This paper examines the effect of socioeconomic position on the differences in the 3-year rates (1990 to 1992) of reported cases of gonorrhea and chlamydia between Black and White adolescents, aged 12 to 20 years, residing in San Francisco. The crude relative risks for Blacks were 23.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 20.4, 27.8) for gonorrhea and 9.3 (95% CI = 8.3, 10.3) for chlamydia. Adjusting for poverty and occupational status, the relative risks were 28.7 (95% CI = 22.5, 36.1) for gonorrhea and 8.9 (95% CI = 7.4, 10.6) for chlamydia. This study demonstrates that factors other than poverty and occupational status account for the racial/ethnic differences in the rates of gonorrhea and chlamydia among adolescents in San Francisco.
本文研究了社会经济地位对居住在旧金山的12至20岁黑人和白人青少年之间1990年至1992年三年淋病和衣原体报告病例差异的影响。黑人淋病的粗相对风险为23.4(95%置信区间[CI]=20.4,27.8),衣原体为9.3(95%CI=8.3,10.3)。调整贫困和职业状况后,淋病的相对风险为28.7(95%CI=22.5,36.1),衣原体为8.9(95%CI=7.4,10.6)。本研究表明,除贫困和职业状况外,其他因素也导致了旧金山青少年淋病和衣原体发病率的种族/民族差异。
