Social and Economic Well-Being by Race and Hispanic Origin

[Fellows, Jeffrey]

I'm familiar with Pappas's work. I'll will look for the article in my files.
By the way, mortality is much easier to connect to low SES than is
morbidity. But as an additional note to my previous response, it is
important to note that SES not only increases incidence and prevelance of
adverse health conditions, it also is a moderator of the effects.

It was an article by Gregory Pappas et al, which I used in my State of the
USA Atlas, but unfortunately I mangled the reference and the full cite is
missing in the notes. The excerpt I used in the graphic was:

DEATHS OF PEOPLE AGED 24-65 BY INCOME AND RACE

income <$9,000

 --------------
black men   19.5
white men   16.0
black women  7.6
white women  6.5

income >$25,000

 ---------------
black men    3.6
white men    2.4
black women  2.3
white women  1.6
