Authors:Andrea M. Tilstra, Nicole Kapelle; Nicole Kapelle Abstract: Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Ahead of Print. Marital dissolution is a stressful transition that can lead to unhealthy coping strategies, including smoking and drinking. Using fixed effect linear probability models to assess health behavior changes, we analyzed 6,607 women and 6,689 men in the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia data set who were either continuously married or experienced marital separation between 2002 and 2020. We observed 1,376 separations (744 women, 632 men). We found that drinking and smoking increases leading to and in the year of separation, with variability by gender, education, and parenthood status. From Cox proportional hazards models, we showed that among individuals who smoked (N = 337) or drank (N = 756) in the year of separation, cessation was most likely for the highly educated and/or women. Unhealthy coping mechanisms throughout marital dissolution suggests a need for targeted support to those separating, especially for men and those with children and lower education.

Authors:Thoa V. Khuu, Jennifer Van Hook, Kendal L. Lowrey; Jennifer Van Hook, Kendal L. Lowrey Abstract: Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Ahead of Print. In recent decades, naturalization rates among U.S. immigrants have surged as many seek citizenship to regain lost rights and protections. However, the impact of naturalization on immigrants’ life outcomes, such as health, remains underexplored in academic research. Challenges arising from selection processes complicate the interpretation of any observed health disparities between naturalized citizens and noncitizens. To address this gap, we link restricted-use data from the 2000 U.S. census to individual Social Security records on citizenship change and death, enabling a 20-year observation of naturalization and mortality. Results from discrete-time hazard analysis of mortality risk reveals a significant protective health effect from naturalization, which increases in magnitude among long-term naturalized citizens. The effect is particularly strong across older ages and among groups with lower education, refugee entry status, Hispanic origin, and health limitations. These findings suggest that naturalization represents an important but stratifying source of institutional support for socially vulnerable immigrants.

Authors:Matthew A. Andersson, Anastasia N. McSwain; Anastasia N. McSwain Abstract: Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Ahead of Print. Although structural sexism in state-level institutions is harmful to women’s and men’s health, less is known about how micro-level structural sexism relates to well-being. Using the 2017 and 2021 Gallup Values and Beliefs of the American Public surveys (N = 1,501 in 2017; N = 1,248 in 2021), we investigate diverse approaches to internalized sexism. Although we find no significant associations with self-rated health, gender traditionalism is linked to greater depressive and anxiety symptoms for women and men, providing the first population evidence for its universal harm in the United States. Although benevolent sexism shows no associations with mental well-being, hostile sexism is linked to greater symptoms among men. A diminished sense of mastery consistently accounts for these relationships, showing promise as a potential mechanism. These findings are suppressed by political conservatism and religious involvement, both of which lead to reporting greater—rather than diminished—well-being.

Authors:Kate Hawks Abstract: Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Ahead of Print. During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the success of public health authorities’ strategies to curb the spread of the virus hinged on individuals’ voluntary compliance with their directives. This study considers how two components of the cultural authority of public health influenced compliance with health guidelines during the pandemic: (1) individuals’ views of public health officials as legitimate and (2) the shared value of health. I also examine the influence of other basic values, alongside health, on pandemic behavior. Data come from an original survey of 1,356 U.S. adults collected online in spring 2022. Findings reveal the pivotal role of perceived legitimacy of public health authorities in motivating compliance, even when considering perceived threat of the virus, political orientation, and other contextual factors. Results provide insight into why people complied with health guidelines by indicating how variation in individuals’ value priorities influenced behavior.

Authors:Andréa Becker, Celina Doria, Leah R. Koenig, Jennifer Ko, Ushma Upadhyay; Celina Doria, Leah R. Koenig, Jennifer Ko, Ushma Upadhyay Abstract: Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Ahead of Print. For decades, sociological research has examined the role of stigma in contributing to health disparities, yet such research seldom grapples with the interplay between individuals and structures. There is a particular paucity of research on abortion that concurrently examines individual experiences with stigma and structural barriers. In this article, we use telehealth abortion as a case, which now accounts for one in five abortions in the United States. We conducted 30 interviews and approach the data using a structural stigma framework in tandem with conceptualizations of felt, internalized, and enacted stigma. Findings advance a sociological theory of structural abortion stigma: a combination of structural barriers, internalized beliefs, and interpersonal shame. Telehealth reduces structural barriers to abortion and mitigates internal and interpersonal experiences of stigma. The latter is achieved by the ability to avoid the traditional abortion clinic, which many interviewees view as the site where stigma is produced and experienced.
