Proposed Projects

1. The purpose of this study is to

evaluate the reliability and validity of

existing instruments that measure stress

and stressful life events in black women

of reproductive age. Eligible subjects

will be black women who live in the

Atlanta metropolitan area. Subjects will

be recruited from flyers, newspaper

announcements, hospitals and clinics in

the metropolitan Atlanta area. Subjects

will be screened and selected based on

age (18–30 or 31–45 years), years of

education (12, 13–15, 16 or more), and

pregnancy status (pregnant, not

pregnant). A maximum of thirty women

will be selected for each combination of

age, education and pregnancy status.

The minimum age for participation will

be 18 to avoid the complications due to

requirement of parental consent.

Women will be excluded if they use

illicit drugs, such as heroin, cocaine and

marijuana because these substances may

alter the metabolism of cortisol. The

contact, timing and spacing of the

interviews and laboratory collection are

based on the methodology developed

and used for conducting reliability and

validity tests. Approximately one half of

the women will be pregnant at the time

of data collection.

Women enrolled in the study respond

to a series of face-to-face and selfadministered demographic and psychosocial questionnaires. Women are also

asked to provide a saliva sample so that

we can correlate reported levels of stress

with biological measures of stress.

Participation in this study is

voluntary and participants will receive

compensation of $35 for their time. A
