In this week’s Scientist Highlights, we feature Christy Erving, PhD, who became a MCUAAAR Scientist in 2021. Dr. Erving’s RCMAR pilot project is “Multiple Sources of Psychosocial Stress and Mental Health among Black Women across the Life Course”. Her primary research areas explore how race, ethnicity, gender, and immigrant status intersect to produce health differentials; the Black–White mental health paradox; and how status (e.g., gender) shapes the relationship between psychological and physical health.
