Teen births, income inequality, and social capital: Developing an understanding of the causal pathway
Social capital and violence in the United States, 1974-1993
Ecological Analysis of Teen Birth Rates: Association with Community Income and Income Inequality
Does the state you live in make a difference? Multilevel analysis of self-rated health in the US
State income inequality, household income, and maternal mental and physical health: Cross sectional national survey
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of state income inequality and individual household income with the mental and physical health of women with young children. DESIGN: Cross sectional study. Individual level data (outcomes, income, and other sociodemographic covariates) from a 1991 follow up survey of a birth cohort established in 1988. State level income inequality calculated from the income distribution of each state from 1990 US census. SET…

Social capital and self-rated health: A contextual analysis
OBJECTIVES: Social capital consists of features of social organization--such as trust between citizens, norms of reciprocity, and group membership--that facilitate collective action. This article reports a contextual analysis of social capital and individual self-rated health, with adjustment for individual household income, health behaviors, and other covariates. METHODS: Self-rated health ("Is your overall health excellent, very good, good, fai…
Crime: Social Disorganization and Relative Deprivation
Women's status and the health of women and men: A view from the States
Income distribution, socioeconomic status, and self rated health in the United States: Multilevel analysis
Objective: To determine the effect of inequalities in income within a state on self rated health status while controlling for individual characteristics such as socioeconomic status. Design: Cross sectional multilevel study. Data were collected on income distribution in each of the 50 states in the United States. The Gini coefficient was used to measure statewide inequalities in income. Random probability samples of individuals in each state were…
The role of social capital in the Russian mortality crisis
Social capital, income inequality, and firearm violent crime
Mortality, the Social Environment, Crime and Violence
Starting out from the relationship between income equality and indicators of social cohesion and social trust, this paper explores the social processes which might account for the relationship between greater income equality and lower population mortality rates. We note that: homicide shows an even closer relationship to income inequality than does mortality from all other causes combined; there are several reports that homicide rates are particu…
Socioeconomic determinants of health: Health and social cohesion: why care about income inequality?
Throughout the world, wealth and income are becoming more concentrated. Growing evidence suggests that the distribution of income–in addition to the absolute standard of living enjoyed by the poor–is a key determinant of population health. A large gap between rich people and poor people leads to higher mortality through the breakdown of social cohesion. The recent surge in income inequality in many countries has been accompanied by a marked incre…
Social capital, income inequality, and mortality
OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have demonstrated that income inequality is related to mortality rates. It was hypothesized, in this study, that income inequality is related to reduction in social cohesion and that disinvestment in social capital is in turn associated with increased mortality. METHODS: In this cross-sectional ecologic study based on data from 39 states, social capital was measured by weighted responses to two items from the General So…
The relationship of income inequality to mortality: Does the choice of indicator matter
Income distribution and mortality: Cross sectional ecological study of the Robin Hood index in the United States
Objective : To determine the effect of income inequality as measured by the Robin Hood index and the Gini coefficient on all cause and cause specific mortality in the United States. Design : Cross sectional ecological study. Setting : Households in the United States. Main outcome measures : Disease specific mortality, income, household size, poverty, and smoking rates for each state. Results : The Robin Hood index was positively correlated with t…
MAC Andrew Alcoholism Scale and Repression: Detection of False Negatives, a Failure to Replicate
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) data from 400 male inpatients who met DSM III (American Psychiatric Association, 1980) criteria for substance abuse and dependence and 20 male nonsubstance abusive psychiatric inpatients were evaluated in light of earlier findings by Cernovsky (1985). Cernovsky found that for the MMPI MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale (MAC) false negatives are characterized by higher Repression scale scores than true po…
Youth Employment in Canada: A Comment
In a recent article in this journal entitled 'Youth Employment in Canada: A Misplaced Priority?' (Canadian Public Policy Analyse de Politiques, XII:3:499-506), David K. Foot and Jeanne C. Li used demographic and unemployment data to assess the labour market conditions faced by youths and by the aging baby-boom generation over the 1970s and early 1980s. Their analysis suggests that the labour market problems commonly associated with youth are actu…
