“…For example, collecting two cortisol measurements prevents observations of rate of recovery after exposure to the stressor and the length of time that cortisol levels remained elevated is unknown. Further investigation using area-under-the-curve methods to capture sustained reactivity or delayed recovery period following the discriminatory experience would provide insight into the potential long-term consequences of discrimination on hypo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis function and recovery (see Helpman, Penso, Zagoory-Sharon, Feldman, & Gilboa-Schechtman, 2017;Park, Flores, Aschbacher, & Mendes, 2018). Blunted cortisol responses are evident among individuals who have faced longitudinal trauma (e.g., war survivors; Miller, Chen, & Zhou, 2007).…”
