The Impact of Hearing and Vision Impairment on Objective and Subjective Social Isolation From Family, Friends, and Congregation Members
This study examined the association between hearing and vision sensory impairment and objective and subjective social isolation from extended family, friends, and congregation members. We used data from the National Survey of American Life, a nationally representative survey of African Americans, Black Caribbeans, and non-Hispanic Whites. We conducted six multivariable logistic regression models to determine how hearing and vision impairment were…
Social Isolation and Comorbid Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Comorbid psychiatric disorders, particularly mood and anxiety disorders, are a growing public health concern in the United States with profound negative health implications. Theoretical models such as the stress process model, along with extant literature, identify social isolation as a multidimensional psychosocial factor linked to psychiatric comorbidity. However, limited understanding remains as to how different dimensions of social isolation …
Social Isolation and Religious Service Attendance Among Black Older Adults
This study examines how religious service attendance is associated with social isolation among Black older adults. Data came from the psychosocial leave-behind questionnaire in the 2016 and 2018 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative panel study which oversamples for Black older adults. Five different types of social isolation were examined in the current study: overall isolation, child isolation, extended fam…
Institutional, neighborhood, and life stressors on loneliness among older adults
Our study finds racial/ethnic variation in psychosocial stressors predicting loneliness four years later. Nevertheless, neighborhood discohesion was the most salient stressor and was associated with greater loneliness across all racial/ethnic groups. Future research and interventions should consider the differing stress appraisal processes across groups and to support the development of resources and policies to ameliorate loneliness among divers…
Challenges to Social Connection Among Black Men with Chronic Conditions
Efforts to improve the self-management of illness symptomology may mitigate challenges to social connection among middle-aged and older Black men
The role of subjective, interpersonal, and structural social isolation in 12-month and lifetime anxiety disorders
Public health approaches should include mental health and primary care providers and need to target social isolation, especially subjective isolation, which may be key in preventing anxiety disorders and the worsening of anxiety disorders. Future public health research is needed on how and in what ways the differing dimensions of social isolation impact mental health
Friendship Social Support Networks of African Americans
Friends are crucial for companionship, sharing personal thoughts and feelings, and are positively associated with psychological well-being and mental health. This is one of the first studies to provide an in-depth investigation of social support networks of African American friendship. Using a nationally representative sample of African American adults drawn from the National Survey of American Life, this study investigated sociodemographic corre…
Loneliness and Psychological Distress Among Older Californians
Loneliness was the most consistent stressor affecting multiple life domains. However, our findings demonstrate that stress proliferation is occurring among older immigrant adults and the interplay between loneliness, citizenship status, and English proficiency is contributing to heightened distress. Further attention is needed in understanding the role of multiple stressors influencing mental health among immigrant older adults
Sociodemographic Factors and Neighborhood/Environmental Conditions Associated with Social Isolation Among Black Older Adults
Objectives: To investigate sociodemographic factors and neighborhood/environmental conditions associated with social isolation (SI) among Black older adults. Methods: We utilized data from the 2014 and 2016 Leave-Behind Questionnaire from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS LBQ) among those who self-identified as Black ( N = 2.323). Outcome variables for our study included SI from adult children, other family members, friends, disengagement from…
Religious Involvement and Sleep Among Older African Americans
Objective: This study sought to determine whether religious involvement is associated with sleep quality in a nationally representative sample of older African Americans. Methods: The analytic sample included African American respondents aged 55+ from the National Survey of American Life-Reinterview ( N = 459). Religious involvement variables included service attendance, reading religious texts, watching religious television programs, listening t…
Discrimination and social isolation among African Americans
These findings shed light on African Americans' nuanced experiences with discrimination and colorism. Further, the data demonstrate heterogeneity in the vulnerability to the adverse effects of discrimination within the African American population; the relationship between discrimination and subjective isolation was stratified by skin tone. This underscores the well-documented and persistent racialized social stratification system in the United St…
Racial/ethnic variation in family support
Study findings are discussed in relation to conceptual and methodological differences in assessing Black-White differences across studies of family support. Attention to these issues and the specific contexts for receiving/providing family support (emergency vs. routine; intergenerational vs. extended) will help clarify inconsistent findings across studies
The Intersection of Pain Outcomes and Social Isolation Among African Americans
Discrimination and Hypertension Among Older African Americans and Caribbean Blacks
The findings indicate that JH, in the face of discrimination, is associated with hypertension of older African Americans but may be an effective coping strategy for older Caribbean Blacks due to cultural and sociodemographic differences between the 2 ethnic groups. Future research should investigate the differing mechanisms by which JH influences health in heterogeneous older Black populations
Older Black Americans During Covid-19
The concept of “double jeopardy”—being both older and Black—describes how racism and ageism together shape higher risks for coronavirus exposure, COVID-19 disease, and poor health outcomes for older Black adults. Black people and older adults are the two groups most affected by COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Double jeopardy, as a race- and age-informed analysis, demonstrates how Black race and older age are associated with practices and polici…
Social isolation from family and friends and mental health among African Americans and Black Caribbeans
Social isolation is a significant social problem in the United States that many health and welfare organizations have begun to acknowledge and address. Unfortunately, extremely little research focuses on social isolation among ethnic minority populations. This study investigated the association between social isolation from family and friends and the mental health of African Americans and Black Caribbeans. Using data from the National Survey of A…
Driving Cessation and Social Isolation in Older Adults
Objective: This study investigated the impact of driving cessation on social isolation in older adults. Method: Data were obtained from Rounds 1 through 6 of the National Health and Aging Trends Study. The study sample consisted of 6,916 Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 or above who were eligible drivers at baseline. Mixed-effects ordered logistic regression and piecewise regression were used to examine the impact of driving cessation on social iso…
Race and Objective Social Isolation
This analysis provides greater clarity on racial and ethnic differences in social isolation among older adults, as well as within-group differences in objective social isolation among African Americans and Black Caribbeans
Social Isolation, Depression, and Psychological Distress Among Older Adults
Assessments of social isolation among older populations should account for both subjective and objective dimensions, as well as both family and friend social networks. Social isolation from friends is an important, but understudied, issue that has significant consequences for older adult mental health
Professional Service Use for a Serious Personal Problem
Most respondents were in the limited provider use class suggesting that for many problems, minimal professional help is utilized. Physicians and clergy were important across all three classes
Patterns of Emotional Social Support and Negative Interactions among African American and Black Caribbean Extended Families
From SSWR to Peer-Reviewed Publication
The purpose of this study was to estimate how many presentations at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) are subsequently published in peer-reviewed journals. A 30% random sample of abstracts presented at the 2006 Annual Meeting of SSWR was reviewed. To determine publication status of the presentations, the authors conducted searches using Google Scholar, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Social Work Abstracts, in addition to…
Information and Communication Technologies in Social Work
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are electronic tools used to convey, manipulate and store information. The exponential growth of Internet access and ICTs greatly influenced social, political, and economic processes in the United States, and worldwide. Regardless of the level of practice, ICTs will continue influencing the careers of social workers and the clients they serve. ICTs have received some attention in the social work l…
