Youth volunteering and academic outcomes in a nationally representative U.S. sample
Black
The United States has poor birth outcomes, including high rates of infant mortality and substantial racial inequities, compared to other developed nations. However, both overall mortality rates and racial inequities in rates vary across locations, emphasizing the structural forces that shape population health. We used mortality and natality data from the National Vital Statistics System to assess racial inequities in infant mortality rates within…

Associations Between Religiosity and Medical Mistrust
A Review of Community Health Worker Integration in Health Departments
Community health workers (CHWs) are frontline public health workers who bridge the gap between historically marginalized communities, healthcare, and social services. Increasingly, states are developing the CHW workforce by implementing training and certification policies. Health departments (HDs) are primarily responsible for community health through policy implementation and provision of public health services. The two objectives of this study …

Cause-Specific Mortality and Racial Differentials in Life Expectancy, Chicago 2018-2019
Pre-pandemic trends and Black
Background Racial inequities in life expectancy, driven by structural racism, have been documented at the state and county levels; however, less information is available at the city level where local policy change generally happens. Furthermore, an assessment of life expectancy during the decade preceding COVID-19 provides a point of comparison for life expectancy estimates and trends post COVID-19 as cities recover. Methods Using National Vital …
Religious Beliefs About Health and the Body and their Association with Subjective Health
HIV mortality across the 30 largest U.S. cities
BACKGROUND: Despite decreases in overall HIV mortality in the U.S., large racial inequities persist. Most previous analyses of HIV mortality and mortality inequities have utilized national- or state-level data. METHODS: Using vital statistics mortality data and American Community Survey population estimates, we calculated HIV mortality rates and Black:White HIV mortality rate ratios (RR) for the 30 most populous U.S. cities at two time points, 20…
Teaching Health Equity
Almost all students report that they were exposed to new ideas and issues (96.6%), and that the new knowledge and skills were applicable to their future work as physicians (91.7%). Other medical schools may benefit from collaborative models with public health research organizations to complement existing curriculum, opportunities for research, and engagement with marginalized populations
Influenza and Pneumonia Mortality Across the 30 Biggest U.S. Cities
Race, Religious Involvement, and Health
A Community-Driven Probability Survey of Disadvantaged Populations in Chicago
Hyper-local data are especially critical for diverse and segregated cities such as Chicago. Lessons learned can be applied to future community surveys done by hospital systems, health departments, and community advocates to maximize the usefulness of findings
Racial Disparities in Heart Disease Mortality in the 50 Largest U.S. Cities
Worship Attendance and the Disability Process in Community-Dwelling Older Adults
These results suggest that more frequent worship attendance does not contribute to slowing the progress of disability in late life. Future research is needed to better understand the development of the differences in disability associated with worship attendance observed at baseline
Comparing Measures of Racial/Ethnic Discrimination, Coping, and Associations with Health-Related Outcomes in a Diverse Sample
Exploring differences in self-rated health among Blacks, Whites, Mexicans, and Puerto Ricans
Together, these analyses suggest that the single item measure of SRH might not be appropriate for comparing health status across members of different race/ethnic groups. More research is needed to understand what factors influence how an individual perceives his or her health
Religious Beliefs, Diet, and Physical Activity Among Jewish Adolescents
Despite a well-documented connection between religion and mortality, the link between religion and obesity-related outcomes and behaviors has not been adequately studied, particularly among adolescents. This study examines whether self-reported religious beliefs influence decisions about physical activity and diet in a sample of Jewish adolescents (n = 351). The results show that reporting a stronger influence of religious beliefs on health behav…
Specifying the effects of religion on medical helpseeking
Religion
This is one of the first studies to examine these associations in a developing country. Despite cultural differences, the negative relationship between religion and smoking in Mexico corresponds to associations seen in the United States and other Western countries. This type of information may be useful to health researchers, providers, and policy makers attempting to reduce deaths due to preventable causes
Using Religious Services to Improve Health
Religious organizations should continue providing out-reach and increasing accessibility for individuals with disabling conditions. In addition, health care professionals should be aware of the importance of religious services to individuals with MS and do their part to facilitate participation for those who desire it
Predictors of Preventive Health Care Use Among Middle-aged and Older Adults in Mexico
Does Religion Influence Patient Satisfaction
Religious Attendance, Health Maintenance Beliefs, and Mammography Utilization
Preventive health services, such as mammography, play an increasingly important role in maintaining women's health. Social factors, such as religion, may influence utilization rates by expanding access, offering information, and increasing motivation. The current study examines the relationship between religious involvement, religious beliefs, and mammography usage in a nationally representative sample of Presbyterian women (N= 1,070). We use mul…
Self-reported health and adult mortality risk
Religion and preventative health care utilization among the elderly
Religion and Functional Health Among the Elderly
Objectives: Religion significantly influences a variety of health outcomes, especially among the elderly. Fewstudies have examined howthe relationship may differ by age within this age group. It is possible that increasing levels of religiosity within the elderly, or other age-related differences, may strengthen the influence of religion on functional limitations. Method: This study used the Assets and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old Survey,…
Age-Related Declines in Activity Level
The study finds some evidence to support the idea that older adults withdraw from social activities such as religious involvement when faced with declining health. In contrast, levels of religious media use remain stable following the onset of one or more new chronic conditions
