How wealthy are you? Join our own #umich #sociologist @robertmanduca as he explores an aspect of personal wealth many of us overlook: the benefits Americans will get from Social Security and other similar government benefit programs (via @ConversationUS) myumi.ch/4mxgq

A study using @NHATS_NSOC and @umpsid shows African American and Latino seniors with ADRD face higher economic burdens, mainly from unpaid caregiving. Better understanding of prevalence and policies could ease these burdens for all US residents myumi.ch/w9w2b

Using @FFCWS, Colter Mitchell & coauthors find that educational effort is consistently protective for depressive symptoms in adolescents, but is linked to accelerated epigenic aging among disadvantaged Hispanic youth myumi.ch/79Jzr #epigenetics #education

Patterns of alcohol use over time among older different-sex couples: Implications for health (just accepted in @JSADjournal) @KiraBirditt @capolenick @umichmedicine @umisr @UM_SRC @umichsph jsad.com/doi/abs/10.152…

Prevalence and Perceived Accessibility of Cannabis Products among Underage Young Adults, 2019-2023 (just accepted in @JSADjournal) @MeganPatrickPhD @UM_SRC @umisr #MonitoringtheFuture jsad.com/doi/abs/10.152…

Using #MonitoringTheFuture, Yvonne Terry-McElrath, Yuk Pang & @MeganPatrickPhD found that while young adults can't legally buy cannabis products, they report easy access. Among non-users, policy & college attendance link to easier perceived access myumi.ch/R3QAW

More research is needed on less studied risks and in non-Western and low- and middle-income countries.

Using nat'l survey data in the US, Ireland & Northern Ireland, Jessica Faul, Colter Mitchell & coauthors found notable consistency when evaluating well studied health behaviors, suggesting epigenetic clocks are useful for monitoring health across contexts myumi.ch/Z28nQ

Inbal Nahum-Shani (@d3center) et al piloted a text-based intervention for parents of teens at high suicide risk seeking emergency department (ED) services. This intervention shows promise as a post-ED continuity of care strategy for high-risk youth myumi.ch/z9NNn

Farah Ammous, Jennifer A. Smith, Wei Zhao et al use molecular tools to provide insights into biological processes underlying cardiovascular disease risk & treatment. They identified several novel IL-6-CpG sites & downstream pathways affected by methylation myumi.ch/2rjjb

🧪 Josh Ehrlich & coauthors examine the trends in income-related inequalities in vision difficulty and identify what factors explain the widening visual health gap between higher and lower income adults myumi.ch/MkpkQ

Angela Turkelson, Kira Birditt & collaborators examine the impact of drinking amount and similarity of drinking patterns on health among older couples myumi.ch/R3Qxy

Adriana Reyes & Sarah Patterson find nuanced views among the Latinx population on who should bear the responsibility of long-term care of older adults, with significant gender differences in these views myumi.ch/NrXWr

Reed DeAngelis, @rigby_david, @mhicken et al examined links btwn residential segregation & epigenetic aging among older Black & White Americans. Segregation only partially explains faster aging in Black residents myumi.ch/E879x

🧪SRC researchers compared a MARCH produced probability sample of Michigan births w/all births, finding close accord w/birth outcomes & mothers' demographics showing a way forward for representative pre- & post-natal studies of births myumi.ch/xww8x

Using data from the @hrsisr, Yuelin He, Jessica Faul, @kateduchowny , Chihua Li, Rebecca Stebbins & @gracenoppert find evidence for the potential population health impact of treating cytomegalovirus, an infection which can cause age-related diseases myumi.ch/Nrrwp

Joanne Hsu, director of Surveys of Consumers, tells @marketplace that consumers are worried about their personal finances, "Two-thirds of consumers expecting unemployment rates to go up" myumi.ch/Mkkj

Negative interactions btwn caregivers & recipients are linked to elevated heart rate among caregivers. Yee To Ng, Anna Kratz, Angela Turkelson & Kira Birditt find socializing with friends can buffer negative cardiovascular effects myumi.ch/D88M6

📈 SRC's Htay-Wah Saw will present the results of a randomized control trial, which was used to evaluate the effect of survey burden on an online probability-based panel. Their findings will be presented at #AAPOR25 myumi.ch/R3mA8

📈 SRC's @rnishimura will moderate 'Methods to Combine or Adjust Data to Improve Survey Estimates' at #AAPOR25 myumi.ch/D8rM9
