Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary This repository includes all companion files (syntax, data files, etc.) for the research study, Uncovering Maternal and Child Health Disparities among Middle Eastern and North African Women and Children in the United States, funded by Health Resources and Services Administration. 

PROBLEM: Little attention has been paid to maternal and child health (MCH) research in the Middle Eastern or North African (MENA) population because this group has been clustered under the non-Hispanic (NH) white category, and any differences in MCH among MENA individuals are invisible. This project will address existing and emerging research topics of national significance to the MENA community by using a novel data analytic approach.

GOAL: The goal of this project is to use national data to analyze and compare performance measures among MENA women and children and ultimately improve the health and well-being of this population. Performance measures were compared to NH white, NH black, Hispanic and Asian women and children. Six papers are being developed to fulfill these goals.  

PROPOSED DATA SETS AND TARGET POPULATIONS: This project will use data from 2000-2018 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and 2015-2019 five-year American Community Survey (ACS) publicly available files. Our comprehensive analysis of MENA MCH outcomes includes three samples: 1) women (ages >=18 years); 2) currently pregnant women; and 3) children (ages 0-17 years). NHIS data will be analyzed for Papers 1-6.  ACS will be analyzed for Paper 2 to describe children.
