Anthropogenic emissions or just a lot of hot air? Using air pollution to teach quantitative methods to “mathophobic” first-year geography students
Debates about how best to support students’ transition from school to university have re-emerged periodically since at least the 1970s. This paper focuses upon one aspect of this transition: how to develop the quantitative skills students acquire at school throughout the first year of their degree. We report on an attempt to inject pedagogic innovation into the teaching of quantitative methods to first-year geography undergraduates at a large Rus…
Exploring Black students' mental health characteristics by field of academic study utilizing a critical race lens
This study examined the mental health characteristics of 428 Black students from 43 different fields of academic study to determine if there was a relationship between student mental health concerns and their selected field of academic study. Additionally, this study considered the possible impact of racialized stress on the development of Black collegians' mental health concerns. Holland's theory on career choice was examined as an explanation f…
Minimizing aggregation errors when measuring potential access to services for social groups at the city scale
This research explores how to minimize aggregation errors when measuring potential access to services for social groups at the city scale. It develops a cadastral and address-based population weighting technique, the Household Space Weighting, to reduce aggregation errors caused by using population weighted centroids when applying the Have Their Centre In criterion (the Population Weighted Centroid technique). The Household Space Weighting techni…
This divided land
This paper is the first empirical examination of the association between brownfield land and spatial inequalities in health. Linear mixed modelling of ward-level data suggests that there is higher exposure and susceptibility to brownfield land in the Northern compared to the Southern regions (with the exception of London); that brownfield exposure has an association with regional inequalities in mortality and morbidity within regions (particularl…
Healthy Land? An Examination of the Area-Level Association between Brownfield Land and Morbidity and Mortality in England
It is increasingly understood that the physical environment remains an important determinant of area-level health and spatial and socioeconomic health inequalities. Existing research has largely focused on the health effects of differential access to green space, the proximity of waste facilities, or air pollution. The role of brownfield-or previously developed-land has been largely overlooked. This is the case even in studies that utilise multip…
The ecological relationship between deprivation, social isolation and rates of hospital admission for acute psychiatric care
Geographical variation in acute psychiatric admissions within New York City 1990–2000
The paper analyses geographical variations in use of acute psychiatric inpatient services within New York City and how these have changed from 1990 to 2000. We review literature suggesting reasons for the variations observed. Data from the New York State Department of Health Statewide Planning Research and Cooperative System were combined with population census data to produce age standardized ratio indicators of admissions and of bed days, as me…
