Illegal Eviction and Risk of Severe Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
Residential evictions and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are worsening public health crises, with documented racial inequities, though few studies have examined their association. Using qualitative and quantitative data from the (ANONYMIZED FOR REVIEW); 2021-2024; n=1428) we used Poisson regression with robust error variance to estimate risk of severe GAD (score 15+) associated with 5 measures of eviction, by type, recency, and life-stage. To…

Neighborhood Threat of Eviction over Time and Risk of Preterm Birth in Black American Women
Residential Evictions by Life Course, Type, and Timing, and Associations with Self-rated Health
Few existing data sources quantify the magnitude of court-ordered and illegal residential evictions, among historically marginalized groups. We describe the Social Epidemiology to Combat Unjust Residential Evictions (SECURE) Study (2021-2024; n = 1,428; 91.1% response rate) methodology and participant characteristics. Univariable and multivariable statistics including Spearman correlations were used to describe data. Unadjusted and adjusted modif…
Reproductive Justice as Intersectional Feminist Activism
Reproductive justice activists have dynamically used the concept of intersectionality as a source of empowerment to propel one of the most important shifts in reproductive politics in recent history. In the tradition of the Combahee River Collective, twelve Black women working within and outside the pro-choice movement in 1994 coined the term “reproductive justice” to “recognize the commonality of our experiences and, from the sharing and growing…
Storytelling in SisterSong and the Voices of Feminism Project
Self-help was born out of need. The way that racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, and heterosexism have influenced our lives creates interlocking systems of oppression that affect us. Because of the history of colonization and erasure, women of color are not often found authoring history texts about participation in the reproductive rights movement. Sophia Smith Collection (SSC) launched the Voices of Feminism Project in 2002 with support from W…
