Duplicate of Urban Health Disparities among Black and Latino People
Scientific Questions Being Studied
Globally, more than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas; and urbanization negatively affects the social determinants of health (WHO, 2022). Access to healthy foods and a healthy and safe environment are especially affected by urbanization; and barriers to these necessities facilitate negative mental and physical health outcomes. Environmental hazards and food access barriers disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minority groups in urban areas, especially Black and Latino people. This analysis will utilize the All of Us Research data to analyze how urbanization contributes to health disparities in Black and Latino people who reside in a New York City borough.
Project Purpose(s)
- Population Health
- Social / Behavioral
Scientific Approaches
This study will utilize secondary quantitative data from the All of Us Research dataset. Multiple logistic regression will be used to determine associations between the negative aspects of urbanization and its effect on health outcomes of Black and Latino urbanites. The regression models will be adjusted for race/ethnicity, gender identity, socioeconomic status, and other determinants of health.
Anticipated Findings
It is hypothesized that this study will find that urbanization negatively affects the social determinants of health, specifically food and healthcare access and a safe environment; and thus increases the likelihood of developing Type II diabetes, asthma, obesity, and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. WHO (2022) anticipates that by 2050 more than 68% of the worlds population will live in urban areas. This study will add knowledge about health disparities in already marginalized populations that are most affected by the rate of urban sprawl.
Demographic Categories of Interest
- Race / Ethnicity
- Access to Care
