State minimum wage laws and state-level rates of new HIV diagnoses among Black, Latine, and White US women and men, 2010–2019
BACKGROUND: In the USA, HIV remains a pressing public health challenge (~37 400 new diagnoses in 2018) and pronounced racialised inequities persist. In 2018, Black and Latine people represented 43% and 26% of new diagnoses but only 13% and 18% of the population, respectively. Antiracist laws may help mitigate these inequities, yet research investigating specific laws is lacking. This study aimed to examine associations between state minimum wage …
Structural Racism-Related State Laws and Healthcare Access Among Black, Latine, and White U.S. Adults

Social participation trajectories in late life and cognitive functioning – A sequence analysis based on Taiwan Longitudinal Study on aging
Our study findings support the value of social engagement and work involvement for healthy cognitive aging. Additionally, we identified subgroups that were more likely to be socially engaged
Causal mediation of the association between educational attainment and late-life cognitive function by trajectories of social participation
Disparities in Postpartum Care Visits
While shorter leave durations increased the risk of not attending postpartum care, those with lower incomes had the highest absolute risk of not attending care. Policies to support paid leave and extended leave duration are necessary, along with additional supports to increase postpartum care utilization, particularly among low-income families
Gender minority stress is associated with past-year suicidal ideation in a national probability sample of transgender and gender diverse adults
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults experience increased discrimination and victimization relative to cisgender adults, thus elevating their risk for suicidal ideation (SI). Social support and connection to the broader TGD community may mitigate the relationship between gender identity-based stressors (i.e., interpersonal minority stressors), psychological stress processes (i.e., intrapsychic minority stress processes), and TGD adults' ri…
Controlling partner dynamics in transgender/nonbinary young adults’ romantic relationships
Controlling partner dynamics-when a person's sexual or romantic partner exerts disproportionate control over their behavior and/or joint decisions-can adversely impact sexual and mental health. For transgender and/or nonbinary (TNB) young adults, cissexism-the system of power relations that marginalizes TNB people in favor of cisgender people-may contribute to controlling partner dynamics. However, mechanisms linking cissexism to controlling part…
Evaluating Methods for Mapping Historical Redlining to Census Tracts for Health Equity Research
Longitudinal relationships between early-life homelessness and school-aged asthma and wheezing
BACKGROUND: Homelessness is a disruptive life event with profound impacts on children's health. It remains unclear, however, whether homelessness in early life has an enduring association with asthma and wheezing among school-aged children. OBJECTIVE: To test whether early-life homelessness is prospectively associated with asthma and wheezing during school-aged years. METHODS: We draw on data from 9242 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of…
Using Implicit Measures of Discrimination
Recent studies showed that implicit measures are valuable instruments for assessing exposure to discrimination and predicting negative physical conditions. Between March 10, 2020, and April 1, 2020, we conducted three experiments (577 participants) in the USA to evaluate the use of group-specific vs. general race/ethnicity categories in implicit measures of discrimination. We measured implicit discrimination and attitudes towards the general race…
Area level indirect exposure to extended conflicts and early childhood anthropometric outcomes in India
In-utero and early childhood indirect exposure to protracted conflicts were associated with increased stunting and underweight in India. Given the continued exposures of such historically and contextually rooted internal conflicts in many LMICs, chronic violence exposures should be targeted in public health policies as important social and political determinant of child health
When social identities intersect
Hindu children had the highest advantages over Muslim children when they belonged to the most privileged castes. Muslim forward caste children were also disadvantaged compared to Hindu children from deprived castes (Hindu OBCs and Hindu SCs), in the case of stunting. Thus, disadvantages from a socially underprivileged religious identity, seemed to override relative social advantages of forward caste identity for Muslim children. Disadvantages bor…
Decreasing Survey Response Rates in the Time of Covid-19
Objectives. To examine whether, and if so how, US national and state survey response rates changed after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. We compared the change in response rates between 2020 and 2019 of 6 (3 social and economic, 3 health focused) major US national surveys (2 with state response rates). Results. All the ongoing surveys except 1 reported relative decreases (∼29%) in response rates. For example, the household response r…
The evolving roles of US political partisanship and social vulnerability in the Covid-19 pandemic from February 2020–February 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has had intense, heterogeneous impacts on different communities and geographies in the United States. We explore county-level associations between COVID-19 attributed deaths and social, demographic, vulnerability, and political variables to develop a better understanding of the evolving roles these variables have played in relation to mortality. We focus on the role of political variables, as captured by support for either t…
Toward a Theory of Nature Experience and Health
This article presents an integrated theoretical framework to study the socioenvironmental attributes of the nature experience as a basic health behavior. After first reviewing existing literature on theories behind nature exposure, we discuss social cognitive theory (SCT) to explain individual nature experience through the model's triadic dynamic of environment, cognitions, and behaviors. We then expand beyond SCT's focus on the individual to exa…

