Brief Summary: To test the independent and interrelated effects of the neighborhood social environment the neighborhood physical environment and individual risk factors in predicting all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

The study examines how social and physical features of neighborhoods interact with individual factors to influence disparities in health an important but understudied area of research This project will create a rich new database where individuals socioeconomic status SES and health indicators are linked with characteristics of their specific neighborhoods and their subsequent mortality Thus it builds on an important exiting data base to create a contextual-level database with information about mortality

DESIGN NARRATIVE

Few studies have examined how social and physical features of neighborhoods interact with individual factors eg health behaviors and socioeconomic status SES to influence disparities in health The investigators propose to test the independent and interrelated effects of the neighborhood social environment eg neighborhood SES social disorganization Hispanic concentration crime rates neighborhood physical environment eg housing conditions availability of goods and services such as licensed alcohol distributors fast food restaurants grocery stores gun shops educational resources recreational facilities bankinglending institutions and individual risk factors in predicting all-cause and cardiovascular disease CVD mortality in women and men They will conduct a prospective mortality follow-up study of 8847 white non-Hispanic and Hispanic women and men who participated in the Stanford Heart Disease Prevention Program SHDPP also referred to as the Stanford Five-City Project This population-based CVD study included a random sample of women and men aged 25-74 who participated in one of five cross-sectional surveys 1979-1990 and were from four socioeconomically diverse California cities The SHDPP is recognized for its comprehensive and well-standardized survey and physiologic measures that include SES education income occupation CVD risk factors eg smoking high cholesterol and saturated fat psychosocial factors and other health-related measures The investigators propose to match survey data to death records for all-cause and CVD mortality endpoints and link geocoded addresses to census data and archival data for measures of the neighborhood social and physical environment This work would create a new database where individuals SES and health indicators are linked with characteristics of their specific neighborhoods Based on their empirical findings they will identity neighborhoods currently at high and low risk for mortality then conduct focus groups and map neighborhood environments eg social physical and service features to create a geographic information system GIS These two activities will hopefully extend their empirical findings generate new hypotheses and guide the development of their Community Outreach and Education Program COEP The COEP will build on their collaborative partnerships with members of the study cities health advocates and health agencies that serve low SES and medically under served populations With the involvement of these partners they will integrate their empirical findings with knowledge from existing studies and disseminate results via the Internet media targeted mailings and programs offered by the California State and local county health departments in the four study cities
