  • The Interplay of Neighborhood Deprivation, Race, and Multiple Sclerosis. [Journal Article]
    Ethn Dis. 2026 Jan; 36(1):30-36.Bhattarai JJ, Bhattiprolu K, … Cooper LAED
  • CONCLUSIONS: Black participants from the most deprived neighborhoods experienced longer gaps between MS symptom onset and diagnosis, and were more likely to be on a DMT, which is indicative of greater disease severity. Consistent with the health disparities literature, our results suggest structural factors affect Black patients with MS more negatively than White patients.
  • Gendered Denominational Differences in Obesity among African American Christian Young Adults. [Journal Article]
    Ethn Dis. 2025 Oct; 35(4):156-164.Robbins PA, Griffith EE, … Bentley-Edwards KLED
  • CONCLUSIONS: Obesity disparities among Pentecostal and Baptist adherents may signal the need to examine the potential effect of gender norms on differential health messaging and behaviors within these groups. By understanding potential contributors to heterogeneous health outcomes among young adults, health interventions within African American churches can be tailored to best fit their populations.
  • Rurality of Location of Origin among Adult Latinx Immigrants: Association with Oral Health Factors. [Journal Article]
    Ethn Dis. 2025 Aug; 35(3):107-112.Jones D, Brooks CV, Maupomé GED
  • CONCLUSIONS: The rural/urban divide is significantly associated with oral health impacts of Hispanic/Latinx groups. This may be partly due to the often-lower educational opportunities available and the socioeconomic status in rural areas, in comparison with more affluent urban locations; such disparity is likely to provide fewer opportunities to maintain a healthful status (eg, less access to actionable health maneuvers involving toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss for good oral hygiene; or more limited access to dental offices). The degree of rurality in the location of origin appears to be one element in the complex health disparities landscape.
