Assessing Trends in Internalizing Symptoms among Racialized and Minoritized Adolescents: Results from the Monitoring the Future Survey 2005-2020
Am J Epidemiol. 2024 Mar 21:kwae024. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwae024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDepressive symptoms have rapidly accelerated among recent US adolescent birth cohorts, yet there remains little understanding of trends among racialized and minoritized groups. These groups may experience depressive symptoms due to the deleterious effects of structural racism. Using 2005-2020 Monitoring the Future survey data, we examine all racialized groups using within-group analyses to observe trends in high depressive symptoms across cohorts. Generally, across racialized groups and ages, the odds of high depressive symptoms in...

Targeted Learning with an Undersmoothed Lasso Propensity Score Model for Large-Scale Covariate Adjustment in Healthcare Database Studies
Am J Epidemiol. 2024 Mar 21:kwae023. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwae023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLasso regression is widely used for large-scale propensity score (PS) estimation in healthcare database studies. In these settings, previous work has shown that undersmoothing (overfitting) Lasso PS models can improve confounding control, but it can also cause problems of non-overlap in covariate distributions. It remains unclear how to select the degree of undersmoothing when fitting large-scale Lasso PS models to improve confounding control while avoiding issues that can result from reduced covariate overlap. Here, we used simula...

Neighborhood eviction trajectories and odds of moderate and serious psychological distress during pregnancy among African American women
Am J Epidemiol. 2024 Mar 22:kwae025. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwae025. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfrican American mothers are unjustly burdened both by residential evictions and psychological distress. We quantified associations between trajectories of neighborhood evictions over time, and odds of moderate and serious psychological distress (MPD and SPD, respectively) during pregnancy among African American women. We linked publicly available neighborhood eviction filing and judgement rate data to preconception and during pregnancy addresses from the Life-course Influences on Fetal Environments Study (2009-2011, n=808). Multin...
