Young African-American women tend to live closer to pharmacies than their white counterparts but they face contraceptive access challenges such as more difficult access to condoms (49% vs 85% on the shelf instead of restricted access or n/a) #NICHDImpact #RacialDisparities #Contraception #Neighborhoods

Living in an area with high police presence increases the odds of a premature birth for both Black and white residents. Greater police presence in Black vs white neighborhoods may contribute to the persistent Black-White preterm birth disparity. #NICHDimpact #PrematureBirths #Health #Neighborhoods #Policing #RacialDisparities

Native Americans, on average, die 12-13 years earlier than their white counterparts, with the largest disparities in the northern Great Plains and Rocky Mountain states. The disparity in age at death is in part due to Native Americans dying from diseases at younger ages than white Americans and higher levels of homicide. #NICHDImpact #RockyMountains #GreatPlains #Indigenous #NativeAmericans #Mortality #RacialDisparities

Black, Hispanic, and Asian adults aged <65 years were all more highly vaccinated than White populations of the same ages during most of Minnesota’s Delta and Omicron surges. However, White mortality rates were lower than those of all other groups.

Hispanic/Latinx children less likely to have diagnosed developmental disabilities: Cultural differences in knowledge/understanding of what constitutes a disability or differential treatment within the healthcare system may be the reason.

Between 2002 and 2014, U.S. households reduced sugar-sweetened beverage purchases in both absolute and relative terms—racial/ethnic disparities in total sugar-sweetened beverage purchases narrowed, but income disparity patterns persisted.

Excess deaths due to COVID-19 appear underestimated – inequities are concentrated in counties with high income inequality, low median income, low homeownership, and high percentages of Black residents.

The military's critical role in providing institutional protection from incarceration has eroded for young, undereducated African American men as the military has downsized. Drop in military employment of those with less than a high school education is associated with large increases in incarceration rates

Eligibility for COVID-19 vaccines based solely on age benefit older white populations at the expense of younger Black, Indigenous, Hispanic populations with higher risk of death. Strategies that prioritize high-risk geographic areas for vaccination at all ages better target mortality risk than age-based strategies alone.

Higher level of premature births among black mothers than white linked to socioeconomic factors (mother’s education, marital status, paternity acknowledgment, source of payment for delivery) and hypertension in pregnancy. Birth spacing plays a role for non-first-borns.

Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act has an impact on infant mortality, but the results vary by state. Medicaid expansion may not be closing the Black-white infant mortality gap.

U.S. Hispanic and Black adults faced more job-related exposure to COVID-19 and greater barriers to healthcare, which may explain their disproportionate share of infections and hospitalizations.

Stanford University - Measuring and Mitigating #RacialDisparities in #TaxAudits "Government agencies around the world use data-driven algorithms to allocate #enforcement resources. Even when such #algorithms are formally neutral with respect to protected characteristics like race, there is widespread concern that they can disproportionately burden #vulnerable groups. We study differences in #InternalRevenueService (#IRS) audit rates between #Black and non-Black taxpayers" https://siepr.stanford.edu/publications/measuring-and-mitigating-racial-disparities-tax-audits

Rising deaths from suicide, and drug and alcohol abuse for both Black and white Americans are overwhelmingly driven by increases in drug-related deaths since the late 1990s. Deaths related to alcohol abuse and suicide among both White and black Americans changed during the Great Recession, despite some racial differences across age groups.
