Brief Summary:
Black Americans and those of lower socioeconomic position SEP are at higher risk for multiple diseases of aging and shorter lifespans but the psychophysiological mechanisms that may account for these effects are not clear The overarching objective of this pilot grant is to improve our understanding of the proximal social exposures and subsequent psychobiological processes that contribute to racial and socioeconomic health disparities Precisely understanding what these mutable social and psychological mechanisms are is necessary in order to identify intervention targets at the level of the individual
Detailed Description:
Black Americans and those of lower socioeconomic position SEP are at higher risk for multiple diseases of aging and shorter lifespans Though these disparities are well-documented the mechanisms that may account for them are still poorly understood Low income or Black race do not themselves cause individuals to become sick Instead the social context and exposures associated with these personal attributes give rise to differential risk 1-3 Black race and lower SEP are overlapping in the United States and race and SEP may share common social exposures that contribute to disease risk because both Blacks and individuals of lower SEP are socially marginalized eg devalued pushed to the lower margins of society and thus exposed to more stress associated with lower hierarchical rank 4 However no studies to our knowledge have been designed to examine whether day-to-day social exposures common across race and SEP may contribute to higher overall disease burden in these groups In this project investigators examine whether daily social interaction patterns help to explain how race and SEP may be linked with well-established psychobiological pathways to disease affect behavior and physiology With respect to each of these pathways investigators examine the extent to which within-person changes in social processes may be associated with effects that mirror and thus could explain between-group differences For example interactions in which one experiences a higher degree of disrespect may be associated with momentary changes in affect behavior and physiology that confer disease risk Examination of these within-person processes allows for stronger causal inference and is directly relevant to the development of individual-level interventions eg targeting cognitive behavioral and affective processes These findings can directly inform individual and group interventions for stress reduction in health disparity populations
