  • Sociodemographic Factors influence cultural values comparing european american with korean mothers and children in three settings rural korea urban korea and los angeles
    Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Heejung Park, Blanca Quiroz, Patricia M Greenfield
    Abstract:

    The gross generalization that East is collectivistic and West is individualistic overlooks the within-group variability among East Asians in the current era of social change and globalization. The aim of this study was to disentangle the role of Sociodemographic Factors, ethnic heritage culture, and immigration in shaping the individualistic–collectivistic value orientations of Korean mothers and their fifth-grade children residing in rural Korea, urban Korea, and Koreatown, Los Angeles. A European American sample in Los Angeles provided an approximation of mainstream United States values. In semi-structured interviews, participants’ value orientations were assessed using interpersonal dilemma scenarios in home and school situations. Participants’ household Sociodemographic Factors were the most significant contributor to their home values: Higher maternal education was associated with orientation towards individualism, and three-generation households was associated with orienttion towards collectivism.

  • impact of Sociodemographic Factors hormone receptor status and tumor grade on ethnic differences in tumor stage and size for breast cancer in us women
    American Journal of Epidemiology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Barry A Miller, Benjamin F Hankey, Terry L Thomas
    Abstract:

    The importance of Sociodemographic Factors and tumor biomarkers in explaining ethnic differences in tumor stage and size at diagnosis was investigated in over 106,000 female breast cancer patients reported during 1992-1996 from 11 US population-based cancer registries. Japanese and non-Hispanic White women tended to be diagnosed at an earlier stage, with smaller diameter tumors and with a lower tumor grade than women from seven other ethnic groups. Statistical adjustment for individual- and group-level Sociodemographic Factors produced 50-80% reductions in the odds ratios for distant (vs. localized) stage and larger (vs. <1 cm) tumor size among Black women and Hispanic women. These Factors also helped to account for tumor stage and size variation among most other ethnic groups. Consideration of hormone receptor status and tumor grade had little effect on the ethnic patterns. Although small, elevated odds ratios remained for some groups, our results suggest that Sociodemographic Factors accounted for many of the observed ethnic differences in breast cancer stage and tumor size at the time of diagnosis. Because most of the Sociodemographic variables were aggregate measures, it is possible that residual confounding by socioeconomic position could explain the persistence of slightly elevated odds ratios in some ethnic groups.

  • Impact of Sociodemographic Factors on Racial/Ethnic Differences in Tumor Stage and Size for Cancer of the Female Breast
    2000
    Co-Authors: Barry A Miller
    Abstract:

    Abstract : A population-based, case-control study was conducted to determine the importance of Sociodemographic Factors in explaining racial/ethnic differences in tumorstage and size at the time of diagnosis among women with invasive, primary breast cancer. The study group included 106,607 women newly diagnosed with breast cancer during the years 1992 through 1996 while residing in any of the eleven reporting areas in the United States that comprise the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Descriptive tabulations of the study variables indicated that Japanese and White women tended to be diagnosed at an earlier stage, with smaller diameter tumors, and at a lower tumor grade than other groups. Black and Hispanic women were more likely than other groups to be diagnosed with metastatic disease, with tumors 2 cm or larger in diameter, and with poorly differentiated tumors. In the regression analysis, elevated odds ratios among Black and Hispanic patients for later stage and larger size tumors were reduced by 50% to 60% when Sociodemographic Factors were added to a model already containing age and geographic area. Tumor grade and hormone receptor status only explained a small amount of the excess odds for distant stage disease among Black and Hispanic women, and did not explain any of the racial/ethnic differences in regional stage disease or larger tumor size. In the analysis of tumor size, odds ratios for Black, Hispanic, Filipino, Chinese, and Korean women remained elevated relative to White women after adjustment for Sociodemographic Factors, tumor grade, and hormone receptor status. Japanese women, conversely, had consistently lower odds ratios (relative to White women) for every study outcome.
