Causal Mediation of Neighborhood-Level Pediatric Hospitalization Inequities

Population-wide racial inequities in child health outcomes are well documented. Less is known about causal pathways linking inequities and social, economic, and environmental exposures. Here, we sought to estimate the total inequities in population-level hospitalization rates and determine how much...

Here, we sought to estimate the total inequities in population-level hospitalization rates and determine how much is mediated by place-based exposures and community characteristics. We employed a population-wide, neighborhood-level study that included youth
