Understanding Present-Day Racialized Inequities in Urban Heat
Shared leadership team
Drexel University’s Dornsife School of Public Health (DSPH) upholds its founding belief that health is a human right. In pursuit of this commitment, DSPH has made addressing racism and discrimination a core public health priority through intentional diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) efforts for all. To challenge traditional hierarchical structures that have excluded the voices and decisions of many, the school established a Share…
Methodologic Strategies for Quantifying Associations of Historical and Contemporary Mortgage Discrimination on Population Health Equity
Gender and violent crime modify associations between greenspace and cardiovascular disease mortality in Philadelphia, PA
Does Urban Greenspace Reduce Mortality Inequalities Based on Poverty, Race, or Both in Philadelphia, PA
Modification of temperature-related human mortality by area-level socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in Latin American cities
Evidence of effect modification of cold-related mortality in Latin American cities was limited, and unexpected patterns of modification of heat-related mortality were observed. Socioeconomic deprivation may impact cold-related mortality, particularly among the elderly. The findings of higher levels of poverty and income inequality associated with lower heat-related mortality deserve further investigation given the increasing importance of urban a…
Reduction in socioeconomic inequalities in self-reported mental health conditions with increasing greenspace exposure
Associations Between Historical Redlining and Present-Day Heat Vulnerability Housing and Land Cover Characteristics in Philadelphia, PA
Does Living near Trees and Other Vegetation Affect the Contemporaneous Odds of Asthma Exacerbation among Pediatric Asthma Patients
Associations between Greenspace and Gentrification-Related Sociodemographic and Housing Cost Changes in Major Metropolitan Areas across the United States
Neighborhood greenspace may attract new residents and lead to sociodemographic or housing cost changes. We estimated relationships between greenspace and gentrification-related changes in the 43 largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) of the United States (US). We used the US National Land Cover and Brown University Longitudinal Tracts databases, as well as spatial lag models, to estimate census tract-level associations between percentage g…
Geocoding Error, Spatial Uncertainty, and Implications for Exposure Assessment and Environmental Epidemiology
Although environmental epidemiology studies often rely on geocoding procedures in the process of assigning spatial exposure estimates, geocoding methods are not commonly reported, nor are consequent errors in exposure assignment explored. Geocoding methods differ in accuracy, however, and, given the increasing refinement of available exposure models for air pollution and other exposures, geocoding error may account for an increasingly larger prop…
High Ambient Temperature and Infant Mortality in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Objective. To quantify the association between heat and infant mortality and identify factors that influence infant vulnerability to heat. Methods. We conducted a time-stratified case–crossover analysis of associations between ambient temperature and infant mortality in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the warm months of 2000 through 2015. We used conditional logistic regression models to estimate associations of infant mortality with daily tem…
Motor Vehicle Crashes Involving a Bicycle Before and After Introduction of a Bike Share Program in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2010–2018
Objectives. To quantify the impact of a citywide bicycle share program on rates of motor vehicle collisions involving a bicycle. Methods. We conducted an interrupted time series analysis, using crash records from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for Philadelphia County from 2010 through 2018. We also calculated summary statistics to illustrate annual and monthly trends in rates of motor vehicle crashes involving a bicycle. Results. T…
Greenspace and Infant Mortality in Philadelphia, PA
A Time Series Analysis of Associations between Daily Temperature and Crime Events in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Data Completeness and Quality in a Community-Based and Participatory Epidemiologic Study
Community members collected relatively complete and consistent data. Better training in use of mechanical devices and more frequent input from researchers could help to improve data quality in CBPR studies