Revealing the Unequal Burden of Covid-19 by Income, Race/Ethnicity, and Household Crowding
OBJECTIVE: To overcome the absence of national, state, and local public health data on the unequal economic and social burden of COVID-19 in the United States. DESIGN: We analyze US county COVID-19 deaths and confirmed COVID-19 cases and positive COVID-19 tests in Illinois and New York City zip codes by area percent poverty, percent crowding, percent population of color, and the Index of Concentration at the Extremes. SETTING: US counties and zip…
Association Between New-Onset Medicaid Home Care and Family Caregivers’ Health
In this cohort study, Medicaid home care was associated with improvement in caregiver self-rated mental health, but not with any short-term change in self-rated physical health. When evaluating the social value of home care programs, policy makers should consider spillover benefits to caregivers
Comparing denominator sources for real-time disease incidence modeling
Across the United States public health community in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic and increased concern regarding racial/ethnic health disparities, there is widespread concern about our ability to accurately estimate small-area disease incidence rates due to the absence of a recent census to obtain reliable population denominators. 2010 decennial census data are likely outdated, and intercensal population estimates from the Census Bureau, whic…
Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Years of Potential Life Lost Attributable to Covid-19 in the United States
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic in the United States has disproportionately impacted communities of color across the country. Focusing on COVID-19-attributable mortality, we expand upon a national comparative analysis of years of potential life lost (YPLL) attributable to COVID-19 by race/ethnicity (Bassett et al., 2020), estimating percentages of total YPLL for non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanics, non-Hispanic As…
The Relationship between Nature Deprivation and Individual Wellbeing across Urban Gradients under Covid-19
Lockdown aiming at slowing COVID-19 transmission has altered nature accessibility patterns, creating quasi-experimental conditions to assess if retracted nature contact and perceived nature deprivation influence physical and emotional wellbeing. We measure through on-line survey methods ( n = 529) how pandemic mandates limiting personal movement and outdoor nature access within the United States affect self-assessed nature exposure, perceived nat…
Identifying US County-level characteristics associated with high Covid-19 burden
These county-level associations are based off complete data from the entire country, come from a single modeling framework that longitudinally analyzes the US COVID-19 pandemic at the county-level, and are applicable to guiding government resource allocation policies to different US counties
Frequent police stops, parental incarceration and mental health
BACKGROUND: National monitoring of police-public contact does not extend below age 16 and few studies have examined associations with adolescent mental health. METHODS: We describe the distribution of police stops in a nationally representative cross-sectional sample of adolescents ages 12 to 18 years in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Child Development Supplement 2002 and 2007 (n=2557). We used survey-weighted race/ethnicity-stratified and ge…
Racial Discrimination, Psychological Distress, and Self-Rated Health Among US-Born and Foreign-Born Black Americans
Our results attest to the salience of racial discrimination, nativity, and socioeconomic position in understanding the experiences and psychological health of Black Americans
Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Monitoring Socioeconomic Gradients in Health
Use of multilevel frameworks and area-based socioeconomic measures (ABSMs) for public health monitoring can potentially overcome the absence of socioeconomic data in most US public health surveillance systems. To assess whether ABSMs can meaningfully be used for diverse race/ethnicity–gender groups, we geocoded and linked public health surveillance data from Massachusetts and Rhode Island to 1990 block group, tract, and zip code ABSMs. Outcomes c…
Painting a Truer Picture of US Socioeconomic and Racial/Ethnic Health Inequalities
Objectives. We describe a method to facilitate routine monitoring of socioeconomic health disparities in the United States. Methods. We analyzed geocoded public health surveillance data including events from birth to death (c. 1990) linked to 1990 census tract (CT) poverty data for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Results. For virtually all outcomes, risk increased with CT poverty, and when we adjusted for CT poverty racial/ethnic disparities were…

