Multicultural scholarship continues to reflect unexamined assumptions regarding the exclusive use of natural science methodologies, reliance on dominant Western scientific paradigms, and entrenchment in institutionalized research priorities that privilege efficiency and investigators' career promotion rather than the needs of diverse communities. Current practices in psychological research with ethnic minority groups also may contribute to the potential for epistemological violence, which occurs when scientific investigations are used as a pretext to justify interpretations of data in research with "ethnic minorities" in ways that perpetuate oppression or are lacking in their focus on social action.

Health Inequalities Between Afro-descendants and Non-Afro-descendants in Peru: Evidence from the Demographic and Family Health Survey.
J Racial Ethn Health Disparities
January 2025
Epidemiology and Health Economics Research (EHER), Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima, Peru.
Background: The Afro-Peruvian population is one of the ethnic minorities most affected by cultural, socioeconomic, and health barriers; however, there is little evidence on health inequalities in this ethnic group. Therefore, We aimed to determine health inequalities among the Peruvian Afro-descendant population in comparison with non-Afro-descendants.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the Demographic and Family Health Survey 2022.
Background: Early detection of cognitive impairment is crucial for maximizing the benefits of disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Brief, automatically-scored digital cognitive assessments such as the Digital Clock and Recall (DCR) show promise in streamlining this early detection. However, wide adoption of such assessments in diverse populations requires evaluation of their demographic biases.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the impact of disclosing the APOE ε4/ε4 genotype on Alzheimer's disease risk among Latino participants in the IDEAL study, which addresses a gap in previous research that often excluded ethnic minorities.
- Participants attended genetic counseling sessions, where they learned about their genetic risk and prevention strategies, revealing a 55% risk by age 85 for ε4 homozygotes.
- Overall, the participants showed limited emotional reactions, with many expressing surprise but valuing the information as it helped them understand their Alzheimer's risk and ways to manage it.

Background: Few studies have investigated the relationship between subjective cognitive concerns and objective cognitive decline in the oldest-old or examined gender differences. We evaluated this association and stratification by gender in a diverse cohort of adults ages 90+.
Methods: LifeAfter90 is an ongoing cohort of adults ages 90+.
Incredibly emotional: interpreting trustworthiness in Danish courtrooms.
Front Sociol
December 2024
Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
This paper explores how Danish legal professionals assess the trustworthiness of victims in criminal cases based on emotional expressions. It focuses on the alignment of these expressions with the nature of the crime, the social context, and the victims' social identities, and is based on findings from several ethnographic projects involving extensive observations of crime cases and interviews with criminal justice professionals. The research analyzes how victims' emotional expressions are scrutinized and interpreted within the context of Danish cultural norms, which favor "calm and quiet" behavior.
