Umbrellas don’t make it rain. Here's a summary of my 10-year research: Highly educated Black families face discrimination and racism, leading to far worse health than equally educated Whites. #HealthInequity #StructuralRacism https://t.co/xvB93jtmww

@VinaSean @ASADrugSoc You are on the right track. The same finding is shown for cigarette, e-cigarette, Hookah, alcohol, marijuana, exercise, sleep, diet, health care use, etc. So, your findings make a lot of sense. Again, thank you for your very important work.

@VinaSean @ASADrugSoc Great work

Using @UMich @umisr HRS data, we found that the health effects of #incarceration of young #Black men can be detected decades later when they are retiring: https://t.co/1GuTWvufta

[Shervin Assari, MD MPH @assarish]

Using @FFCWS data, we showed that incarceration of #Black men worsens mental health of Black boys 22 years later via increasing their risk of incarceration. Then we discuss how this is caused by structural and institutional #racism. Here is the paper: https://t.co/v4HrZt3HSg

1/9 I wasn't gonna do this, but my name is involved. And I need y'all to put some respect on my name. This weekend @politico published our roundtable discussion about marriage. I don't like how people are framing the discussion.
