最近的研究已经考虑了种族/民族居住隔离的作用，因为它涉及到美国的健康和医疗保健结果。在这篇文章中，我采用隔离和城市不平等的关键理论来解释与健康有关的组织的空间分布。使用数据从2010年县商业模式和美国人口普查在一系列的空间回归模型，我研究了各种健康相关的组织在美国各地的分布。我发现，在城市社区的种族/少数民族（黑人，在较小程度上，拉丁美洲人和亚洲人）的浓度和集群与健康相关的组织，包括食品资源，健身设施，医疗保健资源，公民协会和社会服务组织的数量呈负相关。与卫生有关的组织的空间分布有助于解释种族/族裔少数群体隔离与卫生之间更广泛的联系。
Recent research has considered the role of racial/ethnic residential segregation as it relates to health and health care outcomes in the United States. In this article, I employ key theories of segregation and urban inequality to explain the spatial distribution of health-related organizations. Using data from the 2010 County Business Patterns and the U.S. Census in a series of spatial regression models, I examine the distribution of a variety of health-related organizations across the United States. I find that the concentration and clustering of racial/ethnic minorities (blacks and, to a lesser extent, Latinos and Asians) in urban neighborhoods is inversely associated with the number of health-related organizations, including food resources, physical fitness facilities, health care resources, civic associations, and social service organizations. The spatial distribution of health-related organizations could help to explain broader links between racial/ethnic minority segregation and health.
