U.S. brain drain as local distributive justice
Persistent Poverty and Natural Hazards in the U.S. South
Solving the U.S. Social Association Geographical Puzzle
Social associations are important forms of engagement to support community health and democratic governance. The geography of social associations in the United States presents a puzzling cluster of high-rate counties in the upper Midwest and counties with low rates in the Southwest. We reviewed various definitions of social associations and analyzed the statistical correlations between them and 11 health and behavioral outcome measures they might…
Evaluating Environmental Justice and Public Housing in a Data-Rich Era
We examined the spatial concentration of public housing, demographic indicators of low socioeconomic status, and environmental locally unwanted land uses (LULUs) in eight populous U.S. cities. Using the updated EJScreen database and its geographic information systems capabilities, we, as expected, found subsidized housing to be disproportionately colocated in areas with poor and underserved residents. Underground storage tanks and high traffic de…
Environmental and Social Justice Outcomes in U.S. Cities Hosting International Expositions
A World’s Fair or International Exhibition (Expo) is designed to offer the best face of its host city, with the effort expected to bring in millions of visitors to generate a local economic boom and international prestige. Given the effort and expense required to host an Expo, we should expect the near and long-term outcomes, at least for the neighborhoods where they occur, to be positive. But are they? This paper analyses demographic, environmen…
Is Opera Part of Leisure-Oriented Redevelopment in the Largest U.S. Cities? An Empirical Assessment of a Historical Cultural Innovation
Analysis of the 25 most populated cities in the United States shows that all have at least one opera house. Most are located in the city’s downtown, near City Hall, a convention center, high-end hotels, museums, and upscale dining and shopping opportunities. Most are surrounded by high-traffic-volume roads, providing easy access for visitors. Finding a massive opera house in an older city such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles is unsurprising.…
Method
This article sets forth and illustrates a method to separate temporal changes in environmental and social justice indicators in local areas from influences at larger scales. It identifies differences that are not obvious without apportioning the results by layers. Rural Allendale County, South Carolina and the densely populated Bronx, New York are used as illustrations of temporal changes in five metrics: high school graduation rates, childhood p…
U.S. state capitol cities
This study compared public health and environmental justice indicators between the 50 U.S. state capitol cities and their host states, to similarly-sized cities in the same state, and 1-mile circular zones around the capitol complexes. Overall, capitol cities mirrored other cities of similar population sizes but were marked by more public health and environmental justice challenges, especially in the areas close to capitol domes where access to s…

Environmental Health and the U.S. Federal System
This book explains how the U.S. federal system manages environmental health issues, with a unique focus on risk management and human health outcomes. Building on a generic approach for understanding human health risk, this book shows how federalism has evolved in response to environmental health problems, political and ideological variations in Washington D.C, as well as in-state and local governments. It examines laws, rules and regulations, sho…
Advising the Newest Faces of Public Health
In the 20th century, public health education in the United States existed as a professional degree program, with training at the masters (MPH) and doctoral (PhD, DrPH, and ScD) levels. Today, the system is rapidly evolving as undergraduate majors, minors, and concentrations are establishing themselves around the country. This new focus of public health education, rooted in a liberal arts environment, is distinct from the professional training of …
Local Government Coordination of Community Food Systems in Distressed Urban Areas
This study examined public coordination of community food systems in fifteen distressed New Jersey cities with unusually high unemployment rates, large immigrant populations, high levels of poverty and an extraordinary reliance on school nutrition programs. Using key informant interviews with municipal officials and calls to school districts and city departments, we found a large variation in the ability of these city governments to coordinate fo…
Building and Sustaining a Multiuniversity and Multicampus Program or School of Public Health
Drawing from New Jersey’s successful efforts and from other less successful efforts, we offer lessons learned for those who will consider a multiuniversity and multi-campus program or school of public health. These lessons include building a faculty collaboration, senior administrative support, and external constituencies and developing a set of documents that institutionalize processes, logistics, and other operations. In our experience, buildin…
The Relationship of Health Insurance to the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma and Respiratory Problems in Children in a Predominantly Hispanic Urban Community
Objectives. As part of an asthma screening study, we evaluated the relationship of health care insurance coverage to the diagnosis and treatment of elementary school children for asthma and related respiratory problems from 1998 through 2001. Methods. A bilingual questionnaire assessing health care coverage, asthma diagnosis, respiratory symptoms, and use of medications was distributed to parents of 6235 public and private school children in grad…
School-Based Screening for Asthma in Third-Grade Urban Children
A communitywide asthma reduction health initiative targeted all third graders (n = 1052) in the public and private schools of Passaic, NJ, for the 1998–1999 school year. The objective of the initiative was to screen all third-grade children for asthma or respiratory dysfunction

