Knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to spatial repellent for mosquito control and malaria risk perception in East Sumba, Indonesia
While progress has been made in combating the global burden of malaria, Sumba Island, Indonesia, has trailed much of the country and region in reducing malaria infections. The study aimed to investigate local knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to mosquito control and malaria prevention in East Sumba Island, Indonesia. Primary data were collected from a cross-sectional household survey (n = 757) conducted across six subdistricts on East S…
Vulnerability to heat exposure
Delineating Health Enumeration Areas in Florida
Consideration of the spatial dimensions of health is often necessary for small area health investigations. This study introduces a novel approach to neighborhood delineation by designing geographic units defined by similarity in both behavioral and social determinants of health alongside criteria to ensure the robustness of health metrics (≥ 1000 individuals, ≥ 50 deaths). To create the Health Enumeration Areas (HEA), we first aggregate individua…
Understanding heat-driven health risks
As climate change intensifies, heat-related health risks are expected to increase, arising from complex interactions between environmental and social factors. Although prior research has primarily focused on the effects of extreme heat events on heat-related illnesses, the cumulative impact of prolonged summer heat on all-cause hospitalization trends, as well as its spatiotemporal interactions with key heat-risk factors, remains insufficiently un…
Respiratory and Cardiovascular Medical Emergency Calls Related to Indoor Heat Exposure through a Case–Control Study in New York City
Evaluating small area differential privacy life expectancy
The decennial census offers high‐quality geographic and demographic information to various stakeholders. Differential privacy (DP) refers to the process of introducing random error into public facing data products such as the decennial census. Studies suggest DP may statistically bias health indicators. This study evaluates neighborhood‐level (census tract) life expectancy (LE), highlighting the potential trade‐offs between privacy‐preserving met…
Locating Neighborhood Displacement Risks to Climate Gentrification Pressures in Three Coastal Counties in Florida
Residential displacement as a result of climate change impacts will manifest on varied temporal and spatial scales affecting both coastal and inland communities. As coastal residents contend with more frequent shocks and stress from sea-level rise, many will eventually need to abandon their homes and property. Inland communities consisting of socioeconomically vulnerable populations with less exposure to climate change impacts will presumably be …
Spatial disparities in air conditioning ownership in Florida, United States
This study emphasizes the critical role of air conditioning (AC) in preventing heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. The challenge of limited geographic coverage and outdated AC availability data hampers effective heat risk mapping and prevention efforts. We identified areas with significant AC needs and examined factors related to AC ownership in Florida, U.S. Local Indicators of Spatial Association results displayed dis…
Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Anopheles mosquito control through insecticide treated nets and community-based health programs to prevent malaria in East Sumba Island, Indonesia
With an estimated 241 million human cases and 627,000 deaths in 2020, malaria remains a significant and ongoing global health challenge. This study employs a qualitative approach to investigate knowledge, attitudes, and practices surrounding mosquito control and prevention methods in East Sumba Regency, Indonesia. While malaria is under control in much of Indonesia, transmission in Sumba Island remains high, with incidence as high as 500 per 1000…
Assessment of an evacuation shelter program for people with access and functional needs in Monroe County, Florida during Hurricane Irma
Assessing the effects of disasters and their aftermath on pregnancy and infant outcomes
Effects of Hurricane Michael on Access to Care for Pregnant Women and Associated Pregnancy Outcomes
Background : Disasters are associated with worse perinatal outcomes, perhaps due to inadequate prenatal care (PNC). Methods : Using 2017-2019 Florida vital statistics, we compared PNC use before and after Hurricane Michael. We categorized counties as most affected (Area A) or less affected (Area B and C). We examined whether Michael's effects on perinatal outcomes varied by maternity care availability and used the Baron and Kenny method to assess…
Heat illness data strengthens vulnerability maps
Our study identified different relationships with demographic/socioeconomic variables for each heat-sensitive health outcome. Results should be incorporated into vulnerability or risk indices for each health outcome
Florida neighborhood analysis of social determinants and their relationship to life expectancy
Results from the SDEM demonstrate social vulnerability indicators account for additional geographic LE variability beyond commonly studied SDOH. Empirical findings from this analysis can help local health departments identify drivers of spatial health disparities at the local level
Temperature Influences onSalmonellaInfections across the Continental United States
Salmonella spp. are one of the most common causes of gastrointestinal illness in humans. Elevated temperatures increase Salmonella spp.'s growth rate and likelihood that the food consumer will develop a severe illness. Climate and Salmonella associations have only been reported for a few U.S. states. This study investigated associations between temperature and reported human Salmonella infections from 2006 to 2014. The study analyzed state-level …
Working with Climate Projections to Estimate Disease Burden
There is interest among agencies and public health practitioners in the United States (USA) to estimate the future burden of climate-related health outcomes. Calculating disease burden projections can be especially daunting, given the complexities of climate modeling and the multiple pathways by which climate influences public health. Interdisciplinary coordination between public health practitioners and climate scientists is necessary for scient…
Building Resilience against Climate Effects—A Novel Framework to Facilitate Climate Readiness in Public Health Agencies
Climate change is anticipated to have several adverse health impacts. Managing these risks to public health requires an iterative approach. As with many risk management strategies related to climate change, using modeling to project impacts, engaging a wide range of stakeholders, and regularly updating models and risk management plans with new information-hallmarks of adaptive management-are considered central tenets of effective public health ad…
Drinking Water Systems, Hydrology, and Childhood Gastrointestinal Illness in Central and Northern Wisconsin
Objectives. This study investigated if the type of drinking water source (treated municipal, untreated municipal, and private well water) modifies the effect of hydrology on childhood (aged Methods. We conducted a time series study to assess the relationship between hydrologic and weather conditions with childhood gastrointestinal illness from 1991 to 2010. The Central and Northern Wisconsin study area includes households using all 3 types of dri…
