Modeling the dynamics of access to healthy food. The case of Cleveland, Ohio
Food insecurity in Cleveland, Ohio, reflects structural inequities that shape urban food systems in the United States and beyond. Historical legacies of racial segregation, chronic underinvestment in marginalized neighborhoods, and persistent wage stagnation have contributed to uneven access to affordable, nutritious food. Understanding these disparities requires a systemic perspective that captures the dynamic interactions among economic, social…
Using photovoice to define “community” in substance use disorder research engaging service users, providers, and policymakers
(197 words)The ideals of community-engaged health research are challenging to realize ethically and methodologically, particularly when focused on substance use disorder (SUD), in which the power differentials inherent to stigma marginalize people with lived experience (LE) as full community participants. This study provides a typology and exploratory data generated through Photovoice to understand relationships among community members with diffe…
Culturally Responsive Teaching through Spatial Justice in Urban Neighborhoods
As part of a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project to create culturally responsive curriculum that uses critical spatial thinking and geospatial technologies to address spatial justice in urban neighborhoods, students from a predominantly African American inner-city public high school in Toledo, Ohio participated in two summer workshops in 2015 and 2016. Using a range of data sources including sketch maps, interviews, and neighborhood-…
Navigating community engagement in participatory modeling of food systems
This paper describes the participatory modeling experiences of five discrete teams across the U.S. working to develop models of food systems to identify leverage points and policies to induce food system transformation. Collaboration between academic and community partners within these individual modeling processes enables teams to address food systems complexity, integrate scientific evidence and local knowledge into models, while improving a mo…
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…
Health outcomes in redlined versus non-redlined neighborhoods
A win-win for all of us
