Event Description

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics Dissertation Defense: Amie Devlin, MPH, MA Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics

"The Stress Pathway: A Proposed Link Between Neighborhood Disorder and Cardiovascular Disease" Research suggests that neighborhood disorder may contribute to racial inequities in cardiovascular health, with some hypothesizing that this relationship is mediated through the psychological and physiological stress response. Using data from the Jackson Heart Study (JHS), this study investigated the stress pathway as a mediator between neighborhood disorder and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Black adults. Specifically, this study examined: 1) self-reported neighborhood stress as a mediator between neighborhood disorder and CVD, 2) the relationship between self-reported neighborhood stress and the physiological stress response, 3) physiological stress as a mediator between neighborhood disorder and CVD.
