CSDE Affiliates Mahesh Somashekhar, Chris Hess, Ian Kennedy, and Kyle Crowder recently published article in Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World examines how real estate owners use home security discourse to affect property values. In “How Do Real Estate Actors Advertise in Mixed-Income Neighborhoods? The Importance of Home Security,” they discuss the history and current state of housing advertisements and how it impacts U.S. neighborhoods. Historically, then real estate industry emphasized privacy and exclusion in their property listings, which helped entrench patterns of residential segregation. However, recently some neighborhoods are becoming more rather than less diverse, as indicated by the growing number of mixed-income neighborhoods. The authors sought to investigate whether this increase in diversity means that advertisers are cutting back on their “exclusionary rhetoric when marketing homes in mixed-income communities?” To answer this question, the authors analyze over one million Craigslist rental listings posted in the 100 largest U.S. metropolitan areas in July and August of 2019.

Glass, Godwin, and Martin Publish Article in the American Journal of Human Biology on Cortisol Changes During Pubertal Development
CSDE Affiliates Delaney Glass and Melanie Martin, along with CSDE Statistical Demographer and Training Director Jessica Godwin, recently published an article in the American Journal of Human Biology that examines pubertal development among girls from the Indigenous Qom community. In “Longitudinal Analysis of Cortisol Changes During Pubertal Development in Indigenous Qom Girls” they evaluate how the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis may be critical to meeting the energetic demands of pubertal development. In the study, the authors use Bayesian modeling to examine cortisol trends across puberty and test their association with pubertal timing using longitudinal data collected from Qom females ages 7-14 as part of the Chaco Area Reproductive Ecology (CARE) Program.

Guttmanova and Colleagues Publish Article in SSA’s Addiction Journal
CSDE Affiliate Katarina Guttmanova and co-authors recently examined the extent to which young adults with a history of substance abuse were impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic.

CSDE Affiliate Tajima Publishes Article in Children and Youth Services Review
CSDE Affiliate Emiko Tajima and colleagues recently published research on how the STRIVE intervention affected parenting approaches among families involved with child welfare systems. In a pilot study of a randomized treatment intervention that emphasized supervised parent – child time, the authors find that the intervention increased parenting skills, greater parental engagement, and higher quality interactions than the control group. You can read about the study in Children and Youth Services Review: “Strive to enhance supervised family time visits for children in foster care: Outcomes from a pilot study with randomization.”
