-19 are limited. We sought to assess risk of COVID-19 among front-line health-care workers compared with the general community and the effect of personal protective equipment (PPE) on risk. METHODS: We did a prospective, observational cohort study in the UK and the USA of the general community, including front-line health-care workers, using self-reported data from the COVID Sym…
Predictors of self‐reported oral health in the Black Women's Health Study
The oral health of US Black women is poorly understood. Correlates of oral health in the BWHS are largely consistent with what has been observed in other populations
Experiences of Racism and Breastfeeding Initiation and Duration Among First-Time Mothers of the Black Women's Health Study
Neighborhood and Individual Socioeconomic Status and Asthma Incidence in African American Women
Objective : Individual socioeconomic status (SES) has been associated with asthma incidence but whether neighborhood SES has an influence is unknown. We assessed the contributions of neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES), neighborhood housing density, neighborhood racial composition, and individual SES to the development of adult-onset asthma in Black women, accounting for other known or suspected risk factors. Design and Participants : Prospec…
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in Relation to All-cause, Cancer, and Cardiovascular Mortality in the Black Women’s Health Study
Lower neighborhood SES is associated with greater risk of mortality among Black women. The presence of the association even among women with high levels of education suggests that individual SES may not overcome the unfavorable influence of neighborhood deprivation
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in Relation to Serum Biomarkers in the Black Women’s Health Study
Racism, Segregation, and Risk of Obesity in the Black Women's Health Study
We assessed the relation of experiences of racism to the incidence of obesity and the modifying impact of residential racial segregation in the Black Women's Health Study, a follow-up study of US black women. Racism scores were created from 8 questions asked in 1997 and 2009 about the frequency of "everyday" racism (e.g., "people act as if you are dishonest") and of "lifetime" racism (e.g., unfair treatment on the job). Residential segregation wa…
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status in Relation to Preterm Birth in a U.S. Cohort of Black Women
Childhood Abuse and Early Menarche: Findings From the Black Women's Health Study
Objectives. We examined the association between childhood abuse and early menarche in a sample of US Black women. Methods. We conducted multivariable log-binomial regression on data from 35 330 participants in the Black Women's Health Study to estimate risk ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the relation of childhood physical and sexual abuse with early age at menarche (i.e., Results. In adjusted analyses, sexual abuse was positively associa…

Racial Discrimination and Breast Cancer Incidence in US Black Women: The Black Women's Health Study
Perceived discrimination may contribute to somatic disease. The association between perceived discrimination and breast cancer incidence was assessed in the Black Women's Health Study. In 1997, participants completed questions on perceived discrimination in two domains: "everyday" discrimination (e.g., being treated as dishonest) and major experiences of unfair treatment due to race (job, housing, and police). Cox proportional hazards models were…
Determinants of sexual activity and its relation to cervical cancer risk among South African Women
Lower socio-economic status, alcohol intake, and being single or black, appear to be determinants of increased sexual activity in South African women. Education had an ambiguous effect. As expected, cervical cancer risk is associated with increased sexual activity. Initiatives to encourage later commencement of sex, and limiting the number of sexual partners would have a favourable impact on risk of cancer of the cervix and other sexually transmi…
Neighborhood Racial Composition and Perceptions of Racial Discrimination: Evidence From the Black Women's Health Study
Little is known about the effects of social context or “place” factors (e.g., characteristics of local populations) on African Americans' perceptions and experiences of racism. Using data from 42,445 U.S. black women collected during the 1997 follow-up wave of the Black Women's Health Study, we investigated the association between neighborhood racial composition (“percent black” at the block-group level in 2000 Census data) and perceptions of rac…
Relation Between Neighborhood Median Housing Value and Hypertension Risk Among Black Women in the United States
Objectives. We examined the relation between median housing value and hypertension risk among US Black women. Methods. We gathered data from the Black Women’s Health Study, a prospective follow-up of 59000 Black women aged 21 to 69 years in 1995. Median housing value from US census data was used to measure neighborhood socioeconomic status. Cases of hypertension were identified through postal questionnaires mailed in 1997, 1999, and 2001. Cluster…

