Brief Summary:
The unjust social economic and environmental conditions that African Americans face throughout their lives lead to pervasive health disparities These disparities are driven by healthcare differences They are driven by economic differences Those with less financial wealth have poorer health as compared to those with higher socioeconomic status And yet even when controlling for these two important social determinants of health race still predicts morbidity and mortality
What can account for this Stress African Americans experience more stress than their White peers The story is even more dire for African American women who simultaneously face both racial discrimination and sexism Indeed gendered racial discrimination is nearly ubiquitous for Black women at all socioeconomic levels It is also a distinct form of stress with unique outcomes compared to other non-race-or-gender-related stressors Finally stress has clear downstream negative effects on health
At present there is no mobile cognitive-behavioral stress management intervention m-CBSMi designed to help African American women manage racial and nonracial daily stress The investigators intend to fill this void Using proven CBSMi techniques participants will learn how to manage their stress through text messages and integrated mobile web content Supportive texts will inspire motivate and affirm the life experiences of participants Educational texts will increase knowledge develop skills and reduce barriers to adaptive coping A library of individually tailored videos will be delivered to each participant All mobile web content will be accessible only through touch-based links embedded within text messages making it easy and effortless to view this material
During Phase II the investigators will complete development of the m-CBSMi Then the investigators will examine the effectiveness of the m-CBSMi to reduce stress among African American female participants Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention condition or to a matched control condition Secondary measures will assess coping well-being subjective health gendered racial identity and knowledge
