Here at TSP headquarters, we’re gearing up for another fall semester starting in just a couple weeks — that means welcoming new board members, producing more in-house content, and highlighting awesome writing by our partners and community pages! Until then, we’ve got social science research on the “Hispanic Paradox,” new research on what makes a valuable potential partner for marriage, and insight on how childhood trauma makes reentry more difficult.There’s Research on That!:
“Health Minorities and the Hispanic Paradox,” by Isabel Arriagada. Social science research attempts to answer the question, why do Hispanics overall have better health outcomes than non-Hispanic Whites despite exhibiting low-income status and disproportionate exposure to stress factors associated with the immigration process?
Discoveries:
“‘I Do’ for Round 2?” by Sarah Catherine Billups. New research in Demography finds that never being married is a valuable trait on the marriage market and these individuals can be the most selective when choosing a partner.
Clippings:
“Childhood Trauma Makes Reentry More Difficult,” by De Andre’ T. Beadle. The New York Times talks to Bruce Western about the ways childhood trauma and mental health concerns make reentry more difficult for formerly incarcerated individuals.
