    Open AccessMatthew J Green, Kemi M Doll et al.ARTICLEHealth Equity2025

    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…

  • Socioeconomic status and colorectal cancer screening behaviors in a vulnerable multiethnic population

    Eduardo J Santiago-Rodríguez, Natalie A Rivadeneira et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2020

    Participants with lower SES characteristics were less likely to adhere to CRC screening guidelines and being retired was a predictor of compliance. There was evidence of heterogeneity in associations between SES and CRC screening by race/ethnicity. Life circumstances of retired people could provide insights for designing interventions aimed to improve CRC screening uptake in these priority groups. Future efforts should consider mechanisms underly…

  • “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby”

    Natalie A Rivadeneira, A NoymerARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology2017

    We analyze lung cancer mortality by age and sex in the United States, 1959-2013. It is already known that male lung cancer death rates exceed those of women and that tobacco use is the leading reason for the sex difference. We elaborate on this knowledge by showing that unlike most causes of death, lung cancer mortality patterns by age are a very good fit to a quadratic-Gompertz model, i.e., log mortality rates are quadratic by age, with the mode…
