A new United Nations-funded study has revealed the lasting psychological and social scars left by a state-sponsored witch hunt in The Gambia, more than a decade after it was carried out by former President Yahya Jammeh.

Led by Professor Mick Finlay of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in Cambridge, England, this is the first academic research into the stigma associated with government-led witchcraft accusations and includes interviews with victims and their families.

Earlier this year, the latest U.S. Latino GDP Report from UCLA and Cal Lutheran revealed that the direct economic output of the country’s Latino population exceeded $4 trillion for the first time. Now, new findings from the research team that a quarter of that came from Latinos in one state: California. The California Latino GDP Report shows that the state’s Latino GDP surpassed $1 trillion in 2023.

About The Study: In this cohort and nested case-control study among CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults; a prospective study) participants, moderate to vigorous–intensity physical activity (MVPA) declined from early adulthood to midlife then plateaued, with notable demographic differences; cases experienced steep declines before cardiovascular disease (CVD), and gaps compared to controls persisted afterward. Black women had the lowest MVPA across adulthood and the highest risk of low MVPA post-CVD, underscoring the need to support lifelong physical activity and address group differences.
