Redlining, Urban Heat, and Climate Hazards
Structural inequities, including historical redlining, have created compounding climate-related vulnerabilities in marginalized communities, with potential implications for pediatric cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). However, the joint effects of redlining, climate risk, and urban heat on pediatric CMD remain poorly understood. Using New York State hospital administrative data (2018–2022), we examined associations between neighborhood redlining, cl…
Within-City Average Life Expectancy “Gaps”
We characterize within-city life expectancy gaps and their correlation with social and environmental characteristics in 948 US cities. Life expectancy estimates were drawn from the US Life Expectancy Estimation Program. City life expectancy gaps were calculated by subtracting the lowest tract-level life expectancy estimate from the highest for each city. Correlations were established using Spearman's correlation coefficient. The average city-leve…
Associations between pre-pandemic housing insecurity and reports of anxiety and depression in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic
This study examined how experiences and trajectories of anxiety and depression symptoms differed by housing insecurity status among a novel large national sample. Experiencing housing insecurity prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a greater likelihood of moderate-to-severe anxiety and depression from May to July 2020, and this difference was consistent over time
Effects of a federal smoke-free housing policy on adverse birth outcomes among NYC public-housing residents
We estimated no initial effects of a federal SFH policy on risk of preterm birth or low birth weight among births to NYC public-housing residents
Strengthening tobacco control research
In this policy brief, we explore several potential drivers of heterogeneity in policy outcomes that can be examined in tobacco control policy evaluations, expanding the evidence base to contribute to continued, equitable progress in reducing tobacco-related health outcomes. We discuss these factors in the context of a hypothetical evaluation of the impact of smoke-free laws on current smoking and quit attempts in the Tobacco Nation. Despite a sim…
Variability in self-reported and biomarker-derived tobacco smoke exposure patterns among individuals who do not smoke by poverty income ratio in the USA
Homes and vehicles remain priority venues for addressing persistent TSE among individuals who do not smoke in the USA. TSE survey measures may have differential validity across population subgroups
Scale-Up of Covid-19 Testing Services in NYC, 2020–2021
State-Level Firearm Laws and Firearm Homicide in US Cities
Beyond traffic jam alleviation
New York City (NYC) is slated to be the first jurisdiction in the USA to implement a cordon-based congestion tax, which will be levied on vehicles entering its Central Business District. Several cities around the world, for example, London and Stockholm, have had similar cordon-based pricing programmes, defined as road pricing that charges drivers a fee for entering a specified area (typically a congested urban centre). In addition to reducing co…
Televised Anti-Tobacco Media and Smoking Outcomes Among Heterosexual and Sexual Minority Adults in the United States
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of smoking is higher among sexual minority (SM) individuals compared with heterosexuals. The impact of televised anti-tobacco mass media campaigns on smoking outcomes among SMs is not known. AIMS: We examined whether televised anti-tobacco advertising was differentially associated with current smoking and smoking intensity for SM and heterosexual adults. METHOD: We combined county-level anti-tobacco advertising data (gr…
Differential care-seeking behaviors during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in Michigan
Our results suggest differential utilization of healthcare services early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Further analyses are needed to examine the reasons for these differences
Associations between a Novel Measure of Census Tract-Level Credit Insecurity and Frequent Mental Distress in US Urban Areas, 2020
Exploring How Exposure to Truth and State-Sponsored Anti-Tobacco Media Campaigns Affect Smoking Disparities among Young Adults Using a National Longitudinal Dataset, 2002–2017
We found no evidence that baseline Truth and state-sponsored ad exposure was associated with first cigarette or daily smoking initiation at follow up, nor did we find any evidence for effect modification by sex, race/ethnicity, or parental education. We hypothesize that anti-tobacco media campaigns might have had a short-term impact on smoking behaviors, though these effects were not sustained long term
Cigarette taxes, prices, and disparities in current smoking in the United States
Increasing cigarette taxes has been the cornerstone of tobacco control policy. Recent work has argued that raising cigarette taxes alone may no longer be an effective strategy for lowering smoking rates. We largely confirm these findings but also find that increases in price continue to predict lower smoking participation in most model specifications. We argue that raising cigarette prices via taxation remains an effective public health policy. W…
Are sexual minority adults differentially exposed to smoke-free laws and televised anti-tobacco media campaigns compared to the general US population? A descriptive analysis
SM adults may be more likely to live in areas with smoke-free laws, compared with the general population. Findings point to the need to examine other potential drivers of smoking in SM populations
Smoke-Free Policies and Smoking Cessation in the United States, 2003–2015
(1) Background: Smoking restrictions have been shown to be associated with reduced smoking, but there are a number of gaps in the literature surrounding the relationship between smoke-free policies and cessation, including the extent to which this association may be modified by sociodemographic characteristics. (2) Methods: We analyzed data from the Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey, 2003-2015, to explore whether multiple me…
Key Factors Inhibiting Legislative Progress Toward Smoke-Free Coverage in Appalachia
The Appalachian Region has among the highest rates of smoking and smoking-related illness in the United States. Strong smoke-free legislation could help protect nonsmoking residents from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. However, there is a dearth of state, county, city, and subcounty smoke-free law coverage throughout Appalachia. As of July 2016, only 21% of Appalachian residents were covered by comprehensive smoke-free laws (i.e., 100% c…
