SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: Slavery Linked to Current U.S. Racial Gaps in Health and Mortality
Source: Science
In 1953, civil rights activist James Baldwin wrote that "people are trapped in history and history is trapped in them"—an observation that would ring all too familiar to researchers studying racial health disparities in the U.S. today. A study published by the National Academies of Science, suggests that slavery may still cast a long shadow on the country's well-being, worsening health outcomes for some Black people more than 150 years after...

Mortality caused by tropical cyclones in the United States
"The human death toll of hurricanes extends well beyond the storm itself, according to a new study. Researchers examined the cascading public health impacts of a hurricane—from increased stress to financial issues paying for healthcare—and found that tropical storms cause 7,000 to 11,000 excess deaths over the 15 years following the event. The researchers found that Black Americans were more than three times as likely to die in the years after the storm than white Americans."

Hey demography/epi friends:
What are your favorite measures of the intensity of mortality in one group or the difference/change in mortality across multiple groups or over time?
Got any cutting-edge innovations (there are a bunch!) or forgotten favorites? I’m compiling a list. I’ve got tons but I want yours!
