The effect of urban racial residential segregation on ovarian cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survival.

Objective: To investigate the effect of racial residential segregation on disparities between Black and White patients in stage at diagnosis, receipt of surgery, and survival.

Methods: Subjects included Black and White patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2005 and 2015 obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Demographic data were obtained from the 2010 decennial census and 2013 American Community Survey.

The effect of historic redlining on firearm violence.

Background: Firearm homicides disproportionately affect young Black men, which in turn have lasting impact of communities of color as a whole. Previous cross-sectional studies have highlighted the role of discriminatory housing policies on the incidence of urban firearm violence. We sought to estimate the effects of racist housing policies on firearm incidence.

The effect of medicare and screening guidelines on colorectal cancer outcomes.

Background: Colorectal cancer screening has been shown effective at reducing stage at presentation, but there is differential uptake of screening based on insurance status. We sought to determine the population-level effect of Medicare and screening guidelines on colorectal screening by race and region.

Methods: Data on Black and white patients with colorectal cancer were obtained from the SEER database.

Historic redlining, social mobility, and firearm violence.

Background: Much of the recorded medical literature focuses on individual-level factors that contribute to firearm violence. Recently, studies have highlighted higher incidence of firearm violence in historically redlined and marginalized areas, but few have gone on to study the downstream associations causing these differences. This study aims to understand the effects of historic redlining and current income mobility on firearm violence.

Socioeconomic Mediation of Racial Segregation in Pancreatic Cancer Treatment and Outcome Disparities.

Objective: To understand the mediating effect of socioeconomic factors on the association between residential segregation and racial disparities in pancreatic cancer (PC).

Background: Black patients with PC present at a later stage and have worse mortality than White patients. These disparities have been explained by the level of residential segregation.

Responsible product design to mitigate excessive gambling: A scoping review and z-curve analysis of replicability.

Objectives: Systematic mapping of evaluations of tools and interventions that are intended to mitigate risks for gambling harm.

Design: Scoping Review and z-curve analysis (which estimates the average replicability of a body of literature).

Search Strategy: We searched 7 databases.
