Ripple Effects Mapping
Open AccessEvelyn Vázquez, Isabel Duong et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2025
INTRODUCTION: Community-academic partnerships played an important role in addressing Covid-19-related health disparities in historically marginalised groups such as racial ethnic minorities and low-income and rural communities in the pandemic. Part of the federal response involved establishing regional community academic networks that engaged highly impacted communities in health disparities research. The statewide Share, Trust, Organize, Partner…

Community utilization of a co-created Covid-19 testing program in a US/Mexico border community
Open AccessBreanna Reyes, Breanna J Reyes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024
These findings highlight the success and reach of this culturally responsive and community co-designed COVID-19 testing program, within a Latino/a border community. Future public health interventions should focus on identifying testing barriers and design appropriate strategies to ensure equitable access to resources and testing uptake for all community members

Neighborhood walkability, neighborhood social health, and self-selection among U.S. adults
Open AccessJacob Carson, Terry L Conway et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2023
Neighborhood walkability may promote specific aspects of neighborhood social health, which together are beneficial for physical and mental health. These findings provide additional impetus for enhancing walkability of US communities
Using ethnographic approaches to document, evaluate, and facilitate virtual community-engaged implementation research
Open AccessBorsika A Rabin, Kelli L Cain et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023
We highlight key strategies for documenting and assessing community engagement. Our methods allowed for rich ethnographic data collection that refined our work with community partners. We recommend ongoing trainings, including debriefing sessions and routinely reviewed assessment of data to strengthen meaningful community engagement

The Relation of Perceived and Objective Environment Attributes to Neighborhood Satisfaction
Open AccessSuzanna M Lee, Terry L Conway et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Behavior2017
There is growing evidence that communities can be designed to support physical activity, but it is important to understand whether neighborhood features related to health are also considered satisfactory by residents. The study aimed to determine if there is an association between perceived and objective neighborhood environment variables and neighborhood satisfaction. Adults ( N = 1,726) were recruited from neighborhoods in two regions of the Un…
Access to parks and physical activity

Disparities in pedestrian streetscape environments by income and race/ethnicity
Open AccessChristina M Thornton, Terry L Conway et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2016
Growing evidence suggests that microscale pedestrian environment features, such as sidewalk quality, crosswalks, and neighborhood aesthetics, may affect residents' physical activity. This study examined whether disparities in microscale pedestrian features existed between neighborhoods of differing socioeconomic and racial/ethnic composition. Using the validated Microscale Audit of Pedestrian Streetscapes (MAPS), pedestrian environment features w…
Socioeconomic and race/ethnic disparities in observed park quality
Open AccessJessa K Engelberg, Terry L Conway et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016
Patterns of association of neighborhood race/ethnicity and income with park qualities differed between regions. In the Seattle region, "equitable differences" were found, where lower income neighborhoods had better park quality on average. In the Baltimore region, park quality was more consistently negatively associated with income and race/ethnic diversity, and complex interactions of race/ethnicity by income were detected. These findings emphas…
Caregiving, Transport-Related, and Demographic Correlates of Sedentary Behavior in Older Adults
Open AccessMaya N White, Abby C King et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2015References: 8
This study identified that older adult dog owners and drivers were less sedentary. Both factors may create opportunities for older adults to get out of their homes

Using Accelerometers in Youth Physical Activity Studies
Kelli L Cain, James F Sallis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Physical Activity and…2013
Background: In 2005, investigators convened by the National Cancer Institute recommended development of standardized protocols for accelerometer use and reporting decision rules in articles. A literature review was conducted to document accelerometer methods and decision rule reporting in youth physical activity articles from 2005−2010. Methods: Nine electronic databases identified 273 articles that measured physical activity and/or sedentary beh…
Development, scoring, and reliability of the Microscale Audit of Pedestrian Streetscapes (Maps)
Open AccessRachel A Millstein, Rachel Millstein et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013
MAPS items and subscales predominantly demonstrated moderate to excellent reliability. The subscales and scoring system represent a theoretically based framework for using these complex microscale data and may be applicable to other similar instruments
Sharing good News across the world
Open AccessE Cerin, Terry L Conway et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013
We have proposed country-specific modifications to the original scoring protocol of the NEWS/NEWS-A that enhance inter-country comparability. These modifications have yielded sufficiently equivalent measurement models of the NEWS/NEWS-A. Some inter-country discrepancies remain. These need to be considered when interpreting findings from different countries
