  • Validating Pedestrian Infrastructure Data

    Open AccessSajad Askari, Devon Snyder et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2025References: 10

    Data on pedestrian infrastructure is essential for improving the mobility environment and for planning efficiency. Although governmental agencies are responsible for capturing data on pedestrian infrastructure mostly by field audits, most have not completed such audits. In recent years, virtual auditing based on street view imagery (SVI), specifically through geo-crowdsourcing platforms, offers a more inclusive approach to pedestrian movement pla…

  • Performance Metrics for Implementation of Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plans

    Open AccessYochai Eisenberg, Mackenzie Hayes et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2024References: 5

    Safely walking or wheeling in a wheelchair in the community is a civil and human right. Some progress has been made in the US towards making walking/wheeling paths more accessible for people with disabilities through the construction of new curb ramps, fixing sidewalk barriers, and installing accessible pedestrian signals. However, pedestrians with disabilities continue to be limited by infrastructure barriers on sidewalks and streets. To encoura…

  • Planning accessible cities

    Open AccessYochai Eisenberg, Amy Heider et al.ARTICLECities2024Cited by: 1References: 39

    Progress towards development of accessible pedestrian networks for people with disabilities has been slow, perpetuating social exclusion in many cities world-wide. There is increased pressure to develop and implement plans for barrier-removal, such as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) transition plans. Limited research has examined the elements for effectively developing and implementing plans in a comprehensive way that identifies the role o…

  • Redefining Exposure

    Open AccessAmanda L Roy, Ashley R Isaia et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Community…2021References: 33

    Differences in how individuals navigate and interact with physical space have clear implications for when and where they are exposed to environmental characteristics. To address this reality, we propose and test a novel method with a sample of Chicago adolescents that links individual GPS coordinates with locations of environmental characteristics as a strategy to increase precision in the measurement of environmental exposures. We use exposure t…

  • Changing the Paradigm in Public Health and Disability through a Knowledge Translation Center

    Open AccessKerri A Vanderbom, Yochai Eisenberg et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    People with disabilities are a health disparity population that face many barriers to health promotion opportunities in their communities. Inclusion in public health initiatives is a critical approach to address the health disparities that people with disabilities experience. The National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD) is tackling health disparities in the areas of physical activity, healthy nutrition, and healthy wei…

  • Geographic access to dental care varies in Missouri and Wisconsin

    Open AccessKamyar Nasseh, Yochai Eisenberg et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2017

    The Health Resources and Services Administration, which designates dental health professional shortage areas, relies on administrative boundaries to calculate population to dental provider ratios. These boundaries may not reflect actual or "real-time" dental care markets. The methods employed in this paper may give policymakers a template to better determine geographic dentist shortage areas

  • Development of a community health inclusion index

    Open AccessYochai Eisenberg, James H Rimmer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The CHII is the first instrument to operationalize community health inclusion into a comprehensive assessment tool that can be used by public health professionals and community coalitions to examine the critical supports needed for improving healthy, active living among people with disabilities
