Less Use of Extreme Response Options by Asians to Standardized Care Scenarios May Explain Some Racial/Ethnic Differences in CAHPS Scores
BACKGROUND: Asian Americans (hereafter "Asians") generally report worse experiences with care than non-Latino whites (hereafter "whites"), which may reflect differential use of response scales. Past studies indicate that Asians exhibit lower Extreme Response Tendency (ERT)-they less frequently use responses at extreme ends of the scale than whites. OBJECTIVE: To explore whether lower ERT is observed for Asians than whites in response to standardi…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Medicare Experiences and Immunization
Background: Although Medicare provides beneficiaries with primary access to the health care system, racial/ethnic disparities in health care experiences and preventive care are well documented in the Medicare population. Objective: To investigate disease burden and its possible impact on racial/ethnic health disparities for measures of secondary and tertiary access to health care, such as access to health plan information, obtaining recommended c…
Hispanic Healthcare Disparities
BACKGROUND: Hispanic Americans are often treated as a monolithic ethnic group with a single pattern of healthcare utilization. However, there could be considerable differences within this population. We examine the association between use of healthcare services and Hispanic Americans'country of ancestry or origin, language of interview, and length of time lived in the United States. METHODS: Our data come from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey…
Racial and Ethnic Differences in Access to and Use of Health Care Services, 1977 to 1996
This article focuses on racial and ethnic disparities in health care, describing both absolute differences and relative changes in access to care and the use of health services among whites, blacks, and Hispanics over the past two decades. Using data from a series of three nationally representative medical expenditure surveys, the authors present descriptive statistics on disparities in access and use between minorities and whites over time. They…

Sharing a Home
Trends and determinants of daughter-parent coresidence over the twentieth century are examined by using the 1987-1988 National Survey of Families and Households. Young women from more recent birth cohorts leave their parents’ homes for the first time at earlier ages, but are more likely to make return trips home than those born earlier. Thus cohorts show remarkable consistency in the proportion of life lived in the parental home. For the 1900-192…
The Slowing Metabolism of Marriage
Marital status life tables for the United States, 1988, show a continuing retreat from marriage. For both sexes, the proportion ever marrying declined and the average age at first marriage rose. The 1988 rates imply that 43% of marriages end in divorce. That represents a slight decline from the 1983 figure, and suggests that divorce has peaked at a level below that estimated in earlier analyses
Partner Choice in Marriages and Cohabitations
This paper examines the extent to which cohabitation resembles marriage by comparing patterns of partner choice in the formation of married and cohabiting couples....On the assumption that cohabitations are not informal marriages but relationships formed by a looser bond we use exchange theory to predict differences in partner choice. Since cohabitations are less permanent than marriages we hypothesize that choices of a cohabitation partner give …
Dependency in Urban Black Families Following the Birth of an Adolescent's Child
Correlates of change in short-term economic dependency are explored in households of 307 urban black adolescents, approximately half of whom bring babies into the family. Correlates of increased dependency differ with dependency defined as proportion of household members employed as opposed to dependency. The key explanatory variable with both definitions is the adolescent's employment status. Presence of her baby significantly affects an adolesc…
