When Being Hispanic Isn’t Enough
The term "Hispanic Paradox" refers to research findings that Hispanic immigrants often exhibit better health than more socioeconomically advantaged U.S.-born populations. However, much of this research attributes this epidemiological phenomenon to immigration selectivity and rarely examines (1) whether a Hispanic-specific health advantage persists within immigrant-only populations and (2) how any such advantage is structured by race and sex inequ…

Racial Differences in Perceptions of Air Pollution Health Risk
This article extends environmental risk perception research by exploring how potential health risk from exposure to industrial and vehicular air pollutants, as well as other contextual and socio-demographic factors, influence racial/ethnic differences in air pollution health risk perception. Our study site is the Greater Houston metropolitan area, Texas, USA-a racially/ethnically diverse area facing high levels of exposure to pollutants from both…
Exposure to Flood Hazards in Miami and Houston
Although numerous studies have been conducted on the vulnerability of marginalized groups in the environmental justice (EJ) and hazards fields, analysts have tended to lump people together in broad racial/ethnic categories without regard for substantial within-group heterogeneity. This paper addresses that limitation by examining whether Hispanic immigrants are disproportionately exposed to risks from flood hazards relative to other racial/ethnic…

Research reveals that disasters are disproportionately debilitating for marginalized social groups. Numerous studies have examined racial/ethnic dimensions of disaster vulnerability, but few have focused on Hispanic immigrants. More research on Hispanic immigrants is needed, since they constitute a major component of the Hispanic population—the largest and fastest‐growing minority group in the U.S.—and because they experience distinctive cultural…
