From Past to Present: Examining the Associations Between Historical Racialized Housing Interventions and Current-Day Neighborhood-level Outcomes: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Addressing the commercial determinants of unhealthy beverage exposure: A systems thinking approach
BACKGROUND: The beverage industry plays an influential role in the US. Certain beverages, such as sugar-sweetened, have long been recognized as key contributors to poor population health with inequitable impacts. In response, multiple US initiatives have attempted to address these problems through public awareness campaigns and policies, such as taxes. Yet, the persistent and increasing reliance on unhealthy commercial products produced by the be…
Evaluating select factors and mechanisms influencing meat consumption in Baltimore City: An agent-based modeling study
Reducing meat consumption has been identified as an effective strategy for protecting human and planetary health. Policies and programs to reduce meat consumption have produced inconsistent results given the complexities of human behavior and food consumption. In this study, we used a systems approach to develop an agent-based model (ABM), explored key factors and mechanisms influencing meat consumption, and tested potential scenarios to reduce m…
Design of the Focus on Restaurant Engagement to Strengthen Health (FRESH) study: Leveraging systems science to work with independently-owned restaurants to increase access to and promotion of healthfu…
Background: High dietary quality can protect against diet-related chronic diseases. In the United States, racial and ethnic minorities and those with lower incomes consistently exhibit lower dietary quality. Independently-owned restaurants are a common prepared food source in minority low-income communities, but there are significant knowledge gaps on how to work with these restaurants to offer healthy food, due to underlying and dynamic complexi…
Inclusive and intersectoral: Community health improvement planning opportunities to advance the social determinants of health and health equity
Although local health departments can leverage CHIPs to improve population health and address health disparities, they face a range of challenges to including the social determinants of health in CHIPs. Additional resourcing and improved data are needed to facilitate broader inclusion of these determinants, and more work is needed to elevate equity throughout these planning processes
Mapping the invisible: Bridging and trusting networks in sustaining the urban food system
This article makes visible the social network infrastructure of people sustaining the urban food system in the post-industrial city of Buffalo, NY. It does so by probing how networks are launched and sustained over time, who is responsible for the networks, and to what end. The authors employ a survey to collect data on social networks among actors within the city's food system. The findings suggest that Buffalo's urban food system is a constella…
Planning and Food Sovereignty in Conflict Cities: Insights From Urban Growers in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir
Problem, research strategy, and findings Protracted political conflicts disrupt people's lives, including their ability to feed themselves. Urban planning, operating within the ambit of the state, impacts food systems in conflict cities. We examine the confluence of planning and political misgovernance on food sovereignty in conflict cities. We do so by documenting the experiences of urban growers who cultivate, eat, and distribute indigenous gre…
Revisiting revitalization: Exploring how structural determinants moderate pathways between neighborhood change and health
Vacant housing can produce many issues that affect residents' quality of life, especially in historically segregated communities of color. To address these challenges, local governments invest in strategic, place-based revitalization initiatives focused on the regeneration of vacant housing. Yet, the outcomes of these efforts remain contested. To maximize health benefits of revitalization investments, a more nuanced understanding of pathways betw…
Acquisition, mobility and food insecurity: Integrated food systems opportunities across urbanicity levels highlighted by Covid-19
Objective: To investigate acquisition and mobility experiences of food-insecure individuals across urbanicity levels (i.e., urban, suburban, rural) in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Cross-sectional study using a nationally representative online panel to measure where food-insecure individuals acquired food, food acquisition barriers and mobility to food sources, which were evaluated across urbanicity levels using chi-squared t…
Planning for Regional Food Equity
Problem, research strategy, and findings Scholars in planning and public health have increasingly called attention to inequities in the food system. To evaluate and address these challenges, local and regional governments have developed and implemented a variety of plans over the last 2 decades. The role of regional food planning, however, remains understudied. Most assessments of plans, vis-à-vis food systems, fall short in gauging how plans add…
International trade and the neoliberal diet in Central America and the Dominican Republic: Bringing social inequality to the center of analysis
Relationships between Vacant Homes and Food Swamps: A Longitudinal Study of an Urban Food Environment
Research indicates that living in neighborhoods with high concentrations of boarded-up vacant homes is associated with premature mortality due to cancer and diabetes, but the mechanism for this relationship is unclear. Boarded-up housing may indirectly impact residents' health by affecting their food environment. We evaluated the association between changes in vacancy rates and changes in the density of unhealthy food outlets as a proportion of a…
Longitudinal Associations between Change in Neighborhood Social Disorder and Change in Food Swamps in an Urban Setting
Healthy versus Unhealthy Suppliers in Food Desert Neighborhoods: A Network Analysis of Corner Stores’ Food Supplier Networks
Our findings indicate clear differences between corner stores' HSN and UHSN. Addressing ethnic/cultural differences of storeowners may also be important to consider
