Geography of the Opioid Crisis
The opioid crisis is a multifaceted, global phenomenon with highly localized, regionalized contexts. While emergent across multiple nations, within the United States and Canada it has reached epidemic proportions, influenced by increased availability of opiates and opioid analgesics as well as limited, varying access to health services and appropriate treatment. Geographic variation of opioid outcomes are associated with social, economic, politic…
Social-spatial network structures among young urban and suburban persons who inject drugs in a large metropolitan area
Distinct residential groups exhibit varying patterns of network interaction, travel behaviors, and geographical contexts related to their risk behaviors. Nonetheless, these groups share common concentrated risk activity spaces in a large outdoor urban drug market area, underscoring the significance of accounting for risk spaces and social networks in addressing syndemics within PWID populations
Creation and Validation of a New Socio-built Environment Index Measure of Opioid Overdose Risk for Use in Both Non-urban and Urban Settings
Conceptualizing the Socio-Built Environment
Individual, interpersonal, and neighborhood measures associated with opioid use stigma
Despite growing awareness of opioid use disorder (OUD), fatal overdoses and downstream health conditions (e.g., hepatitis C and HIV) continue to rise in some populations. Various interrelated structural forces, together with social and economic determinants, contribute to this ongoing crisis; among these, access to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and stigma towards people with OUD remain understudied. We combined data on methadone, bup…
Distilling the Effect of the Great Recession on Food Access in a Segregated City
The Great Recession greatly exacerbated income inequality and might have also magnified unequal access to healthy food in the United States. There is a growing need to examine small-area effects of the Great Recession, especially among minority populations who were disproportionately targeted for predatory loans and experienced higher rates of foreclosure. To explore how the Great Recession interacted with a foodscape locally, a counterfactual qu…
