Mapping Segregation Patterns of Hospital Care among Patients with Limited English Proficiency
Individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) are disproportionately more likely to experience suboptimal care outcomes compared to English-proficient individuals, attributed to multi-level social determinants of health, including the quality of the hospital where LEP patients are more likely to receive care. Evidence demonstrates that racial minority patients are more often admitted to lower-quality hospitals serving high proportions of min…
Interpersonal- and Community-Level Risk Factors for Adolescent Obesity
A population-based study of the intersection of sexual identity and race/ethnicity on physiological risk factors for CVD among U.S. adults (ages 18–59)
Objectives: Sexual minorities face significant psychosocial stressors (such as discrimination and violence) that impact their health. Several studies indicate that sexual minority women (SMW) and bisexual men may be at highest risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but limited research has examined physiological CVD risk or racial/ethnic differences. This study sought to examine racial/ethnic differences in physiological risk factors for CVD amon…
Sexual Identity Differences in Health Behaviors and Weight Status among Urban High School Students
Although racial/ethnic disparities in childhood obesity are well documented in the United States (U.S.), fewer studies have investigated elevated body mass index (BMI) and related health behaviors among sexual minority youth (SMY; gay/lesbian, bisexual, not sure). We examined pooled data from the 2009-2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys, which included high school students from 12 urban U.S. school districts. We used sex-stratified logistic regressi…
