To better understand the effects of socioeconomic factors on racial disparities in childhood vaccination.
The National Immunization Survey data collected in 1999-2003 among children 19-35 months of age were analyzed using chisquare tests for trends and logistic regression modeling. Statistical significance was based on P<0.05.
When adjusted by mother's education and household income, racial disparities in childhood vaccination were substantially reduced. The adjustment for mother's education reduced the disparity only slightly, but the adjustment for household income had the greater impact.
Research should examine socioeconomic differences across populations to better understand racial disparities in health.
更好地了解社会经济因素对儿童疫苗接种种族差异的影响。
对1999 - 2003年收集的19 - 35个月大儿童的国家免疫调查数据进行分析，采用趋势卡方检验和逻辑回归建模。统计学显著性基于P<0.05。
经母亲教育程度和家庭收入调整后，儿童疫苗接种的种族差异大幅降低。母亲教育程度的调整仅略微降低了差异，但家庭收入的调整影响更大。
研究应考察不同人群的社会经济差异，以更好地理解健康方面的种族差异。
