Warner, T. D., & Swisher, R. R. (2015). Adolescent survival expectations: Variations by race, ethnicity, and nativity. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 56, 478–494.

Abstract: The authors generated a model for assessing differences in expected survival based on the racial, ethnicity, and nativity characters of adolescents enrolled in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Findings suggest that most racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups had lower survival expectation as compared to the responses for expected health outcome among non-Hispanic Whites.
