New paper in Nature Mental Health where we show that macroeconomic income inequality is associated with brain structure and function over and above individual-level SES and other state-level factors. These alterations may serve as pathways to mental health problems.

Macroeconomic income inequality, brain structure and function, and mental health - Nature Mental Health
Rakesh et al. used data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development cohort study to evaluate the relationship between state-level income inequality, brain structure and function, and mental health in young people.

Check out our new paper in JAMA Health Forum, led by Dr. Mudia Uzzi, investigating how neighborhood-level structural racism (across both historical redlining and contemporary racialized economic segregation) is associated with opioid-involved overdose deaths in Chicago.
jamahealthforum.com JAMA Health Forum @jamahealthforum.com · 19d
Neighborhoods with high levels of both historical and contemporary structural racism, such as redlining and modern segregation, experienced higher rates of opioid overdose deaths, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. ja.ma/4otrgG3
Side-by-side maps of Chicago census tracts show neighborhood trajectories of racism. Map A (2017-2019) and Map B (2020-2022) use color-coding: yellow (sustained advantaged), green (contemporary advantaged), blue, purple, and gray

Excited to share our new preprint! We conducted a spatial meta-analysis of community violence and mental health, synthesizing 155 articles (k = 769) to test how exposure to community violence is associated with mental health problems, and how state social service investments moderate the link. 💵

Thrilled to share our latest work on the importance of considering social identities in brain imaging research, now out in @natureneuro.bsky.social.

rdcu.be/d4XWM
Visual highlighting how sociodemographic identities influence brain, behavior, and brain-behavior relationships. Figure caption: key goal of research in the brain sciences is to capture relationships between the brain and behavior. When studying these brain–behavior relationships, it is crucial to recognize that sociodemographic factors, such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, education, religion, spirituality, health, language, environment, age and socioeconomic status (among others), can independently and interdependently influence these reciprocal associations.
