Residential segregation has been shown to be associated with health outcomes and health care utilization. We examined the association between racial composition of five physical environments throughout the life course and adequate health literacy among 836 community health center patients in Suffolk County, NY. Respondents who attended a mostly White junior high school or currently lived in a mostly White neighborhood were more likely to have adequate health literacy compared to those educated or living in predominantly minority or diverse environments. This association was independent of the respondent's race, ethnicity, age, education, and country of birth.
居住隔离与健康结果和医疗保健利用有关。我们研究了贯穿一生的五个自然环境的种族构成与纽约州萨福克县 836 名社区卫生中心患者的足够健康素养之间的关联。与那些在少数民族或多元化环境中接受教育或生活的人相比，在白人为主的初中就读或目前居住在白人为主的社区的受访者更有可能具有足够的健康素养。这种关联与受访者的种族、民族、年龄、教育程度和出生国无关。
