Understanding the burden of poor health outcomes among climate-related migrant populations in Sub-Saharan Africa
Associations between historical redlining and BMI
It is unknown whether living in neighborhoods historically rated as "high-risk" mortgage by lenders (i.e., "redlining") defined by maps of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) neighborhood ratings may associate with obesity through neighborhood factors and health behaviors, or how such associations might differ by race and gender. We used data from the 1985-86 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study to test whether ret…
Exploring the Lived Experience of Healthcare Discrimination and Resilience among Postpartum African American Women
African American women are at higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) than women in other racial and ethnic groups in the United States, which can lead to an increased risk of maternal mortality and morbidity. These disparities have been attributed to inequities in social determinants of health. This study explores the experiences of healthcare discrimination and resilience among African American women. From December 2023 to August 2024,…
A comparison of traumatic injury characteristics in rural and urban adults living in Wisconsin
PURPOSE: Rural compared to urban populations have higher age-adjusted injury mortality rates. We sought to describe differences in traumatic injury mechanisms, severity, and mortality in Wisconsin adults in rural and urban areas. METHODS: State trauma registry data were analyzed for adult patients injured in 2021-2022. The Wisconsin Health Innovation Program's rural and urban classification scheme, consisting of urban advantaged, urban, urban und…
They tossed me up like a ball”
Our study reveals important and substantial gaps in the current healthcare system in Uganda. The main perceived health system challenges were its affordability and 'approachability' among residents of informal settlements. GHIs drain resources from the national health system and neglect coverage for non-priority diseases. We call upon policymakers to re-prioritize and respond to these health system challenges
Geographic access to lung cancer screening and environmental lung cancer risk factors in the contiguous United States
Our results suggest that accessibility to LCSF in the U.S. is generally aligned with environmental risk factors for lung cancer, with the exception of micropolitan areas or small cities, where higher PM2.5 areas had lower screening access. It is worth considering how environmental risk factors may be incorporated into lung cancer screening programs
Effects of urban greenspace on time to major adverse cardiovascular events among women with breast cancer in the US
Intersections among housing, environmental conditions, and health equity
Housing and environment are important influences on health, wellbeing, and a strong sense of community. Housing and environmental features can have both health promoting and hazardous impacts on communities. Present day health inequities in housing and environmental conditions in the United States are linked with historic redlining, unfair zoning decisions, segregation, and restrictive housing covenants, with similar phenomena occurring in other …
The impact of environmental conditions on non-communicable diseases in sub-Saharan Africa
Background: The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is increasing. Environmental conditions such as heavy metals and air pollution have been linked with the incidence and mortality of chronic diseases such as cancer, as well as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. We aimed to scope the current state of evidence on the impact of environmental conditions on NCDs in SSA. Methods: We conducted a scoping review t…
Automatic Removal of Non-Architectural Elements in 3D Models of Historic Buildings with Language Embedded Radiance Fields
Neural radiance fields have emerged as a dominant paradigm for creating complex 3D environments incorporating synthetic novel views. However, 3D object removal applications utilizing neural radiance fields have lagged behind in effectiveness, particularly when open set queries are necessary for determining the relevant objects. One such application area is in architectural heritage preservation, where the automatic removal of non-architectural ob…
The effects of contemporary redlining on the mental health of Black residents
Understanding how structural racism, including institutionalized practices such as redlining, influence persistent inequities in health and neighborhood conditions is still emerging in urban health research. Such research often focuses on historical practices, giving the impression that such practices are a thing of the past. However, mortgage lending bias can be readily detected in contemporary datasets and is an active form of structural racism…
Intimate partner violence and antenatal care utilization predictors in Uganda
Addressing enabling and healthcare system/environmental factors may increase ANC utilization among Ugandan women experiencing IPV. Prevention and response interventions for IPV should include strategies to increase girls' higher education completion rates, improve women's financial autonomy, and mass media exposure to improve ANC utilization in similar populations in Uganda

