Abstract

Purpose of Review

Segregation has traditionally been measured at the metropolitan area or county level, but a growing number of population health studies have measured segregation at the neighborhood or local level. In this review, we highlight the ways local racial and ethnic residential segregation has been measured in recently published population health studies (June 1, 2019–June 30, 2022).

Recent Findings

We identified 40 local segregation studies based on our search criteria. The majority used racial or ethnic composition to measure segregation, but several additional measures were identified that reflect different dimensions of segregation and the segregation process.

Summary

The choice of how best to operationalize segregation should be guided by the historical and geographic context surrounding the population under study. Our findings highlight several options available to support the development of meaningful and useful measures of segregation to study their impact on health inequities across a diverse range of outcomes and settings.

人口健康研究中衡量当地种族和民族居住隔离的现行方法
传统上,隔离是在大都市区或县一级测量的,但越来越多的人口健康研究在社区或地方一级测量了隔离。在这篇综述中,我们重点介绍了最近发表的人口健康研究(2019年6月1日至2022年6月30日)中测量当地种族和民族居住隔离的方法。最近的发现根据我们的搜索标准,我们确定了40个地方隔离研究。大多数人使用种族或民族构成来衡量种族隔离,但还发现了一些反映种族隔离和种族隔离过程的不同方面的额外措施。如何最好地实施隔离应以所研究人口的历史和地理背景为指导。我们的研究结果强调了几种可用的选择,以支持制定有意义和有用的隔离措施,以研究它们在各种结果和环境中对卫生不平等的影响。
