Attributing Inequality and Amplifying Distress
Developing and testing a system alignment approach to address homelessness among black fathers in Atlanta, GA
Homelessness is a profound public health crisis in the United States, elevating risks for chronic illness, mental health disorders, substance use, and family instability. Homelessness response systems remain structurally centered on maternal caregiving, routinely barring adult men, including fathers, from accessing family shelters.

There is a critical public health crisis regarding the infant mortality rate between black and white mothers in the USA. This issue is more pronounced in North Carolina, where black infants have a much higher infant mortality rate than whites. We utilized a qualitative approach to understand the paternal support of black mothers during the perinatal period. Purposive sampling was used to recruit parents from an infant development center to conduc…

Descriptive, univariate, and multiple linear regression analyses assessed RBTS symptom severity and its relationship with various coping behaviors, controlling for sociodemographic factors lik…
The Consequences of Misdiagnosing Race-Based Trauma Response in Black Men
Mental illness is a significant public health concern prevalent in America. Over one in five U.S. adults are affected, yet less than half receive treatment. Among African Americans, only one in three seek treatment with statically lower rates among Black males. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment, while misdiagnosis leads to stigma, discrimination, and untreated illness. This paper examines the implications of mi…
