Two University of Michigan
researchers found that a Black
male
youth’s
perception
of
his neighborhood’s safety is
negatively
correlated
with
his risk of developing major
depressive disorder.
Psychiatry
research
investigator Shervin Assari and
Cleopatra
Howard
Caldwell,
chair of the Department of
Health Behavior and Health
Education,
conducted
the
research on 1,170 Black youths,
ages 13 to 17. The researchers
collected data on the subjects’
perceptions of safety within
their neighborhoods in relation
to their gender, race and risk of
developing MDD.
According to prior research
on the subject, MDD is less
common but more severe in the
Black population. Because of
this, Assari said further research
on the topic of the correlation
between MDD and other societal
factors is important.
“Although
MDD
may
be
less common among Blacks,
depression tends to be more
chronic, severe, and disabling in
Blacks,” Assari’s study said. “As a
result, regardless of presence of
clinical MDD, Blacks have more
severe
depressive
symptoms
than Whites.”
Assari said they wanted see
whether Black women were as
suceptible.
“We
wanted
to
know
whether perception of unsafe
neighborhood would be similarly
bad for all groups of Blacks based
on ethnicity and gender,” Assari
said. “There is a literature which
says women are more vulnerable
to their environment. We did not
find support for this theory.”
Instead,
these
researchers
found the opposite to be true. In
a previous study, Assari found
stress to be a stronger risk factor
for depression in men.
“The idea is that men are
more vulnerable to the effect of
environmental stress, possibly
because they try to look tough,”
Assari said. “So they do not seek
help when needed.”
According to the Center for
Disease Control, this research
could be troubling because men
are less likely to seek help for
issues relating to mental health,
and because racial minorities
are less likely to have access to
mental health care.
“Nearly 9% of men (8.5%)
had daily feelings of anxiety or
depression,” according to the
CDC. “Less than one-half of
them (41.0%) took medication
for these feelings or had recently
talked to a mental health
professional … Compared with
white
Americans,
persons
of other races in the United
States are less likely to have
access to and receive needed
mental health care.”
According to Assari, the
steps
involved
in
solving
this issue will not solely be
discovered through research.
Instead,
societal
changes
must take place in order for
the mental health of these
adolescents to be improved.
“The intervention should
be a multi-level one,” Assari
said. “While we should help
the individual to better cope
with the stress, we should help
families to support their youth,
and we should also design and
implement new public policies
that operate in a higher level.
Less investments on majority-
Black neighborhoods means
more depression and health
problems among resident of
those communities.”
‘U’ researchers find link between
neighborhood safety and depression
For Black males, perception of safety negatively correlated with mental wellness

The residents of Ann Arbor will
finally have a Jamba Juice location
to call their own, according to a new
MLive report — or so a sign recently
added to a vacant storefront
on Washtenaw Avenue would
suggest. Representatives from the
Washtenaw Commons shopping
center did not immediately respond
to requests for comment on whether
or not the rumors were true.
The California-based juice
chain has grown rapidly since its
founding in 1990, opening more
than 800 locations in 26 states and
nine countries, including the US.
Many news outlets even describe
the chain’s popularity as a “craze.”
The craze does not appear to
be popular with Michiganders,
though, according to the comments
section on the MLive article.
“Jamba Juice was great 17 years
ago when a cup of carbs the size of
your head seemed like an excellent
idea,” wrote the commenter
“Michigander.”
MLive user “chuck roast,” who
took issue with the speculative and
trivial nature of the article, had a
few words for the author.
“You need to get a real job!” he
wrote in a comment, tagging the
author.
User “TwoBigDogs,” read the
guidelines before commenting and
was a bit more respectful.
“Respectfully, WHY is THIS
a ‘story’?” TwoBigDogs wrote. “I
KNOW of 31 NEW signs installed
in the last WEEK alone. Where are
THEY?”
According to a book by the
company’s founder, the name came
from the word “jama,” meaning,
“to celebrate.” However, MLive
commenter Merica2016 wrote,
and a dictionary search confirmed,
the company’s name has a slightly
different meaning.
“Jamba means fart in Swahili,”
Merica2016 wrote.
