🚨 New paper 🚨
In the latter half of the 20th c, states in the US passed massive suites of “tough-on-crime” sentencing policies.
In this paper, we investigated how (& why) these policies shaped pop health, esp racialized patterns of birth outcomes in the US.

Karen is the best medical sociologist out there. Looking forward to keeping up with this!
My new article will be out in the next issue of Journal of Health and Social Behavior. I'll be sure to post it here when it's out. In the meantime, here's a short thread and open-access link to a policy brief (tinyurl.com/yc7zxj98) 🧵 (1/8)
The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991.
Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens.
As of this morning, it’s gone.
When you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.
Congratulations on both the article and this great piece—I’ll be assigning it for a unit on poverty and intergenerational inequality in Intro Soc this upcoming semester
It's Monday, so over at the blog I wrote about two great new papers that take a swing at what you can and can't do with sibling data.
