Not (Officially) in My Backyard
One promising policy approach to addressing housing needs is liberalizing accessory dwelling unit (ADU) development. Yet, understanding the impact of such policy efforts is fundamentally constrained by the inability to quantify and characterize unpermitted ADUs, which may expose homeowners and tenants to legal, financial, and safety risks and confound policy evaluations. We addressed this gap by leveraging computer vision and human annotations to…
Moving from total risk to community-based risk trajectories increases transparency and equity in flood risk mitigation planning along urban rivers
After several years of drought, 2023 and early 2024 are reminders of the powers of California’s atmospheric rivers and the devastating flooding they can entail. Aged flood-mitigation infrastructure and climate change exacerbate flood risk for some communities more than for others, highlighting the challenge of equitably mitigating flood risk. Identifying inequities associated with infrastructure projects is now legally required by regional water …
Improving adaptation to wildfire smoke and extreme heat in frontline communities
Exposure to climate hazards is increasing, and the experiences of frontline communities warrant meaningful and urgent attention towards how to mitigate, manage, and adapt to hazards. We report results from a community-engaged pilot (November 2021–June 2022) of N = 30 participants in four frontline communities of the San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA. The study region is an area where low-income, non-English-speaking residents are inequitabl…
Science Translation During the Covid-19 Pandemic
On the basis of an extensive academic–public health partnership around COVID-19 response, we illustrate the challenge of science-policy translation by examining one of the most common nonpharmaceutical interventions: capacity limits. We study the implementation of a 20% capacity limit in retail facilities in the California Bay Area. Through a difference-in-differences analysis, we show that the intervention caused no material reduction in visits,…
Evaluation of Allocation Schemes of Covid-19 Testing Resources in a Community-Based Door-to-Door Testing Program
In this cohort study of 785 participants, uncertainty sampling, which has not been used conventionally in public health, showed promising results for allocating testing resources. Community-based door-to-door interventions and leveraging of community knowledge were associated with reduced demographic disparities in testing
