Abstract

Racial and ethnic minorities are often residentially segregated from whites in urban settings, a fact which has important health consequences. Research on the relationship between residential segregation and health outcomes lacks national-level investigation of racial and ethnic minority groups other than African Americans. I use multilevel analyses to examine the associations of residential isolation and clustering with birth weight among Asian, black, and Latino Americans using data from the National Center for Health Statistics' Natality Files and the U.S. Census. Findings indicate that segregation has a negative effect on the likelihood of having a low birth weight baby among Asian Americans, suggesting a possible concentration of social and structural resources in highly-segregated communities. On the contrary, segregation marginally increases the odds of low birth weight among African Americans, but only in the presence of higher poverty rates. Segregation does not affect birth weight among Latino Americans.

摘要

少数民族和种族群体在城市环境中常常与白人隔离居住,这一事实对健康有着重要影响。研究居住隔离与健康结果之间的关系时,除了非洲裔美国人之外,缺乏对其他种族和少数民族群体的全国性调查。我使用多层次分析方法,利用国家卫生统计中心生育档案和美国人口普查数据,研究了居住隔离和聚居对亚裔、黑人和拉丁裔美国人的出生体重的影响。研究结果表明,隔离对亚裔美国人低体重婴儿的可能性有负面影响,这表明在高度隔离的社区中可能集中了社会和结构性资源。相反,隔离略微增加了非裔美国人低体重婴儿的几率,但只有在贫困率较高的情况下才会如此。隔离对拉丁裔美国人的出生体重没有影响。
