Disentangling Health Disparities Through National Surveys
The changing social and cultural dimensions of the US population have required innovative methodologies to fully understand the health of diverse communities. Whereas previous small and large-scale community surveys have contributed to our knowledge, national surveys provide novel opportunities to examine health disparities both in health and use of health services. The US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has supported an agenda for…
Weidner and Cain Respond
We appreciate Landsbergis’s comments on our article. We too have emphasized the roles of binge drinking (see, e.g., Collins, chap 9, and Shkolnikov et al, chap 3, in Weidner et al1) and intake of food low in cardioprotective substances (Bobak, chap 22, and Connor et al, chap 23, in Weidner et al1) as potential contributors to the sharp increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD) in many Eastern European countries. Landsbergis is also correct in noti…

The Gender Gap in Heart Disease
Why are men more susceptible to heart disease than women? Traditional risk factors cannot explain the gender gap in coronary heart disease (CHD) or the rapid increase in CHD mortality among middle-aged men in many of the newly independent states of Eastern Europe. However, Eastern European men score higher on stressrelated psychosocial factors than men living in the West. Comparisons between the sexes also reveal differences in psychosocial and b…
Sexual functioning and practices in a multi‐ethnic study of midlife women
This study examined the sexual practices and function of midlife women by ethnicity (African American, Caucasian, Chinese, Hispanic, Japanese) and menopausal status. Sexual behavior was compared in 3,262 women in the baseline cohort of SWAN. Participants were 42 to 52 years old, premenopausal or early perimenopausal, and not hysterectomized or using hormones. Analysis used multivariate proportional odds regression. In our sample, 79% had engaged …
Is there a menopausal syndrome? Menopausal status and symptoms across racial/ethnic groups
Parental Choice of Self-Care for School-Age Children
This paper provides national estimates from the December 1984 Current Population Survey of the number of school-age children who in the past 4 weeks have been in self-care or in the care of a sibling or other person under the age of 14 during non-school hours either before school after school or at night. The paper then a logit model to analyze the choice of self-care for their children by parents who use non-parental care. Preliminary results su…
The Children of Teenage Parents
This article reviews recent studies conducted under the auspices of the Center for Population Research NICHD which attempt to assess the impact of teenage parenthood on children born before their mothers 20th birthdays. The relationship between young maternal age and increased risk of low birthweight babies and perinatal infant mortality noted in earlier studies has been found to be almost entirely due to the quality of prenatal care received by …
