PROJECT SUMMARY Incidents of discrimination are part of the everyday life experiences of adolescents of color, and although many studies document the negative psychological and academic repercussions of discrimination, we know almost nothing about how discrimination gets under the skin to influence adolescent health. Yet it is precisely these processes that could initiate racial/ethnic health disparities observed in adult populations, and adolescence is the key time to study these processes since the social-cognitive ability to recognize discriminatory treatment emerges in the second decade of life. My proposed project targets biodemography and the biopsychosocial pathways by which discrimination influences adolescent health and well-being. I have two primary aims for my K01 award: 1) gain extensive training in biodemography that will build my expertise as a population dynamics scholar and 2) test a biopsychosocial model of racial/ethnic discrimination using secondary data from three population-based studies with young adult samples and primary data from collected from adolescents. These aims will allow me to achieve my long-term career goals of a) enhancing interdisciplinary training of graduate and undergraduate students in my department around population dynamics and biomarkers across the lifespan and b) developing an R01 grant that tests a larger biopsychosocial model that integrates what I learn in my K01 award with an examination of potential buffers that might protect adolescents from the pernicious effects of discrimination. My primary mentor for the K01 award is demographer Mark Hayward, with biobehavioral psychologist Elizabeth Susman, adolescent health nursing professor Lynn Rew, and health psychologist Velma McBride Murry serving as co-mentors. My career development plan includes frequent mentoring meetings, off- site training sessions and conferences, on-site coursework, biomarker and health field and lab experiences, and R01 application preparation. This training plan is critical for my research study that focuses on three aims: 1) investigate the biopsychosocial pathways linking perceptions of discrimination to mental and physical health, 2) examine how SES and SES marginalization contribute to the biopsychosocial pathways of interest, and 3) assess the degree to which gender and pubertal development condition the biopsychosocial pathways. The research study includes analyses of population data from the NSAL, NLAAS, and Add Health along with primary data collected from 100 participants (drawn from a larger study that I am conducting) who report experiencing various constellations of racial/ethnic discrimination. This training and research agenda fits squarely within the growing subfield of biodemography, where biological insights are being integrated into models of population health and health dynamics. My training and my foundation of empirical research leave me well-situated to pursue this critical line of inquiry, but I can only do so with the career development provided by this K01 award. Receiving the K01 award would contribute substantially to my intellectual development, my research skills, and my ability to become an independent biodemographer and population dynamics scholar.

项目摘要 歧视事件是颜色青少年的日常生活经历的一部分，尽管许多 研究记录了歧视的负面心理和学术影响，我们几乎知道 没有关于如何在皮肤下影响青少年健康的歧视。然而，正是这些 可能引发成人人群中观察到的种族/种族健康差异的过程，青春期是 研究这些过程的关键时间，因为社会认知能力识别歧视性治疗 出现在生命的第二个十年中。我提出的项目针对生物人口统计学和生物心理社会 歧视影响青少年健康和福祉的途径。我有两个主要目标 K01奖：1）在生物人体学上获得广泛的培训，这将建立我作为人群动态的专业知识 学者和2）使用三个二级数据测试种族/族裔歧视的生物心理社会模型 来自青少年收集的年轻成人样本的基于人群的研究和主要数据。这些 目的将使我能够实现我的长期职业目标a）增强研究生的跨学科培训 以及我部门的本科生围绕整个人口动态和生物标志物 b）开发R01赠款，该赠款测试了一个更大的生物心理社会模型，该模型整合了我在我的中学到的知识 K01奖，并检查了可能保护青少年免受有害效果的潜在缓冲区的检查 歧视。我的K01奖的主要导师是人口统计学家马克·海沃德（Mark Hayward） 心理学家伊丽莎白·苏斯曼（Elizabeth Susman），青少年健康护理教授林恩·雷沃（Lynn Rew）和健康心理学家维尔玛（Velma） 麦克布赖德·默里（McBride Murry）担任联合官员。我的职业发展计划包括经常进行指导会议， 现场培训和会议，现场课程，生物标志物和健康领域以及实验室经验， 和R01应用程序准备。该培训计划对于我的研究研究至关重要，该研究重点是三个目标： 1）调查将歧视与精神和身体健康的看法联系在一起的生物心理社会途径， 2）检查SES和SES边缘化如何有助于生物心理社会感兴趣的途径，3） 评估性别和青春期发展的程度。这 研究研究包括对NSAL，NLAAS的人口数据的分析，并增加了健康 从100名参与者那里收集的主要数据（从我正在进行的较大研究中得出） 经历各种种族/种族歧视的星座。这个培训和研究议程适合 在生物人口统计学的不断增长的子场内，正在将生物学见解整合到 人口健康和健康动态模型。我的培训和经验研究假期的基础 我很容易追求这一关键的询问线，但是我只能在提供的职业发展中这样做 通过这个K01奖。获得K01奖将为我的智力发展做出重大贡献 研究技能，以及我成为独立生物人口统计学家和人群动态学者的能力。
