LOINC description : The Adverse Life Events Scale is a self- or proxy-administered, 25-item questionnaire
that reports events experienced during the previous year over which the child had
little or no control. The respondent reviews the list of items and indicates which
events have occurred. It is necessary to extract data for smaller units (e.g., census
tracts) to calculate the Dissimilarity Index for each larger unit. To aid comparability
between studies, the Social Environment Working Group recommends that researchers
set the smaller area to the census tract and the larger area to the metropolitan statistical
area. Additionally, researchers can use the census variables to calculate more basic
diversity scores at the census tract level such as the entropy index. The most common
conceptualization of residential segregation is based on the dimension of evenness
(Taeuber & Taeuber, 1965; White, 1986; Massey & Denton, 1988; Reardon & O'Sullivan,
2004), and the most widely used measure of residential segregation is the Dissimilarity
Index, sometimes referred to as D. This measure is computationally straightforward
to calculate from Census data, and while the index of dissimilarity was originally
applied in a comparison of two different population groups (most often Whites and
Blacks), recent papers have extended this measure to the multiple race/ethnic group
case (Reardon & Firebaugh, 2002), and others have extended the 2 and multigroup measure
by incorporating the spatial dimension using data from adjacent or proximate census
units and weighting accordingly (see White, 1983; Wong, 1993; Reardon & O'Sullivan,
2004; Reardon et al., 2008).;
