  • Community-Based Covid-19 Vaccine Clinics in Medically Underserved Neighborhoods to Improve Access and Equity, Philadelphia, 2021–2022

    Heather Klusaritz, Emily Paterson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2022

    Vaccination remains key to reducing the risk of COVID-19–related severe illness and death. Because of historic medical exclusion and barriers to access, Black communities have had lower rates of COVID-19 vaccination than White communities. We describe the efforts of an academic medical institution to implement community-based COVID-19 vaccine clinics in medically underserved neighborhoods in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Over a 13-month period (Apr…

    Open AccessKelly A Courts, Kelly Courts et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2021

    Objective: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening for food insecurity (FI) at all well-child visits due to well-documented negative effects of experiencing FI in childhood. Before age 3, children have twelve recommended primary care visits at which screening could occur. Little is known regarding the stability of FI status at this frequency of screening. Design: Data derived from electronic health records were used to retrospecti…

  • Perceptions of Nature and Access to Green Space in Four Urban Neighborhoods

    Open AccessJustine S Sefcik, Michelle C Kondo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Health benefits have been linked to spending time outdoors in nature and green space. However, there is some evidence of inequities to accessing safe outdoor space, particularly in low-resource communities. The primary aim of this study is to assess attitudes towards nature and use of green space in urban areas. A secondary aim is to describe perceptions of physician-initiated nature prescriptions that target local pediatric populations. We condu…

  • Is Lower 30-Day Mortality Posthospital Admission Among Blacks Unique to the Veterans Affairs Health Care System

    Daniel Polsky, Judith R Lave et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2007Referencias: 29

    BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported lower risk-adjusted mortality for blacks than whites within the Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system, particularly for those age 65 and older. This finding may be a result of the VA's integrated health care system, which reduces barriers to care through subsidized comprehensive health care services. However, no studies have directly compared racial differences in mortality within 30 days of hospitaliz…
