The Association of Religious Clusters and Geographic Region With Depressive Symptoms, Daily Hassles, and Daily Uplifts in African American Men
Religiosity is central in the lives of many African Americans, with notable geographic variation in religious involvement throughout the United States (US). Using cluster analyses, we examined associations of religious clusters and geographic region with mental health in a sample of African American men. Participants from a national survey of religion and health completed six measures of religiosity and measures of depressive symptoms, daily hass…

A longitudinal assessment of racial and ethnic inequities in food environment exposure and retail market concentration
Objective: This paper assesses trends in food environment and market concentration and racial and ethnic inequities in food environment exposure and food retail market concentration at the US census tract level from 2000 to 2019. Design: Establishment-level data from the National Establishment Time Series were used to measure food environment exposure and food retail market concentration. We linked that dataset to race, ethnicity and social vulne…
A longitudinal study of social, religious, and spiritual capital and physical and emotional functioning in a national sample of African–Americans
The present study builds on prior research by examining the moderating relationships between different types of capital on physical functioning, emotional functioning, and depressive symptoms using a 2.5‐year longitudinal design with a national sample of African–American adults. Results indicated a significant T1 social capital × T1 religious capital interaction such that among low T1 religious capital participants, those with high T1 social capi…
Social Support as a Mediator of the Personality-Physical Functioning Relationship in a National Sample of African Americans
The present study investigates whether social support mediates the relationship between personality traits and physical functioning among African Americans over 2.5 years. Data were collected from a national probability sample of African American adults (analytic sample N = 312). Telephone surveys included measures of the five-factor model personality traits, social support, and physical functioning. Personality traits were assessed at Time 1 (T1…
Combining Geospatial Analysis with HIV Care Continuum to Identify Differential HIV/Aids Treatment Indicators in Uganda
To control the HIV epidemic at the population level, a 90–90–90 target has been proposed for sub-Saharan Africa, whereby 90 percent of people living with HIV (PLH) should know their HIV status, 90 percent of those diagnosed should be receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 90 percent of those on ART should achieve viral suppression (VS). VS occurs when ART reduces the viral load of PLH to an undetectable level with minimal risk of new infecti…

Marital Status and Depressive Symptoms in African Americans
We examined the gendered role of social and religious resources in the association between marital status and depressive symptoms among a national probability sample of predominantly midlife and older African American adults ( N = 800). Greater levels of depressive symptoms were found for unmarried compared to married. A significant three-way interaction between marital status, gender, and resource variable was found only for religious social sup…

A Longitudinal Examination of Social Support as a Mediator of the Personality-Health Relationship in a National Sample of African Americans
The present study investigated whether social support mediated the relationship between personality traits and health among African Americans over a 5-year period, filling a gap in the literature on longitudinal tests of the personality-health association. Data were collected from a national probability sample of African American adults ( N = 200). Personality was assessed at Time 1 (T1), social support was assessed 2.5 years later (T2), and phys…
Associations between Body Mass Index and Urban “Green” Streetscape in Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Public health researchers are increasingly interested in assessing the impact of neighborhood environment on physical activities and chronic health issues among humans. Walkable streets and proximity to green space have long been believed to promote active lifestyles in cities, which contribute to positive health outcomes among residents. Traditionally, urban environmental metrics were calculated at the area level to describe the physical environ…

What are we ‘tweeting’ about obesity? Mapping tweets with topic modeling and Geographic Information System
Public health related tweets are difficult to identify in large conversational datasets like Twitter.com. Even more challenging is the visualization and analyses of the spatial patterns encoded in tweets. This study has the following objectives: How can topic modeling be used to identify relevant public health topics such as obesity on Twitter.com? What are the common obesity related themes? What is the spatial pattern of the themes? What are the…
Using a neural network for mining interpretable relationships of West Nile risk factors
Delineating West Nile Virus Transmission Cycles at Various Scales
Various approaches are used to identify West Nile virus (WNV) exposure areas, including unusual sightings of infected dead birds, mosquito pools or human cases both prospectively and retrospectively. A significant and largely unmet need in WNV research is to incorporate the temporal characterization of virus spread and locational information of the three components of transmission cycle-i.e., birds (reservoir), mosquitoes (vector), and humans (ho…
Parcel Data for Research and Policy
Parcel data, or information about individual plots of land, may be used to examine a broad range of social and environmental issues. While analog parcel information has long been available, the move towards digital georeferenced data offers a more readily available means of using detailed structural and land use information. Parcels map onto useful units of analysis such as individuals and households, and serve as the foci of policy institutions …
