title: Population-Attributable Risk Percentages for Racialized Risk Environments.
abstract: Research about relationships between place characteristics and racial/ethnic inequities in health has largely ignored conceptual advances about race and place within the discipline of geography. Research has also almost exclusively quantified these relationships using effect estimates (e.g., odds ratios), statistics that fail to adequately capture the full impact of place characteristics on inequities and thus undermine our ability to translate research into action. We draw on geography to further develop the concept of "racialized risk environments," and we argue for the routine calculation of race/ethnicity-specific population-attributable risk percentages.
