Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Philosophy, Case Western Reserve University, Sociology.
This research study examines how ethnic group membership and economic resources influence health related Quality of Life (HRQOL).While there is little debate that differences exist between Native and White Alaskans in their perceived quality of life, from what is presently known it is difficult to assess whether these differences derive from ethnicity or from SES. This study utilizes the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Study (BRFSS) study to examine SES and ethnic group membership interconnection. One useful strategy to enable a better understanding of the intrinsic role of SES with respect to HRQOL is to compare a socially and economically disadvantaged group to a relatively non-disadvantaged group. Evidence from this research presents surprising results in relation to the connection and interconnection of SES, ethnicity, and HRQOL.
