Bridging the Response to Mass Shootings and Urban Violence
We have described self-reported exposure to gun violence in an urban community of color to inform the movement toward a public health approach to gun violence prevention. The Community Alliance for Research and Engagement at Yale School of Public Health conducted community health needs assessments to document chronic disease prevalence and risk, including exposure to gun violence. We conducted surveys with residents in six low-income neighborhood…
Postpartum Intimate Partner Violence and Health Risks Among Young Mothers in the United States
Residential racial segregation and racial differences in sexual behaviours
BACKGROUND: Determining the underlying causes of racial disparities in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is important. In the USA, rates of the most common STIs range from 5 to 20 times higher for African-Americans compared to Caucasians, and the health consequences of STIs can be serious. Residential racial segregation results in very different contexts for individuals and may be an important determinant of sexual risk. The purpose of this …
Racial Residential Segregation and Rates of Gonorrhea in the United States, 2003–2007
Objectives. In the United States, Black persons are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including gonorrhea. Individual behaviors do not fully explain these racial disparities. We explored the association of racial residential segregation with gonorrhea rates among Black persons and hypothesized that specific dimensions of segregation would be associated with gonorrhea rates. Methods. We used 2003 to 2007 nation…

The MAPSCorps project sounds like an excellent community initiative with similar yet distinct features from the CARE (Community Alliance for Research and Engagement) initiative. The goal of CARE’s asset mapping and Community Interventions for Health is to focus on assets associated with obesogenic environments.1,2 Therefore, we directed our resources toward features of the built environment that could directly impact diet and physical activity: s…
Urban Youths Go 3000 Miles
In 2009, CARE (Community Alliance for Research and Engagement at Yale University) launched a multisectoral chronic disease prevention initiative that conducts baseline data collection, interventions, and follow-up data collection to measure change. Data collection includes asset mapping to assess environmental determinants of chronic disease risk factors in neighborhoods and around schools. CARE hired 7 local high school students to conduct asset…
Antecedents and Consequences of Caregiving Structure on Young Mothers and Their Infants
Pregnancy as a Window of Opportunity for HIV Prevention
Objectives. We sought to determine whether an HIV prevention program bundled with group prenatal care reduced sexually transmitted infection (STI) incidence, repeat pregnancy, sexual risk behavior, and psychosocial risks. Methods. We conducted a randomized controlled trial at 2 prenatal clinics. We assigned pregnant women aged 14 to 25 years (N = 1047) to individual care, attention-matched group care, and group care with an integrated HIV compone…
