“… Method Description Sample size (range) Number of social positions observed Adjustment for confounders possible? Connection to intersectionality Strengths Limitations Regression with interaction terms Linear and other models with identity link; multiplicative and other models with logit or log links ( Barden et al, 2016 ; Berg, 2010 ; Cummings & Jackson, 2008 ; Harnois, 2015 ; Sen et al, 2009 ; Szmer et al, 2015 ; Velez et al, 2018 ; S.-L. L.; Williams et al, 2018 ) This approach involves including an interaction term in a regression model. Both statistical scales (additive and multiplicative) were used by papers in this review.…”

“…No studies were found on economic status associations with positivity ratio, but recent studies showed associations between SES and positive affect, one of the components of positivity ratio. For example, higher SES was related to positive affect in young White males (Barden, Barry, Khalifian, & Bates, 2016), and higher early life SES was related to positive affect among adults in a viral challenge study (Murdock, LeRoy, & Fagundes, 2017). Most of the research focused on PTG and health or SES.…”

The present study assessed the extent to which psychosocial resources of dispositional optimism, sense of mastery, and social support, and personal resources of perceived health and economic status, are associated with positivity ratio (positive affect divided by negative affect) and with growth following stressful life events. We conducted a secondary analysis of the data of 355 participants who experienced a stressful life event 1–24 months before completing questionnaires assessing the study constructs. The results showed that the psychosocial resources (optimism, mastery, and social support), perceived health, and economic status were intercorrelated. The three psychosocial resources, but not perceived health or economic status, were associated with positivity ratio, and social support was associated with growth. Mastery and social support mediated the effects of perceived health on positivity ratio, and mastery mediated the effects of economic status on positivity ratio following stressful life events. The findings suggest that psychosocial resources lead to better adaptation by preserving positive mental states following stressful life events, and perceived health and economic status contribute to these positive mental states through their associations with the psychosocial resources.

“…People from special populations experience more stigma which, in turn, creates greater disruption in social networks and connectedness, impeding the development of successful interpersonal relationships [23]. Conversely, receiving greater support may be specifically helpful for individuals with multiple disadvantages [25]. For instance, research suggests that elderly African American women with greater social interconnectedness lived longer than social-isolated women, controlling for health and socioeconomic status [26].…”

Background: Equitable access to services that promote health and wellbeing is an important component of social justice. A community-engaged participatory qualitative study was conducted in Flint, Michigan, USA, to understand the needs of special populations (young women, perinatal women and new mothers, older women, women with disabilities, and LGBTQIA women) and elicit their ideas about solutions. Methods: In-depth interviews (n = 100) were conducted. Participants were either women living in the Flint area, human service providers in the area, or both. A team of community and academic coders analyzed the data using an a priori framework. Results: Participants identified needs of different groups of women and suggested ways to address them. Access to healthy food, reducing healthcare costs, and improving transportation, job opportunities and affordable quality housing were crosscutting themes across all groups of women. Mentoring support was said to protect vulnerable young women from the risk of human trafficking. Older women were said to gain a sense of purpose, build their social support and reduce their loneliness by engaging in mentoring younger women. Women with disabilities were reported to benefit from infrastructure accessibility and authentic inclusion in all areas of life. Providing help that considers their dignity, pride and self-worth were suggested. LGBTQIA women were reported to have housing needs due to discrimination; mostly turned down as renters and can be rejected from faith-based homeless shelters. LGBTQIA women would also benefit from increased sensitivity among healthcare providers. For all groups of women, streamlining access to social services and other resources, building social support networks and increasing awareness about existing resources were recommended. Conclusion: Efforts directed towards improving women's health and wellbeing should include perspectives and suggestions of diverse groups of women from the community. Acting on suggestions that emanate from the community's lived experiences may reduce inequalities in health and wellbeing.
