Check out our recent work published on JRA! 🎉We found that a high-quality parent-adolescent relationship sets a good "channel" for parenting effort to transit through, while a low-quality relationship does not or functions oppositely. Full article ➡️ https://t.co/7Mx6BGmtWS

In this paper, we found that:

- Teacher unfairness during adolescence predicted higher levels of depression.

- Educational attainment partially mediated the link between teacher unfairness and adult health outcomes.

Excited to share that our paper is officially published in SSM-Population Health! ✨

This project holds a special place in my heart—it’s the first study I led using Add Health data (with many more to come!).

Also, families residing in neighborhoods with high Hispanic/immigrant concentration or low affluence were linked to being in families with high (vs. low) HCC levels; however, neighborhood disadvantage was not linked to family-level HCC profile membership.

[Shanting Chen, PhD @Shanting6]

New publication!

We used latent profile analyses and found families with high vs. low levels of hair cortisol.

Not surprising, in both groups, fathers have higher hair cortisol than mothers and child.
