Though epidemiological studies tend to collect occupational data, focus on occupation-based SES measures has been limited. We describe a method to process and derive occupational status measures and then compare them for application in epidemiological research. Using US Census Bureau\u2019s Industry and Occupational Codes to standardize self-reported baseline occupational and industry data for 1053 Black\/African American participants in the Study of Environment, Lifestyle &amp; Fibroids, we derived 3 established occupational status measures: Hauser Warren Socioeconomic Index (HWSEI), Nam-Powers-Boyd Occupational Status Score (NPBOSS90) and Nakao-Treas Prestige Score (PRENT). All 3 scores range from 0 to 100 where higher scores reflect higher status. Participants averaged in age of 29\u00a0years with 62% employed at baseline, most commonly in Customer Service. Median scores varied across Hauser Warren Socioeconomic Index (30.3), Nam-Powers-Boyd Occupational Status Score (43.2), and PRENT (41.7). The occupational status derivation process contributes to epidemiological methods by providing guidance to those seeking to elucidate the SES-health relationship beyond merely income or education. If education and income are already being collected, PRENT, which does not incorporate these factors, may offer unique insights.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/kwaf275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,9]],"date-time":"2025-12-09T12:53:06Z","timestamp":1765284786000},"page":"1147-1153","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Derivation of three occupational status measures in young Black women: the study of environment, lifestyle, and fibroids"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"195","author":[{"given":"Aarushi","family":"Joshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , CB#7435, 135 Dauer Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7400 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arbor J L","family":"Quist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , CB #7435, 135 Dauer Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7400 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donna D","family":"Baird","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Epidemiology Branch, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH, RTP , Durham, NC ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1879-9327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anissa I","family":"Vines","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , CB #7435, 135 Dauer Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7400 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"Spec No","key":"2026041002364921900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.2307\/2626958","article-title":"Social conditions as fundamental causes of disease","volume":"36","author":"Link","year":"1995","journal-title":"J Health Soc Behav"},{"key":"2026041002364921900_ref2","author":"American Psychological Association","year":"2010"},{"issue":"S1","key":"2026041002364921900_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S186","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2009.166082","article-title":"Socioeconomic disparities in health in the United States: what the patterns tell us","volume":"100","author":"Braveman","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"issue":"4","key":"2026041002364921900_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"407","DOI":"10.1037\/hea0000242","article-title":"Understanding associations among race, socioeconomic status, and health: patterns and prospects","volume":"35","author":"Williams","year":"2016","journal-title":"Health Psychol"},{"issue":"6","key":"2026041002364921900_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"816","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.82.6.816","article-title":"Socioeconomic status and health: how education, income, and occupation contribute to risk factors for cardiovascular disease","volume":"82","author":"Winkleby","year":"1992","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"issue":"9","key":"2026041002364921900_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"804","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.2005.041319","article-title":"Education, income, and occupational class cannot be used interchangeably in social epidemiology.
