Global trends and disparities in social isolation



JAMA Network Open




About The Study:

 In this cross-sectional study, social isolation was found to have increased globally after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the initial increase disproportionately seen in lower-income populations and subsequent increases broadening across socioeconomic strata. Targeted interventions for vulnerable groups and research examining country-level policies are urgently needed to mitigate high isolation levels and reduce inequities.

Country of birth, race, ethnicity, and prenatal depression



JAMA Network Open




About The Study: 

Across racial and ethnic groups, prenatal depression diagnosis and moderate to severe depression symptoms varied by maternal nativity in this cross-sectional study. The observed advantage among non–U.S.-born individuals across other maternal and neonatal outcomes may not uniformly apply to prenatal mental health conditions when race and ethnicity are considered. Future research should explore sociocultural factors that may influence this association.
