These findings suggest a meaningful association between local Age-Friendly designation and the availability of resources that can support aging in place. Although we did not directly measure health outcomes, neighborhoods with greater resource density are likely to experience multiple health benefits, including improved quality of life for older adults
The impact of state safety net policies on perinatal birth outcomes by maternal race
The combination of state safety-net programs may imply important roles in reducing the prevalence of low birthweight and preterm birth

Participatory Systems Thinking to Elucidate Drivers of Food Access and Diet Disparities among Minoritized Urban Populations
The purpose of this study was to use participatory systems thinking to develop a dynamic conceptual framework of racial/ethnic and other intersecting disparities (e.g., income) in food access and diet in Philadelphia and to identify policy levers to address these disparities.
