8 FOCUS: BREAST CANCER SURVIVAL DISPARITIES Nationally, wide gaps in breast cancer survival rates by race persist and may be growing. Not only is this gap significant and persistent it exists despite the availability of effective early detection and treatment therapies that are known to lengthen survival among diverse population groups. Black/African Americans are known to have the shortest survival among all racial groups for most cancers. Nationally, only 68% of Black women diagnosed with breast cancer are alive 10 years post-diagnosis, as compared to 84% of White women.
9 Introduction SEGREGATION AND SURVIVAL Studies have linked measures of segregation with cancer survival. Schootman et al. (2009) found that the percentage of the census tract population of African American race was in combination with tumor grade and stage at diagnosis able to explain why African American women were more likely to develop breast cancer metastases than White women. Russell et al (2011) found a small but significant relationship between neighborhood residential composition and survival in Georgia. Pruitt found segregation to be associated with poorer mortality among both Black and Hispanic women in Texas. Whitman et al. (2012) found that the citywide segregation level was associated with the degree of Black to White disparity in breast cancer mortality rates, among the 25 largest cities in the United States. Potential pathways linking processes and patterns of residential racial segregation to cancer survival include spatial access to quality health care, exposure to stressors that promote cancer progression or hinder recovery through increased production of stress hormones or reduced immune function, and local health behavioral norms. The influence of environmental sources of stress on cancer survival and survival disparities have not been widely examined.
10 SEGREGATION AND HOUSING DISCRIMINATION The Great Migration of brought many African Americans north in search of jobs. Housing availability resulted in African American populations clustering in the central city of Milwaukee. Meanwhile, manufacturing jobs were pulled from the central city with cheap land and low taxes to suburbs. Whites began to move out of the central city to the burgeoning suburban areas and white dominated suburban towns formed. The central city became predominantly non-white. Dis-investment in urban cores ensued and many cities experienced inner city blight. Discriminatory housing policies, including redlining, perpetuated segregation. The Fair Housing Act (1968) and a number of other policies were put in place in order to address inequality. The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (1975) was enacted to collect data and monitor mortgage loan practices.
11 OBJECTIVES 1. Examine breast cancer survival disparities among Hispanic, Non- Hispanic Black, and Non-Hispanic White women in southeastern Wisconsin 2. Develop and test a new method for characterizing spatially continuous patterns of racial bias in mortgage lending, as a measure of institutional racism. 3. Determine whether this new measure of racial bias in mortgage lending, as well as a composite socioeconomic status index, are associated with breast cancer survival.
12 STUDY AREA The study area is defined as the two southeastern Wisconsin metropolitan statistical areas (Milwaukee- Waukesha-West Allis, Racine) The City of Milwaukee is the metropolitan center of this region with approximately 600,000 residents, of whom 39% are non-hispanic Black/African American, 17% are Hispanic/Latino, and 38% are non-hispanic White. The Milwaukee County population experiences lower socioeconomic status than the state population. Milwaukee residents have lower levels of education, higher rates of unemployment, lower median household incomes, higher rates of poverty, and lower home ownership rates. Milwaukee has consistently been called one of the most segregated cities in the United States. Back in time 60 years : America s most segregated city Toronto Star, Jan 25, 2016 Employment Rate Black 58% White 88% Poverty rate Black 39% White 8% Residents living in extreme-poverty neighborhoods Black 32.9% White 1.6% Adult male incarceration rate Black 11.9% White 0.9% Median household income Black $26,036 White $62,100 Average poverty rate of school attended by a student who is Black 78.1% White 24.2% Source: American Civil Liberties Union

22 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic women experience poorer breast cancer survival than White women in southeastern Wisconsin. Racial bias in mortgage lending is associated with breast cancer survival among Black women. The experience of the Hispanic community was not emphasized in this work, but will be examined as research continues, including with a measure that emphasizes the odds of denial of a Hispanic applicant, as compared to a non-hispanic White applicant. Race and ethnicity are complex and socially constructed. There are multiple variables for race in the dataset, for applicant and for co-applicant. More work is needed to examine how the patterns of denial appear when measured using different definitions. Patterns of mortgage denial, including by race, are not static through time or space. Additional work will focus on spatial and temporal patterns of mortgage denial. Milwaukee is a highly segregated metropolitan area, and this preliminary work indicates that patterns of segregation may have public health implications. Future work should be done in other places to confirm these findings, and community engaged approaches should be employed to move these findings toward intervention and population health improvement.
