“…The insignificance of some covariates relating to health in our analysis may be related to limitations in the representativeness of our sample. For instance, only 2% of our participants did not have a high school diploma, compared to an estimated 18% of the general population and 40%-60% of individuals who are incarcerated (Nowotny et al, 2016;Reed, 2015 , 2000). None of our participants were over the age of 69, so age-related health decline may not have been evident within our sample.…”

Several studies have found an association between social identity-based discrimination and reduced physical health.Research also indicates that social support may sometimes protectively moderate this relationship. This study addresses the lack of sufficient research regarding these connections among individuals facing criminal record discrimination. The authors analyzed the responses of 168 people with felony records who completed a nationwide, online survey. While controlling for several other potentially impactful variables, the authors used regression analyses to explore the relationship between criminal record discrimination and reported healthy days per month and whether social support protectively moderated this relationship. There was a significant negative association between criminal record discrimination and healthy days among those with notably low social support. Meanwhile, moderate levels of social support appeared to protectively extinguish this relationship. This study suggests that social support may influence whether criminal record discrimination negatively impacts health.
