Discrimination and risk of spontaneous abortion in a preconception cohort study
Implementing Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring as a Tool for Advancing Maternal Health Equity
Background: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are leading contributors to maternal morbidity and mortality. Black and Latina birthing people are disproportionately impacted. Remote blood pressure monitoring (RBPM) has emerged as a promising strategy to address these inequities; however, limited research has explored patient perspectives on program experience and implementation, especially in diverse populations. Methods: We conducted a qu…
Exploring Condom Use Among Adult Cisgender Black Women in Texas
BACKGROUND: Cisgender Black women (CBW) remain disproportionately affected by HIV in the United States. Condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are an effective and reliable method for reducing acquisition and transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, consistent condom use among CBW is mixed. This study aimed to garner a contemporary conceptualization of factors impacting condom use among CBW with male …
Navigating an STI diagnosis
Black women face a myriad of challenges that heighten their susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), resulting in a disproportionate impact of STIs among this population. Yet, there is a lack of research that explores how women navigate these diagnoses with resilience. Instead, much of the prevention research on Black women's sexual health and wellness reflects a deficit orientation and focuses on risk. In the current study, we a…
Dèyè mòn, gen mòn
Haitian women face heightened risk of contracting HIV and encounter challenges in accessing quality care due to sociocultural and economic barriers. Stigma compounds these challenges, especially for pregnant women living with HIV. Globally, HIV-related stigma is a recognized barrier to testing, treatment, and prevention, contributing to low testing rates and substandard treatment and care. This study examines sources and origins of stigma that im…
Experiences of discrimination across the life course among pregnancy planners in the United States and Canada
Little is known about discrimination among pregnancy planners. We used questionnaire data from Pregnancy Study Online (PRESTO), a preconception cohort study, to characterize experiences, attributions, and responses to discrimination (n = 10,460). Eligible participants were assigned female at birth, aged 21-45 years, U.S. or Canadian residents, and not using contraception or fertility treatment. Participants completed a supplemental questionnaire …

Engaging Historically Excluded Women in Health Research
An Exploratory Examination of the Ubiquity of the "Strong Black Woman" Schema
Research has shown that internalization of the Strong Black Woman (SBW) Schema is associated with negative psychological outcomes, such as depression and anxiety. The current study aimed to determine the ubiquity of the SBW Schema by exploring the extent to which Black women who endorse schema characteristics do so consistently or differently across demographic characteristics including age, income level, marital status, and motherhood status. Bl…
I can do bad all by myself”
Findings from this study suggest that Black women experience impairing depressive symptoms, which can be explained by race and gender-specific stress-coping ideologies and behaviors, specifically, the SBW schema. Furthermore, the SBW schema is a factor that may contribute to adverse mental health outcomes among Black women vis-à-vis decreased support-seeking beliefs. We discuss the implications of these findings and how these results can help fac…
Reframing Sexual Health for Black Girls and Women in HIV/STI Prevention Work
While Black girls and women are disproportionately impacted by sexual health disparities, there continues to be an overwhelming focus on individual risk behaviors within prevention initiatives, which offers a fragmented narrative of the multidimensional nature of risk and plausibly limits effectiveness of prevention programs and attenuates reductions in disparities. Because sexual health is experienced within an individual's beliefs/values, inter…
Becoming Strong
This study examines the precedents and consequences of Black girls' Strong Black Woman schema (SBW) endorsement. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that, among Black girls (N= 308), racial discrimination experiences and racial barrier socialization messages were positively associated with SBW endorsement. However, there was no significant interaction between racial discrimination and racial barrier messages in predicting SBW endorsement. O…

Considerations for employing intersectionality in qualitative health research
African American Adolescent Girls' Beliefs About Skin Tone and Colorism
Colorism is a pervasive system of inequality shown to negatively affect psychosocial and economic outcomes among African American adults. Among African American women and girls in particular, the social and psychological implications of colorist practices can be severe. The present study aimed to better understand African American girls' understanding of this phenomenon during adolescence. Using a phenomenological approach, interviews and focus g…