Region of birth and black diets
OBJECTIVES: This study compared dietary risk factors among Southern-born and other Blacks in Central Harlem. METHODS: A survey of residents of Central Harlem was used to compute a "healthy diet" score for 621 subjects. RESULTS: Southern-born respondents had the highest-risk diets. Although their numbers were small, Caribbean-born respondents, particularly those younger than 45 years, had the lowest-risk diets. CONCLUSIONS: The variation in diets …
Middle Class Asian American Neighborhoods
We conducted a survey of 422 Asian Indian and Korean American residents of New Jersey to determine how middle-income Asian Americans rate their neighborhood environments compared to non-Asians living in the same or similar environments, and the issues that affect their neighborhood quality ratings. In addition, we interviewed practitioners in these same communities for their perceptions of their interactions with Asian Americans. The first part e…
Birth in the South and chronic disease mortality rates in the late twentiethcentury United States
Southern-born black and white Americans suffered severe economic deprivations during the first half of the twentieth century. We hypothesized that these conditions increased their risks of dying from cancer, diabetes, heart and cerebrovascular diseases. Mortality files for the years 1979 to 1991 for the United States and a specially constructed US Census population file were used to calculate age-specific and age-adjusted death rates for black an…
Region of birth, migration and homicide rates of African Americans
A study was made of all homicide deaths among black Americans during the period 1979-1991 in order to test two competing hypotheses about region of birth and region of death. One hypothesis was that Southern-born blacks had the highest homicide rates in every region of the US. The competing hypothesis was that blacks who did not migrate out of their region of birth had the highest homicide rates. We found that Southern-born blacks had the highest…
Region of birth and mortality from circulatory diseases among black Americans
OBJECTIVES: This study examines the relationship between birth-place and mortality from circulatory diseases among American Blacks. METHODS: All Black deaths from circulatory diseases (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision. codes 390 through 459) were extracted from the National Center for Health Statistics mortality detail files for 1979 through 1991. Age-specific and age-adjusted mortality rates with 95% confidence intervals we…

Environmentally Devastated Neighborhoods
Only 3% of all Americans believe they live in bad neighborhoods. But 30% to 45% of those who live in places with crime and illegal drug sales, rats and stray dogs, hazardous waste sites, factory pollution, and abandoned and blighted buildings rate their neighborhood as poor quality. Even when these neighborhoods have good schools, parks, and other amenities, their resident's ratings do not go up. This holds true no matter who is asked - young, ol…

Toads go to New Jersey
Temporarily obsolete abandoned derelict sites (TOADS) are deserted commercial, industrial and housing properties and unbuilt sites that become toxic waste dumps, makeshift housing for the homeless and crack houses for drugs. TOADS and their associated problems often spread to adjacent neighbourhoods. Using a sample of 21 mid-sized cities in New Jersey, we show that communities with a poor real estate market, many poor, minority residents and a we…

Hazardous Waste Site Cleanup and Neighborhood Redevelopment
The United States' hazardous waste site remediation programs are being challenged for lacking cost‐effectiveness. We argue that these expensive programs will be more cost‐effective and viable politically if economic and social analyses are included explicitly in risk analyses. Using data from surveys of people living within one‐half‐mile of seven hazardous waste sites, we show that some neighborhoods offer the opportunity for joint site remediati…

Dying of Cold in the Sunbelt
Given that Sunbelt states promote their images by stressing their good climate, the question arises as to how healthy their climate is for the elderly. This study compares deaths attributed to excessive cold for persons sixty years of age and over in Sunbelt and nonsunbelt states for the years 1980–1985. State mortality data are analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple correlations. Blacks of both sexes have significantly higher death rat…
