Exposure–response relationship of household air pollution on body mass index among women in rural areas of Guatemala, India, Peru and Rwanda
Evidence suggests a significant association between CO exposure and increased odds of being overweight/obese, whereas impacts of PM 2.5 and BC on BMI had null or inverse effects
Selecting External Controls for Internal Cases Using Stratification Score Matching Methods
Rare-disease registries can be useful for studying the associations between environmental exposures and disease severity, but often require the addition of a healthy comparison control group. Defining a surrogate control group, matched and balanced on potentially confounding variables, would allow for the comparison of exposure distributions with cases from a registry. In the present study, we assess whether controls selected externally, using st…

Comparing denominator sources for real-time disease incidence modeling
Across the United States public health community in 2020, in the midst of a pandemic and increased concern regarding racial/ethnic health disparities, there is widespread concern about our ability to accurately estimate small-area disease incidence rates due to the absence of a recent census to obtain reliable population denominators. 2010 decennial census data are likely outdated, and intercensal population estimates from the Census Bureau, whic…
Considerations for Improving Reporting and Analysis of Date-Based Covid-19 Surveillance Data by Public Health Agencies
More than a year after the first domestic COVID-19 cases, the United States does not have national standards for COVID-19 surveillance data analysis and public reporting. This has led to dramatic variations in surveillance practices among public health agencies, which analyze and present newly confirmed cases by a wide variety of dates. The choice of which date to use should be guided by a balance between interpretability and epidemiological rele…
A Bayesian Downscaler Model to Estimate Daily PM2.5 Levels in the Conterminous US
There has been growing interest in extending the coverage of ground particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) monitoring networks based on satellite remote sensing data. With broad spatial and temporal coverage, a satellite-based monitoring network has a strong potential to complement the ground monitor system in terms of the spatiotemporal availability of the air quality data. However, most existing calibration models focus…

Effects of Landscape Fragmentation and Climate on Lyme Disease Incidence in the Northeastern United States
Mapping the Spread of Methamphetamine Abuse in California From 1995 to 2008
Objectives. From 1983 to 2008, the incidence of methamphetamine abuse and dependence (MA) presenting at hospitals in California increased 13-fold. We assessed whether this growth could be characterized as a drug epidemic. Methods. We geocoded MA discharges to residential zip codes from 1995 through 2008. We related discharges to population and environmental characteristics using Bayesian Poisson conditional autoregressive models, correcting for s…
Housing Transitions and Low Birth Weight Among Low-Income Women
Objectives. We assessed the longitudinal association between housing transitions and pregnancy outcomes in a sample of public housing residents. Methods. A cohort of 2670 Black women residing in Atlanta, Georgia, housing projects with 1 birth occurring between 1994 and 2007 was created from maternally linked longitudinal birth files and followed for subsequent births. Traditional regression and marginal structural models adjusting for time-varyin…
Spatial-Temporal Analysis of Cancer Risk in Epidemiologic Studies with Residential Histories
Exploring spatial-temporal patterns of disease incidence identifies areas of significantly elevated risk and can lead to discoveries of disease risk factors. One popular way to investigate patterns in risk over space and time is spatial-temporal cluster detection analysis. The identification of significant clusters may lead to etiological hypotheses to explain the pattern of elevated risk and to additional epidemiologic studies to explore these h…

Changes in the spatial pattern of low birth weight in a southern California county
Developing Visual Messages to Support Liquefied Petroleum Gas Use in Intervention Homes in the Household Air Pollution Intervention Network (Hapin) Trial in Rural Guatemala
BACKGROUND: Household air pollution adversely affects human health and the environment, yet more than 40% of the world still depends on solid cooking fuels. The House Air Pollution Intervention Network (HAPIN) randomized controlled trial is assessing the health effects of a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove and 18-month supply of free fuel in 3,200 households in rural Guatemala, India, Peru, and Rwanda. AIMS: We conducted formative research in …
