DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Eliminating health disparities is one of the overarching goals of Healthy People 2010. However, the focus on individual-level differences in socio-economic status and divergent health-behavior profiles have failed to fully account for the health deficits observed in minority groups. The persistency of this unexplained gap has led many to direct their attention towards differences in residential living circumstances as a contributor to racial/ethnic health disparities . Using a life-course approach that considers the socioeconomic history of an individual, we examine the causal effects of urban organization - focusing on racial segregation patterns - on adult health and mortality. We then estimate to what extent segregation contributes to health disparities among race/ethnic groups. Propensity score weighting is used to account for observed heterogeneity and to mitigate the bias due to model misspecification. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the potential effect of an omitted confounding variable on estimates of significant segregation findings.

描述（由申请人提供）：消除健康差异是《2010 年健康人民》的首要目标之一。然而，对社会经济地位的个体差异和不同的健康行为特征的关注未能充分解释少数群体中观察到的健康缺陷。这种无法解释的差距的持续存在导致许多人将注意力转向居住环境的差异，认为这是造成种族/民族健康差异的一个因素。我们采用考虑个人社会经济历史的生命历程方法，研究了城市组织（重点关注种族隔离模式）对成人健康和死亡率的因果影响。然后，我们估计种族隔离在多大程度上导致种族/族裔群体之间的健康差异。倾向得分加权用于解释观察到的异质性并减轻由于模型错误指定而导致的偏差。进行敏感性分析是为了评估遗漏的混杂变量对显着分离结果估计的潜在影响。
