Using Participatory System Dynamics Approaches to Improve Community‐Based Oral Healthcare Delivery
This study leveraged system dynamics approaches to improve community‐based oral healthcare delivery via the ElderSmile program. Insights and inferences from focus groups and key informant interviews with older adults and their service providers, respectively, were integral to understanding feedback mechanisms articulated in participatory modelling exercises. Twenty‐four focus groups were conducted at community sites with racial/ethnic minority ol…
Spatial Analysis of Chinese American Ethnic Enclaves and Community Health Indicators in New York City
In New York City, the population of Chinese Americans has grown faster than that of any other minority racial/ethnic group, and now this community constitutes almost half of all Chinese Americans living in the northeastern United States. Nonetheless, scant research attention has been given to Chinese American ethnic enclaves and little is known about the health status of their residents. This study aims to help address this gap in the literature …
Developing an agent-based model of oral healthcare utilization by Chinese Americans in New York City
Disparities in Access to Oral Health Care
In the United States, people are more likely to have poor oral health if they are low-income, uninsured, and/or members of racial/ethnic minority, immigrant, or rural populations who have suboptimal access to quality oral health care. As a result, poor oral health serves as the national symbol of social inequality. There is increasing recognition among those in public health that oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease and gen…
Immigrant Status, Resilience, and Perceived Oral Health Among Chinese Americans in Hawaii
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to examine the associations among immigrant status, resilience, and perceived oral health for Chinese American older adults in Hawaii. METHOD: Data derived from 430 Chinese American adults aged 55 years and older residing in Honolulu, HI. We compared the self-rated oral health and oral health problems between U.S.-born Chinese Americans and foreign-born Chinese Americans by using ordered logistic regression and ordinar…

Public Health's Aspirational Identity
Our extended families are large and—well—complicated. During a crisis, however, our true essences emerge. More often than not, our love and support for one another overcomes our sometimes fraught and fractious tendencies
Recruitment of racial/ethnic minority older adults through community sites for focus group discussions
This study adds to the literature in two important ways. First, we leveraged the social and physical infrastructure of an existing program to recruit participants through community sites where older adults gather. Second, we used the CFIR to guide the appraisal of the recruitment process, which underscored important considerations for both reaching and engaging this underserved population. This was especially true in terms of understanding the di…
Oral Health Care Receipt and Self-Rated Oral Health for Diverse Asian American Subgroups in New York City
Objectives. To identify determinants of receipt of annual oral health examinations and self-rated oral health among diverse Asian American subgroups. Methods. We used data from the Community Health Resources and Needs Assessment, a community-based survey of Asian American immigrant adults conducted in the New York City metropolitan region from 2013 to 2016 (n = 1288). We used multivariable logistic regression models to assess determinants of oral…
Racial/Ethnic Minority Older Adults’ Perspectives on Proposed Medicaid Reforms’ Effects on Dental Care Access
To examine how proposed Medicaid reform plans are experienced by racial/ethnic minority older adults and what the implications are for their ability to access dental care through Medicaid, from 2013 to 2015 we conducted focus groups in northern Manhattan, New York, New York, among African American, Dominican, and Puerto Rican adults aged 50 years and older. Participants reported problems with affording copayments for care, complicated health and …
Third Places for Health Promotion with Older Adults
This study extends the concept of third places to include community sites where older adults gather, often for meals or companionship. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research guided program implementation and evaluation. Depending upon health promotion program needs, the physical infrastructure of a site is important, but a supportive director (champion) can often overcome identified deficits. Senior centers may be locally classifi…

Assessing health impact assessment
Health impact assessment (HIA) seeks to expand evaluation of policy and programmes in all sectors, both private and public, to include their impact on population health. While the idea that the public’s health is affected by a broad array of social and economic policies is not new and dates back well over two centuries, what is new is the notion—increasingly adopted by major health institutions, such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the…

Urban Planning and Health Equity
Environmental Equity and Health
The authors invoke a population health perspective to assess the distribution of environmental hazards according to race/ethnicity, social class, age, gender, and sexuality and the implications of these hazards for health. The unequal burden of environmental hazards borne by African American, Native American, Latino, and Asian American/Pacific Islander communities and their relationship to welldocumented racial/ethnic disparities in health have n…
A Joint Urban Planning and Public Health Framework
A joint urban planning and public health perspective is articulated here for use, in health impact assessment. Absent a blueprint for a coherent and supportive structure on which to test our thinking, we are bound to fall flat. Such a perspective is made necessary by the sheer number of people living in cities throughout the world, the need for explicit attention to land use and transportation systems as determinants of population health, and the…

