InCHIP Lecture: Sierra Carter On Racial Health Disparities And Aging
Thursday, February 3rd, 2022
12:30 PM - 01:30 PM
Other Webex
Sierra Carter, Ph.D., Georgia State University
Topic: Racial Health Disparities and Aging
February 3, 2022 | 12:30 – 1:30pm
My primary area of research focuses on racial health disparities and investigating how psychosocial and contextual stressors can affect both mental and physical health outcomes for underrepresented populations, with an emphasis on African American populations. I have a long-standing interest in the ways that health disparities in African American populations arise and are maintained by psychological, physiological, and contextual/social processes. A common theme throughout much of my work has been examining how racial discrimination, as an acute and chronic stressor, effects development and exacerbation of chronic illnesses and stress-related disorders across the life course. I integrate clinical, physiological, and biobehavioral measurement in my research to aid in improved identification of mechanisms that can be targeted in prevention and treatment efforts to reduce racial health disparities.
