Perceptions of Knowledge and Experience in Nature-Based Health Interventions
Although perceptions and uses vary, nature-based health interventions (NBHIs) help facilitate the additional health benefits of physical activity (PA) experienced in nature, thereby reducing all-cause morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this mixed-methods, cross-sectional study was to better understand perceptions, terminology, and participation in NBHIs. A questionnaire was developed by reviewing validated instruments and gauging expert expe…
Changes in Retail Tobacco Product Availability Following a Chicago City Ordinance Restricting Sales of Menthol and Other Flavored Tobacco Products Near Schools
BACKGROUND: In April 2016, the City of Chicago implemented an ordinance restricting the sale of all flavored (including menthol) tobacco products (FTPs), including electronic cigarettes, at retailers located within 500 feet of any public, private, or alternative elementary, middle ("primary"), or high ("secondary") school. We examined changes in retail availability of FTPs from before to after policy implementation among policy-affected retailers…
Recommendations for Keeping Parks and Green Space Accessible for Mental and Physical Health During Covid-19 and Other Pandemics
The importance of engaging in any type of physical activity regularly, for both physical and mental health, is well established, and may be particularly beneficial in protecting the body and limiting the damage caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Exposure to nature or green space also has positive physical and mental health benefits. Closures of parks and green spaces during the COVID-19 pandemic has limited the options for physica…

Would increasing access to recreational places promote healthier weights and a healthier nation
Racial/ethnic and educational differences in perceptions and use of a new urban trail
Objectives: Obesity and its associated health risks are on the rise throughout the US due, in part, to an overall decline in physical activity. Although public green spaces, and in particular trails, show promise as population-level interventions to promote physical activity among adults, these amenities may have disparate impacts across racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups within a community. Design: This cross-sectional study employed an inte…
Built environment assessment
There has been significant progress in collaboration across key disciplines that contribute to studies of built environments and obesity, but important gaps remain. Using lessons from interprofessional education and team science, along with appreciation of and attention to other disciplines׳ contributions, can promote more effective cross-disciplinary collaboration in obesity prevention
The impact of state safe routes to school-related laws on active travel to school policies and practices in U.S. elementary schools
This study examined the relationship between state laws requiring minimum bussing distances, hazardous route exemptions, sidewalks, crossing guards, speed zones, and traffic control measures around schools and active travel to school (ATS) policies/practices in nationally representative samples of U.S. public elementary schools between 2007-2009. The state laws and school data were compiled through primary legal research and annual mail-back surv…
Tobacco Industry Marketing at Point of Purchase After the 1998 MSA Billboard Advertising Ban
Point-of-purchase marketing has become increasingly important for the tobacco industry in the United States.1 In the wake of the 1998 master settlement agreement (MSA) that required tobacco advertising on billboards across the country to end on April 24, 1999, the point-of-purchase environment is likely to assume even greater importance in the industry's marketing efforts. One goal of the billboard advertising ban (as well as other MSA advertisin…
