This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) aims to study the impact of discrimination on anthropometric outcomes among children and adolescents using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. The $1,163,163 award to New York University will assess the association between different forms of discrimination (neighborhood and interpersonal) and the growth trajectory of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. It will also examine the role of discrimination in explaining racial/ethnic disparities in these anthropometric outcomes, investigate the mediating effect of obesity-related health behaviors, and evaluate the potential buffering effect of psychosocial resources. A sub-award of $268,901 was made to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to support the expertise of Dr. Natalie Slopen, a social epidemiologist, in guiding the data analyses and interpretation of results. The goal is to inform the optimization of existing clinical and place-based interventions aimed at reducing obesity and obesity-related health disparities.
