Posted August 25th, 2006 by Tara Murray in Health Disparities, Race & Ethnicity, Rural Sociology, Urban SociologyHealth disparities may be more closely tied to neighborhoods and rural/urban differences than to race, according to a post on Science Blog. The post cites an article about heat wave deaths appearing in the August issue of American Sociological Review (Yahoo! news story) and an article about black mortality rates in Harlem and Pitt County, North Carolina in the August issue of Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved (Health Behavior News Service story).