Change in Risk Perceptions and Marijuana and Cigarette Use Among African American Young Adult Females in an HIV Prevention Intervention
Ethnic Comparisons in HIV Testing Attitudes, HIV Testing, and Predictors of HIV Testing Among Black and White College Students
Reducing disparities and achieving equity in African American women’s health
The colloquial phrase "Black Don't Crack" refers to perceptions of African American women retaining youthful features over time and seemingly defying the aging process. This conjecture appears to only be skin deep, as across almost every health indicator, African American women fare worse than women in other racial/ethnic groups. African American women experience excess morbidity in obesity, diabetes, and adverse birth outcomes, and are more like…
Conducting community-engaged qualitative research in South Africa
The influence of intersectional identities on social experiences is most often explored within research on minority populations (e.g. LGBT, African American women, etc.). However few, if any, studies have extended the subject of intersectionality to address the intersectional identities of researchers or their influence on the conduct of qualitative research in international settings. Through reflexive memoirs offered from student researchers tha…
Development and Validation of a Preliminary Measure of African American Women's Gender Role Beliefs
Gender role beliefs of African American women differ from those of women in other ethnic/racial groups and a culturally valid measure of their gender role beliefs is needed. Three studies were conducted to develop a preliminary measure. In Study 1, focus groups were conducted with a community and college sample of 44 African American women. Transcripts reviewed resulted in an initial pool of 40 items. These items were reviewed by an expert panel …
Fear of Negative Evaluation as a Mediator of the Relation between Academic Stress, Anxiety and Depression in a Sample of Ghanaian College Students
This study examined the mediator effects of the fear of negative evaluation (FNE) on the relation between academic stress and psychological symptoms in a sample of Ghanaian college students (N = 431). A multi-step structural equation modelling (SEM) procedure was used to test the specified mediator model and several fit indices were calculated to assess how well the model fit the data. In addition, path coefficients were calculated to determine w…
Distant but relative
This study demonstrates that the conceptualization of gender role beliefs, although at times similar, diverges among culturally different groups. To account for these and other culturally nuanced differences, measures of gender role beliefs should be culturally tailored and culturally specific. However, researchers have largely excluded ethnic minority women in the development of the most widely used measures of gender role beliefs in the U.S. Th…

Considerations for employing intersectionality in qualitative health research
Carrying the World With the Grace of a Lady and the Grit of a Warrior
Across varied disciplines, attempts have been made to capture the multidimensionality of Black womanhood under a unifying framework illustrative of Black women’s perceived roles, responsibilities, and experiences of intersectional oppression. The result has been the emergence of a number of divergent but overlapping constructs (e.g., Superwoman Schema, Sojourner Truth Syndrome, Sisterella Complex, and Strong Black Woman [SBW] Schema). The goal of…

What's Color Got To Do With It? Skin Color, Skin Color Satisfaction, Racial Identity, and Internalized Racism Among African American College Students
Although skins tone perceptions influence the African American community, less is known about how skin color satisfaction differs across complexion. Employing an intersectionality framework, the current study assessed (a) the relationships between gender, self-reported skin color, skin color satisfaction, and the private regard aspect of racial identity; (b) whether skin color satisfaction moderates the relationship between perceived skin color a…
Assessing the Psychological Consequences of Internalized Colonialism on the Psychological Well-Being of Young Adults in Ghana
This study examined the psychometric properties of a revised version of the Colonial Mentality Scale in a sample Ghanaian young adults (CMS-G; N = 431). In addition, the degree to which mental health and self- and group-concept was effected by internalized notions of colonial mentality was assessed. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the underlying factor structure of the CMS-G. The findings indicated that the…

Heart Rate Variability as a Correlate of Trauma Symptom Expression, Psychological Well-Being, and Emotion Regulation in African Americans With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
This study examined the relationship between heart rate variability, trauma symptom expression, and psychological distress in a sample ( N = 28) of African Americans with traumatic spinal cord injury. Participants’ heart rate (R-R interval) was recorded at baseline, during a mental arithmetic task, and then again at recovery. Heart rate variability was indexed as the root mean square of successive difference (rMSSD) of participants’ R-R interval.…
