Race Against Time: Fluid Racial Identity and Trajectories of Mental Health From Adolescence to Midlife
Contexts, kin and cognition: Effects of living arrangements and family resources on the cognitive function of older adults in Vietnam
Immigrant Generation and Depressive Symptom Trajectories from Early Adolescence to Midlife: Evidence from Add Health
Using 20,771 participants from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we examined depressive symptom trajectories by immigrant generation from adolescence to midlife. Depressive symptoms were assessed across five waves using a validated four-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale. Linear mixed effects models with a quintic polynomial age trajectory indicated that first- and second-generation immigrants repo…
Depressive symptom trajectories from adolescence to midlife among Latin Americans in the United States: Variation by generation and region of origin
Research on mental health among Latin Americans in the United States remains inconclusive in part because prior studies have not adequately distinguished immigrant generation and national origin differences. To examine how depressive symptoms evolve from adolescence through midlife among U.S. Latin Americans, we analyzed five waves of data from 3525 self-identified Hispanic/Latino participants in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to A…
Climate Gaps: Disparities in residential air conditioning access across ten US metropolitan areas
Geographic and social inequalities in public school proximity to active landfills in the U.S
Changes in Smoking Prevalence from Adolescence to Adulthood among Asian Americans: Evidence of Selective Acculturation across Gender
It is well established that immigrant adolescents have lower smoking rates than their native-born counterparts. Although smoking rates among immigrants have been theorized to increase with U.S. acculturation, this hypothesis has seldom been tested using longitudinal data spanning multiple developmental stages. The authors address this limitation using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to model age-based smoki…
Racialized Health Inequities: Quantifying Socioeconomic and Stress Pathways Using Moderated Mediation
Racism drives population health inequities by shaping the unequal distribution of key social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic resources and exposure to stressors. Research on interrelationships among race, socioeconomic resources, stressors, and health has proceeded along two lines that have largely remained separate: one examining differential effects of socioeconomic resources and stressors on health across racialized groups (moder…
Diversion and Restorative Justice: Salt Lake Peer Court Disrupting Disproportionate Minority Contact
There is an increased acceptance of youth courts grounded in restorative justice principles to divert first-time nonviolent offenders away from formal juvenile court entry. Research assessing the effectiveness of various teen/peer courts is mixed, and focuses mainly on recidivism. This study analyzes 2010 to 2016 Salt Lake Peer Court data to examine the relationship legal and extralegal variables have on the participation in and completion of thi…
Illness, Social Disadvantage, and Sexual Risk Behavior in Adolescence and the Transition to Adulthood
Ethnicity and acculturation: Asian American substance use from early adolescence to mature adulthood
Research on Asian American substance use has, to date, been limited by monolithic conceptions of Asian identity, inadequate attention to acculturative processes, and a dearth of longitudinal analyses spanning multiple developmental periods. Using five waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this study addresses these limitations by longitudinally investigating disparities in substance use from early adolescence int…
Sexual Orientation Disparities in Pregnancy and Infant Outcomes
The Impact of Sexual Satisfaction, Functioning, and Perceived Contraceptive Effects on Sex Life on IUD and Implant Continuation at 1 Year
Race-Ethnicity and Health Trajectories: Tests of Three Hypotheses across Multiple Groups and Health Outcomes
Racial-ethnic disparities in static levels of health are well documented. Less is known about racial-ethnic differences in age trajectories of health. The few studies on this topic have examined only single health outcomes and focused on black-white disparities. This study extends prior research by using a life course perspective, panel data from the Health and Retirement Study, and multilevel growth curve models to investigate racial-ethnic diff…
Racial Differences in Depression Trajectories among Older Women: Socioeconomic, Family, and Health Influences
Despite recent increases in life course research on mental illness, important questions remain about the social patterning of, and explanations for, depression trajectories among women in later life. The authors investigate competing theoretical frameworks for the age patterning of depressive symptoms and the physical health, socioeconomic, and family mechanisms differentiating black and white women. Using data from the National Longitudinal Surv…
Pathways to the All-Volunteer Military
OBJECTIVES: The present study investigates the role of a disadvantaged background, the lack of social connectedness, and behavioral problems in channeling young men to the opportunities of the all-volunteer military instead of to college and the labor market. METHODS: Data from three waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health in the United States. The analytic sample consists of 6,938 white, black, and other males. RESULTS: The…
Structure and Stress: Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms across Adolescence and Young Adulthood
Previous research into the social distribution of early life depression has yielded inconsistent results regarding subgroup differences in depression levels and in the etiology of these differences. Using latent curve models and data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, this study investigates gender and racial/ethnic disparities in early life depressive symptoms and the explanatory roles of stress and socioeconomic status (…
Toward a Unified Stratification Theory: Structure, Genome, and Status across Human Societies
While social scientists and geneticists have a shared interest in the personal characteristics instrumental to status attainment, little has been done to integrate these disparate perspectives. This is unfortunate, as the perspectives offer complementary insights, which, if properly combined, stand to substantially improve understanding of the stratification process. This article synthesizes research from the social sciences and genetics to devel…
Early Environmental Correlates of Maternal Emotion Talk
OBJECTIVE: The primary goal of this study was to examine contextual, child, and maternal factors that are associated with mothers' early emotion talk in an ethnically diverse, low-income sample. DESIGN: Emotion talk (positive and negative labels) was coded for 1111 mothers while engaged with their 7-month-olds in viewing an emotion-faces picture book. Infant attention during the interaction was also coded. Mothers' parenting style (positive engag…
Societal development and the shifting influence of the genome on status attainment
How Is a Statistical Link Established Between a Human Outcome and a Genetic Variant
The objective of this article is to provide a nontechnical and intuitive introduction to the basic concepts and techniques that are used to establish statistical connections between genetic variants and human phenotypes. Depressive symptoms and delinquent behaviors that are of interest to sociologists are a subset of such human phenotypes. This article focuses on basic linkage analysis and association studies, the essential ideas behind the metho…
