“…Further, racial inequalities in terms of health and longevity have also long existed (Braveman, Cubbin, Egerter, Williams, & Pamuk, 2010;Williams, 2012;Williams et al, 2010), and are observed even after accounting for socioeconomic disparities (Braveman, Cubbin, Egerter, Williams, & Pamuk, 2010;Williams et al, 2010). Some research suggests that the intersectionality between race and SES may have less of an impact on self-rated health compared with 30 years ago, but intersectionality effects do persist (Cummings & Jackson, 2008). A noted limitation of this dissertation is that we did not account for the role of race/ethnicity in our analyses.…”
