A Novel Statewide Network-Based Environmental Justice and Climate Change Advocacy Training Program for Future Health Leaders
The climate crisis is an existential threat that has disparate adverse health impacts on low-income and communities of color. Effective solutions require innovative tools to promote interdisciplinary training for future health leaders, yet these topics are often omitted from traditional medical school curricula. The New York State Children’s Environmental Health Centers (NYSCHECK), a network of seven medical centers, community partners, and stake…
Speaking with One Voice
Building New York State Centers of Excellence in Children’s Environmental Health
Public health programs may be seriously affected in periods of federal retrenchment. During these times, state-based strategies provide an alternate pathway for advancing public health. A 12-year campaign to secure state support for a network of Centers of Excellence in Children’s Environmental Health (CEH) promoting health of children across New York State is described. It was driven by rising rates of asthma, birth defects, developmental disord…
Climate Change and Schools
The changing climate is creating additional challenges in maintaining a healthy school environment in the United States (U.S.) where over 50 million people, mostly children, spend approximately a third of their waking hours. Chronic low prioritization of funds and resources to support environmental health in schools and lack of clear regulatory oversight in the U.S. undergird the new risks from climate change. We illustrate the extent of risk and…
Accelerators
Development and implementation of effective, sustainable, and scalable interventions that advance equity could be propelled by innovative and inclusive partnerships. Readied catalytic frameworks that foster communication, collaboration, a shared vision, and transformative translational research across scientific and non-scientific divides are needed to foster rapid generation of novel solutions to address and ultimately eliminate disparities. To …
Are Parental Perceptions of Child Activity Levels and Overall Health More Important than Perceptions of Weight
Breastfeeding Versus Formula-Feeding and Girls’ Pubertal Development
Local food environments are associated with girls’ energy, sugar-sweetened beverage and snack-food intakes
Objective To describe availability and frequency of use of local snack-food outlets and determine whether reported use of these outlets was associated with dietary intakes. Design Data were cross-sectional. Availability and frequency of use of three types of local snack-food outlets were reported. Daily dietary intakes were based on the average of up to four 24 h dietary recalls. Multivariable linear regression models estimated average daily inta…
The Association between Parental Perception of Neighborhood Safety and Asthma Diagnosis in Ethnic Minority Urban Children
U.S. Childhood Obesity and Climate Change
This article focuses on the epidemic of childhood obesity, a significant cause of pediatric morbidity in the United States. It begins with a review of the evidence regarding environmental influences on obesity. Then it draws from that evidence to cite examples of climate change prevention and preparedness efforts that could also benefit the obesity problem. Climate change is a global environmental issue predicted to negatively impact children's h…
Race and food store availability in an inner-city neighbourhood
Background A growing body of research has shown that disparities in resources, including food stores, exist at the neighbourhood level and the greatest disparities are seen in minority neighbourhoods, the same neighbourhoods at increased risk of obesity and diabetes. Less is known about whether differences in availability of resources by African American or Latino race/ethnicity exist within a single minority community. Objective The present stud…
