对许多非洲裔美国青年来说，经济和种族边缘化的共同影响使他们向稳定的成年人角色过渡具有挑战性。我们对这些挑战如何影响未来生活的机会有了很多了解，但我们缺乏对这些挑战在相互关联的生活中意味着什么的理解。利用生命历程框架，本研究探讨了年轻的非洲裔美国人在向成年过渡期间在各种突出领域的经历如何影响他们母亲的健康。结果表明，非洲裔美国人在向成年过渡期间所经历的压力源（例如，失业、感情问题、被捕）会增加母亲患慢性病或非稳态负荷的累积生物风险，并降低主观健康水平。这些结果表明，越来越脆弱和不确定的成年过渡的代价不仅限于年轻人，还包括他们的父母。因此，在这一过渡期间增加公共投资不仅可以减少不平等，改善年轻人自己的生活机会，而且还可以减轻父母帮助子女度过这一过渡的沉重负担，从而促进健康的老龄化。
For many African American youth, the joint influences of economic and racial marginalization render the transition to stable adult roles challenging. We have gained much insight into how these challenges affect future life chances, yet we lack an understanding of what these challenges mean in the context of linked lives. Drawing on a life course framework, this study examines how young African Americans’ experiences across a variety of salient domains during the transition to adulthood affect their mothers’ health. Results suggest that stressors experienced by African Americans during the transition to adulthood (e.g., unemployment, troubled romantic relationships, arrest) heighten their mothers’ cumulative biological risk for chronic diseases, or allostatic load, and reduce subjective health. These results suggest that the toll of an increasingly tenuous and uncertain transition to adulthood extends beyond young people to their parents. Hence, increased public investments during this transition may not only reduce inequality and improve life chances for young people themselves, but may also enhance healthy aging by relieving the heavy burden on parents to help their children navigate this transition.
