Historically, food insecurity prevalence was higher in the U.S. Southern region than in other regions, particularly among children, but it is not known if the COVID-19 pandemic affected this situation. Our objectives were to (1) assess regional inequities in child food insufficiency during the second year of the pandemic between Deep South states (Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Sout...... hiện toàn bộ

Higher socioeconomic status (SES) has less impact on cardio-metabolic disease and preterm birth risk among Black women compared to White women, an effect called “diminishing returns.” No studies have tested whether this also occurs for pregnancy cardio-metabolic disease, specifically preeclampsia, or whether preeclampsia risk could account for race-by-SES disparities in birth timing. A sample of 7...... hiện toàn bộ

Blacks in the USA have a high prevalence of obesity and therefore suffer disproportionately from obesity-related chronic health conditions. Eating a poor diet is a major contributor to obesity and obesity-related chronic health conditions (e.g., heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes) in Blacks. Having medical concerns has been identified in earlier research to be a motivator to eat a health...... hiện toàn bộ

Quratulain Syed, Pranusha Dubbaka, Ike Okosun
While driving is an important instrumental activity of daily living (ADL), older adults belonging to low-income racial minorities make up a large proportion of never-drivers who utilize alternative modes of transportation (Babulal et al., Geriatrics 3, 2018; Choi and Mezuk, J Appl Gerontol 32:902–912, 2013). Our study is a comparative analysis of comorbid health conditions among older drivers and ...... hiện toàn bộ

Social workers assess and intervene to prevent harm among clients at risk of harm to self (HTS) and harm to others (HTO) with a firearm. This study sought to assess the impact of client race on social workers’ approaches to reduce firearm access when they weighed voluntary (e.g., store out-of-home) and involuntary (e.g., extreme risk protection order) removal methods. We considered the role of soc...... hiện toàn bộ
