Exploring the Impact of Neighbourhood Social Fragmentation on High Subjective Wellbeing
Subjective wellbeing (SWB) is a key social indicator and a potential determinant of health, yet empirical evidence linking neighbourhood social fragmentation to higher SWB remains limited. This study examined the association between neighbourhood social fragmentation and high SWB among 2,056 adults in the Australian Capital Territory using data from the ‘Living well in the ACT Region’ survey. High SWB was assessed using the Personal Wellbeing Ind…
Concurrent assessment of urban environment and cardiometabolic risk over 10 years in a middle-aged population-based cohort
Inference regarding the impact of urban areas on health is limited by cross-sectional studies assessing few dimensions and ignoring area-level socio-economic status. This study simultaneously assessed several dimensions of the built environment against incident cardiometabolic risk (CMR) arising over 10 years. It tested the hypothesis that, accounting for local area relative wealth, features of the built environment would not predict incident CMR…

Completeness of HIV reporting on death certificates for Floridians reported with HIV infection, 2000–2011
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) mortality is used as a key measure to monitor the impact of HIV throughout the world. It is important that HIV be correctly recorded on death certificates so that the burden of HIV mortality can be tracked accurately. The objective of this study was to determine the extent of failure to correctly report HIV on death certificates and examine patterns of incompleteness by demographic factors. Causes of death on de…
Rural Aids Diagnoses in Florida
PURPOSE: To compare demographic characteristics and predictors of survival of rural residents diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with those of urban residents. METHODS: Florida surveillance data for people diagnosed with AIDS during 1993-2007 were merged with 2000 Census data using ZIP code tabulation areas (ZCTAs). Rural status was classified based on the ZCTA's rural-urban commuting area classification. Survival rates were…
Community Poverty and Trends in Racial/Ethnic Survival Disparities Among People Diagnosed With Aids in Florida, 1993–2004
Objectives. We described the racial/ethnic disparities in survival among people diagnosed with AIDS in Florida from 1993 to 2004, as the availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) became widespread. We determined whether these disparities decreased after controlling for measures of community-level socioeconomic status. Methods. We compared survival from all causes between non-Hispanic Blacks and non-Hispanic Whites vis-a-vis sur…
Measuring Socioeconomic Inequality in the Incidence of Aids
Correlates of Heavy Drinking Behaviors of Latino Mothers and their Adult Daughters
This study explored associations between adult Latina heavy drinking behaviors and potential psychosocial and demographic correlates. It used mother-daughter dyads and a cross-sectional design. Data were drawn from a community-based sample of 158 dyads of adult Latinas (n=316), age 18 years or older, recruited between 2004 and 2006. Bivariate and multivariate statistical methods, including logistic regression and pathway models, were used to anal…
Blood Lead Levels in Children and Environmental Lead Contamination in Miami Inner City, Florida
Studies have shown that the environmental conditions of the home are important predictors of health, especially in low-income communities. Understanding the relationship between the environment and health is crucial in the management of certain diseases. One health outcome related to the home environment among urban, minority, and low-income children is childhood lead poisoning. The most common sources of lead exposure for children are lead paint…
Access to myocardial revascularization procedures
The gap observed in revascularization rates at the index hospitalization for MI is in favour of patients living closer (< 32 km) to a SCC. This gap remains unchanged over the first year after an MI except for patients living between 64 and 105 km, where a closing of the gap can be noticed
