Our environment, where we live, work, socialize, can actually have an effect on our health

and well-being, and those effects can be deadly.

If people are stressed because they're struggling to pay the bills or are facing ongoing

aggression in the form of discrimination, research shows people's health suffers.

But how do we know this? How do we change it? In this episode, we talk with one psychologist

who takes the psychological research from the lab into medical settings, helping patients

and their doctors improve their care and their quality of life. I'm Audrey Hamilton,

and this is speaking of psychology.

Elizabeth Brondolo is a professor of psychology at St. John's University in New York.

She is also chair of the American

Psychological Association's Working Group on Stress and Health Disparities. Her research on the

health effects of racism and ethnic discrimination has led to efforts to improve the quality of

care to ethnically and economically diverse communities in and around the New York area.

Welcome, Dr. Brandolo.

Thank you. Thank you very much for having me.
