Much has been written about the social disparities in incidence and mortality from head and neck cancer, but comparatively, little is understood about how socioeconomic factors affect survival. As a major form of cancer incidence in Europe, it is important to more fully contextualise the social effects on survival from this complex disease. We cond...
Research on rental housing markets in the United States has traditionally relied on national or local housing surveys. Those sources lack temporal and spatial specificity, limiting their use for tracking short-term changes in local markets. As rental housing ads have transitioned to digital spaces, a growing body of literature has utilized web scra...
Background:
Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important factor in cancer survival; however, results are heterogeneous and linked to characteristics of the study population and health care system. This population-based cohort study evaluates the association between individual-level socioeconomic and demographic factors and cancer survival for the fi...
Race and ethnicity are consequential constructs when it comes to exposure to air pollution. Persistent environmental racial/ethnic inequalities call for attention to identifying the factors that maintain them. We examined associations between racial residential segregation and racial/ethnic inequalities in exposure to three types of air pollutants....
The Great Migration and the Civil Rights Movement were two pivotal events experienced by the southern African American population during the 20th Century. Each has received considerable attention by social scientists and historians, and a possible connection between the two phenomena has been speculated. However, no systematic investigation of the...
This study is the first of its kind to utilize longitudinal, nationally representative panel data from the United States to assess the relationship between exposure to air pollution and reports of psychological distress. Using annual-average measures of air pollution in respondents' census blocks of residence we find that over the period 1999–2011...
Research examining racial/ethnic disparities in pollution exposure often relies on cross-sectional data. These analyses are largely insensitive to exposure trends and rarely account for broader contextual dynamics. To provide a more comprehensive assessment of racial-environmental inequality over time, we combine the 1990 to 2009 waves of the Panel...

... Laryngeal carcinoma remains the most common malignant tumor of the upper respiratory tract worldwide as reported by Steuer et al. [1]. Literature reports an incidence of around 5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants but National Cancer Institute's Cancer registry reported 18.3 cases per 100,000 Lithuanian citizens [2]. The most current American Cancer Society estimates for laryngeal cancer in the United States for 2022 are: estimated 12,470 new cases of laryngeal cancer, and predicted 3820 deaths from laryngeal cancer [3]. ...

... This is in contrast to mortality related to relapse, which is likely not impacted by status of living alone, and may thus explain why this was not significant for OS. This finding also corresponds with previous research showing that lack of social connections is associated with poor health, and that socioeconomic status like living alone is highly correlated with greater risk of cancer-related mortality and all major cause of death [30][31][32][33]. ...

... The positive relationship between average PM 2.5 and %NHB population found at the census tract level through quantile regression is consistent with previous findings of disparities in exposure for the NHB population in both nationwide (Miranda et al., 2011;Tessum et al., 2021;Woo et al., 2019); and regional (Bravo et al., 2016;Servadio et al., 2019;Stuart et al., 2009) studies. Our study of Mecklenburg and Wake counties further illustrated the presence of this inequality for the most populated areas of the state, which experience relatively higher levels of air pollution. ...

... Even a judge's perception of air pollution can further increase anxiety as exposure triggers worries about personal health (Lu et al. 2018), which in turn could result in elevated immoral and self-interested violent and nonviolent behavior (Kouchaki and Desai 2015;Barlett and Anderson 2014). For instance, evidence from longitudinal studies shows that air pollution raises reports of psychological distress (Sass et al. 2017), depression (Szyszkowicz et al. 2009), suicide attempts (Szyszkowicz et al. 2010), and actual suicides (Yang et al. 2020). ...

In the US, physical environment and neighbourhoods tend to exhibit the symptoms of, and are shaped by, environmental racism, most widely understood as the disproportionate exposure of communities of colour to environmental hazards 17,18 . ...
