- Social connectedness is essential for health and longevity, while isolation exacts a heavy toll on individuals and society. We present U.S. social connectedness magnitudes and trends as target phenomena to inform calls for policy-based approaches to promote social health. Using the 2003–2020 American Time Use Survey, this study finds that, nationally, social isolation increased, social engagement…March 2023Social Environment
- A recent survey of large US employers found women of color and LGBTQ+ employees have the highest share of unmet basic needs. Employers may consider expanding the range of benefits offered.

- A growing body of research has identified health disparities among transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) adults in the United States, including substantial disparities in mental health, compared with their cisgender (heterosexual and sexual minority) counterparts. Differences in mental health may be influenced by the high levels of stress associated with being members of a marginalized…November 2021Mental/Behavioral Health
- Population-based health studies demonstrate that sexual minorities (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual persons) have less access to health care services than their heterosexual counterparts. For example, sexual minorities are more likely than heterosexuals to delay or forgo necessary medical care and to not have a regular health care provider. Research suggests that these disparities can be attributed…November 2021Social Environment
- Through the lens of administrative burden and ordeals, we investigate challenges that low-income families face in accessing health and human services critical for their children's healthy development. We employ a mixed methods approach—drawing on administrative data on economically disadvantaged children in Tennessee, publicly available data on resource allocations and expenditures, and data…September 2021Policy and Practice, Services & Programs
- Individuals from sexual minority groups have elevated rates of depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, and suicidality relative to their heterosexual counterparts. These differences result from stress due to belonging to a sexual minority group: experiences of sexuality-based stigma that result in increased stress and adverse behavioral and mental health (BMH) outcomes. Research has…August 2021Mental/Behavioral Health
- This year will likely be remembered for important and positive moments for the United States, including passage of the Equality Act in the U.S. House of Representatives and the widespread distribution of COVID-19 vaccines that have provided nearly half of the population with full immunity. However, it also comes with a sobering statistic: 2021 is on track to become the deadliest year in history…July 2021Isms and Phobias
- This study aims to examine how gender variation in trans identities shape exposure to bias and discrimination. The authors then examine how trans identities intersect with race/ethnicity, education and social class to shape exposure risk to bias, discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

- Poverty has consistently been linked to poor mental health and risky health behaviors, yet few studies evaluate the effectiveness of programs and policies to address these outcomes by targeting poverty itself. We test the hypothesis that the earned income tax credit (EITC)—the largest U.S. poverty alleviation program—improves short-term mental health and health behaviors in the months immediately…October 2020Mental/Behavioral Health
- The relationship between housing and health is more than just the four walls that shelter an individual or family each night. More broadly, the link between health and housing is a result of influences from both the individual home unit and a variety of structural and societal factors within a neighborhood. These elements have the potential to provide safety, recreation, access to transportation…May 2020Housing Discrimination, Social/Structural Determinants, Environment/Context, Systemic Determinants, Healthy Housing, Racism
