Measuring multidimensional structural racism across the lifecourse and its relation to cardiometabolic health
Associations of lifetime cumulative estrogen exposure with lifecourse social exposures, cognitive decline, and dementia risk among postmenopausal White, Black, and Latina women
Cumulative estrogen exposure is socially patterned. We found that lifecourse social factors and estrogen exposure synergistically contribute to women's late-life cognitive health outcomes. Understanding how sex-linked biology and gender-related social forces intertwine is essential for developing interventions to decrease dementia risk among women
Ethno-Racial Differences in Age and Symptom Severity Among Pre-Menopausal Women Commencing Treatment for Benign Gynecological Conditions with a Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine Device
Introduction: Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices (LNG-IUDs) can be effective treatments for benign gynecological conditions, but there may be ethno-racial differences in how patients receive treatment. Methods: Data were from a health care system in the U.S. South (April 2014-September 2019). We identified 783 female patients aged 18-44 years with an LNG-IUD for a benign gynecological condition (455 White, 208 Black, and 120 Hispanic p…
Beyond Bleeding
Objectives: Black patients have the highest mortality rate from endometrial cancer (EC), and yet remain underrepresented in EC research. Thus, currently published symptom patterns may not be comprehensive for this population. The purpose of this study is to analyze symptomatology among Black patients with EC in the Guidelines for Ultrasound in the Detection of Early Endometrial Cancer study and to compare with those undergoing benign hysterectomy…
Mass probation
High community incarceration rates are associated with worse community mental health. However, it remains unknown whether higher rates of probation, a form of criminal legal community supervision, are similarly associated with worse community mental health. Our objective was to evaluate temporal and geographic correlations of county-level probation and mental health rates separately and to assess the association between county-level probation and…
Incorporating Measures of Structural Racism into Population Studies of Reproductive Health in the United States
Mexican households’ food shopping patterns in 2015
Objective: To examine patterns of taxed and untaxed food and beverage shopping across store types after Mexico’s sugary drink and non-essential food taxes, the nutritional quality of these patterns and the socio-economic characteristics associated with them. Design: We performed k -means cluster analyses using households’ percentage of food and beverage purchases from each store type (i.e. convenience stores, traditional shops (e.g. bodegas, tien…
Racial Capitalism Within Public Health—How Occupational Settings Drive Covid-19 Disparities
Epidemiology of the US coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak focuses on individuals’ biology and behaviors, despite centrality of occupational environments in the viral spread. This demonstrates collusion between epidemiology and racial capitalism because it obscures structural influences, absolving industries of responsibility for worker safety. In an empirical example, we analyzed economic implications of race-based metrics widely used i…
Learning from LMICs
Existing prosthetic technologies for people with upper limb amputation are being adopted at moderate rates and unfortunately these devices are often abandoned. The aims of this study were to: 1) understand the current state of satisfaction with upper extremity prostheses, 2) solicit feedback about prosthetic technology and important device design criteria from amputees, clinicians, and device regulators, and 3) compare and contrast these perspect…
Hurricane Charley Exposure and Hazard of Preterm Delivery, Florida 2004
On the Causal Interpretation of Race in Regressions Adjusting for Confounding and Mediating Variables
We consider several possible interpretations of the "effect of race" when regressions are run with race as an exposure variable, controlling also for various confounding and mediating variables. When adjustment is made for socioeconomic status early in a person's life, we discuss under what contexts the regression coefficients for race can be interpreted as corresponding to the extent to which a racial inequality would remain if various socioecon…
