the role of Socioeconomic Factors in black white disparities in preterm birth
American Journal of Public Health, 2015Co-Authors: Paula Braveman, Catherine Cubbin, Katherine Heck, Susan Egerter, Kristen S. Marchi, Tyan Parker Dominguez, Kathryn R. Fingar, Jay A. Pearson, Michael CurtisAbstract:Objectives. We investigated the role of Socioeconomic Factors in Black–White disparities in preterm birth (PTB).Methods. We used the population-based California Maternal and Infant Health Assessment survey and birth certificate data on 10 400 US-born Black and White California residents who gave birth during 2003 to 2010 to examine rates and relative likelihoods of PTB among Black versus White women, with adjustment for multiple Socioeconomic Factors and covariables.Results. Greater Socioeconomic advantage was generally associated with lower PTB rates among White but not Black women. There were no significant Black–White disparities within the most Socioeconomically disadvantaged subgroups; Black–White disparities were seen only within more advantaged subgroups.Conclusions. Socioeconomic Factors play an important but complex role in PTB disparities. The absence of Black–White disparities in PTB within certain Socioeconomic subgroups, alongside substantial disparities within others, suggests that social fa...

Socioeconomic Factors and health risk behaviors among adolescents.
American journal of health behavior, 2011Co-Authors: Catherine Cubbin, Sara K. Vesely, Paula Braveman, Roy F. OmanAbstract:OBJECTIVES To examine relationships between a wide range of Socioeconomic Factors, race/ethnicity, and adolescent risk behaviors. METHODS The Youth Asset Study (N = 1111) was used to examine multivariate relationships between sexual initiation, alcohol use, tobacco use, and drug use and 8 Socioeconomic Factors. RESULTS Socioeconomic Factors beyond income and parental education (eg, wealth) were associated with some health behaviors depending upon gender. However, we did not find that a wider range of Factors helped us better understand racial/ethnic disparities. CONCLUSIONS Even the more comprehensive set of Socioeconomic Factors considered may not accurately capture the underlying construct of adolescent SES.

Do Socioeconomic Factors Matter in Acreage Owned and Acreage Farmed by Small Livestock Producers in Georgia?
Journal of Agricultural Science, 2020Co-Authors: David Nii O. Tackie, Jannette R. Bartlett, Akua Adu-gyamfi, Nicole I. Nunoo, Bridget J. PerryAbstract:Although Socioeconomic Factors may influence acreage owned and acreage farmed by small producers, limited studies have been conducted on this topic in the Southeastern U.S., such as in Georgia. Therefore, the study ascertained the effect of Socioeconomic Factors on acreage owned and acreage farmed by small livestock producers in Georgia. The data were obtained from a sample of producers, and assessed by using descriptive statistics and ordinal logistic regression analysis. The findings revealed that a majority had farming experience and livestock farming experience of 30 years or less, respectively, 82 and 77%. Corresponding proportions for 20 years or less were 74 and 71%. Additionally, a little less than half (48%) owned over 60 acres of land, and a majority (55%) farmed over 60 acres. The ordinal logistic regression analyses revealed that, of the Socioeconomic Factors, farming status, education, and household income had statistically significant effects on acreage owned and acreage farmed. The findings suggest that Socioeconomic Factors matter in farm size in the study area, and they should be taken into consideration when designing programs for small producers.