Lack of Oral Health Care for Adults in Harlem
Objectives. Profound and growing disparities exist in oral health among certain US populations. We sought here to determine the prevalence of oral health complaints among Harlem adults by measures of social class, as well as their access to oral health care. Methods. A population-based survey of adults in Central Harlem was conducted from 1992 to 1994. Two questions on oral health were included: whether participants had experienced problems with …
Home hazards and falls in the elderly
OBJECTIVES. This study was undertaken to determine whether vigorous and frail older people who identify environmental hazards in their homes have an increased risk for falls. METHODS. A 1-year prospective study was conducted among 266 female and 59 male community-dwelling volunteers aged 60 to 93 years who had fallen at least once during the previous year. Composite measures of home safety and of frailty were derived using principal components an…

ElderSmile
Societal changes, including the aging of the US population and the lack of routine dental service coverage under Medicare, have left many seniors unable to afford any dental care whatsoever, let alone the most advanced treatments. 1 In 2004, the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and its partners instituted the ElderSmile program in the largely impoverished communities of Harlem and Washington Heights/Inwood in New York City. The long…
Prevalence and social correlates of cardiovascular disease risk factors in Harlem
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the prevalence, social correlates, and clustering of cardiovascular disease risk factors in a predominantly Black, poor, urban community. METHODS: Associations of risk factor prevalences with sociodemographic variables were examined in a population-based sample of 695 men and women aged 18 to 65 years living in Central Harlem. RESULTS: One third of the men and women were hypertensive, 48% of the men and 41% of the …

Public Health Support for the Health Home Model
The author reflects on the implementation of the home health model of medical care in the U.S. She suggests that the current medical, dental and social care systems in the U.S. are difficult to navigate and create pain and suffering for older patients and burnout for care providers. She argues that the health home approach places an emphasis on promoting health and well being and that the health home model of treating older people should receive …
On the Front Lines
Asthma is now the leading cause of school absence among children of color in impoverished urban neighborhoods. Environmental interventions have the potential to augment clinical approaches to asthma management by directly reducing exposure to environmental triggers (e.g., cockroaches, rodents, and mold). We implemented an apartment-based intervention to reduce exposures to indoor allergens among children living with asthma in 2 areas in New York …
Diesel exhaust exposure among adolescents in Harlem
OBJECTIVES: This study sought individual-level data on diesel exhaust exposure and lung function among adolescents in Harlem as part of a community-driven research agenda. METHODS: High school students administered in-person surveys to seventh grade students to ascertain information on demographics, asthma history, and self-reported and maternal smoking. Urine samples were assayed for 1-hydroxypyrene (1-HP), a marker of diesel exhaust exposure, a…

Social Epidemiology and the Fundamental Cause Concept
Since the early 1800s, studies have consistently demonstrated that people higher in the socioeconomic hierarchy live longer than people of lower rank. One hypothesis for the persistence of this association is that people who are relatively better off are more able to avoid risks by adopting currently available protective strategies. In a partial test of this idea, the social distributions of two cancer screening tests—Pap smears and mammography—w…

Relationship of Depressive Symptoms to Hypertension in a Household Survey in Harlem
OBJECTIVE: Two possible explanations for an hypothesized association between depression and hypertension were examined: (1) shared stress-related risk factors are associated with both depression and hypertension and (2) life-style factors associated with depression lead to hypertension. METHODS: A predominantly black sample of 695 adults were interviewed in the Harlem Household Survey. Two measures of hypertension were used and compared-1) self-r…
Labor Day and Public Health
The cover image of farmworkers walking a picket line in Watsonville, Calif, in 1997 marks Labor Day and worker health. Workers and their families constitute the overwhelming majority of the public. Research classifications based on gender, race/ethnicity, country of origin, or sexual orientation usually contain a predominance of workers in each group. Egregious disparities in health are evident between those who own businesses and those who work …
