“…It is possible that members of minoritized population suffer from racial trauma after experiencing barriers to receiving adequate medical attention due to racism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Racism and racial trauma persisted in the healthcare system far before the COVID-19 pandemic (Giaquinto et al, 2022;Hoang et al, 2023;Macias-konstantopoulos, et al, 2023;Zhou et al, 2022). Black women in particular have reported racial discrimination in the healthcare industry such as dismissal of pain, withholding of care, lack of bodily autonomy, and deferral to White people for decision-making (Hoang et al, 2023).…”

Battling cancer of a spouse during a worldwide pandemic is a unique phenomenon. While the world experienced hardships such as stay‐at‐home orders, masking mandates, or the COVID‐19 infection, caregivers supported their loved ones who were diagnosed with terminal diseases. Racism compounded trauma as Black caregivers were not provided with the same level of respect and care for their loved ones during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Racial trauma is experienced by Black Americans, even during the pandemic and while grieving losses of loved ones. An autoethnographic approach draws upon my lived experience of racial trauma while caring for my dying husband during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This autoethnography informs the role of counselor education programs to prepare future counselors to support minoritized clients who may have suffered from systemic racism, while grieving the loss of loved ones, especially during the COVID‐19 pandemic, and which could also have contributed to racial trauma.

“…First, since the findings were observed in a predominantly White sample of Americans, it remains uncertain how closely these findings generalize to individuals from different racial or ethnic backgrounds or to populations in other countries. In the United States, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous populations face structural barriers to accessing the same quality of prenatal care as White families (Hoang et al, 2023;Ibrahim et al, 2022), which contributes to significant lower birth weights in Black, Latinx, and Indigenous families relative to White families (Martin et al, 2021). Replication of findings in racially and ethnically diverse samples is a critical future direction in understanding the role of birth weight in cognitive development.…”

Birth weight is a widely used indicator of prenatal experiences in models of the developmental origins of cognitive ability across the lifespan. We modeled change in the strength of the association between birth weight and cognitive ability in a sample of twins (n = 1,501; 53.1% female; 91.1% White) followed prospectively from infancy to midlife. The magnitude of the association between birth weight and cognitive ability declined exponentially from infancy (B = .59, p < .05) to midlife (B = .27, p < .05). A 1-kilogram increase in birth weight was associated with an 8.85-point increase in cognitive scores at 3 months and a 4.05-point advantage after about 2.5 years. Biometric regression models revealed that shared environmental factors accounted for the decline in the association between birth weight and cognitive ability. A small, positive within-pair association persisted into midlife. Findings support developmental origin models of cognitive ability across the lifespan.
