Education, Religious Attendance, and Precursors to Deaths of Despair in the United States
Educational Attainment and Cardiovascular Disease Symptoms among Americans Entering Mid-Adulthood
Although the education-health gradient is well documented, relatively little is known about its application to cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of mortality in the United States. Furthermore, critical nuances across educational levels and demographic subgroups remain underexplored. The authors examine the association between education and CVD among U.S. adults entering mid-adulthood, leveraging a novel symptom-based CVD index captu…

Overcrowding and Covid-19 mortality across U.S. counties
A growing line of research underscores that sociodemographic factors may contribute to disparities in the impact of COVID-19. Further, stages of disease theory suggests that disparities may grow as the pandemic unfolds and more advantaged areas are better able to apply growing knowledge and mitigation strategies. In this paper, we focus on the role of county-level household overcrowding on disparities in COVID-19 mortality in U.S. counties. We ex…
Debts of despair
Recent deaths of despair literature hypothesizes that financial losses are a key mechanism through which education is associated with higher risk for drug use, alcohol abuse, and suicidal ideation. However, few studies have empirically assessed the significance of this harmful pathway or compared it to other hypothesized explanations. Drawing on data from over 8000 respondents in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this…
Race/ethnicity, maternal educational attainment, and infant mortality in the United States
This study examines patterns of and explanations for racial/ethnic-education disparities in infant mortality in the United States. Using linked birth and death data (2007-2010), we find that while education-specific infant mortality rates are similar for Mexican Americans and Whites, infants of college-educated African American women experience 3.1 more deaths per 1,000 live births (Rate Ratio = 1.46) than infants of White women with a high schoo…
Race, ethnicity and nativity and the prestige of colleges attended
An extended evaluation of the weathering hypothesis for birthweight
Prior weathering research finds that US-born Black women experience more rapidly deteriorating birthweight outcomes at older ages than US-born White women
The persistent southern disadvantage in US early life mortality, 1965-2014
BACKGROUND: Recent studies of US adult mortality demonstrate a growing disadvantage among southern states. Few studies have examined long-term trends and geographic patterns in US early life (ages 1 to 24) mortality, ages at which key risk factors and causes of death are quite different than among adults. OBJECTIVE: This article examines trends and variations in early life mortality rates across US states and census divisions. We assess whether t…
Educational Mobility among the Children of Asian American Immigrants
Recent qualitative research argues that Asian Americans’ educational attainments are not predicated on their parents’ education, diverging from status attainment theory. Using data from two nationally representative studies, the analysis reveals extremely high levels of offspring education and no association with parents’ education among Chinese, Indian, Korean, and Vietnamese immigrants. High adolescent educational expectations and parental pres…

Smoking and Variation in the Hispanic Paradox
Maternal Age and Offspring's Educational Attainment
Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), the current study examines which maternal age at birth provides offspring with optimal opportunities for higher educational attainment. The results show that maternal age has a curvilinear relationship with offspring's educational attainment, that is, the offspring of younger and older mothers are distinctly disadvantaged. Maternal ages 31 through 40 are a…