Onset of Natural Menopause in African American Women
Objectives. This study assessed predictors of the onset of natural menopause in African American women. Methods. We used mailed questionnaires to collect data at baseline in 1995 and during follow-up from Black Women’s Health Study participants. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess potential predictors—including experiences of racism—of the onset of natural menopause among 17 070 women aged 35 to 55 years and premenopausal in 19…
Evaluation of Hawaii's Healthy Start Program
Hawaii's Healthy Start Program (HSP) is designed to prevent child abuse and neglect and to promote child health and development in newborns of families at risk for poor child outcomes. The program operates statewide in Hawaii and has inspired national and international adaptations, including Healthy Families America. This article describes HSP, its ongoing evaluation study, and evaluation findings at the end of two of a planned three years of fam…
Self-Reporting of Behavior Problems in Patients with TIC Disorders
Self-awareness of behavioral or emotional problems was examined in 25 children and adolescents with tic disorders by comparing the Youth, Parent, and Teacher forms of the Child Behavior Checklist. In general, their parents reported a significant number of deviant behaviors which were denied by the patients
Hormone replacement therapy: The need for reconsideration
Millions of menopausal women are taking hormone supplements. Observational studies suggest that unopposed estrogens reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and fractures and increase the risk of endometrial cancer and, possibly, breast cancer. In the absence of information from randomized trials, how much of the apparent beneficial effect on heart disease is due to the tendency of healthier women to use these drugs is unknown. The effect on the…
Separation reaction of psychiatrically hospitalized children: A pilot study
Why does family homelessness occur? A case-control study
We compared 49 homeless female-headed families with 81 housed female-headed families in Boston. Most housed families were living in public or private subsidized housing. In both groups the mothers were poor, currently single, had little work experience, and had been on welfare for long periods. Many of their children had serious developmental and emotional problems. Homeless mothers had more frequently been abused as children and battered as adul…
Effect of Marital Discord on Parental Reports on the Child Behavior Checklist
The relationship between indicators of marital discord and differences between parents' reports of the behavior of their children on a symptom/behavior checklist was investigated for a sample of 18 consecutive admissions to an inpatient child psychiatry program. The parents independently and separately were administered the Achenbach and Edelbrock Child Behavior Checklist. An experienced clinician rated the families on three indices of marital di…
Relationship of the Child Behavior Checklist to an Independent Measure of Psychopathology
The parents of 28 patients with Tourette syndrome completed the Child Behavior Checklist. Severity of illness rankings were obtained from the therapist by use of the Q-sort method. Statistically significant positive correlations were obtained between several of the checklist measures and the measure of severity of illness. The results demonstrated a sensitivity of the checklist to variations in degree of dysfunction that if successfully replicate…
Breast cancer and oral contraceptive use
The risk of breast cancer in relation to oral contraceptive use was evaluated in a case-control study of 1191 patients with breast cancer and 5026 control patients. For ever-use compared with never-use, the estimated relative risk of breast cancer was 1.0 (95% confidence interval 0.9-1.2). Use of oral contraceptives for five or more years was not associated with breast cancer, regardless of whether use had ended as much as 10 or more years previo…

Alcoholic beverages and myocardial infarction in young women
Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with a reduction in the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in men. To evaluate this relation in young women, we studied 513 patients with first infarctions and 918 hospital controls, all of whom were less than 50 years of age. The estimated relative risk of MI for current drinkers, after allowance for potential confounding factors, was 0.7 (95 per cent confidence interval. 0.5 - 1.0), and the appar…

Factors associated with oral contraceptive use
We studied factors associated with oral contraceptive (OC) use among 1,855 premenopausal women who were admitted to hospital with conditions unrelated to OC use. Among this group, 15 per cent reported having used OCs within the preceding year and 35 per cent reported having last used them more than a year previously. A higher estrogenic dose (more than 60 micrograms) was reported by past users; the relationship of numerous other variables to past…

Cigarette smoking and age at natural menopause
In a cohort of 656 naturally postmenopausal women who were interviewed at age 60 to 69 years, and was had reached their menopause between the ages of 35 and 59 years, the mean age at menopause declined with increasing number of cigarettes smoked, from 49.4 years of age among women who had never smoked to 47.6 years of age among women who smoked at least 15 cigarettes per day (p less than 0.02). The relationship was not attributable to the onset o…

Limitations of Brief Intelligence Testing with Young Children
The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale overestimated seriously the prevalance of retardation in 28 poverty-area kindergarten-age children. Statistically significant differences were found between the mean IQ scores on those two tests and Stanford-Binet IQs. Less severe differences obtained for 29 Ss enrolled in a poverty-area first-grade

Hartz, et al, Respond
Also, almost 90 per cent of the hospital sample was from the Northeast region, where oral contraceptive use was less common than in other re- gions; in the 1973 NSFG, for example, 21.5 per cent of married women in the Northeast were using the pill, com- pared with 26.0 per cent in the other re- gions
Aspirin and myocardial infarction in young women
To assess whether aspirin reduces the risk of a first myocardial infarction (MI) in young women, we evaluated data from a case-control study among women less than 50 years of age without a prior MI: 48 of 551 cases of MI and 67 of 896 hospital controls had taken aspirin regularly for at least 12 weeks immediately before admission. The relative risk estimate was 0.8 upon allowance for confounding factors but it was not statistically significant (9…
