The past five decades have seen a meteoric rise in the number of studies examining the physical and mental health consequences of traumas, negative events, and chronic strains. Sociologists have dem- onstrated definitively that burdens of stress account substantially for gender, race, ethnic, age, marital status, and socioeconomic status differences in bodily and emotional well-being. These findings point insistently to the origins of damaged health in conditions of structural disadvantage tied to individuals’ positions in the stratification system. It follows that programs and policies targeting structural disadvantages at the macro and meso levels offer a vital way to attenuate health dispari- ties in the aggregate and over the long run. These efforts can be complemented by coping and social support interventions that benefit individuals who are struggling with major events or chronic strains in their personal family, and work lives.
