Investing in Public School Kitchens and Equipment as a Pathway to Healthy Eating and Equitable Access to Healthy Food
BACKGROUND: We gathered baseline data about student need of healthy, free school food, and if current school meal programming serves students in need of healthy free school food, in anticipation of the completion of a district-wide kitchen infrastructure and educational farm project in a high-poverty urban school district. METHODS: We used mixed methods to assess student hunger, whether the school meal program met student needs, and to determine …
African American students’ college choice processes in a post 209 era
High-achieving African American students in California are not attending University of California (UC) campuses. Due to hyper-implementations of Proposition 209, which limited UC campuses’ ability to use race as a significant admission criteria, the UC system and individual UC campus policies have scaled back their efforts to recruit high-achieving African American students from California. This article presents findings from the qualitative port…
The Important Role of Government in Comprehensive Community Initiatives
Comprehensive community initiatives (CCI) are multi-issue, large-scale, often philanthropic investments in disadvantaged communities to comprehensively address community problems. We studied two sites of The California Endowment’s Building Healthy Communities Initiative, Richmond and East Oakland, to examine CCI implementation. Prior research offers best practices focused on cultivating existing community organizational and organizing infrastruct…
Association of proximity and density of parks and objectively measured physical activity in the United States
Where Is the “Public” in Public Universities
This article explores the challenges and opportunities that exist with conducting participatory action research (PAR) and argues that institutions of higher education, especially public universities, have a unique responsibility to provide benefits to the public via PAR. Drawing on current and previous PAR efforts, this article suggests it is possible to produce quality research in concert with community members by focusing on five key issues—con…
The Role of Individual and Neighborhood Factors
Power, politics, and community development
Across the US, vulnerable communities have been adversely affected by large-scale development led by universities, hospitals, and medical facilities. More often than not, much of the tension around university or hospital expansion has been around traffic congestion, rising land, and housing costs, displacement of lower income individuals, gentrification, and environmental pollution. Using interviews, focus groups, archival data and observant part…
The role of community-based strategies in addressing metropolitan segregation and racial health disparities
This paper is a conceptual analysis of the effects of racial residential segregation, which is a major contributor to racial and ethnic health disparities. Metropolitan segregation has had adverse health consequences for economically disadvantaged and minority populations because they are exposed to higher levels of environmental pollutants and have limited opportunities to gain a quality education, access to healthcare, and increase their econom…
How Planning and Zoning Contribute to Inequitable Development, Neighborhood Health, and Environmental Injustice
In this commentary, we discuss the ways in which planning and zoning contribute to inequitable development and how this has implications for the design of neighborhoods, health and health disparities, and environmental injustice. We first discuss the history of zoning and planning in this country and their contribution to inequitable development and urban fragmentation. We then describe how the distribution of resources within and between neighbo…
