Article Abstract
Disparities in the treatment of Black and White Americans in police stops are pernicious and widespread. We examined racial disparities in police traffic stops by leveraging data on hundreds of U.S. counties from the Stanford Open Policing Project and corresponding county-level data on implicit and explicit racial attitudes from the Project Implicit research website. We found that Black-White traffic-stop disparities are associated with county-level implicit and explicit racial attitudes and that this association is attributable to racial demographics: Counties with a higher proportion of White residents had larger racial disparities in police traffic stops. We also examined racial disparities in several poststop outcomes (e.g., arrest rates) and found that they were not systematically related to racial attitudes, despite evidence of disparities. These findings indicate that racial disparities in counties' traffic stops are reliably linked to counties' racial attitudes and demographic compositions.

Financial Strain, Mental Health, and Sleep Disruption Among Racially and Ethnically Diverse Family Caregivers During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults and their caregivers reported reduced autonomy and disruptions in medical care and community-based services such as adult day centers, and these disruptions likely had the greatest impact on caregivers from health disparity populations. We utilize data on adult child caregivers to the oldest-old from two complementary datasets, the Hispanic Establish Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly Caregiver Supplement (HEPESE CG, 2021) and the National Health and Aging Trends COVID-19 Family Members and Friends Dataset (NHATS FF, 2020-2021). We identify the relationship between financial strain and both mental well-being and sleep health for non-Hispanic White (NH White, n = 198), non-Hispanic Black (NH Black, n = 44), and Mexican American (n = 66) caregivers.

University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, USA.
Context: Social determinants of health (SDoH) and race are both well-established factors that influence diabetes outcomes. However, less is understood about how social vulnerability (SV) and race intersect to impact diabetes control.
Objective: To examine the additive impact of SV and race on diabetes control.

Department of Medicine, Section of Epidemiology and Population Sciences, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: The few studies that have examined the impact of PM on reduced birthweight across different percentiles of the conditional birthweight distribution have produced equivocal findings, and only two assessed whether these associations varied by race/ethnicity or by racial/ethnic composition of the neighbourhood where mothers lived.
Objective: We evaluated racial/ethnic differences in the association between prenatal PM exposure and birthweight across the birthweight distribution in a retrospective cohort study comprising 102,986 full-term singleton births in Harris County, Texas (2019-2020).
Methods: Census tract-level daily PM concentrations were estimated using 'XGBoost-IDW Synthesis', and averaged exposures over pregnancy.
Cardiovascular Death and Access to Health Care Among Individuals Incarcerated in US State Prisons From 2001 to 2019.

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA.
Background: Incarcerated individuals have a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular risk factors. However, there is a paucity of data focusing on cardiovascular death and access to adequate health care among incarcerated individuals.
Methods: We used the Mortality in Correctional Institutions database from the US Bureau of Justice Statistics to examine cardiovascular deaths in all state prisons from 2001 to 2019, health care provision, as well as differences in these measures between racial and ethnic groups.
A Cross-Sectional Study of Delayed Diagnosis Associated with Gender and Racial Identity in Multiple Sclerosis.
J Racial Ethn Health Disparities

Departments of Neurology and Ophthalmology, University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Background: Prior studies suggest a poorer prognosis in men and Black people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). The possibility that delays in evaluation or diagnosis could contribute to worse outcomes remains underexplored. Our objective is to see if men or Black pwMS have delays in being evaluated for and diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).
