Background
Dr. Krysia Mossakowski's research investigates the social and cultural determinants of health. Her recent articles in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior examine how the stress of discrimination impacts the mental health and physical health of different racial/ethnic groups. From a life course perspective, she is also interested in health disparities during specific life stages and whether the past can leave an imprint on psychological well-being. Using national longitudinal data, Dr. Mossakowski is currently studying how factors during the transition to adulthood predict depressive symptoms and heavy drinking many years later.
