  • Patients with diabetes struggling to afford food and control their HbA1c in food-insecure areas in Bronx, NY

    Open AccessEarle C Chambers, Samantha Levano et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2024

    Objective: To characterise the association between risk of poor glycaemic control and self-reported and area-level food insecurity among adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Design: We performed a retrospective, observational analysis of cross-sectional data routinely collected within a health system. Logistic regressions estimated the association between glycaemic control and the dual effect of self-reported and area-level measures of food insec…

  • Neighborhood Alcohol Outlet Density, Historical Redlining, and Violent Crime in NYC 2014–2018

    Open AccessSean J Haley, Shari J Jardine et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Alcohol outlets tend to cluster in lower income neighborhoods and do so disproportionately in areas with more residents of color. This study explores the association between on- and off-premise alcohol outlet density and history of redlining with violent crime in New York City between 2014 and 2018. Alcohol outlet density was calculated using a spatial accessibility index. Multivariable linear regression models assess associations between the his…

    Objectives. To identify key effects of the pandemic and its economic consequences on menstrual product insecurity with implications for public health practice and policy. Methods. Study participants (n = 1496) were a subset of individuals enrolled in a national (US) prospective cohort study. Three survey waves were included (March‒October 2020). Menstrual product insecurity outcomes were explored with bivariate associations and logistic regressio…

  • Neighborhood social cohesion and viral suppression after HIV diagnosis

    Open AccessEllen W Wiewel, Luisa N Borrell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2021References: 21

    Social cohesion has varying effects on health. We investigated the association of perceived neighborhood social cohesion with HIV viral suppression using individual-level data from the New York City HIV registry and surveillance-based interviews ( n = 92). Suppression was achieved within 12 months of HIV diagnosis by 60 percent of persons perceiving low cohesion and 71 percent of those perceiving high ( p = 0.31). Controlling for demographic and …

  • Healthful and less-healthful foods and drinks from storefront and non-storefront businesses

    Open AccessSean C Lucan, Andrew R Maroko et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: Conceptualisations of ‘food deserts’ (areas lacking healthful food/drink) and ‘food swamps’ (areas overwhelm by less-healthful fare) may be both inaccurate and incomplete. Our objective was to more accurately and completely characterise food/drink availability in urban areas. Design: Cross-sectional assessment of select healthful and less-healthful food/drink offerings from storefront businesses (stores, restaurants) and non-storefront…

  • Brownfields to Greenfields

    Open AccessJuliana Maantay, Andrew R Maroko et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Gentrification is a growing concern in many urban areas, due to the potential for displacement of lower-income and other vulnerable populations. This process can be accelerated when neighborhood "greening" projects are undertaken via governmental or private investor efforts, resulting in a phenomenon termed environmental or "green" gentrification. Vacant land in lower-income areas is often improved by the existing community through the creation o…

  • Research Note—A New Method for Mapping Population and Understanding the Spatial Dynamics of Disease in Urban Areas

    Juliana A Maantay, Juliana Maantay et al.ARTICLEUrban Geography2008Cited by: 8

    Determining an accurate depiction of population distribution for urban areas in order to develop an improved "denominator" is important for the calculation of higher-precision rates in GIS analyses, particularly when exploring the spatial dynamics of disease. Rather than using data aggregated by arbitrary administrative boundaries such as census tracts, we developed the Cadastral-Based Expert Dasymetric System (CEDS), an interpolation method usin…
