The lack of progress in reducing health disparities suggests that new approaches are needed if we to achieve meaningful, equitable, and lasting reductions. Current scientific paradigms do not adequately capture the complexity relationships between environment, personal population level disparities. public exposome is presented as a universal exposure tracking framework for integrating complex exogenous endogenous exposures across lifespan from conception death. It uses social-ecological...
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a well-established risk factor for public health. To support both health assessment and epidemiological studies, data are needed on spatial temporal patterns of PM2.5 exposures. This review article surveys publicly available exposure datasets surface mass concentrations over the contiguous U.S., summarizes their applications limitations, provides suggestions future research needs. The complex landscape satellite instruments, model capabilities, monitor...
Studies of the effect air pollution on cognitive health are often limited to populations living near cities that have monitoring stations. Little is known about whether estimates from such studies can be generalized U.S. population, or relationship differs between urban and rural areas. To address these questions, we used a satellite-derived estimate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration determine PM2.5 was associated with incident impairment in geographically diverse, biracial US...
Smoke impacts from large wildfires are mounting, and the projection is for more such events in future as one experienced October 2017 Northern California, subsequently 2018 2020. Further, evidence growing about health these which also difficult to simulate. Therefore, we simulated air quality conditions using a suite of remotely-sensed data, surface observational chemical transport modeling with WRF-CMAQ, data fusion, three machine learning methods arrive at datasets useful impact analyses....
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and nurse-nurse collaboration among registered nurses in Jordan.This used a cross-sectional, quantitative survey design query 342 who worked two hospitals Jordan.We Arabic versions valid, reliable instruments measure communication.A total 311 questionnaires were returned (91% response rate). Nurses' positively significantly correlated with subscales. results also indicated statistically significant mean...
We describe a remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS)-based study that has three objectives: (1) characterize fine particulate matter (PM2.5), insolation land surface temperature (LST) using NASA satellite observations, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ground-level monitor data North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) products on national scale; (2) link these with public health from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort...
Abstract Ambient exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is one of the top global health concerns. We estimate PM -related benefits emission reduction over New York State (NYS) from 2002 2012 using seven publicly available products that include information ground-based observations, remote sensing and chemical transport models. While these differ in spatial patterns, they show consistent decreases by 28%–37% 2012. evaluate two sets independent observations City Community Air Quality...
Turbidity is a commonly-used index of the factors that determine light penetration in water column. Consistent estimation turbidity crucial to design environmental and restoration management plans, predict fate possible pollutants, estimate sedimentary fluxes into ocean. Traditional methods monitoring fixed geographical locations at intervals may not be representative mean estuaries between intervals, can expensive time consuming. Although remote sensing offers good solution this limitation,...
A public participatory geographical information systems (PPGIS) demographic, environmental, socioeconomic, health status portal was developed for the Stambaugh-Elwood (SE) community in Columbus, OH. We hypothesized that soil at SE residences would have metal concentrations above natural background levels. Three aims were allowed testing of this hypothesis. Aim 1 focused on establishing partnerships between academia, state agencies and communities to assist development a voice. 2 design...
Aims This study aimed to examine the relationship between Emotional intelligence (EI) and intent stay identify their correlates among nurses. Background EI plays a significant role in nurses' practice, relationships, behaviours decisions. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional was conducted with sample of 280 registered nurses working public, private university hospital Jordan. self-administered questionnaire used collect data from participants. Results significantly correlated (r = .427, p...
Tropical cyclone epidemiology can be advanced through exposure assessment methods that are comprehensive and consistent across space time, as these facilitate multiyear, multistorm studies. Further, an understanding of patterns in between metrics based on specific hazards the storm help designing tropical epidemiological research. a) Provide open-source data set for research; b) investigate agreement county-level assessments different hazards. We created with at county level to four hazards:...
Although injuries experienced during hurricanes and other tropical cyclones have been relatively well-characterized through traditional surveillance, less is known about cyclones' impacts on noninjury morbidity, which can be triggered pathways that include psychosocial stress or interruption in medical treatment.We investigated daily emergency Medicare hospitalizations (1999-2010) 180 US counties, drawing an existing cohort of high-population counties. We classified counties as exposed to...
This study describes and demonstrates different techniques for surface fitting daily environmental hazards data of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microm (PM2.5) the purpose integrating respiratory health Centers Disease Control Prevention (CDC) pilot Health Environment Linked Information Exchange (HELIX)-Atlanta. It presents a methodology estimating spatial surfaces ground-level PM2.5 concentrations using B-Spline inverse distance weighting (IDW)...
Background— Geographic variations in cardiovascular mortality are substantial, but descriptions of geographic major risk factors have relied on data aggregated to counties. Herein, we provide the first description variation prevalence hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking within across US Methods Results— We conducted a cross-sectional analysis baseline factor measurements latitude/longitude participant residence collected from 2003 2007 REGARDS study (Reasons for Racial Differences...
Worldwide, coral reef ecosystems are being increasingly threatened by sediments loads from river discharges, which in turn influenced changing rainfall patterns due to climate change and growing human activity their watersheds. In this case study, we explored the applicability of using remote sensing (RS) technology estimate monitor relationship between water quality at reefs around Rosario Islands, Caribbean Sea, Magdalena River watershed. From Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer...
Regional National Weather Service (NWS) heat advisory criteria in New York State (NYS) were based on frequency of events estimated by sparse monitoring data. These may not accurately reflect temperatures at which specific health risks occur large geographic regions. The objectives the study to use spatially resolved temperature data characterize related summertime exposure and estimate excessive risk heat-related adverse occurs NYS. We also evaluated need adjust current threshold messaging...

Background: Parenting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is widely identified to be associated life-long impairment in parents’ quality of life (QoL). However, there has been little information on the QoL parents ASD Jordanian context. Objective: This study aimed assess among mothers and fathers who have Jordan identify factors it. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, respondents were attending rehabilitation centers Amman. Data collected from 206 participants using a validated...
