An exploratory investigation of geographic disparities of stroke prevalence across census tracts in Health and Human Services Region 3 using geospatial hot spot analysis (Getis-Ord GI∗)
Covid-19 Case, Death, and Vaccination Rate Disparities by Race and Ethnicity in Virginia
A Geographic Weighted Regression Analysis of the Health Opportunity Index and Stroke Prevalence in Health and Human Services Region 3
Although stroke prevalence remains one of the leading causes of death and morbidity in the United States, there is paucity of ecological studies at the census tract level that elucidate geospatial associations between predictors of stroke prevalence in states across U.S. Health and Human Services Region 3 (HHS Region 3: Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia). This study operationalized the Health …
Chi-Squared Automatic Interaction Detection Decision Tree Analysis of Social Determinants for Low Birth Weight in Virginia
This study provides additional context to the literature regarding the social inequities that impact birth outcomes in Virginia using a decision tree analysis. Chi-squared automatic interaction detection data analysis (CHAID) was performed using data from the Virginia birth registry for the years 2015-2019. Birth weight was the outcome variable, while sociodemographic factors and maternity care deserts were the explanatory variables. The prevalen…
The Health Opportunity Index
The Health Opportunity Index (HOI) is a multivariate tool that can be more efficiently used to identify and understand the interplay of complex social determinants of health (SDH) at the census tract level that influences the ability to achieve optimal health. The derivation of the HOI utilizes the data-reduction technique of principal component analysis to determine the impact of SDH on optimal health at lower census geographies. In the midst of…
