Associations Between Public Housing Residency and Health Behaviors in a Cross-Sectional Sample of Boston Adults
This study aims to provide improved estimates of the association between public housing development (PHD) residency and health behavior outcomes, accounting for sources of confounding frequently overlooked in prior research. We combined novel data from two health surveys fielded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2015–2016. We fit a propensity score model of PHD residency to generate inverse probability of treatment weights, which work to synthesize as…
Evaluation of the Environmental Scoring System in Multiple Child Asthma Intervention Programs in Boston, Massachusetts
Objectives. To test the applicability of the Environmental Scoring System, a quick and simple approach for quantitatively measuring environmental triggers collected during home visits, and to evaluate its contribution to improving asthma outcomes among various child asthma programs. Methods. We pooled and analyzed data from multiple child asthma programs in the Greater Boston Area, Massachusetts, collected in 2011 to 2016, to examine the associat…
Measures of Local Segregation for Monitoring Health Inequities by Local Health Departments
Objectives. To assess the use of local measures of segregation for monitoring health inequities by local health departments. Methods. We analyzed preterm birth and premature mortality (death before the age of 65 years) rates for Boston, Massachusetts, for 2010 to 2012, using the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) and the poverty rate at both the census tract and neighborhood level. Results. For premature mortality at the census tract le…
Breathe Easy at Home: A Qualitative Evaluation of a Pediatric Asthma Intervention
The Breathe Easy at Home Program enables clinicians to refer asthmatic patients to Boston Inspectional Services Department (ISD) if they suspect housing conditions trigger symptoms. The authors conducted one-on-one interviews with clinicians ( n = 10) who referred patients, and focus groups with inspectors from the ISD ( n = 9) and a variety of stakeholders ( n = 13), to gain insight into program function and implementation. Clinician interviews …