The inverse hazard law
Zip Code Caveat
Use of zip codes in US public health research is on the rise. As of February 2002, 230 articles were indexed by zip code in PubMed,1 all published since 1989. Fifty-two of these articles (23%) involved the use of censusderived zip code socioeconomic data (e.g., median household income) to investigate the effects of socioeconomic position on specified health outcomes (article citations are available on request from the authors). To date, discussio…
Racial Disparities in Context
Objectives. We analyzed neighborhood heterogeneity in associations among mortality, race/ethnicity, and area poverty. Methods. We performed a multilevel statistical analysis of Massachusetts all-cause mortality data for the period 1989 through 1991 (n=142836 deaths), modeled as 79813 cells (deaths and denominators cross-tabulated by age, gender, and race/ethnicity) at level 1 nested within 5532 block groups at level 2 within 1307 census tracts (C…
The Unique Impact of Abolition of Jim Crow Laws on Reducing Inequities in Infant Death Rates and Implications for Choice of Comparison Groups in Analyzing Societal Determinants of Health
Objectives. We explored associations between the abolition of Jim Crow laws (i.e., state laws legalizing racial discrimination overturned by the 1964 US Civil Rights Act) and birth cohort trends in infant death rates. Methods. We analyzed 1959 to 2006 US Black and White infant death rates within and across sets of states (polities) with and without Jim Crow laws. Results. Between 1965 and 1969, a unique convergence of Black infant death rates occ…

Temporal Trends and Racial/Ethnic Inequalities for Legal Intervention Injuries Treated in Emergency Departments
Monitoring Socioeconomic Disparities in Death
We compared all-cause mortality rates stratified by individual-level education and by census tract area–based socioeconomic measures for Massachusetts (1999–2001). Among persons aged 25 and older, the age-adjusted relative index of inequality was slightly higher for the census tract than for the individual education measures (1.5 vs 1.2, respectively). Only the census tract socioeconomic measures could provide a relative index of inequality (2–3)…

Covid-19 and Overall Mortality Inequities in the Surge in Death Rates by Zip Code Characteristics
Objectives. To address evidence gaps in COVID-19 mortality inequities resulting from inadequate race/ethnicity data and no socioeconomic data. Methods. We analyzed age-standardized death rates in Massachusetts by weekly time intervals, comparing rates for January 1 to May 19, 2020, with the corresponding historical average for 2015 to 2019 stratified by zip code social metrics. Results. At the surge peak (week 16, April 15–21), mortality rate rat…
Particulate Air Pollution and Socioeconomic Position in Rural and Urban Areas of the Northeastern United States
Objectives. Although differential exposure by socioeconomic position (SEP) to hazardous waste and lead is well demonstrated, there is less evidence for particulate air pollution (PM), which is associated with risk of death and illness. This study determined the relationship of ambient PM and SEP across several spatial scales. Methods. Geographic information system-based, spatio-temporal models were used to predict PM in the Northeastern United St…

