“Socioeconomic Stability Buffers Racial Discrimination Effect on Depression in a Marginalized Community,” co-authored by Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation’s EVP and Chief Program Officer, Tracey Capers, has been published online in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, an outlet of the famous Springer NATURE publishing conglomerate.

This paper contributes to one of the core public health discussions of our time, the role of social determinants of health. Their evidence suggest the utility of healthcare-informed social policy, whereas public health problems, including depression elevated by racial discrimination, may be effectively addressable by feasible, community-based innervations.

Also, this work has just been presented by Dr. Marquis Chandler at the national conference of the Society for Social Work Research (SSWR), in Washington, DC, and was received with enthusiasm by the members of the national research community.
