The influence of negative wealth shock on depressive symptoms and major depressive episode among older adults
A negative wealth shock (i.e., a sudden large loss in wealth) represents a stressful life event that threatens older adults' mental health. This study examines whether a negative wealth shock is associated with both 12-month major depressive episodes and 1-week depressive symptoms over time among older adults, compared to positive wealth without a shock. This study also examines whether baseline net worth moderates the association between a negat…
Social and Environmental Characteristics Associated With Older Drivers’ Use of Non-driving Transportation Modes
Objective: We examined associations between older drivers' social and environmental characteristics and odds of using non-driving transportation modes. Methods: Using 2015 National Health and Aging Trends Study data for community-dwelling drivers ( n = 5102), we estimated logistic regression models of associations between social characteristics, environmental characteristics, and odds of using non-driving transportation modes three years later. R…
Getting Rides From Others As a Coping Mechanism in the Transition to Non-Driving
These findings suggest that getting rides from others plays an important role in the transition to non-driving for older adults. Future research should examine whether other aspects of social networks (e.g., type, quality, and closer proximity) might also be key modifiable coping factors for older adults transitioning to non-driving
Examining Consequences Related to Unmet Care Needs Across the Long-Term Care Continuum
Older adults receiving paid care face significant and consequential gaps in care, particularly in comparison to those in other care arrangements. More attention is needed to determine how paid care arrangements can be improved and/or expanded to meet the needs of the growing number of older adults receiving paid care in the community
Housing Cost Burden and Health Decline Among Low- and Moderate-Income Older Renters
Even in the short term, HCB contributes to health decline in later life. Efforts to promote equity and healthy aging in the community must consider how to best address housing affordability among the growing population of older renters
Black–White Disparities in Moves to Assisted Living and Nursing Homes Among Older Medicare Beneficiaries
Unmeasured factors related to systemic racism (e.g., residential racial segregation, racial discrimination) and/or black-white differences in care preferences might further explain black-white disparities in moves to assisted living and warrant further investigation
Participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and maternal depressive symptoms: Moderation by program perception
Neighborhood SES is particularly important to the cardiovascular health of low SES individuals
Impact of County Disadvantage on Behavior Problems Among US Children With Cognitive Delay
Objectives. We investigated relationships among cognitive delay, community factors, and behavior problems over 2 years in early childhood with a national sample of US families. Methods. Data were from 3 waves of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort (2001–2005; n = 7650). We defined cognitive delay as the lowest 10% of mental scores from the Bayley Short Form–Research Edition, administered at 9 and 24 months. At 24 months, we class…
Racial disparities in health-related quality of life in a cohort of very-low-birth-weight 2- and 3-year-olds with and without asthma
BACKGROUND: Children born very low birth weight (VLBW) are at risk for low health-related quality of life (HRQoL), compared with normal-birth-weight peers, and racial disparities may compound the difference. Asthma is the most pervasive health problem among VLBW children and is also more common among black than white children, partly due to unfavourable environmental exposures. This study explores racial disparities in HRQoL among VLBW children a…
US Opinions on Health Determinants and Social Policy as Health Policy
US Opinions on Health Determinants and Social Policy as Health Policy
To examine what factors the public thinks are important determinants of health and whether social policy is viewed as health policy, we conducted a national telephone survey of 2791 US adults from November 2008 through February 2009. Respondents said that health behaviors and access to health care have very strong effects on health; they were less likely to report a very strong role for other social and economic factors. Respondents who recognize…
Gender Differences in Multiple Underlying Dimensions of Health-related Quality of Life Are Associated with Sociodemographic and Socioeconomic Status
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to examine whether gender differences in summary health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are due to differences in specific dimensions of health, and whether they are explained by sociodemographic and socioeconomic (SES) variation. METHODS: The National Health Measurement Study collected cross-sectional data on a national sample of 3648 black and white noninstitutionalized adults ages 35 to 89 years. Data incl…

Socioeconomic Status and Age Variations in Health-Related Quality of Life: Results From the National Health Measurement Study
Significant improvements in HRQoL at the population level will only be possible if we improve the HRQoL of people at the lowest end of the socioeconomic distribution
Public Responses to Health Disparities: How Group Cues Influence Support for Government Intervention
Objective. To examine whether public support for government intervention to address health disparities varies when disparities are framed in terms of different social groups. Method. A survey experiment was embedded in a public opinion poll of Wisconsin adults. Respondents were randomly assigned to answer questions about either racial, economic, or education disparities in health. Ordered logit regression analyses examine differences across exper…
A Model of Racial Residential History and Its Association With Self-Rated Health and Mortality Among Black and White Adults in the United States
We construct a dynamic racial residential history typology and examine its association with self-rated health and mortality among black and white adults. Data are from a national survey of U.S. adults, combined with census tract data from 1970-1990. Results show that racial disparities in health and mortality are explained by both neighborhood contextual and individual socioeconomic factors. Results suggest that living in an established black nei…
Message Design Strategies to Raise Public Awareness of Social Determinants of Health and Population Health Disparities
Context: Raising public awareness of the importance of social determinants of health (SDH) and health disparities presents formidable communication challenges. Methods: This article reviews three message strategies that could be used to raise awareness of SDH and health disparities: message framing, narratives, and visual imagery. Findings: Although few studies have directly tested message strategies for raising awareness of SDH and health dispar…

Workplace Support, Role Overload, and Job Satisfaction of Direct Care Workers in Assisted Living
This study aims to enhance our understanding of job satisfaction of direct care workers in assisted living facilities. Low job satisfaction is related to high turnover rates and lower quality of care in assisted living. We integrate two theories of job satisfaction to investigate relationships among workplace support, role overload, and job satisfaction. Data are from a survey of 984 direct care workers in 108 assisted living facilities. Results …

Racial Segregation and Health Disparities Between Black and White Older Adults
Although aggregate-level studies demonstrate associations between racial segregation and mortality rates, our multilevel analyses with two national data sets suggest only weak associations between racial segregation and self-rated health. However, socioeconomic status at multiple levels contributes to race disparities in health

Socioeconomic Position and Health: The Independent Contribution of Community Socioeconomic Context
Is living in a relatively poor community bad for your health; is living in a relatively affluent community good for your health; or is it only your own socioeconomic position that matters to your health no matter where you live? This article (a) presents a conceptual model suggesting the basic pathways that may link community socioeconomic context to individual health, (b) reviews recent research that has examined whether the socioeconomic contex…

Community-Level Socioeconomic Status Effects on Adult Health
Do the socioeconomic characteristics of a community affect one's health? This research examines whether the socioeconomic characteristics of communities are associated with the health of community residents, over and above the socio-economic characteristics of individual residents and their families. This is the first study to examine the independent associations between community-level socio-economic status (SES) and individual-level health usin…

SES Differentials in Health by Age and Alternative Indicators of SES
Despite the general persistence and even increase of strong socioeconomic status (SES) differentials in health in the United States, research suggests that SES differentials in health may diminish or become nonexistent at older ages. However, most research has used only limited measures of SES (e.g. education, income), and has not thoroughly investigated intra-elderly age differences in this trend. The current study investigates how SES different…
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Perceptions of Self-Efficacy
Following Bandura's (1982) social-cognitive theory of self-efficacy, Wilson (1996) hypothesizes a relationship between neighborhood-level socioeconomic status and individual-level perceptions of efficacy. This article evaluates this hypothesis and pursues the following research questions: (1) Are the socioeconomic characteristics of individual's neighborhoods related to their level of self-efficacy? and (2) if so, is this relationship simply due …
