Understanding Present-Day Racialized Inequities in Urban Heat
Relationships Between Extreme Ambient Temperatures, Neighborhood Structural Deprivation, and Fatal Police Violence
Police violence is increasingly recognized as a public health crisis, disproportionately affecting Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color due to long-standing patterns of racialized surveillance and disinvestment. Environmental stressors such as heat have also been linked to increased aggression, stress reactivity, and violence, suggesting that as climate change drives more frequent and intense extremes in temperature, these conditions…

Racial Inequities in the Control of Hypertension and the Explanatory Role of Residential Segregation
Inequality and income segregation in Brazilian cities
Residential segregation has brought significant challenges to cities worldwide and has important implications for health. This study aimed to assess income segregation in the 152 largest Brazilian cities in the SALURBAL Project. We identify specific socioeconomic characteristics related to residential segregation by income using the Brazilian demographic census of 2010 and calculated the income dissimilarity index (IDI) at the census tract level …
Spatial inequalities of retail food stores may determine availability of healthful food choices in a Brazilian metropolis
Objective: To examine the association between economic residential segregation and food environment. Design: Ecological: Food stores categorised according to the NOVA classification were geocoded, and absolute availability was calculated for each neighbourhood. Segregation was measured using local G i * statistic, a measure of the sd between the economic composition of a neighbourhood (the proportion of heads of households in neighbourhoods earn …
Associations Between Historical Redlining and Present-Day Heat Vulnerability Housing and Land Cover Characteristics in Philadelphia, PA
Tracking Covid-19 Inequities Across Jurisdictions Represented in the Big Cities Health Coalition (BCHC)
Objectives. To describe the creation of an interactive dashboard to advance the understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic from an equity and urban health perspective across 30 large US cities that are members of the Big Cities Health Coalition (BCHC). Methods. We leveraged the Drexel‒BCHC partnership to define the objectives and audience for the dashboard and developed an equity framework to conceptualize COVID-19 inequities across social groups, ne…
Inequities in spatial accessibility to Covid-19 testing in 30 large US cities
Testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection has been a key strategy to mitigate and control the COVID-19 pandemic. Wide spatial and racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 outcomes have emerged in US cities. Previous research has highlighted the role of unequal access to testing as a potential driver of these disparities. We described inequities in spatial accessibility to COVID-19 testing locations in 30 large US cities. We used location data from Castlight …
Urban income segregation and homicides
This paper investigates the associations of income segregation with homicide mortality across 152 cities in Brazil. Despite GDP increases, an important proportion of the Brazilian population experiences poverty and extreme poverty. Segregation refers to the way that different groups are located in space based on their socioeconomic status, with groups defined based on education, unemployment, race, age, or income levels. As a measure of segregati…
The role of perceived discrimination in predicting changes in health behaviours among African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study
BACKGROUND: This study examined whether perceived discrimination was associated with health behaviours over time and whether associations of discrimination with behaviours varied by attribution of discrimination. METHODS: Multinomial logistic regression was used to estimate ORs and CIs for the associations of discrimination (everyday, lifetime, stress from lifetime discrimination) with health behaviours (cigarette smoking, alcohol use) over time …
Disparities in food consumption between economically segregated urban neighbourhoods
Objective: To examine associations between economic residential segregation and prevalence of healthy and unhealthy eating markers. Design: Cross-sectional. A stratified sample was selected in a three-stage process. Prevalence of eating markers and their 95 % CI were estimated according to economic residential segregation: high (most segregated); medium (integrated) and low (less segregated or integrated). Segregation was measured at the census t…

Neighborhood Disadvantage, Poor Social Conditions, and Cardiovascular Disease Incidence Among African American Adults in the Jackson Heart Study
Objectives. To examine the impact of neighborhood conditions resulting from racial residential segregation on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in a socioeconomically diverse African American sample. Methods. The study included 4096 African American women (n = 2652) and men (n = 1444) aged 21 to 93 years from the Jackson Heart Study (Jackson, Mississippi; 2000–2011). We assessed neighborhood disadvantage with a composite measure of 8 indicators f…
