Neighborhood Racial Segregation Predict the Spatial Distribution of Supermarkets and Grocery Stores Better than Socioeconomic Factors in Cleveland, Ohio
Introduction The food environment influences the availability and affordability of food options for consumers in a given neighborhood. However, disparities in access to healthy food options exist, affecting Black and low-income communities disproportionately. This study investigated whether racial segregation predicted the spatial distribution of supermarkets and grocery stores better than socioeconomic factors or vice versa in Cleveland, Ohio. M…
Improving Surveillance and Epidemic Response in Ohio Childcare Settings
At the start of the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the risk of cases in childcare programs was unknown. Thus, a rapid-response research approach was launched in Ohio childcare settings. Passive surveillance data from a state-operated incident reporting system were evaluated to estimate the number of COVID-19 cases from 15 August 2020 to 1 January 2021. Additionally, active surveillance with self-administered reverse transcriptas…
Small Improvements in an Urban Food Environment Resulted in No Changes in Diet Among Residents
People and places shaping food procurement among recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Predictors of Farmers’ Market Shopping among People Receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Benefits
Promoting use of farmers’ markets ( FM s) is a promising community‐level strategy to increase access to nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables. Yet, FM shopping among people with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ( SNAP ) benefits remains low. This research examined predictors of FM shopping among SNAP recipients living within 1 mile of a FM . A cross‐sectional survey of SNAP participants ( N = 270) was conducted in 2015 in Clevel…
Food Melt in Consumer Food Environments in Low-income Urban Neighborhoods
Food melt differentially affects individuals in neighborhoods without grocery stores. Findings reveal composition of food environments is dynamic rather than static, influencing food-purchasing choices among lowincome consumers
Developing multidimensional measures of healthy food access among low-income adults in Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Objective Access to nutritious foods is key to achieving health promotion goals. While there is evidence that nutritious food access is complex, measures assessing multiple domains of access, including spatial-temporal, economic, social, service delivery and personal, are lacking. The current study evaluates psychometric properties of scales designed to measure perceptions of multiple domains of nutritious food access among low-income populations…

Taking Be Proud! Be Responsible! to the Suburbs
CONTEXT: An important phase of HIV prevention research is replicating successful interventions with different groups and in different settings. METHODS: Be Proud! Be Responsible!, a successful intervention originally targeting black urban males and carried out in nonschool settings, was presented in health classes at urban and suburban schools with diverse student bodies. A group‐randomized intervention study, which included 1,357 ninth and 10th …

Outcomes in Young Adulthood for Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants
BACKGROUND: Very-low-birth-weight infants (those weighing less than 1500 g) born during the initial years of neonatal intensive care have now reached young adulthood. METHODS: We compared a cohort of 242 survivors among very-low-birth-weight infants born between 1977 and 1979 (mean birth weight, 1179 g; mean gestational age at birth, 29.7 weeks) with 233 controls from the same population in Cleveland who had normal birth weights. We assessed the …
Loss of Health Insurance and the Risk for a Decline in Self-Reported Health and Physical Functioning
BACKGROUND: Millions of Americans are intermittently uninsured. The health consequences of this are not known. SETTING: National survey. PARTICIPANTS: Six thousand seventy-two participants in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) age 51 to 61 years old with private insurance in 1992. MEASUREMENTS: Loss of insurance coverage between 1992 and 1992 and development of a major decline in overall health or a new physical difficulty between 1994 and 199…
Lack of Health Insurance and Decline in Overall Health in Late Middle Age
BACKGROUND: The number of adults in their 50s and 60s in the United States who do not have health insurance is increasing. This group may be particularly vulnerable to the ill effects of being uninsured. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study using files from the Health and Retirement Study, a national survey of adults who were 51 to 61 years old in 1992. We determined the risks of a major decline in overall health and of the developmen…
The Meaning of Older Adults' Health Appraisals
This study explored open-ended responses regarding attributions underlying health appraisals made by older adults, resulting in five categories (physical health, attitudinal/behavioral, externally focused, health transcendence, nonreflective). The older the respondents, the less likely they were to focus on physical aspects of their health. Health optimists were the most likely to make attitudinal/behavioral or health transcendent attributions, w…
