Heart Failure Hospitalization by Race/Ethnicity, Gender and Age in California
Health inequality in HF persists as hospitalization rates for Blacks remain higher compared with Whites and Hispanics. These findings reinforce the need to determine whether increased access to providers, or implementing proven hypertension and diabetes preventive programs among minorities might reduce subsequent hospitalization for HF in these populations

Community involvement and adolescent mental health
Social development and stress process theories suggest that participation in one's community can function as a protective factor for mental health, especially for youth from socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. However, the effects of community involvement on adolescent mental health could vary across racial/ethnic groups and levels of neighborhood disadvantage. The objectives of this paper are to: (1) examine the effects of various types of co…
Black–White Mortality From HIV in the United States Before and After Introduction of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy in 1996
Objectives. We sought to describe Black–White differences in HIV disease mortality before and after the introduction of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART). Methods. Black–White mortality from HIV is described for the nation as a whole. We performed regression analyses to predict county-level mortality for Black men aged 25–84 years and the corresponding Black:White male mortality ratios (disparities) in 140 counties with reliable Blac…
Race, Gender, and Health Care Service Utilization and Costs among Medicare Elderly with Psychiatric Diagnoses
The findings suggest that race and gender interact to influence service utilization and preventive care, thereby driving up costs of care, for elderly persons with psychiatric diagnoses
Black-White Inequalities in Mortality and Life Expectancy, 1933–1999
OBJECTIVES: Optimistic predictions for the Healthy People 2010 goals of eliminating racial/ethnic disparities in health have been made based on absolute improvements in life expectancy and mortality. This study sought to determine whether there is evidence of relative improvement (a more valid measure of inequality) in life expectancy and mortality, and whether such improvement, if demonstrated, predicts future success in eliminating disparities.…
Does Public and Private Religiosity Have a Moderating Effect on Depression? a Bi-Racial Study of Elders in the American South
Religious activities are shown to correlate with rates of psychological depression symptoms in a sample of 995 African American and white elderly residents of Nashville. The data, collected in face-to-face interviews, included indicators of both public and private religiosity. Levels of religiosity and perceived social support were higher among the African-American respondents than among others, and among female respondents. Separate regression a…

Predictors of depression among the elderly
Depressive symptomatology and correlates of depression were compared in 600 white and 600 black elderly people over a period of 18 months. Overall, factors associated with depression were found to be similar for both groups. They included prior depression; social and medical stressors; poor ego; and social networks that were small, with which contact was infrequent, and from which emotional support was lacking. Implications for intervention are o…
Race, Social Class and Psychological Distress in Rural and Urban Southern Communities
Social support and depression among the black and white elderly
This study of urban elderly persons (age 60+) examines Black/White differences with regard to a set of social support factors, physical health, and ego strength and their relationship t o depression. Data were collected in interviews of community residents of Nashville. The two groups of elderly respondents were very similar relative to age, marital status, education, and income levels. The groups did not differ on the number of medical problems,…
Community satisfaction, life stress, social support, and mental health in rural and urban southern black communities
This study tests for the effects of Black residents' community satisfaction/dissatisfaction, which we see as a surrogate measure of chronic community stress, on their psychological depression in rural and urban areas of Tennessee. The data utilized include responses from 398 rural West Tennessee Black participants interviewed in 1979 and 326 Black residents of Nashville, Tennessee, interviewed in 1980–82. Multiple regression analyses show, as pre…
Urbanicity, race, and psychological distress
Data from random samples of 645 rural White respondents, 398 rural Black respondents, and 700 urban residents of Nashville, Tennessee (375 White, 326 Black participants), are presented that address urbanicity and race differences in depressive symptoms, psychophysiologic symptoms, and general well-being. After demographic controls, significant urban-rural differences were found only on depressive symptoms, with greater distress in rural areas. Bl…
Determinants of psychological depression and coping behaviors of Tennessee farm residents
This is an analysis of the determinants of psychological depression and coping behaviors of Tennessee farm residents. It seeks to fill the gap in knowledge about depression and its etiology and related mental health behaviors in farm populations. In a sample of 134 farm respondents, demographic, medical, life event, personal, and social resource covariates of depressive symptoms are explored, together with various coping behaviors. Symptoms of de…
Chronic Medical problems, coping resources, and depression
This analysis examined chronic medical problems as a risk factor for depressive symptomatology using longitudinal survey data from a sample of rural Tennesseans. Two waves of data (1977 and 1983) were collected on 532 rural Middle-Tennessee residents. An initial investigation found chronic medical problems a powerful predictor of depression. Furthermore, internal and external resources (personal resources and social support) operated as moderatin…
Lay images of mental illness
It is argued that demographic factors alone fail to account for public attitudes toward mental illness. Medical and moral lay images of mental illness provide a knowledge base from which tolerance arises. Path analysis of data obtained from 713 rural Tennessee adults indicated low tolerance among those endorsing either lay image. Demographic background variables exerted no direct effects upon tolerance-these effects were mediated by lay images. C…
Stress-Buffer Properties of Alcohol Consumption

Sex roles and depression among working spouses in the rural south
Two explanations for sex differences in psychiatric impairment (depressive symptomatology) are tested on a rural sample of white respondents drawn from Middle Tennessee. Gove's notions of role strain and role overload and Radloff's ideas concerning learned helplessness are placed in the context of traditional rural values undergoing change. The results reveal that there are no overall sex differences in depressive symptom scores among these respo…
Stress and psychiatric symptoms
The stress-buffering role of social support and personal competence among the rural married
This study examines the possible stress-buffering properties of personal competence and social support with regard to depressive symptoms. The hypothesis examined was that individuals lacking both internal and external resources would manifest higher levels of symptoms as a result of increasing number of life events than would individuals possessing such resources. Further, variation by gender was considered. Data on depressive symptoms (CES-D Sc…

Race, socioeconomic status, and psychiatric impairment
The relationship between race and psychiatric impairment was examined with regard to three measures of psychiatric status. Data on the Health Opinion Survey, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale, and the General Well-Being Schedule collected on a rural Tennessee sample (n = 713) indicated a significant zero-order relationship between race and impairment only for the depression index. No race differences were obtained when control…
Depression in rural communities
This study of 200 adults receiving outpatient services in rural Middle Tennessee was conducted to provide data on the validity of the CES-D as a measure of depressive symptomatology. Specifically, the study sought to determine the CES-D's ability to discriminate between outpatients and a sample of community residents, between patient groups reflecting different diagnostic classifications and levels of problem severity, and based upon such compari…
Psychiatric impairment in rural communities
This household survey of 713 adults residing in nine rural Middle Tennessee counties was conducted to estimate the prevalence of psychiatric impairment in the rural population, to determine which groups in the population are characterized by higher levels of impairment, and to assess the validity of three indices of psychiatric impairment (HOS, CES-D, and GWB). The data indicate that approximately 12% of the rural population may be impaired and t…

Mental health needs and service utilization in a predominantly black community
This study examined social indicators of the Mental Health Demographic Profile System as predictors of both mental health needs and utilization of mental health services in a black community served by a metropolitan CMHC. Over a two-year period, it was found that only four social indicators were significant predictors of the need-utilization relationship in that census tracts that had a higher percentage of nonhusband/wife households, large famil…
