Background— Previous research suggests that neighborhood-level racial/ethnic residential segregation is linked to health, but it has not been studied prospectively in relation cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods and Results— Participants were 1595 non-Hispanic black, 2345 white, 1289 Hispanic adults from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis free CVD at baseline (aged 45–84 years). Own-group was assessed by using G i * statistic, a measure how neighborhood composition deviates...
Despite the recent flourishing of mediation analysis techniques, many modern approaches are difficult to implement or applicable only a restricted range regression models. This report provides practical guidance for implementing new technique utilizing inverse odds ratio weighting (IORW) estimate natural direct and indirect effects analyses. IORW takes advantage ratio's invariance property condenses information on relationship between exposure (treatment) multiple mediators, conditional...
Extreme racial/ethnic disparities exist in children’s access to “opportunity neighborhoods.” These arise from high levels of residential segregation and have implications for health well-being childhood throughout the life course. The fact that are rooted social factors, such as an unequal geography opportunity, should not a paralyzing effect on public community. However, we need move beyond conventional care approaches consider policies improve opportunity-rich neighborhoods through...
The causes of the racial/ethnic disparity in preterm birth (PTB) remain largely unknown; traditional risk factors such as smoking and prenatal care fail to account for it. authors examined whether living metropolitan areas (MAs) with high levels residential racial segregation along multiple dimensions (hypersegregation) was associated higher rates PTB or larger disparities modified established race-age association PTB. merged 2000 natality data (n = 1,944,703) US Census measures Black-White...
Background For many childhood cancers, survival is lower among non‐Hispanic blacks and Hispanics in comparison with whites, this may be attributed to underlying socioeconomic factors. However, prior cancer studies have not formally tested for mediation by status (SES). This study applied methods quantify the role of SES racial/ethnic differences survival. Methods used population‐based data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results 18 database black, white, Hispanic children who had been...
Abstract This article summarizes the empirical evidence for effect of housing mobility policies on health outcomes. Our focus derived from our interest in that might help reduce disparities and finding that, excluding concerned with physical characteristics (e.g., exposure to lead), only has been evaluated its effects health. We reviewed 13 articles covering five studies ranked them according their methodological strength. Although data have collected just a few studies, review finds this...
Researchers measuring racial inequality of neighborhood environment across metropolitan areas (MAs) have traditionally employed segregation measures, yet such measures are limited for incorporating a third axis information, including opportunity. Using Census 2000 tract-level data the largest U.S. MAs, we introduce interquartile-range overlap statistic to summarize substantial separation entire distributions environments between groups. We find poverty minorities only 27% with those whites....
Retaining severely impaired individuals poses a major challenge in longitudinal studies of determinants dementia or memory decline. In the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), participants complete direct assessments biennially until they are too to interview. Thereafter, proxy informants, typically spouses, assess subject's cognitive function using standardized instruments. Because there is no common scale for assessments, reports often excluded from analyses. The Aging, Demographics, Memory...
Context: Extensive observational evidence indicates that youth in high-poverty neighborhoods exhibit poor mental health, although not all children may be affected similarly.Objective: To use experimental to assess whether gender and family health problems modify the effects of moving from high-to lowpoverty neighborhoods.Design: Randomized controlled trial.Setting: Volunteer low-income families public housing 5 US cities between 1994-1997.Participants : We analyze 4-to 7-year outcomes aged...
In 1 previous study, it was shown that neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with cognitive decline among Latinos. No studies have explored whether and to what extent individual-level factors account for the relation between decline. The purpose of present study assess influence position (SEP) on examine how SEP (educational level, annual income, occupation) influenced associations over course 10 years. Participants (n = 1,789) were community-dwelling older Mexican Americans...
