Disparities in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Incidence by Race/Ethnicity and Area-Based Socioeconomic Status
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare type of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). This study uses population-based data from the New Jersey (NJ) State Cancer Registry to examine geographic variation in CTCL incidence and evaluates whether CTCL risk varies by race/ethnicity and census tract socioeconomic status (SES). The study included 1163 cases diagnosed in NJ between 2006 and 2014. Geographic variation and possible clustering of high C…
Ethnic enclaves and colon cancer stage at diagnosis among New Jersey Hispanics
Multi-hazard risk analysis for the U.S. Department of the Interior
An integral part of disaster risk management is identifying and prioritizing hazards and their potential impacts in a meaningful way to support risk-reduction planning. There has been considerable use and subsequent criticism of threat prioritization efforts that simply compare likelihoods and consequences of plausible threats. This article summarizes a new mixed-methods and scalable approach for prioritizing risks in a multi-hazard, multi-object…
Examining socio-spatial mobility patterns among colon cancer patients after diagnosis
Given the growing number of cancer survivors, it is important to better understand socio-spatial mobility patterns of cancer patients after diagnosis that could have public health implications regarding post-diagnostic access to care for treatment and follow-up surveillance. In this exploratory study, residential histories from LexisNexis were linked to New Jersey colon cancer cases diagnosed from 2006 to 2011 to examine differences in socio-spat…
The intersection of adverse childhood experiences and neighborhood determinants of health
Findings suggest future work may benefit from considering neighborhood environments when examining and intervening upon the association between ACEs and poor physical and psychological health. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
The Intersection of Neighborhood Environment and Adverse Childhood Experiences
This study evaluated methods for creating a neighborhood adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) index, a composite measure that captures the association between neighborhood environment characteristics (e.g., crime, healthcare access) and individual-level ACEs exposure, for a particular population. A neighborhood ACEs index can help understand and address neighborhood-level influences on health among individuals affected by ACEs. Methods entailed c…
Measuring Neighborhood Landscapes
Landscape characteristics have been shown to influence health outcomes, but few studies have examined their relationship with cancer survival. We used data from the National Land Cover Database to examine associations between regional-stage colon cancer survival and 27 different landscape metrics. The study population included all adult New Jersey residents diagnosed between 2006 and 2011. Cases were followed until 31 December 2016 (N = 3949). Pa…
Towards precision public health
We introduce a quantitative assessment of PPH by applying established sensitivity/specificity assessments to geospatial data. Coupling existing disease cluster and nSES data can more precisely identify intervention targets with a liver cancer burden than standard demographic variables. Thus, this approach may inform prioritization of limited resources for liver cancer prevention
Liver Cancer Incidence and Area-Level Geographic Disparities in Pennsylvania—A Geo-Additive Approach
Many neighborhood socioeconomic index measures (nSES) that capture neighborhood deprivation exist but the impact of measure selection on liver cancer (LC) geographic disparities remains unclear. We introduce a Bayesian geoadditive modeling approach to identify clusters in Pennsylvania (PA) with higher than expected LC incidence rates, adjusted for individual-level factors (age, sex, race, diagnosis year) and compared them to models with 7 differe…
Tobacco Retail Licensing and Density 3 Years After License Regulations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2012–2019)
Objectives. To evaluate changes in licensed tobacco retailers and retailer density 5 years before and 3 years after novel tobacco retailer licensing regulations were implemented in a large, urban area. Methods. We used administrative tobacco license data (n = 23 806 licenses, 2012–2019) to calculate (1) annual retailer density by district (n = 18), (2) density by district and school income status, and (3) retailers within 500 feet of schools (n =…
HPV Vaccination Coverage Among US Teens Across the Rural‐Urban Continuum
BACKGROUND: In this study, we used data from the National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen) to examine HPV vaccination uptake by rural and urban residence defined by ZIP code. METHODS: We used 2012-2013 NIS-Teen data to examine associations of HPV vaccination among teens aged 13-17 years with ZIP code measures of rural/urban (Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) codes, population density). Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the…
Geographic Imputation of Missing Activity Space Data from Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) GPS Positions
This research presents a pilot study to develop and compare methods of geographic imputation for estimating the location of missing activity space data collected using geographic ecological momentary assessment (GEMA). As a demonstration, we use data from a previously published analysis of the effect of neighborhood disadvantage, captured at the U.S. Census Bureau tract level, on momentary psychological stress among a sample of 137 urban adolesce…
Area-based socioeconomic factors and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among teen boys in the United States
Higher HPV vaccination coverage in urban areas and among racial/ethnic minorities in areas with high poverty may be attributable to factors such as vaccine acceptance, health-care practices, and their access to HPV vaccines through the Vaccines for Children Program, which provides free vaccines to uninsured and under-insured children. Given the low HPV vaccination rates among boys in the U.S., these results provide important evidence to inform pu…

Factors associated with desire for children among HIV-infected women and men
Improved health outcomes have resulted in people with HIV facing decisions about childbearing. We sought to understand the factors associated with desire for a child among men and women in Malawi. HIV-infected men and women ages 18-40 were invited to participate in a brief interview about fertility desires. Single variable logistic regression was used to evaluate the factors associated with the outcome of fertility desire. Additionally, multiple …
Residential Racial Composition and Black-White Obesity Risks
This study investigates the association between neighborhood racial composition and adult obesity risks by race and gender, and explores whether neighborhood social and built environment mediates the observed protective or detrimental effects of racial composition on obesity risks. Cross-sectional data from the 2006 and 2008 Southeastern Pennsylvania Household Health Survey are merged with census-tract profiles from 2005-2009 American Community S…
Slaves to a Debt”
This essay examines the language of shame and honor in the jeremiads of Barack Obama and the anti-Obama right. The jeremiad imagines America at a crossroads between the path of shame—where we become “a story and a by-word through the world”—and the path of honor. A brief history of the American jeremiad shows that the anti-slavery jeremiad transformed its dynamic of shame from an instrument of socialization into an indictment of hypocrisy against…
