Citywide park renovations and changes in perceived stress
Open AccessRachel L Thompson, Katarzyna E Wyka et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
In one of the first and largest studies on park quality improvement and mental health, park renovation near one's home was associated with decreased perceived stress among divorced/separated/widowed adults and middle-aged frequent park users. Frequent users of renovated parks experienced a larger drop in perceived stress than infrequent users, suggesting that high-quality parks may be an important pre-condition to the benefits of frequent park us…

Perceived neighborhood environment walkability and health-related quality of life among predominantly Black and Latino adults in New York City
Open AccessJiaqi Zhu, Hanish Kodali et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023
Among NYC residents living in minoritized neighborhoods, mitigating negative aspects of the neighborhood environment may be more crucial than adding positive features in terms of HR-QoL. Our study points to the need to investigate further the role of the built environment in urban, minoritized communities

Open AccessJavier E Otero Peña, Javier Otero Peña et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021
Physical and social environments of parks and neighborhoods influence park use, but the extent of their relative influence remains unclear. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between the physical and social environment of parks and both observed and self-reported park use in low-income neighborhoods in New York City. We conducted community- ( n = 54 parks) and individual-level ( n = 904 residents) analyses. At the community leve…
The development of adolescent agency and implications for reproductive choice among girls in Zambia
Open AccessKatharine Mccarthy, Katarzyna E Wyka et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2021

Probable Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Lower Respiratory Symptoms Among Rescue/Recovery Workers and Community Members After the 9/11 World Trade Center Attacks—A Longitudinal Mediation Analysis
Katarzyna E Wyka, Katarzyna Wyka et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2020
OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and lower respiratory symptoms (LRS) often coexist among survivors of the September 11, 2001 (9/11) World Trade Center (WTC) attacks. Research in police and nontraditional responders suggests that PTSD mediates the relationship between 9/11 physical exposures and LRS, but not vice versa. We replicated these findings in WTC rescue/recovery workers (R/R workers), extended them to exposed community mem…
