本文探讨了黑人政治收益对黑人和白色新生儿死亡率的影响。黑人政治赋权的两个方面，绝对的政治权力和相对的政治权力。该分析调查了美国所有人口至少5万的中心城市，其中10%是黑人。绝对的黑人政治权力并没有影响黑人或白人的新生儿后死亡率。然而，黑人的相对政治权力与黑人新生儿后期死亡率之间存在负相关。黑人政治权力对白色人新生儿死亡率没有显著影响。这些研究结果的医学社会学理论的影响进行了讨论。
This article examines the impact of black political gains on black and white postneonatal mortality. Two dimensions of black political empowerment are examined, absolute political power and relative political power. The analysis examines all U.S. central cities with a population of at least 50,000 residents, 10% of whom are black. Absolute black political power did not influence postneonatal mortality for blacks or whites. However, there is a negative association between relative black political power and the black postneonatal mortality rate. Black political power had no significant effect on white postneonatal mortality. The implications of these findings for medical sociology theory are discussed.
