Conclusions: The database presented indicates that in a total population of 4.4 billion in the countries surveyed worldwide, there are at least 116 million carriers (PiMS and PiMZ) and 3.4 million deficiency allele combinations (PiSS, PiSZ, and PiZZ). Furthermore, this database demonstrates ...
In a novel design, Grogger and Ridgeway (2006) analyzed traf- fic stops in Oakland and showed that the racial distribution of stopped individuals during the day, when a suspect's race is readily apparent, matches the distribution at night, when the "veil of darkness" masks race, and thus ...
Population health science suggests that discrimination — the unfair or prejudicial treatment of individuals based on social markers — is a crucial mechanism that (re)produce systematic inequalities in the daily circumstances and lived experiences that shape the distribution of health and disease [12,13...
Trial estimates were compared with corresponding estimates of representation in the US population with COVID-19.

We present racial stratification as an alternative perspective emphasizing the social construction of race and how race contributes to the unequal distribution of resources.

Pearson’s chi-squared test was used to test differences in the distribution of EODs by self-reported race and ethnicity. Logistic regression was used to model associations of EODs with HFI, maternal physical health, and depressive symptoms. Each type of EODs was modelled separately with each ...
