The purpose of this study was to use structural equation modeling to examine how the experience of racialized aggressions on social media influenced the perceptions of campus racial climate for undergraduate students of color ( = 771). Findings suggest that students who experienced racialized aggressions on social media did report less positive perceptions of campus diversity climate. Given that in-person and online environments are growing evermore seamless for students, this has implications for campus climate and diversity programming.

Epidemiological data from as early as the 1930s documented a dramatic racial disparity in prostate cancer incidence, survival, and mortality rates among Black men-a trend that persists to this day. Black men are disproportionately burdened by prostate cancer, developing the disease at younger ages, facing more aggressive and lethal forms, and ultimately experiencing double the mortality rate of men of European descent. Investigating the multifactorial contributors to this racial disparity has been extensive, but results have often been inconsistent or inconclusive, making it difficult to pinpoint clear correlations.

Early life trauma has been shown to facilitate habitual behavior, which may predispose individuals toward perpetuating maladaptive behaviors. However, previous investigations did not account for other traumatic childhood experiences like racial/ethnic discrimination exposure, nor have they examined the interaction of trauma and habits on real-world adverse outcomes. To examine these effects, we recruited 96 young adults (20.

Article Synopsis
  • Pediatric renal cell carcinoma (pRCC) is a rare, aggressive cancer in children with lower survival rates compared to other pediatric cancers, influenced by factors like sex, race, ethnicity, age, and socio-economic status.
  • A retrospective study analyzed 174 pRCC cases from 1973 to 2015 to understand survival rates, identifying significant disparities, such as black/AA children being nearly three times more likely to die from the disease than white children.
  • The study highlights the need for further research into socio-economic and demographic factors affecting pRCC outcomes, as well as exploring insufficiently studied determinants like area of residence.
