A study of the factors that affect health-related quality of life among residents of low-income housing in Mott Haven in the Bronx, NY
This study serves as a baseline to increase the understanding on how to study the relationship between housing and HRQoL. Results suggest that older adult residents, those with multiple co-morbidities, and with disabilities need to be prioritized when developing interventions or programs in housing developents. This pilot investigation is among the few that focuses on housing developments in the Bronx and has the potential to inform how to develo…
Unveiling the master narratives of a sample of STEM students at an urban public college in New York City
This brief research report presents how rigid STEM narratives are perceived by undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds at an urban Minority Serving Institution (MSI) in NYC. This research focuses on student voices and reveals the unique challenges, motivations, and strengths they bring to STEM. A total of 15 peer to peer qualitative interviews were conducted between May and December of 2024. Content analyses using an inductive approach wa…
The First Steps to Building Research Collaborative Using Strength-Based Assessments and GIS Maps with a Sample of Community-Based Organizations in the Bronx, NY
Introduction: Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is one of the most effective strategies for conceptualizing, developing, and executing programs or interventions that address health disparities in community settings. The City University of New York (CUNY)'s Institute for Health Equity (CIHE) focuses on the social determinants that affect the physical and mental health of New York City's poor and underserved. Methods: This study utilize…
Perceptions of Violent Crime Among a Sample of Bronx College Students
Purpose: This study sought to understand how a convenient sample of college students between the ages of 20 and 35 years of age in the Bronx perceive and experience violent crime (VC). The focus of the study is on perceptions of risk and an exploration of crime prevention strategies. Methods: This project conducted two online focus groups with a sample of 24 young adults residing in the Bronx, NY, enrolled at the higher education institution in S…
Longitudinal trends (2011–2020) of premature mortality and years of potential life loss (YPLL) and associated covariates of the 62 New York State counties
The analysis clustered counties according to the longitudinal trends of the covariates, and by doing so identified clusters of counties that shared similar trends among the covariates, to later examine trends in the health outcomes through a regression model. The strength of this approach lies in the predictive feature of what is to come for the counties by understanding the covariates and setting prevention goals
National Institutes of Health R-series Grants portfolio of racism and healthcare, 2017–2022
The findings of this study showed the need for continued funding and of the need of more research on racism in healthcare, that potentially can reduce health disparities and inequities
Lessons to Build an Educational Model for Higher Education Institutions Defined as Anchor Institutions to Tackle Public Health Crises
Coronavirus disease 2019 exacerbated health inequities in Bronx Communities. This study explored vaccine hesitancy among a random sample of faculty and students from Hebert Lehman College. Findings suggest faculty are largely vaccinated (87%), while 59% of students are unvaccinated. Significant gaps in information were found related to safety and complications. This suggests universities need to adopt an educational model with a multipronged soci…
Using Economic Evaluation to Hasten Health Equity
Achieving health equity has proven elusive for two reasons. First, most research has focused on changing the behavior of individuals; however, policies that address socioeconomic factors or change the context to facilitate healthy decisions tend to be more effective. Second, health disparity science and evidence are not consistently used to guide policy makers, even those seeking health equity. In this perspective, we discuss economic evaluation …

The impact of nursing students on the health-related quality of life and perceived social support of a rural population in Ecuador
Nursing students completing their rural service rotation have the potential to improve the health-related quality of life of rural residents in Ecuador. Future research should continue to examine the impact of service-based learning on recipient populations
A Comparison of Willingness to Pay to Prevent Child Maltreatment Deaths in Ecuador and the United States
Estimating the benefits of preventing child maltreatment (CM) is essential for policy makers to determine whether there are significant returns on investment from interventions to prevent CM. The aim of this study was to estimate the benefits of preventing CM deaths in an Ecuadorian population, and to compare the results to a similar study in a US population. The study used the contingent valuation method to elicit respondents' willingness to pay…
