Abstract
ABSTRACT Racial and ethnic disparities in health persist in the United States. Gender health disparities vary by race and ethnicity. Intersectionality theory articulates how gender’s effects differ by one’s other identities and upon the social context. We examined whether neighborhood composition contributed to disparities in self-rated health using individual-level 2010 New York City Community Health Survey data and neighborhood-level U.S. Census data. In multilevel ordered logistic regression, we found a health benefit of white neighborhoods. We found greater gender disparities – men’s health was better than women’s health – in white neighborhoods. Policymakers should consider neighborhood-specific approaches to address gender disparities.