Alcohol Availability Across Neighborhoods in Ontario Following Alcohol Sales Deregulation, 2013–2017
Objectives. To examine the association between neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and alcohol availability before and after deregulation in 2015 of the alcohol market in Ontario, Canada. Methods. We quantified alcohol access by number of alcohol outlets and hours of retail for all 19 964 neighborhoods in Ontario. We used mixed effects regression models to examine the associations between alcohol access and a validated SES index between 2013 …
Reproductive Justice and the Pace of Change
US infant death rates for 1960 to 1980 declined most quickly in (1) 1970 to 1973 in states that legalized abortion in 1970, especially for infants in the lowest 3 income quintiles (annual percentage change = −11.6; 95% confidence interval = −18.7, −3.8), and (2) the mid-to-late 1960s, also in low-income quintiles, for both Black and White infants, albeit unrelated to abortion laws. These results imply that research is warranted on whether current…
Occupational, social, and relationship hazards and psychological distress among low-income workers
BACKGROUND: Few studies have simultaneously included exposure information on occupational hazards, relationship hazards (eg, intimate partner violence) and social hazards (eg, poverty and racial discrimination), especially among low-income multiracial/ethnic populations. METHODS: A cross-sectional study (2003-2004) of 1202 workers employed at 14 worksites in the greater Boston area of Massachusetts investigated the independent and joint associati…
Decline in US Breast Cancer Rates After the Women's Health Initiative
Objectives. We investigated whether there were socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in recent reported declines in overall US breast cancer incidence rates attributed to post-2002 declines in hormone therapy use following publication of the Women's Health Initiative study. Methods. We analyzed 1992–2005 US breast cancer incidence data from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result (SEER) 13 Registries Database, stratified by race/et…

Krieger Et Al. Respond
As noted by Caretta et al, researchers should be cognizant of diverse types of spatiotemporal discontinuities that may affect the use of geographically delimited population data. Their letter, while alluding to—but never identifying any—minor factual errors in our brief, gives us an opportunity to address confusion about the use of zip codes (ZCs), zip code tabulation areas (ZCTAs), and census-derived area-based socioeconomic measures (ABSMs). We…
Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Monitoring Socioeconomic Gradients in Health
Use of multilevel frameworks and area-based socioeconomic measures (ABSMs) for public health monitoring can potentially overcome the absence of socioeconomic data in most US public health surveillance systems. To assess whether ABSMs can meaningfully be used for diverse race/ethnicity–gender groups, we geocoded and linked public health surveillance data from Massachusetts and Rhode Island to 1990 block group, tract, and zip code ABSMs. Outcomes c…

The Fall and Rise of US Inequities in Premature Mortality
BACKGROUND: Debates exist as to whether, as overall population health improves, the absolute and relative magnitude of income- and race/ethnicity-related health disparities necessarily increase-or decrease. We accordingly decided to test the hypothesis that health inequities widen-or shrink-in a context of declining mortality rates, by examining annual US mortality data over a 42 year period. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Using US county mortality data f…

Variation in racial/ethnic disparities in Covid-19 mortality by age in the United States
BACKGROUND: In the United States, non-Hispanic Black (NHB), Hispanic, and non-Hispanic American Indian/Alaska Native (NHAIAN) populations experience excess COVID-19 mortality, compared to the non-Hispanic White (NHW) population, but racial/ethnic differences in age at death are not known. The release of national COVID-19 death data by racial/ethnic group now permits analysis of age-specific mortality rates for these groups and the non-Hispanic As…
Home gardening improves dietary diversity, a cluster‐randomized controlled trial among Tanzanian women
Homestead food production (HFP) programmes improve the availability of vegetables by providing training in growing nutrient-dense crops. In rural Tanzania, most foods consumed are carbohydrate-rich staples with low micronutrient concentrations. This cluster-randomized controlled trial investigated whether women growing home gardens have higher dietary diversity, household food security or probability of consuming nutrient-rich food groups than wo…
