Structural Racism and Inequality in Canadian Population Health and Wellbeing
The association between parental monitoring and adolescent cognitive flexibility across neighborhood contexts
115). The strongest association between parental monitoring and adolescent CF was in neighborhoods characterized by higher perceived cohesion. These findings suggest that benevolent neighborhood contexts may amplify the beneficial effects of parental monitoring on adolescent CF. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved)
The development, evolution, and maintenance of structural racism for the study of health inequities
Evaluating the relationship between structural racism and health inequity is conceptually and empirically complex. This critical review of policies and events extends a previously published framework for understanding structural racism in health research across ethnoracial groups from 1400 to present. We apply this framework for Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and White groups and reflect on, c…
Colorism and Health Inequities among Black Americans
The mechanisms generating skin-tone-based health inequities among ethnic Black Americans remain poorly understood. To address this gap, our study advances a novel biopsychosocial model of embodied colorism-related distress. We test this model with survey and biomarker data from a community sample of working-age Black adults from Nashville, Tennessee (2011-2014; N = 627). Relying on self-rated, interviewer-rated, and discordant skin tone measures,…
What are we modeling? An evaluation of depressive symptom trajectory models from adolescence to early midlife in the Add Health cohort
It is critical to understand the development of depressive symptoms across life stages. Existing research has primarily explored this from a life course perspective, yielding inconsistent depressive trajectories, and raising questions as to whether life course processes best characterize the evolution of depressive symptoms across life stages. This study compares ten longitudinal models from four theoretical perspectives ( life course , enduring …
Goal-Striving Stress and Bodily Pain among Working-Age Black and White Americans
This study tests novel research questions regarding Black-White disparities in bodily pain and goal-striving stress (GSS). A largely overlooked chronic stressor, GSS measures the psychosocial strains of blocked opportunity and dashed aspirations. We address our research questions among a socioeconomically diverse sample of Black and White working-age adults from Nashville, Tennessee (2011-2014; n = 1,252). We find that White adults with low socio…
Patterns and Life Course Determinants of Black–White Disparities in Biological Age Acceleration
Despite the prominence of the weathering hypothesis as a mechanism underlying racialized inequities in morbidity and mortality, the life course social and economic determinants of Black–White disparities in biological aging remain inadequately understood. This study uses data from the Health and Retirement Study (n = 6,782), multivariable regression, and Kitagawa–Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition to assess Black–White disparities across three measures…
Contextualizing Educational Disparities in Health
Educational disparities in health are well documented, yet the education–health relationship is inconsistent across racial/ethnic and nativity groups. These inconsistencies may arise from characteristics of the early life environments in which individuals attain their education. We evaluate this possibility by investigating (1) whether educational disparities in cardiometabolic risk vary by race/ethnicity and nativity among Black, Hispanic, and W…
Those Left Behind
While the socioeconomic status (SES)–psychological distress gradient is well-documented in the social science literature, less attention has been devoted to how this relationship varies within sociodemographic subgroups. I contribute to this small but growing literature by first examining the relationship between multiple dimensions of SES and two measures of psychological distress (depression and anxiety) among working-age African Americans. I t…
Looking Back to Leap Forward
Racism is now widely recognized as a fundamental cause of health inequalities in the United States. As such, health scholars have rightly turned their attention toward examining the role of structural racism in fostering morbidity and mortality. However, to date, much of the empirical structural racism-health disparities literature limits the operationalization of structural racism to a single domain or orients the construct around a White/Black …
HIV-Risk Behaviors and Social Support Among Men and Women Attending Alcohol-Serving Venues in South Africa
Impact of Sexual Trauma on HIV Care Engagement
‘I learned to accept every part of myself’
Theatre-based interventions have been used in health promotion activities among young people to address HIV and sexual health. In this study, we explored the experience of undergraduate student performers participating in a theatre-based HIV prevention and sexual health education intervention for high school students in the USA. Undergraduate students enrolled in a credit-bearing course to learn about HIV and sexual health, participatory theatre …
Alcohol Use During Pregnancy in a South African Community
We're Not Going to Have This Conversation, But You Get It ”
Twenty self-identified Black women ages 19 to 22 recalled the content and emotional tone of conversations about sex they had with their mothers. A majority of participants did not recall a sustained conversation about sex. Rather, they recollected fragmented, random, and often context-free comments their mothers made about sex. Three themes emerged from analysis of interviews: (a) negative messages, (b) feelings of discomfort, and (c) mother as r…
