- Civic engagement is positively associated with important health and developmental benefits for participating adolescents and young adults. As illustrated by youth political participation, social activism, and rallies for racial justice during the COVID-19 pandemic, youth civic engagement is often inspired by and responsive to problems that are salient to a young person’s lived experiences.…April 2023Maternal/Child Health, Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- Importance: The prevalence of obesity among youths 2 to 19 years of age in the US from 2017 to 2018 was 19.3%; previous studies suggested that school lunch consumption was associated with increased obesity. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) strengthened nutritional standards of school-based meals.

- Adequate access to resources such as child care, nutritious foods, and housing can help people of reproductive age and their families lead healthy lives.

Using published statistics on pregnancy-related…December 2021Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Abortion Access

- The strong relationship between housing and health has been well-established, a reality that can be critically important for those who are pregnant. Affordable, quality housing—and where it is located—directly affect families’ physical and emotional well-being. Since October 2019, cross-sector “core teams” in nine states and Washington, D.C., have been working to address drivers of maternal and…June 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Maternal/Child Health, Social/Structural Determinants
- Maternal health outcomes in the United States have reached crisis levels compared with the rest of the world, and they’re getting worse. Preterm birth rates have increased in the U.S. for the past 5 years, and the number of birthing people who experience Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) has also continued to grow. These poor outcomes, however, impact some more than others. Black birthing people…June 2021Maternal/Child Health, Medicaid
- The reproductive justice framework holds much promise for guiding research that can contribute to social change. Its limited integration and use in social psychology therefore represents a missed opportunity for justice-oriented social researchers. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the reproductive justice framework and demonstrate its value for social psychologists…May 2021Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Abortion Access
