尽管过去30年来黑人和妇女的地位有所改善，但死亡率和发病率方面的种族和性别差异仍然存在。利用1974年至2004年的综合社会调查（GSS）数据，作者探讨了种族、性别和社会经济地位在多大程度上汇聚在一起，从而产生自我评估健康的差异。交叉性范式用于指导这项关于健康差异的工作。作者发现，在这30年的时间里，自我评估健康状况的性别差距已经显著缩小。随着时间的推移，黑人妇女报告的健康状况有了显著改善，因此这种差距的缩小尤为明显。然而，即使在2004年，黑人妇女自我评估的健康水平仍然是最低的。事实上，拥有大学学位的黑人女性比白人男性、白人女性和拥有高中文凭的黑人男性的健康状况更差。
Despite improvements in the status of Blacks and women over the past 30 years, racial and gender disparities in mortality and morbidity persist. Using General Social Survey (GSS) data from 1974 to 2004, the authors explore the extent to which race, gender, and socioeconomic status converge to produce differences in self-assessed health. The intersectionality paradigm is used to guide this work on health disparities. The authors find that the gender gap in self-assessed health has narrowed significantly over this 30-year time period. This decreased gap is especially pronounced because of the marked improvement over time in Black women's reports of their health. However, Black women continue to report the lowest levels of self-assessed health even in 2004. In fact, Black women who hold a college degree report worse health than White men, White women, and Black men with a high school diploma.
