Marquez and Co-authors Publish JAMA Article on COVID-19 Incidence in Prisons
CSDE Trainee Neal Marquez and co-authors published “COVID-19 Incidence and Mortality in Federal and State Prisons Compared with the US Population, April 5,2020, to April 3, 2021,” in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) this week. The authors observe differences in COVID-19 incidence and deaths in US prisons, relative to those same statistics for the non-incarcerated US population. They find that the consistently higher prevalence in the prison population led to a much greater cumulative toll, despite efforts by prison systems to adopt policies to prevent contagion.
Gilroy and co-author Publish Socius Article on Understanding Digital Trace Data and Sexual Identity Disclosures
In late July, CSDE Trainee Connor Gilroy and co-author Ridhi Kashyap (University of Oxford) published the article, “Digital Traces of Sexualities: Understanding the Salience of Sexual Identity through Disclosure on Social Media,” in Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World. Using a dataset from the Facebook advertising platform of 200 million users, the authors explore the likelihood of users disclosing sexual identity on their profile across age, gender, and relationship status. The authors find differences across generations in the likelihood of expressing sexual identity on their profile, with younger users more likely than older users to disclose their sexuality, and older users substitute this disclosure by including marital status on their profile. For further details about the intersectionality of disclosing sexuality on Facebook, check out the full article HERE.
