Police exposures and the health and well-being of Black youth in the us: a systematic review.
This systematic review examined the literature describing the impact of policing on the well-being of Black youth 26 years and younger. A total of 16 quantitative studies including 19,493 participants were included in the review. An association between police exposure and adverse mental health, sexual risk behaviors and substance use was found. A total of 13 qualitative studies including 461 participants were also included in the review, which corroborated and contextualized the quantitative evidence and provided additional health outcomes, such as fear for life and hopelessness.

A longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and development of metabolic syndrome: the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study.
The researchers tested whether baseline and time-varying depressive symptoms were associated with metabolic syndrome incidence in black and white men and women from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study. They found that, over 15 years, the incidence rate of metabolic syndrome varied by race and sex, with the highest rate in black women followed by white men, black men, and white women. Depressive symptoms were associated with incident metabolic syndrome in white men and white women. However, they found no significant association between depression and metabolic syndrome among black men or black women.

An electronic asthma self-management intervention for young African American adults.
The objective of this study was to develop and assess the feasibility of an electronic asthma self-management program for young African American adults. The researchers found that all subjects completing the 2-week postprogram survey reported that the program was helpful, and 97% would recommend it to others. Asthma control as measured by the Asthma Control Test improved, and asthma quality of life as measured by the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire also improved. They concluded that the Breathe Michigan program is feasible for recruitment and retention, and demonstrated an improvement in asthma control and quality of life for young African American adults.
