Early Origins of Body Mass in Later Life: Examining Childhood Risks and Adult Pathways Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2021-04-15 Sarah A. Mustillo, Miao Li, Patricia Morton, Kenneth F. Ferraro
Prior research reveals that negative early-life experiences play a major role in the development of obesity in later life, but few studies identify mechanisms that alter the lifetime risk of obesity. This study examines the influence of negative childhood experiences on body mass index (BMI) and obesity (BMI ≥30) during older adulthood and the psychosocial and behavioral pathways involved. Using a

“We’re a Little Biased”: Medicine and the Management of Bias through the Case of Contraception Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2021-04-12 Jamie L. Manzer, Ann V. Bell
There is a wealth of literature demonstrating the presence of bias throughout the American health care system. Despite acknowledging such presence, however, little is known about how bias functions within medical encounters, particularly how providers grapple with bias in their patient counseling and decision-making. We explore such processes through the case of contraceptive counseling, a highly raced

“Following Your Gut” or “Questioning the Scientific Evidence”: Understanding Vaccine Skepticism among More-Educated Dutch Parents Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2021-02-03 Josje Ten Kate, Willem De Koster, Jeroen Van der Waal
This study aims to understand vaccine skepticism among a population where it is remarkably prevalent—more-educated Dutch parents—through 31 in-depth interviews. Whereas all respondents ascribe a central role to the individual in obtaining knowledge (i.e., individualist epistemology), this is expressed in two repertoires. A neoromantic one focuses on deriving truth through intuition and following a

Intersections of Adolescent Well-Being: School, Work, and Weight Status in Brazil Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2021-01-28 Letícia J. Marteleto, Molly Dondero, Jennifer Van Hook, Luiz C. D. Gama, Rachel Donnelly
Socioeconomic and health disadvantages can emerge early in the life course, making adolescence a key period to examine the association between socioeconomic status and health. Past research on obesity in adolescence has focused on family measures of socioeconomic status, overlooking the role of individual-level nascent indicators of socioeconomic disadvantage. Using measured height and weight from

Changes in Mental Health and Treatment, 1997–2017 Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2021-01-22 Amy L. Johnson
Mental health outcomes have shown dramatic changes over the past half-century, yet these trends are still underexplored. I utilize an age-period-cohort analysis of the National Health Interview Survey from 1997 to 2017 (N = 627,058) to disentangle trends in mental health outcomes in the United States over time. Specifically, I leverage the contrast between reported psychological distress and rates

Mothers’ Out-of-Sequence Postsecondary Education and Their Health and Health Behaviors Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2021-01-13 Jennifer March Augustine
Ample research suggests that the links between higher education and heath are robust and growing in strength. This research, however, tends to assume education was completed prior to assuming other adult roles. Importantly, the life course framework raises the question of whether “out-of-sequence” college completion conveys similar health returns. I investigate this question among a population for

Social Estrangement and Psychological Distress before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Patterns of Change in Canadian Workers Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2020-11-19 Alex Bierman, Scott Schieman
This article argues that the COVID-19 pandemic and associated social distancing measures intended to slow the rate of transmission of the virus resulted in greater subjective isolation and community distrust, in turn adversely impacting psychological distress. To support this argument, we examine data from the Canadian Quality of Work and Economic Life Study, two national surveys of Canadian workers—one

Understanding the Barriers of Violence Victims’ Health Care Use Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2020-10-13 Keith L. Hullenaar, Michelle Frisco
Violence is a leading cause of death among U.S. adults under age 45. There are also 3.3 million living violence victims, most of whom forgo formal health care when injured. We developed and tested a framework to understand why. We argue that violence victims must consider their need for care and three situational factors of victimization that may serve as barriers for care seeking: the victim’s relationship

Researchers and practitioners often extol the health benefits of social relationships and social participation for older adults. Yet they often ignore how these same bonds and activities may contribute to negative health behaviors. Using data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (16,065 observations from 7,007 respondents), we examined how family characteristics, family history, and social participation

Peer connections in adolescence shape mental health in ways that differ by gender. However, it is unclear whether this association has an enduring impact on life course mental health. Using growth models with survey data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health Waves I–IV, N = 13,821, 51% white, 49% male), we examine how two dimensions of social integration during

The Engaged Patient: The Relevance of Patient-Physician Communication for Twenty-First-Century Health. Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2020-07-29 Stefan Timmermans
The patient–doctor interaction has changed profoundly in the past decades. In reaction to paternalistic communication patterns, health policy makers have advocated for patient-centered care and shared decision-making. Although these models of medical communication remain still aspirational, patients have become more engaged in advocating for their own health in encounters with physicians. I argue that

Control and the Health Effects of Work-Family Conflict: A Longitudinal Test of Generalized Versus Specific Stress Buffering. Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 2.418) Pub Date : 2020-07-29 Philip Badawy,Scott Schieman
The stress associated with work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) is well documented. However, surprisingly little is known about the resources that moderate the effects of work–family conflict on health over time. Using four waves of panel data from the Canadian Work, Stress, and Health Study (2011–2017; n = 11,349 person-wave observations), we compare how a core psychosocial

A growing body of research suggests that maternal exposure to discrimination helps to explain racial disparities in children’s health. However, no study has considered if the intergenerational health effects of unfair treatment operate in the opposite direction—from child to mother. To this end, we use data from mother–child pairs in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 to determine whether

Parents’ relationships with their adult children play an important role in shaping mid and later life health. While these relationships are often sources of support, stressors in the lives of children can compromise parents’ health as they age. I consider that a child’s incarceration is also a stressor that could imperil parents’ health through social, emotional, and economic strains that parents may
