The health inequalities were examined by way of binary <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Logistic_regression\" target=\"_blank\">logistic regression<\/a> modeling of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hypertension\" target=\"_blank\">hypertension<\/a> and multinomial logistic regression modeling of self-rated health and self-rated mental health. Educational attainment and household income were investigated as potentially mediating factors using nested models and the <a href=\"http:\/\/fmwww.bc.edu\/RePEc\/bocode\/k\/khb.html\" target=\"_blank\">Karlson-Holm-Breen decomposition technique<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Results:<\/strong> Black respondents were significantly more likely than White respondents to report hypertension, a disparity that was partly attributable to differences in income. White respondents reported the best and Black respondents reported the worst overall self-rated health, a disparity that was entirely attributable to income differences. Respondents who identified as both Black and White were significantly more likely than White respondents to report fair or poor mental health, a disparity that was partly attributable to income differences. After controlling for income, Black respondents were significantly less likely than White respondents to report fair or poor mental health. Educational attainment did not contribute to explaining any of these associations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> Canadians who identify as both Black and White fall between Black Canadians and White Canadians in regards to self-rated overall health, report the worst self-rated mental health of the three populations, and, with White Canadians, are the least likely to report hypertension.
