We’re behind on our goal; can we count on you? Gifts from generous readers have helped us reach 8% of our $50,000 fundraising goal, but we have a significant gap to fill before Dec. 31. If 100 readers made a MATCHED gift of $50 today, we’d be back on track — please show your support for our independent newsroom by giving now.

In another study, local researchers explored how racism and sexism could explain why Black birthers are more likely to retain or gain weight after pregnancy, which puts them at risk for chronic diseases.

Where transportation options, services and institutional supports abound, youth hopelessness was less prevalent. With two in five high school students reporting mental health difficulties, enhancing community resources could be a lifesaving proposition.
