<p><em><strong>Note: These datasets are part of our research, which was published in Environmental Science & Technology. </strong></em></p> <p><em>Please cite this paper when you use these datasets:</em></p> <p><strong><em>Yuanhui Zhu, Soe W. Myint, Danica Schaffer-Smith, Daoqin Tong, Yuyu Zhou, Yubin Li, and Rebecca L.

ESI and ETa represent drought and consumptive water use, respectively. Further, disparities of environmental changes over the past two decades in connection with races/ethnicities are explored using Landsat-based LST and ET from 2000 to 2020 across major US Southwest cities in light of global climate changes. We narrow our investigations to the summer months, including June, July, and August, when environmental issues are more pronounced during the day, such as heat-related mortality and morbidity and higher water consumption.</p> <p>This dataset covers major US Southwest cities. The dataset includes social-environmental data at the block level and remotely sensed environmental data. The description for each individual dataset is listed as follows,</p> <p><em><strong>T01(T01_dataset_meta_race_ethnicity_economy_env_southwest.csv)</strong></em>: This dataset provides statistics on race/ethnicity, social economy, and arithmetic mean of environmental variables at the block group level.</p> <p><em><strong>T02</strong></em>: These datasets provide processed environmental data, including Daytime Land Surface Temperature (LST), Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa), and Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) images at 70m resolution.</p> <p><em><strong>T03</strong></em>: These datasets include annual Landsat-based summer LST, and ETa means at 30m resolution from 2000 to 2020. The images of LST and ETa in 2012 are missing because Landsat datasets in 2012 are unavailable. We collected all available Landsat images with cloud cover lower than 75% in the summer from 2000 to 2020 to produce the dataset. The high-resolution (30m) LST and ETa are processed on Google Earth Engine (GEE). There are a total of 8860 scenes (including Landsat 4, 5, 7, and 8) from 2000 to 2020 to cover all major US Southwest urban areas. We also include two sample images of 2020 LST and ETa for demonstration.</p> <p><em><strong>T04</strong></em>: These datasets contain LST and ETa Sen's slope results, which represent the median rate of change of LST and ETa from 2000 to 2020 on an annual basis.</p> <p><em><strong>T05</strong></em>: The boundary of the major US Southwest urban areas</p>
Highlighting health consequences of racial disparities sparks support for action
<p>Racial disparities arise across many vital areas of American life, including employment, health, and interpersonal treatment. For example, 1 in 3 Black children live in poverty (vs. 1 in 9 White children) and on average, Black Americans live 4 fewer years than White Americans. Which disparity is more likely to spark reduction efforts? We find that highlighting disparities in health-related (vs. economic) outcomes spurs greater social media engagement and support for disparity-mitigating policy. Further, reading about racial health disparities elicits greater support for action (e.g., protesting) than economic or belonging-based disparities. This occurs, in part, because people view health disparities as violating morally-sacred values which enhances perceived injustice. This work elucidates which manifestations of racial inequality are most likely to prompt Americans to action.</p>
Covid-19 and Cancer Consortium (CCC19) breast cancer and racial disparities outcomes study
<p><span>Background</span>: Limited information is available for patients with breast cancer (BC) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), especially among underrepresented racial/ethnic populations.</p> <p><span>Methods</span>: This is a COVID-19 and Cancer Consortium (CCC19) registry-based retrospective cohort study of females with active or history of BC and laboratory-confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection diagnosed between March 2020 and June 2021 in the US. Primary outcome was COVID-19 severity measured on a five-level ordinal scale, including none of the following complications, hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, and all-cause mortality. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression model identified characteristics associated with COVID-19 severity.</p> <p><span>Results</span>: 1,383 female patient records with BC and COVID-19 were included in the analysis, the median age was 61 years, and median follow-up was 90 days. Multivariable analysis revealed higher odds of COVID-19 severity for older age (aOR per decade, 1.48 [95% CI, 1.32–1.67]); Black patients (aOR 1.74; 95 CI 1.24–2.45), Asian Americans and Pacific Islander patients (aOR 3.40; 95 CI 1.70–6.79) and Other (aOR 2.97; 95 CI 1.71–5.17) racial/ethnic groups; worse ECOG performance status (ECOG PS ≥2: aOR, 7.78 [95% CI, 4.83–12.5]); pre-existing cardiovascular (aOR, 2.26 [95% CI, 1.63–3.15])/pulmonary comorbidities (aOR, 1.65 [95% CI, 1.20–2.29]); diabetes mellitus (aOR, 2.25 [95% CI, 1.66–3.04]); and active and progressing cancer (aOR, 12.5 [95% CI, 6.89–22.6]). Hispanic ethnicity, timing, and type of anti-cancer therapy modalities were not significantly associated with worse COVID-19 outcomes. The total all-cause mortality and hospitalization rate for the entire cohort were 9% and 37%, respectively; however, it varied according to the BC disease status.</p> <p><span>Conclusions</span>: Using one of the largest registries on cancer and COVID-19, we identified patient- and BC-related factors associated with worse COVID-19 outcomes. After adjusting for baseline characteristics, underrepresented racial/ethnic patients experienced worse outcomes compared to Non-Hispanic White patients.</p>

Systemic racial disparities in funding rates at the National Science Foundation
<p>Concerns about systemic racism at academic and research institutions have increased over the past decade. Here, we investigate data from the National Science Foundation (NSF), a major funder of research in the United States, and find evidence for pervasive racial disparities. In particular, white principal investigators (PIs) are consistently funded at higher rates than most non-white PIs. Funding rates for white PIs have also been increasing relative to annual overall rates with time. Moreover, disparities occur across all disciplinary directorates within the NSF and are greater for research proposals. The distributions of average external review scores also exhibit systematic offsets based on PI race. Similar patterns have been described in other research funding bodies, suggesting that racial disparities are widespread. The prevalence and persistence of these racial disparities in funding have cascading impacts that perpetuate a cumulative advantage to white PIs across all of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.</p>
