  • Associations between historical redlining and BMI

    Open AccessAndrea S Richardson, Tamara Dubowitz et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2026Referencias: 19

    It is unknown whether living in neighborhoods historically rated as "high-risk" mortgage by lenders (i.e., "redlining") defined by maps of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) neighborhood ratings may associate with obesity through neighborhood factors and health behaviors, or how such associations might differ by race and gender. We used data from the 1985-86 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study to test whether ret…

  • Exploring the Lived Experience of Healthcare Discrimination and Resilience among Postpartum African American Women

    Open AccessMelissa Harris, Melissa Neal et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2026Referencias: 64

    African American women are at higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) than women in other racial and ethnic groups in the United States, which can lead to an increased risk of maternal mortality and morbidity. These disparities have been attributed to inequities in social determinants of health. This study explores the experiences of healthcare discrimination and resilience among African American women. From December 2023 to August 2024,…

  • They tossed me up like a ball”

    Open AccessJulia Dickson‐gómez, Julia Dickson-Gómez et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Our study reveals important and substantial gaps in the current healthcare system in Uganda. The main perceived health system challenges were its affordability and 'approachability' among residents of informal settlements. GHIs drain resources from the national health system and neglect coverage for non-priority diseases. We call upon policymakers to re-prioritize and respond to these health system challenges

  • Geographic access to lung cancer screening and environmental lung cancer risk factors in the contiguous United States

    Open AccessChima Anyanwu, Kai Yang et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2025

    Our results suggest that accessibility to LCSF in the U.S. is generally aligned with environmental risk factors for lung cancer, with the exception of micropolitan areas or small cities, where higher PM2.5 areas had lower screening access. It is worth considering how environmental risk factors may be incorporated into lung cancer screening programs

    Open AccessChima Anyanwu, Jean C Bikomeye et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is increasing. Environmental conditions such as heavy metals and air pollution have been linked with the incidence and mortality of chronic diseases such as cancer, as well as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. We aimed to scope the current state of evidence on the impact of environmental conditions on NCDs in SSA. Methods: We conducted a scoping review t…

  • Automatic Removal of Non-Architectural Elements in 3D Models of Historic Buildings with Language Embedded Radiance Fields

    Open AccessAlexander Rusnak, Bryan German Pantoja-Rosero et al.ARTICLEHeritage2024Referencias: 2

    Neural radiance fields have emerged as a dominant paradigm for creating complex 3D environments incorporating synthetic novel views. However, 3D object removal applications utilizing neural radiance fields have lagged behind in effectiveness, particularly when open set queries are necessary for determining the relevant objects. One such application area is in architectural heritage preservation, where the automatic removal of non-architectural ob…

  • The effects of contemporary redlining on the mental health of Black residents

    Open AccessAmber L Pearson, Y Zhou et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2023

    Understanding how structural racism, including institutionalized practices such as redlining, influence persistent inequities in health and neighborhood conditions is still emerging in urban health research. Such research often focuses on historical practices, giving the impression that such practices are a thing of the past. However, mortgage lending bias can be readily detected in contemporary datasets and is an active form of structural racism…

  • Intimate partner violence and antenatal care utilization predictors in Uganda

    Open AccessRonald Anguzu, Rebekah J Walker et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Addressing enabling and healthcare system/environmental factors may increase ANC utilization among Ugandan women experiencing IPV. Prevention and response interventions for IPV should include strategies to increase girls' higher education completion rates, improve women's financial autonomy, and mass media exposure to improve ANC utilization in similar populations in Uganda

  • Persistence of mortgage lending bias in the United States

    Sima Namin, Y Zhou et al.ARTICLEJournal of Race Ethnicity and the…2022

    Housing discrimination and racial segregation have a long history in the United States. The 1930's Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) "residential security maps," recently digitized, have become a popular visualization of Depression era mortgage lending risk patterns across American cities. Numerous housing policies have since been instituted, including the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), but mortgage lending bias persists. The degree to w…

  • Exposure to socioenvironmental stress as a predictor of physical and mental health

    Open AccessMeredith Halling, Sydney C Timmer-Murillo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2022Referencias: 57

    The literature demonstrates links between socioenvironmental characteristics, dysregulation of the stress response system, and PTSD, though few studies integrate these factors in one model. In a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected by the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW), structural equation modeling evaluated the relationships between socioenvironmental stress, cumulative biological risk (CBR), and PTSD symptom severity. …

  • Residential history in cancer research

    Open AccessSima Namin, Y Zhou et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2021

    There is a rise in attention to residential history in cancer epidemiology aimed at more effective estimation of social and physical environmental exposures and the influence of place of residence on cancer outcomes. However, in the United States, as in many other countries, residential history data are not readily available. In this paper we explore the feasibility of using the annual Medicare billing ZIP code history available in the SEER-Medic…

  • Informal workplaces and their comparative effects on the health of street vendors and home-based garment workers in Yangon, Myanmar

    Open AccessThant Ko Ko, Julia Dickson‐gómez et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    While informal employment is universally characterized by lack of social protection, exposure to occupational health and income risks for subpopulations of informal workers is determined by the specific physical and social environments of their workplaces. Efforts to improve the health of informal workers should consider the contexts in which informal work takes place to develop tailored interventions for subpopulations of informal workers
