Item Open Access Corrigendum to “Overcrowding and COVID-19 mortality across U.S. counties: Are disparities growing over time?” [SSM-Population Health 15 (2021) 100845] (SSM - Population Health (2021) 15, (S2352827321001208), (10.1016/j.ssmph.2021.100845))(SSM - Population Health, 2023-06-01) Kamis, Christina; Stolte, Allison; West, Jessica S; Fishman, Samuel H; Brown, Taylor; Brown, Tyson; Farmer, Heather RThe authors regret that population density was mislabeled in the original text. This variable should be labeled as land area in square miles. This correction applies to Tables 1 and 2, as well as the text within our 3.2.2. Explanatory and control variables section. The authors note that when controlling for population density (calculated as the number of persons per square mile), as opposed to land area in square miles, the results are consistent with those presented in the manuscript. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.Item Open Access Do plans really matter?: Re-assessing the role of adolescent expectations in educational attainment(Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, 2019-05) Fishman, Samuel HItem Open Access Educational Mobility among the Children of Asian American Immigrants(American Journal of Sociology, 2020-09-01) Fishman, Samuel HItem Open Access Maternal Age and Offspring's Educational Attainment(Journal of Marriage and Family, 2018-08) Fishman, Samuel H; Min, StellaItem Open Access Overcrowding and COVID-19 mortality across U.S. counties: Are disparities growing over time?(SSM - population health, 2021-09) Kamis, Christina; Stolte, Allison; West, Jessica S; Fishman, Samuel H; Brown, Taylor; Brown, Tyson; Farmer, Heather RA growing line of research underscores that sociodemographic factors may contribute to disparities in the impact of COVID-19. Further, stages of disease theory suggests that disparities may grow as the pandemic unfolds and more advantaged areas are better able to apply growing knowledge and mitigation strategies. In this paper, we focus on the role of county-level household overcrowding on disparities in COVID-19 mortality in U.S. counties. We examine this relationship across three theoretically important periods of the pandemic from April-October 2020, that mark both separate stages of community knowledge and national mortality levels. We find evidence that the percentage of overcrowded households is a stronger predictor of COVID-19 mortality during later periods of the pandemic. Moreover, despite a relationship between overcrowding and poverty at the county-level, overcrowding plays an independent role in predicting COVID-19 mortality. Our findings underscore that areas disadvantaged by overcrowding may be more vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 and that this vulnerability may lead to changing disparities over time.Item Open Access Smoking and Variation in the Hispanic Paradox: A Comparison of Low Birthweight Across 33 US States(Population Research and Policy Review, 2018-10) Fishman, Samuel H; Morgan, S Philip; Hummer, Robert A
