CSDE Affiliate Patricia Louie, with co-authors Laura Upenieks, Christy Erving, and Courtney Thomas Tobin have recently been honored with the ASA’s Best Publication Award in the Sociology of Mental Health Section for their recent publication, “Do Racial Differences in Coping Resources Explain the Black–White Paradox in Mental Health? A Test of Multiple Mechanisms.” This paper explores how various coping resources explain the tendency for Black Americans to report similar or better mental health than White Americans despite experiencing greater stress exposure. The paper will be acknowledged during the 2022 ASA Annual Meeting in August.
