“…Black Feminist Theory, as another example, highlights the intersections of racism, sexism, and classism and their influence on maternal and child health (Barlow & Johnson, 2021 ; Simmons, 2021 ). While the Pediatric Self-Management Model presently alludes to the influences of racism, particularly in acknowledging known health disparities, the model could be adapted to explicitly address racism, sexism, and classism and implications at each domain level.…”

Given the long-standing history of systemic racism in psychological science, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts are increasingly vital to the advancement and improvement of the field. This commentary extends the seminal work of the article Upending Racism in Psychological Science: Strategies to Change How Our Science is Conducted, Reported, Reviewed, and Disseminated (Buchanan et al., Am Psychol, 10.31234/osf.io/6nk4x, 2020) by providing tangible applications and recommendations to improve DEI integration into pediatric adherence science. Real-world adherence examples are discussed regarding the challenges faced in systematically integrating DEI principles, potential solutions to overcoming barriers, and the implications of these efforts on scientific advancement in an effort to address and dismantle research practices that perpetuate inequity and White supremacy. Specifically, we provide discourse and practical guidance related to the conduct, reporting, reviewing, and disseminatio n of pediatric adherence science to promote dialog and produce actionable change toward the promotion of health equity and social justice.

“…Engaging communities at the grassroots level is important because the leaders engaged at this level have personal and community knowledge specific to their community (Marquam et al 2020). Grassroots movements that are focused on Black women, and women from all marginalized groups, have been called upon as "the" way to address health inequities (Barlow and Johnson 2021).…”

Maternal mortality in the United States of America is a human rights issue. This study gathered perspectives from Black women community members and from duty bearers in four fields (academic, special interest, government, and media) on barriers to maternal health in Indiana. Semi-structured interviews and an editing (data-based) analytic strategy revealed six themes regarding barriers to maternal health: lack of continuous, quality health care coverage; racism and implicit bias; trauma and lack of mental health services; lack of instrumental and emotional support systems; insufficient knowledge for self-advocacy; and lack of data transparency and reliability. Participants raised several strategies to address barriers, including continuous high-quality health care coverage, implicit bias training, mental health services, doulas, and grassroots-university partnerships. We discuss these barriers and solutions using a human rights-based approach to health (HRBA). These findings present a blueprint for duty bearers in Indiana to increase women’s ability to claim their right to health.

“…In their articulation of an intervention plan to address health issues among Black women, Barlow and Johnson (2020) call for community-based public policies that explicitly acknowledge and assess gendered racism. Further, Barlow and Johnson (2020) emphasize that every policy adjustment must occur with Black women and girls at the forefront; that is, their voices must be elevated to ensure tangible and beneficial change. These voices are exemplified through scholar-practitioners like Dr. Joy Harden Bradford who created a Therapy for Black Girls website and podcast to help destigmatize mental health issues among Black women (Bradford, 2017).…”

Black women’s mental health matters: Theoretical perspectives and future directions

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite recent sociological research exploring how stratification systems impinge on the health of socially disadvantaged populations, Black women's mental health is rarely a topic of investigation among scholars of medical sociology, sociology of race and racism, or sociology of gender. In this review, we incorporate perspectives from sociology, social psychiatry, psychology, and social work to develop a transdisciplinary intersectional model of Black women's mental health. We also present critical interventions in the extant literature. First, though stress exposure is generally associated with poor mental health, more research is necessary to ascertain the gendered-racialized stressors to which Black women are exposed, owing to their racial and gender oppression. Second, we admonish mental health scholars to incorporate other status dimensions (e.g., nativity, sexual orientation, age) to provide a more nuanced depiction of Black women's psychological health. Third, the unique and enduring relationship between the U.S. punishment system and the mental health of Black women should be further explicated in future research. Last, we envision a body of work on Black women's mental health that captures the ways in which they cope with societal level marginalization, as these forms of resilience and resistance may be mental health protective.
