Geocoding and Measurement of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Position: A U.S. Perspective

説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This chapter focuses on conceptual and methodologic issues germane to public health monitoring in the United States.

It argues that data on the socioeconomic characteristics of neighborhoods—whether compositional or contextual—can be useful for describing and monitoring social inequalities in health.</jats:p>
