Abstract

Abstract:Recent research in the United States has found a strong negative association between segregation and minority health outcomes. However, few studies have been conducted which examine this relationship in light of the theoretical processes which could produce such an association. Further, the bulk of this literature is focused on the Black case with little attention as to how this may affect other racial/ethnic minority groups. Using the 2011-2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) combined with metropolitan-level data, I examine the relationship between residential segregation and poor self-rated health for the three largest racial/ethnic minority groups in the US (Blacks, Latinos and Asians), with Whites serving as a comparison group. Moreover, I analyze a variety of factors which could account for this association based on theories of segregation, including economic considerations and immigration. Overall, I find a strong association between racial residential segregation and poor self-rated health across all of the three largest racial/ethnic minority groups in the US. However, this association is partially accounted for by economic factors in the case of Black Americans and fully accounted for by immigration in the case of Asian Americans. These results suggest that segregation should be an important consideration in our understanding of minority health disparities.

美国的居住隔离和健康结果:超越黑人和白人
摘要:美国最近的一项研究发现,种族隔离与少数族裔健康状况之间存在很强的负相关。然而,很少有研究根据可能产生这种关联的理论过程来检查这种关系。此外,大部分文献都集中在黑人案例上,很少关注这对其他种族/少数民族群体的影响。利用2011-2012年行为风险因素监测系统(BRFSS)结合大都市层面的数据,我研究了居住隔离与美国三个最大的种族/少数民族群体(黑人,拉丁裔和亚洲人)的不良自我评价健康之间的关系,并将白人作为对照组。此外,我还分析了基于种族隔离理论的各种因素,包括经济因素和移民因素,这些因素可以解释这种联系。总的来说,我发现在美国所有三个最大的种族/少数民族群体中,种族居住隔离和自我评估健康状况不佳之间存在很强的联系。然而,对于美国黑人来说,这种联系部分是由经济因素造成的,而对于亚裔美国人来说,这种联系完全是由移民造成的。这些结果表明,隔离应该是我们理解少数民族健康差异的重要考虑因素。
