"The social tissue of the working classes is very frayed,” said Mr. Cohen. “There’s an economic and anthropological insecurity.”

Most of us grew up in households with this inequality and didn’t even notice it. But even when we notice it, how many of us are doing anything about it? https://t.co/th6glTsos8

@suzp @cbpolis And the NYT piece on the phenomenon of high MM to poor black women, citing Geronimus' work: https://t.co/okuqDAOzto

[Christopher Hook @chook471]

@suzp @cbpolis Love the critique. There's also something about the historical, traumatic experience of everyday racism and the accumulation of stress in the brain, literally changing the way your genes are expressed and leading to adverse MM outcomes. Maybe "historical and systematic racism" ?

[Christopher Hook @chook471]

@suzp @cbpolis /2 The study concluded: "The weathering effects of living in a race-conscious society may be greatest among those Blacks most likely to engage in high-effort coping."

[Christopher Hook @chook471]

@suzp @cbpolis /1 There was also her 2006 piece, drawing on NHANES data, looking at allostatic load (defined as a quantifiable "cumulative wear and tear on the body’s systems owing to repeated adaptation to stressors")...

[Christopher Hook @chook471]

@suzp @cbpolis Sure! I'm thinking of Arline Geronimus' work, proposing way back in 1992 the "weathering hypothesis": "the health of African-American women may begin to deteriorate in early adulthood as a physical consequence of cumulative socioeconomic disadvantage." https://t.co/dMDVAXBYM1

While not a research ethics overhaul... would end burdensome multi-site IRB approval process for certain research. http://t.co/Fbaqt5OWtH
