“…The impact of vaccination on inequalities is likely to be closer to that predicted assuming independent mixing than assuming extreme assortativity. The sociodemographic factors most well documented as being assortative and thus potentially having the highest likelihood of influencing vaccination effectiveness are ethnicity and education (33)(34)(35)55). In high-income countries with growing ethnic diversity, ethnic and religious homogamy has been decreasing in the Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Preventionpast decades (35,75).…”

Cervical cancer inequalities could also increase if the sociodemographic determinants of vaccine uptake and screening are also determinants of sexual behavior (76).…”

“…Sexual mixing can be assortative by a variety of sociodemographic characteristics (notably educational achievement and ethnicity; refs. [33][34][35][36]55), which have been associated with vaccine uptake (19)(20)(21)32) and screening participation (14,56,57). Our model does not stratify individuals according to ethnicity or socioeconomic status, and sexual mixing is defined only by age and sexual activity level.…”

“…If sexual mixing is assortative according to the sociodemographic determinants of vaccine uptake and screening participation (where individuals choose partners with similar characteristics as themselves, e.g., race/ethnicity and education; refs. [33][34][35][36], herd effects and vaccine protection may be restricted to groups with high vaccine uptake and screening participation, increasing inequalities in cervical cancer incidence.…”

Background: Inequalities in cervical cancer may be increased following mass vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) if girls with low vaccine uptake also have low future participation in cervical cancer screening. We evaluated how vaccine uptake distribution affects inequalities in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) incidence between groups with different screening participation.Methods: We used an individual-based transmission dynamic model of HPV infection and disease (HPV-ADVISE). Females were stratified by routine screening frequency. We modeled the impact of vaccination on SCC incidence rate differences (absolute inequality) and incidence rate ratios (relative inequality) between women who have routine screening intervals of <5 years (frequently screened), !5 years (underscreened), and who are never screened. We compared simulations with uniform vaccine uptake with scenarios with unequal vaccine uptake, in which never and underscreened

“…; we can thus ask if there is strong homophily along religious lines, for example (Cheadle & Schwadel, 2012). The data also capture the pattern of ties among demographic groups (Rosenfeld, 2008). Thus, we can ask if ties between Whites and Asians are more likely than ties between Whites and Blacks (Qian, 2002;Qian & Lichter, 2007).…”

Global Network Inference from Ego Network Samples: Testing a Simulation Approach

Network sampling poses a radical idea: that it is possible to measure global network structure without the full population coverage assumed in most network studies. Network sampling is only useful, however, if a researcher can produce accurate global network estimates. This article explores the practicality of making network inference, focusing on the approach introduced in Smith (2012). The method uses sampled ego network data and simulation techniques to make inference about the global features of the true, unknown network. The validity check here includes more difficult scenarios than previous tests, including those that go beyond the initial scope conditions of the method. I examine networks with a skewed degree distribution and surveys that limit the number of social ties a respondent can list. For each network/survey combination, I take a random ego network sample, run the simulation method, and compare the results to the true values (using measures of connectivity and cohesion). I also test the method on local measures of network structure. The results, on the whole, are encouraging. The method produces good estimates even in cases where the degree distribution is skewed and the survey is strongly restricted. I also find that is it better to not truncate the survey if possible. If the survey must be restricted, the researcher would do well to infer the missing data, rather than use the raw data naively.

Endogamy in the U nited S tates

Endogamy is the practice of marrying within one's group in regard to race or ethnicity, education, religion, caste, a certain range of kin, geographic location, or other characteristics. The practice of endogamy in various forms occurs in many places in the world; however, this entry will focus on endogamy primarily in the United States. Although endogamy has previously governed mate selection in the United States, scholars find that the overall practice of endogamy has declined.
