Aug 10th 2023, 17:17

Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. In this research note, we investigate the degree to which local governments reduced or expanded the budgets of police departments in the aftermath of the nation-wide protests organized by the Black Lives Matter movement during the summer of 2020. We also consider the political and social factors that might explain local councils’ decisions on the budget. In analyzing an original dataset of about 100 of the most populous U.S. cities, we do not find strong evidence of government efforts to “defund” the police. However, across various specifications of potential responsiveness to the movement’s demands, we do find that mayoral partisanship may be associated with local government decisions to meaningfully reduce their police budgets or abstain from increasing them, but even this relationship may not be sustained in the longer term. Thus, we encourage more research on barriers that potentially inhibit local government responsiveness to social movements like Black Lives Matter.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/fsh0000765/) Anxiety and depressive symptoms, and positive and negative couple interactions among postpartum mothers and fathers before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aug 10th 2023, 15:32

Families, Systems, & Health,  Vol 41(2), Jun 2023, 160-167; doi:10.1037/fsh0000765
Introduction: The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and couples’ relationships may be particularly higher in vulnerable groups, including mothers and fathers during the transition to parenthood. This study compared mental health symptoms and couples’ relationship quality among parents who were at 6 months postpartum before or during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A sample of 109 primiparous mothers and fathers recruited before the COVID-19 pandemic were assessed at 6 months postpartum, before (n = 69) or during the COVID-19 pandemic (n = 40). Participants completed self-reported measures of anxiety and depressive symptoms, and couples’ positive and negative interactions. Results: Mothers and fathers assessed at 6 months postpartum during the COVID-19 pandemic reported more depressive symptoms and more couples’ negative interactions than mothers and fathers assessed at 6 months postpartum before the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussion: Findings suggested the COVID-19 pandemic may have negatively impacted the adjustment of postpartum parents, but causality cannot be determined from these cross-sectional analyses. The COVID-19 pandemic may be an adverse condition for parents’ postnatal mental health and couples’ relationships. Findings contribute to the literature on the transition to parenthood by providing evidence on the burden that the COVID-19 pandemic can add to the already stressful experiences associated with the postpartum period.

Several efforts this past legislative session sought to decriminalize what harm reduction advocates call life-saving tools in an increasingly adulterated and contaminated drug market. House Bill 287, which Sununu signed on Aug. 4, will allow the general public to possess testing strips and other materials intended to detect fentanyl and xylazine in a substance.

Aug 10th 2023, 13:32

Families, Systems, & Health,  Vol 41(2), Jun 2023, 149-159; doi:10.1037/fsh0000750
Introduction: Substantial unmet need for mental health services (MHS) exists in the United States, with pronounced disparities among people of color. Research highlights the need to identify facilitators and barriers to MHS utilization among Black and Latinx individuals to better promote overall health. We tested an expanded model of MHS use based on Andersen’s (1995) conceptual framework of health care utilization. Associations were examined between sociodemographic variables, trauma and adversity burden, living with HIV, and unmet need for MHS in a community sample of underresourced Black and Latinx individuals. Barriers to MHS utilization are described. Methods: Five-hundred participants completed the UCLA Life Adversities Screener (LADS), sociodemographic measures, and items assessing need for and barriers to MHS. Results: 228 (46%) participants reported a need for MHS; of these, 115 (51%) reported receiving MHS. A binomial logistic regression model estimated the relative contribution of the LADS on need for MHS. Severity of LADS, younger age, and living with HIV predicted unmet need for MHS. Barriers to MHS included financial and time constraints and health system-related issues. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests revealed differences in mental health symptoms by MHS need. Discussion: The unmet need for MHS in this sample of Black and Latinx individuals highlights the importance of addressing the systemic roots of trauma and adversity burden, and eliminating structural barriers to treatment to reduce existing health and mental health inequities.
