Comparing Predictive Power of Area-Level Socioeconomic Status Indices Across Health Outcomes and Geographic Levels
BACKGROUND: Many researchers want to control for both individual-level demographic/health variables and area-level socioeconomic status (area-SES) when studying health outcomes. However, comparative assessments of area-SES indices across geographic levels and a range of health outcomes are scarce. OBJECTIVES: Compare predictive power for 3 commonly used area-SES indices: the Graham Social Deprivation Index (SDI), the Area Deprivation Index (ADI),…
Examining the Examiners
This study describes differences in medicolegal death investigators’ written descriptions for people who died by homicide, suicide, or accident. We evaluated 17 years of death descriptions from a midsized metropolitan midwestern county in the United States to assess how death investigators psychologically respond to different manners of death (N = 10,408 cases). Automated text analyses suggest investigators describe accidental deaths with more im…
Targeting Equity in Covid-19 Vaccinations Using the “Evaluating Vulnerability and Equity” (EVE) Model
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted racial and ethnic disparities, most recently in vaccine administration. The EVE (Evaluating Vulnerability and Equity) Model combines a community’s vulnerability with vaccination rates to enhance the equity of vaccine distribution in an intentional, targeted manner. When applied to Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, two extreme categories of vaccination status were identified to aid in resource allocation and messag…
