Neighborhood greenspace and brain imaging outcomes in older adults without dementia from three US Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers
Residential segregation of Black and Latinx older adults and brain imaging outcomes
Living in a 20-min neighborhood and brain health and resilience in older adults: The Healthy Brain Initiative
The 20-min neighborhood (20 MN) concept, aimed at fostering livable communities, has garnered increasing attention among urban planners and policy makers. 20 MNs provide most daily needs (e.g., grocery, parks) within a 20-min walk of home. Among 352 older adults in the Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI), we examined whether 20 MN measures were associated with resilience against future cognitive impairment/dementia measured via the Resilience Index (R…
Summer Heat, Historic Redlining, and Neighborhood Walking among Older Adults: 2017 National Household Travel Survey
Drinking water disparities and aluminum concentrations: Assessing socio-spatial dimensions across an urban landscape
The United States Environmental Protection Agency does not enforce a maximum contaminant level of Aluminum (Al) in treated drinking water and trace amounts are commonly found in household tap water. Al is known to impact the aesthetics of tap water, and research shows that exposure may have adverse impacts on human health. Socioeconomic status (SES) may play a role in Al exposure since some water treatment plants utilize “Alum” as an affordable t…
Gauging Heat Vulnerability in Southeast Florida: A Multimodal Approach Integrating Physical Exposure, Sensitivity, and Adaptive Capacity
Urbanization and warming climate suggest that health impacts from extreme heat will increase in cities, thus locating vulnerable populations is pivotal. However, heat vulnerability indices (HVI) overwhelmingly interpret one model that may be inaccurate or methodologically flawed without considering how results compare with other HVI. Accordingly, this analysis applied a multimodal approach incorporating underrepresented health and adaptability me…
Perceptions of greenspace and social determinants of health across the life course: The Life Course Sociodemographics and Neighborhood Questionnaire (LSNEQ)
Concurrent disasters: Perceived administrative burdens and household coping capacities
Weather‐related disasters during the COVID‐19 pandemic exacerbated the vulnerabilities of individuals and households, and concurrent disasters are becoming more of the norm as we face more extreme weather patterns. This study seeks to extend administrative burden scholarship to better understand the administrative burdens (real and perceived) that a citizen experiences when applying for disaster assistance while facing concurrent disasters. Using…
Establishing a framework of a watershed-wide screening tool to support the development of watershed-based flood protection plans for low-lying coastal communities
Flood risk analysis is the instrument by which floodplain and stormwater utility managers create strategic adaptation plans to reduce the likelihood of flood damages in their communities, but there is a need to develop a screening tool to analyze watersheds and identify areas that should be targeted and prioritized for mitigation measures. The authors developed a screening tool that combines readily available data on topography, groundwater, surf…
Effects of Infrastructure Service Disruptions Following Hurricane Irma: Multilevel Analysis of Postdisaster Recovery Outcomes
Widespread power outages and related critical infrastructure disruptions after major storms can thwart household and community recovery by limiting access to critical facilities and services. In this analysis, we examine the impact of infrastructure disruptions on the individual, household, and community recovery using logistic regressions and multilevel mixed-effects models with a four-level hierarchical structure: household, urban/rural, county…
Neighborhood racial/ethnic segregation and cognitive decline in older adults
Projecting the impacts of a proposed streetcar system on the urban core land redevelopment: The case of Cincinnati, Ohio
