However, insufficient attention has been paid to differences among Black African adults, and to how the distribution of depressive symptoms compares between these adults and other adults. We augment existing research by investigating how the size and composition of the race gap in depression scores varies at different percentiles of the mental health distribution. We analyze national self-reported data on the frequency of depressive symptoms, and estimate recentred influence function decompositions of the unconditional race gap at each quantile of the distribution. The analysis identifies a race gap in depression scores that is twice as large at the lower tail of the mental health distribution than at the upper tail, signalling that Black African adults are particularly less likely than other adults to report no, or only a few, symptoms. At the lower tail, the race gap derives mostly from differences in the relationship between characteristics and mental health, while at higher percentiles, differences in the level of endowments, or stressors, are more important. At the upper tail, where depression scores are likely to correspond to major depressive episodes, the race gap narrows to zero. The size and composition of the average race gap in depression scores therefore masks considerable variation about the mean, which should be considered when policy is targeted to redress inequalities in mental health treatment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47780,"journal":{"name":"Ssm-Population Health","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 101829"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144312624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unpaid care work, which encompasses childcare, eldercare, cooking, and cleaning, and alcohol use, are both gendered. Men are more likely to consume alcohol, binge drink, and have alcohol use disorder and women do more unpaid care work in families. Given the gendered nature of both, this study aims to assess if alcohol consumption impacts the distribution of unpaid care work in families by gender. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), a longitudinal dataset, this paper analyzes how alcohol use influences the husband and wife's distribution of unpaid care work. Data was analyzed using a fixed effects model with robust standard errors. The results indicate that alcohol use significantly impacts the distribution of unpaid care work in the family. Heavy drinking by the husband is associated with the wives completing an additional 10.59 hours of childcare a week and 2.120 more hours of housework a week. Heavy drinking by the wife is correlated with 2.384 fewer hours of housework. The wife's drinking behavior has a minimal effect on the husband's unpaid care burden. These results indicate that there are even higher levels of gender inequality in unpaid care work in alcohol-affected families (AAFs) which may lead to worse social, economic, and psychological outcomes for the women in those families.

This leaves critical gaps in understanding how these dynamics unfold in real-world contexts. One such gap involves the role of discretionary time availability, a key determinant of wellbeing. This is particularly important because friendship loss has temporal dimensions, as individuals must reallocate the time once shared with friends. Using data from the Canadian Time for Health Survey, this study adopts a three-stage analytical approach. First, bivariate analyses explore the distribution of self-reported pain by socioeconomic status (SES) and friendship loss. Next, binary logistic regressions examine the relationship between friendship loss and self-reported pain, accounting for time availability and relevant sociodemographic control variables. Finally, propensity score weighting and robustness tests evaluate whether otherwise similar individuals — differing only in their experience of friendship loss — report distinct levels of persistent physical pain. This research illustrates that: (i) friendship loss is a significant predictor of persistent physical pain; (ii) respondent sociodemographic characteristics shape the experience; (iii) both time excess and time poverty increase the expected risk of pain, suggesting the presence of Temporal Goldilocks Zones. In short, physical pain is concurrently a sociotemporal phenomenon, transcending individual characteristics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47780,"journal":{"name":"Ssm-Population Health","volume":"30 ","pages":"Article 101816"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144069303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
