The purpose of this study was to explore differences in perceived stress, glucocorticoid receptor (GR), and the expression of histone acetylation (HAT) of the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) gene between non-Hispanic Black and non-Hispanic White women in their 2nd trimester of pregnancy. Black women are 2–3 times more likely to experience preterm birth (PTB) and maternal mortality than White women (Hoyert, 2022; Martin et al., 2019). Researchers have reported chronic stress associated...

Black women are 2–3 times more likely to experience preterm birth (PTB) and maternal mortality than White women (Hoyert, 2022; Martin et al., 2019). Researchers have reported chronic stress associated with factors such as experiencing discrimination, financial hardship, and abuse may induce dysregulation of the stress hormones (Kramer et al., 2013; Shapiro-Mendoza et al., 2016). Likewise, the stress hormones glucocorticoid and CRH dysregulation have been linked to early labor, preeclampsia, and maternal death (Kramer et al., 2013; Shapiro-Mendoza et al., 2016; Yu et al., 2013). Additionally, social status, gender, education, and income are recognized as social determinants of health. This study used an observational, cross-sectional design to analyze the differences in perceived stress, depression, GR, and HAT of the CRH gene between a group of Black and White pregnant women in their 2nd trimester of pregnancy. This study analyzed perceived stress, depression, and peripheral blood monocytes cells (PMBC) using secondary, deidentified data from pregnant women. The Perceived Stress Scale was used to measure stress, the profile in Mood Depression Scale measured depression, a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to quantitative Polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis was used to measure GR and HAT of the CRH gene. The data were analyzed using correlation and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to examine relationships and the differences between groups.

This study aimed to understand the relationship between School Counseling Site Supervisors’ (SCSS) characteristics, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) training, cultural humility, advocacy competency, and SDOH competency (n = 69). SDOH refers to the factors that inform an individual’s physical and mental health. Cultural humility refers to an innate openness and curiosity about individual experiences, perspectives, and culture. Advocacy competency refers to the ability to implement advocacy...
Show moreThis study aimed to understand the relationship between School Counseling Site Supervisors’ (SCSS) characteristics, Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) training, cultural humility, advocacy competency, and SDOH competency (n = 69). SDOH refers to the factors that inform an individual’s physical and mental health. Cultural humility refers to an innate openness and curiosity about individual experiences, perspectives, and culture. Advocacy competency refers to the ability to implement advocacy efforts within an individual’s community. Having competency with addressing SDOH in schools, practicing cultural humility, and advocacy competency can help SCSS improve supervision practice within school communities. This study followed a non-experimental, correlational survey research design. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to measure the strength of the relationships between the variables. The data supported statistically significant relationships between SDOH-based supervision training (F(12,51) = 2.59, p < .05, R2 = .38), cultural humility (F(1,67) = 6.17, p < .015, R2 = .08), and advocacy competency (F(1,67) = 9.7, p < .003, R2 = .13) as predictors of SDOH competency.
