Firearm homicides disproportionately affect Black communities. Redlining - discriminatory lending practices of the early 20th century are associated with current increased rates firearm violence. Poverty and concentrated disadvantage also The interaction these factors racist redlining housing remains unclear.We used generalized structural equation modeling to characterize mediators through which 1930s led present violence in Boston using a negative binomial model. Principle component...
Objective: To understand the role of racial residential segregation on Black-White disparities in breast cancer presentation, treatment, and outcomes. Summary Background Data: Racial treatment outcomes are well documented. Black individuals present at advanced stage, less likely to receive appropriate surgical adjuvant have lower overall stage-specific survival relative White individuals. Methods: Using data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results program, we performed a retrospective...
Objective: We sought to examine the impact of racial residential segregation on Black-White disparities in colorectal cancer diagnosis, surgical resection, and cancer-specific survival. Summary Background Data: There are clear diagnosis treatment with equally disparate explanations for these findings, including genetics, socioeconomic factors, health behaviors. Methods: Data Black White patients were obtained from SEER between 2005 2015. The exposure interest was index dissimilarity (IoD), a...
Objective: To understand the mediating effect of socioeconomic factors on association between residential segregation and racial disparities in pancreatic cancer (PC). Background: Black patients with PC present at a later stage have worse mortality than White patients. These been explained by level segregation. Methods: Data were obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End-Results (SEER) included all who diagnosed 2005 2015. The primary exposure variable was Index Dissimilarity, validated...
Objectives To examine the effects of racial residential segregation and structural racism on diagnosis, treatment, outcomes patients with prostate cancer. Patients Methods This retrospective cohort study examined men diagnosed cancer between 2005 2015. We collected data from Black White men, aged ≥30 years, living within 100 most populous counties participating in Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results programme, a nationally representative dataset. The Index Dissimilarity, validated...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To investigate whether the location and extent of CT hyperdense artery sign (HAS) at presentation affects response to IV alteplase in randomized controlled Third International Stroke Trial (IST-3). <h3>Methods:</h3> All prerandomization follow-up (24–48 hours) brain scans IST-3 were assessed for HAS presence, location, by masked raters. We grew, persisted, shrank, or disappeared follow-up, association with 6-month functional outcome, effect alteplase. is registered...
Much of the recorded medical literature focuses on individual-level factors that contribute to firearm violence. Recently, studies have highlighted higher incidence violence in historically redlined and marginalized areas, but few gone study downstream associations causing these differences. This aims understand effects historic redlining current income mobility violence.Using a retrospective cross-sectional design, shooting incidents were spatially joined with vector files linked data (how...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Psychosocial data about living kidney donors have been collected for almost 5 decades now. To date, however, no study has provided any psychosocial follow-up of who developed a serious health problem such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Donors ESRD were invited to participate in qualitative interview if they met one or both the inclusion criteria: (1) within 10 years donating and/or (2) lacked...
Gunshot wounds (GSWs) remain a significant source of mortality in the United States. Timely delivery trauma care is known to be critical for survival. We sought understand relationship predicted transport time and death after GSW. Given large racial disparities firearm violence, we also times by victim race, an unstudied phenomenon.
Firearm injury remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Because prior lack comprehensive data sources, there is paucity literature on nonfatal firearm injury. Associations have previously been shown between state-level laws fatalities, but few studies examined effects these hospitalization rates. Our objective was to examine relationship state injury-related rates across all 50 states over 17-year period.In this panel study design, we used fixed multivariate...
The community advisory board (CAB) of the Harlem Urban Research Center, which includes service providers, Department Health workers, and academics, identified substance users’health as an action priority.
