Social determinants of vulnerability to nitrogen oxide- and sulfur dioxide-related bone damage among postmenopausal women in the United States
Background Studying social determinants of health (SDOH) in air pollutant-related bone loss among aging women may help identify bone health disparities, design preventive strategies, and inform policy. Prolonged exposure to air pollution is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk in later life. However, the extent to which socioeconomic status (SES) contributes to pollution-related bone damage remains uncl…
Exploring the availability and accessibility of menstrual friendly public toilets (MFPTs) in urban spaces
There is a significant gap in the provision of MFPTs in urban centers. Further research is needed to understand the extent of challenges related to accessibility, structural amenities, and availability of MHH-related resources, and how they can best be addressed. Our study's findings underscore the need for the prioritization of MFPTs in public spaces to ensure all individuals have equitable access to manage their menstrual cycles

Patients with diabetes struggling to afford food and control their HbA1c in food-insecure areas in Bronx, NY
Objective: To characterise the association between risk of poor glycaemic control and self-reported and area-level food insecurity among adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Design: We performed a retrospective, observational analysis of cross-sectional data routinely collected within a health system. Logistic regressions estimated the association between glycaemic control and the dual effect of self-reported and area-level measures of food insec…

Neighborhood Alcohol Outlet Density, Historical Redlining, and Violent Crime in NYC 2014–2018
Alcohol outlets tend to cluster in lower income neighborhoods and do so disproportionately in areas with more residents of color. This study explores the association between on- and off-premise alcohol outlet density and history of redlining with violent crime in New York City between 2014 and 2018. Alcohol outlet density was calculated using a spatial accessibility index. Multivariable linear regression models assess associations between the his…
Effect of emergency obstetric care and proximity to comprehensive facilities on facility-based delivery in Malawi and Haiti
Proximity of households to comprehensive obstetric care is a key determinant for preventing maternal mortality due to obstetric emergencies. The relationship between proximity to comprehensive care and facility delivery is further complicated by the use of varied methods in measuring facility obstetric capacity–which may misrepresent the real scenario of obstetric care availability in a service environment. We investigated the joint effects of pr…
They Didn't See It Coming
As cities strive to protect vulnerable residents from climate risks and impacts, recent studies have identified a challenging link between these measures and gentrification processes that reconfigure, but do not necessarily eliminate, climate insecurities. Green resilient infrastructure (GRI) may especially increase the vulnerability of lower income communities of color to gentrification, an issue that remains underexplored. Drawing on the foreru…
Neighborhood social cohesion and viral suppression after HIV diagnosis
Social cohesion has varying effects on health. We investigated the association of perceived neighborhood social cohesion with HIV viral suppression using individual-level data from the New York City HIV registry and surveillance-based interviews ( n = 92). Suppression was achieved within 12 months of HIV diagnosis by 60 percent of persons perceiving low cohesion and 71 percent of those perceiving high ( p = 0.31). Controlling for demographic and …
Healthful and less-healthful foods and drinks from storefront and non-storefront businesses
Objective: Conceptualisations of ‘food deserts’ (areas lacking healthful food/drink) and ‘food swamps’ (areas overwhelm by less-healthful fare) may be both inaccurate and incomplete. Our objective was to more accurately and completely characterise food/drink availability in urban areas. Design: Cross-sectional assessment of select healthful and less-healthful food/drink offerings from storefront businesses (stores, restaurants) and non-storefront…
Menstruation and homelessness
A growing literature attests to menstrual management difficulties of girls, women and other people who menstruate. Largely ignored are the menstruation-management needs of people experiencing homelessness. We explored these realities in New York City through in-depth interviews with individuals living on the street and in shelters (n = 22), key informant interviews with staff at government agencies, shelters and service provider organizations (n …

Why green “climate gentrification” threatens poor and vulnerable populations

Healthcare facility characteristics associated with achievement and maintenance of HIV viral suppression among persons newly diagnosed with HIV in New York City
Health care facility characteristics have been shown to influence intermediary health outcomes among persons with HIV, but few longitudinal studies of suppression have included these characteristics. We studied the association of these characteristics with the achievement and maintenance of HIV viral suppression among New York City (NYC) residents aged 13 years and older newly diagnosed with HIV between 2006 and 2012. The NYC HIV surveillance reg…
Brownfields to Greenfields
Gentrification is a growing concern in many urban areas, due to the potential for displacement of lower-income and other vulnerable populations. This process can be accelerated when neighborhood "greening" projects are undertaken via governmental or private investor efforts, resulting in a phenomenon termed environmental or "green" gentrification. Vacant land in lower-income areas is often improved by the existing community through the creation o…
Assessing population at risk
This chapter provides a description and comparison of techniques used to estimate population counts and socio-demographic characteristics in areas potentially impacted by environmental and other hazards, or to ascertain which populations do not have adequate access to health-promoting land uses and facilities. These techniques can be used to facilitate environmental justice and health equity analyses. Environmental impacts are often spatially rep…

At-risk’ places
Using geospatial analytical methods, this study examines the association between one aspect of the built environment, namely, the concentration of vacant and derelict land (VDL), and the prevalence of mental health disorders (using the proxy variable of mental health medication prescription rates) in Glasgow, Scotland. This study builds on our previous research, which demonstrated the spatial correspondence between the locations of VDL in Glasgow…

Mapping Population Distribution in the Urban Environment
This paper discusses the importance of determining an accurate depiction of total population and specific sub-population distribution for urban areas in order to develop an improved "denominator," which would enable the calculation of more correct rates in GIS analyses involving public health, crime, and urban environmental planning. Rather than using data aggregated by arbitrary administrative boundaries such as census tracts, we use dasymetric …

Research Note—A New Method for Mapping Population and Understanding the Spatial Dynamics of Disease in Urban Areas
Determining an accurate depiction of population distribution for urban areas in order to develop an improved "denominator" is important for the calculation of higher-precision rates in GIS analyses, particularly when exploring the spatial dynamics of disease. Rather than using data aggregated by arbitrary administrative boundaries such as census tracts, we developed the Cadastral-Based Expert Dasymetric System (CEDS), an interpolation method usin…

Disparities in Access to Over-the-Counter Nicotine Replacement Products in New York City Pharmacies
Objectives. We surveyed the availability of tobacco products and nonprescription nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in pharmacies in New York City, stratified by the race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES) of the surrounding neighborhoods to determine whether disparities in availability existed. Methods. Surveyors visited a random sample of retail pharmacies to record the availability of tobacco products and nonprescription NRT. We used c…
