Neighborhood factors and incident stroke
Research linking adverse neighborhood context with disparities in incident stroke may reflect publication bias for chance associations. We compared results from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS, n = 25,126, aged ≥45 years, 41 % Non-Hispanic Black, 12 % 50 years, 15 % Non-Hispanic Black, 20 % < high school degree, 2004-2022). We estimated Cox models predicting stroke for 44 census tract variables representing de…

Time to treat the climate and nature crisis as one indivisible global health emergency
Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations, political leaders and health professionals to recognize that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental crisis is now so severe as to be a global health emergency. The world is currently responding to the climate crisis and the nature crisis as if they were separate challenges.…

Neighborhood-level Covid vaccination and booster disparities
Examining neighborhood-level factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination and booster rates uncovered significant variation within the large and geographically and demographically diverse state of California. Equity-based approaches to vaccination must ensure a robust consideration of multiple social determinants of health
Racial and sociodemographic predictors of Covid-19 compared with influenza, appendicitis, and all-cause hospitalization
Racial/ethnic and sociodemographic inequities in diagnosed COVID-19 and hospitalization differed from those for diagnosed influenza and other medical conditions, with consistently higher odds among Latine and Spanish-speaking patients. This work highlights the need for disease-specific public health efforts in at-risk communities in addition to structural upstream interventions

A prospective cohort study examining exposure to incarceration and cardiovascular disease (Justice-Involved Individuals Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology – Justice study)
Our study will identify factors associated with CVD risk factor control among people released from incarceration. Our measurement of incarceration-related exposures, psychosocial factors, and clinical measures of cardiovascular risk will allow for identification of unique targets for intervention to modify CVD risk in this vulnerable population
Spatial Justice and Implications for US Health Care
The recognition that where people live matters to their health has deep roots, highlighted in the works of Hippocrates, W. E. B. Du Bois, and in contemporary research on environmental and placebased factors that shape health. Although health systems have come to accept their role in helping change community conditions in support of health, their complex institutional, financial, and sociopolitical considerations can prevent positive change or lea…

Taking Vaccine to Where the Virus Is—Equity and Effectiveness in Coronavirus Vaccinations
The urgency to accelerate vaccinations in the face of the recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic surge and the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants has led many to adopt a simplified age-based prioritization strategy for COVID-19 vaccine allocation. The rationale for this approach is that implementation will be simpler
A descriptive analysis of 2020 California Occupational Safety and Health Administration covid-19-related complaints
COVID-19 mortality has disproportionately affected specific occupations and industries. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) protects the health and safety of workers by setting and enforcing standards for working conditions. Workers may file OSHA complaints about unsafe conditions. Complaints may indicate poor workplace safety during the pandemic. We evaluated COVID-19-related complaints filed with California (Cal)/OSHA betwe…
Excess mortality among Latino people in California during the Covid-19 pandemic
Latino people in the US are experiencing higher excess deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic than any other racial/ethnic group, but it is unclear which sociodemographic subgroups within this diverse population are most affected. Such information is necessary to target policies that prevent further excess mortality and reduce inequities. Using death certificate data for January 1, 2016 through February 29, 2020 and time-series models, we estimated …
Google Street View-Derived Neighborhood Characteristics in California Associated with Coronary Heart Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes
Characteristics of the neighborhood built environment influence health and health behavior. Google Street View (GSV) images may facilitate measures of the neighborhood environment that are meaningful, practical, and adaptable to any geographic boundary. We used GSV images and computer vision to characterize neighborhood environments (green streets, visible utility wires, and dilapidated buildings) and examined cross-sectional associations with ch…

How Hypertension Guidelines Address Social Determinants of Health
BACKGROUND: Patient-level and community-level social and economic conditions impact hypertension risk and control. We examined adult hypertension management guidelines to explore whether and how existing guidelines refer to social care activities. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore how hypertension guidelines reference social care activities. RESEARCH DESIGN: A systematic scoping review of clinical guidelines for adult hyperten…

What Sexual and Gender Minority People Want Researchers to Know About Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questions
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) people—including members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities—are understudied and underrepresented in research. Current sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) questions do not sufficiently engage SGM people, and there is a critical gap in understanding how SOGI questions reduce inclusion and accurate empirical representation. We conducted a qualitative study to answer the quest…
