• How race becomes biology: embodiment of social inequality. (2009, background): “A related body of research links a variety of neighborhood conditions to health, independent of individual-level risk factors (Ellen et al., 2001; Sampson et al., 2002; Diez Roux, 2003; Kawachi and Berkman, 2003; Zenk et al., 2005; Cozier et al., 2007; Primack et al., 2007; O’Campo et al., 2008).”
• Race, race-based discrimination, and health outcomes among African Americans. (2007, background): “…the concept of place, particularly social place (e.g., geographic location, local context, neighborhood), has emerged as an important construct in understanding the contributions of discrimination in fostering ill health and health risks (Diez Roux 2002, Ellen et al. 2001, Morenoff & Lynch 2004).”
• Racial Disparities in Health Status and Access to Healthcare: The Continuation of Inequality in the United States Due to Structural Racism (2018, background): “Furthermore, the racially segregated neighborhoods that are predominately African American usually have less economic investment, but they have more stressors such as pollution, noise, overcrowded housing stock, and high rates of crime (Ellen et al. 2001: 393; Diez Roux 2001: 1786).”
• Poverty, Housing Niches, and Health in the United States (2003, background): “Health and other consequences of living in a particular place in turn affect the assets that residents have for moving to better places (Ellen et al., 2001; Leventhal & Brooks-Gunn, 2000).”
• Does Housing Mobility Policy Improve Health? (2004, methodology): “Multilevel research designs are being used to disentangle these effects (Acevedo-Garcia et al. 2003; Ellen et al. 2001; O’Campo 2003; Subramanian, Jones, and Duncan 2003).”
