Mental Health and Physiological Biomarkers Under Legal Uncertainty
OBJECTIVES: Asylum, grounded in international law, provides protection to individuals fleeing persecution, war, or violence by ensuring legal residency, fundamental rights, and pathways to integration, while reflecting the global commitment to human dignity, justice, and solidarity. Using data from asylum seekers and non-asylum seekers within a shared context of displacement in three asylum centers in Serbia, we examined the associations between …
Men of Color Health Awareness intervention
Introduction: A randomized controlled trial (#NCT03745703) assessed the efficacy of a tailored stress reduction intervention (Men of Color Health Awareness; MOCHA) aimed at improving the health of middle-aged African-American men. The present paper presents an exploratory study of whether the intervention affected chronic output of the stress hormone cortisol using the novel approach of measuring cortisol accumulation in fingernail samples. Each …
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) from Posthumanist Perspective
This study explores Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) through a posthumanist perspective, highlighting its potential to reshape higher education by challenging traditional humanist paradigms of knowledge validation. RPL acknowledges non-linear, experiential, and technologically mediated learning, disrupting institutional authority and fostering decentralized accreditation systems. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the study examines t…
Associations Between Prenatal Maternal Stress and Infant Resting Brain Activity
Mounting evidence suggests that maternal stress is associated with infants’ brain activity, but the role of maternal stress during pregnancy is not yet understood. The present preregistered investigation examines associations between prenatal maternal stress (physiological and perceived) and infant brain activity at 1 month of age. A sample of diverse mother–infant dyads ( N = 160) participated (55% female; 39% White). Maternal physiological stre…
Mocha Moving Forward
Despite retention challenges, findings suggest MOCHA is a promising intervention for stress and chronic disease risk reduction among men of color. The significant outcomes observed among completers highlight the program's potential and provide critical insights for improving the feasibility of future community-based interventions. Future research should explore scalable adaptations and further refine MOCHA's culturally tailored content to better …
Child biological stress and maternal caregiving style are associated with school readiness
Transient refugees' social support, mental health, and physiological markers
OBJECTIVES: Refugees seeking safety across international borders are often exposed to a wide breadth of psychosocially stressful experiences that may fracture existing sources of social support and impair the generation of new social relationships, with implications for their long-term health and resilience. Using data from recently settled refugees in two asylum centers in Serbia, we examined the associations between social support, mental healt…
Co-Rooming Accounts for Socioeconomic Disparities in Infant Sleep Quality among Families Living in Urban Environments
Poor infant sleep quality is associated with negative maternal and infant health outcomes. This study measures socioeconomic disparities in infant sleep quality, and assesses whether child sleep location and maternal stress mediate associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and infant sleep quality. The study includes 86 socioeconomically diverse, mother-infant dyads living in an urban area with infants aged 6-12 months. Mothers reported soc…
Forced migration experiences, mental well-being, and nail cortisol among recently settled refugees in Serbia
Aggression and social support predict long‐term cortisol levels in captive tufted capuchin monkeys ( Cebus [Sapajus] apella )
Many nonhuman primates live in complex social groups in which they regularly encounter both social stressors such as aggression and social support such as that provided by long‐term affiliative relationships. Repeated exposure to social stressors may result in chronically elevated cortisol levels that can have deleterious physical effects such as impaired immune function, cardiovascular disease, and reduced brain function. In contrast, affiliativ…
Quantification of hair cortisol concentration in common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus ) and tufted capuchins ( Cebus apella )
Quantifying cortisol concentration in hair is a non-invasive biomarker of long-term hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activation, and thus can provide important information on laboratory animal health. Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) and capuchins (Cebus apella) are New World primates increasingly used in biomedical and neuroscience research, yet published hair cortisol concentrations for these species are limited. Review of the existing publis…
A longitudinal study of hair cortisol concentrations in Macaca nemestrina mothers and infants
Cortisol is a well-known glucocorticoid that can be used as a biomarker of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical activity. To explore basal cortisol physiology during pregnancy and infancy in Macaca nemestrina monkeys, hair was collected from a convenience sample of 22 healthy mother-infant dyads. Adult females were housed in pairs as part of a small breeding colony at the Washington National Primate Research Center and infants were reared in a s…
Differential relationships between chronic hormone profiles in pregnancy and maternal investment in rhesus monkey mothers with hair loss in the neonatal period
Hair loss is commonly used as an indicator of well being in primate facilities, yet it has been shown to also occur in otherwise healthy pregnant and postpartum females. There is significant variability in the incidence of hair loss during these important developmental periods, reasons for which remain unclear. We studied female rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta , n = 47) with and without hair loss in pregnancy/postpartum. We hypothesized that, sim…
Responses to the Human Intruder Test are related to hair cortisol phenotype and sex in rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
Measurement of cortisol in hair provides a chronic index of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and has been applied to assessments of temperament (stable behavioral differences between individuals). However, the extent to which chronically high HPA axis activity relates to a correspondingly high degree of behavioral reactivity is as yet unknown. Therefore, the goal of the present experiment was to assess the relationship between h…
Assessing significant (>30%) alopecia as a possible biomarker for stress in captive rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta )
Hair loss is common in macaque colonies. Very little is known about the relationship between psychological stress and hair loss. We initially examined alopecia and hair cortisol concentrations in 198 (89 male) rhesus macaques from three primate centers and demonstrated replicability of our previous finding that extensive alopecia (>30% hair loss) is associated with increased chronic cortisol concentrations and significantly affected by facility. …
Assessing reproductive profiles in female brown mouse lemurs ( Microcebus rufus ) from Ranomafana National Park, southeast Madagascar, using fecal hormone analysis
Studies on reproductive endocrinology in wild primate populations have greatly increased in the last decades owing to the development of noninvasive techniques that can be applied under field conditions. However, small‐bodied nocturnal species are not well represented on the long list of primates surveyed in the wild, and reproductive inferences regarding these animals in their natural habitats have not benefited from direct observations of hormo…
Extinction deficits in male rhesus macaques with a history of self‐injurious behavior
Self‐injurious behavior (SIB) occurs in both human and nonhuman primate populations. Despite the potential for harm, SIB may persist in part because of an inability to inhibit behavior that results in wounding. A lever‐pressing task was used to test the prediction that monkeys with SIB would show greater persistence in lever‐pressing on extinction trials than monkeys without the disorder. The subjects were 15 individually‐housed adult male rhesus…
Noninvasive technique for the repeated sampling of salivary free cortisol in awake, unrestrained squirrel monkeys
The use of noninvasive measures of hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis function is of growing interest among preclinical and clinical investigators. This report describes a method for the repeated assessment of salivary free cortisol in awake, unrestrained squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri sciureus ) based on a saliva sampling technique previously developed for rhesus monkeys. Individually housed adult male squirrel monkeys were trained to chew on…
Techniques for collecting saliva from awake, unrestrained, adult monkeys for cortisol assay
Cortisol levels serve as an index of pituitary-adrenal activity in nonhuman primates. In adult monkeys, cortisol is normally measured in blood (typically requiring restraint or sedation) or urine (reflecting a state rather than point estimate). In contrast, saliva collection is less invasive than drawing blood and allows for repeated sampling within a short period of time. Although protocols exist for collecting saliva from young monkeys, these p…