Discourse analysis of the perceptions of environmental justice and respiratory health disparities in Dallas, TX
This article examines the perceived relationships between environmental justice and health disparities among minority populations in the Dallas, TX metropolitan area. We study the varying discourses on EJ and respiratory health disparities, and how the local discourses are different from what is understood by planners and environmental advocates. We also ask how a participatory approach can provide an inclusive platform to strengthen the efforts …
High-resolution disease maps for cancer control in low-resource settings
Background: The global burden of cervical cancer is concentrated in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), with the greatest burden in Africa. Targeting limited resources to populations with the greatest need to maximize impact is essential. The objectives of this study were to geocode cervical cancer data from a population-based cancer registry in Kampala, Uganda, to create high-resolution disease maps for cervical cancer prevention and contro…
Persistence of mortgage lending bias in the United States
Housing discrimination and racial segregation have a long history in the United States. The 1930's Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) "residential security maps," recently digitized, have become a popular visualization of Depression era mortgage lending risk patterns across American cities. Numerous housing policies have since been instituted, including the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), but mortgage lending bias persists. The degree to w…
Exposure to socioenvironmental stress as a predictor of physical and mental health
The literature demonstrates links between socioenvironmental characteristics, dysregulation of the stress response system, and PTSD, though few studies integrate these factors in one model. In a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected by the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin (SHOW), structural equation modeling evaluated the relationships between socioenvironmental stress, cumulative biological risk (CBR), and PTSD symptom severity. …
Residential history in cancer research
There is a rise in attention to residential history in cancer epidemiology aimed at more effective estimation of social and physical environmental exposures and the influence of place of residence on cancer outcomes. However, in the United States, as in many other countries, residential history data are not readily available. In this paper we explore the feasibility of using the annual Medicare billing ZIP code history available in the SEER-Medic…
Ecological Study of Variability in the Relationship between Liver Cancer Mortality and Racial Residential Segregation
Racial segregation has been identified as a predictor for the burden of cancer in several different metropolitan areas across the United States. This ecological study tested relationships between racial segregation and liver cancer mortality across several different metropolitan statistical areas in Wisconsin. Tract-level liver cancer mortality rates were calculated using cases from 2003-2012. Hotspot analysis was conducted and segregation scores…
Resilience and Equity in a Time of Crises
The intersecting negative effects of structural racism, COVID-19, climate change, and chronic diseases disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities in the US and around the world. Urban populations of color are concentrated in historically redlined, segregated, disinvested, and marginalized neighborhoods with inadequate quality housing and limited access to resources, including quality greenspaces designed to support natural ecosystems …

Health Disparities and the Future of Environmental Justice Advocacy
The unequal burden of environmental hazards in minority communities has been widely studied in environmental justice (EJ) research, mainly motivated by health disparities among minority populations. This article provides an overview of EJ legislation, policies and trends, and potential future directions. First, we examine EJ policies and legislation introduced in the United States as a measure of political attitudes to provide a big picture of th…
Informal workplaces and their comparative effects on the health of street vendors and home-based garment workers in Yangon, Myanmar
While informal employment is universally characterized by lack of social protection, exposure to occupational health and income risks for subpopulations of informal workers is determined by the specific physical and social environments of their workplaces. Efforts to improve the health of informal workers should consider the contexts in which informal work takes place to develop tailored interventions for subpopulations of informal workers

The Impact of Data Suppression on Local Mortality Rates
CDC WONDER (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) is the nation’s primary data repository for health statistics. Before WONDER data are released to the public, data cells with fewer than 10 case counts are suppressed. We showed that maps produced from suppressed data have predictable geographic biases that can be removed by applying population data in the system and an algorithm that uses …
Five Essential Properties of Disease Maps
We argue that as the disease map user group grows, disease maps must prioritize several essential properties that support public health uses of disease maps. We identify and describe five important properties of disease maps that will produce maps appropriate for public health purposes: (1) Control the population basis of spatial support for estimating rates, (2) display rates continuously through space, (3) provide maximum geographic detail acro…
Rural Disparity in Domestic Violence Prevalence and Access to Resources
OBJECTIVE: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a significant health issue in the United States and worldwide. The majority of studies on IPV have been conducted in urban populations. The objectives of this study are to determine if prevalence, frequency, and severity of IPV differ by rurality and to identify variance in geographic access to IPV resources. METHODS: A cross-sectional clinic-based survey of 1478 women was conducted to m…

Characteristics of the Residential Neighborhood Environment Differentiate Intimate Partner Femicide in Urban Versus Rural Settings
PURPOSE: A growing body of work examines the association between neighborhood environment and intimate partner violence (IPV). As in the larger literature examining the influence of place context on health, rural settings are understudied and urban and rural residential environments are rarely compared. In addition, despite increased attention to the linkages between neighborhood environment and IPV, few studies have examined the influence of nei…
Youth Exposure to Violence in an Urban Setting
To inform a city-wide youth Violence Prevention Initiative, we explored youth narratives about their exposure to violence to gain insight into their understanding of the causes and effects of violence in their communities. At-risk youth were recruited through street outreach for individual interviews and focus group sessions. Types of experiential violence identified included (1) street, (2) family/interpersonal, (3) school, (4) indirect exposure…
Exposure to Neighborhood Green Space and Mental Health
Green space is now widely viewed as a health-promoting characteristic of residential environments, and has been linked to mental health benefits such as recovery from mental fatigue and reduced stress, particularly through experimental work in environmental psychology. Few population level studies have examined the relationships between green space and mental health. Further, few studies have considered the role of green space in non-urban settin…

Neighborhood Environment and Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important global public health problem, affecting women across the life span and increasing risk for a number of unfavorable health outcomes. Typically conceptualized as a private form of violence, most research has focused on individual-level risk markers. Recently, more scholarly attention has been paid to the role that the residential neighborhood environment may play in influencing the occurrence of IPV. …
More than a Pretty Place
Our work assessed the influence of an urban environmental education program on children's attitudes toward outdoor play, as well as knowledge of neighborhood features that can facilitate this type of activity. The project team engaged 6 schools near the newest Urban Ecology Center location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, through a community-academic partnership entitled More Than a Pretty Place. Intervention classrooms participated in programming o…
