Abstract: 

This project uses four different data sets that shed additional light on the association between education and health. Collectively, the data sets have two unique features that allow us to examine the social and psychological factors that bind together race, education and health. The features of these data sets provide a systematic assessment of how race shapes the pathways between education and health. To meet our goals, this application has two specific aims: (1) Describe the education and health association; and (2) establish the linkages between education and health.
