Abstract Air pollution levels are uneven within cities, contributing to persistent health disparities between neighborhoods and population sub‐groups. Highly spatially resolved information on disease rates is necessary characterize inequities in air exposure related risks. We leverage recent advances deriving surface from satellite remote sensing granular data for one city, Washington, DC, assess intra‐urban heterogeneity fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 )‐ attributable mortality morbidity....
While ambitious carbon reduction policies are needed to avoid dangerous levels of climate change, the costs these can be balanced by wide ranging health benefits for local communities. Cities, responsible ~70% world's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and home a growing majority population, offer enormous opportunities both action improvement. We aim review current state knowledge on key pathways leading from mitigation human benefits, evaluate our ability quantify cities around world. For...
Household air pollution is one of the leading causes death and disease globally. Emerging evidence elevated risk neonatal has been reported in Africa South Asia. However, on extent problem Latin America limited despite persistent use highly polluting cooking fuels. We assessed whether high-polluting household fuels increases compared to low-polluting Colombia.
There is a dearth of effective, evidence-based programming to support youth experiencing homelessness, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where the majority these young people live. Programs focused on engagement leadership appear be promising means effectively engage promote positive outcomes this population. By Youth for (BYFY) peer-led framework developed engagement, empowerment, skill development. To date, BYFY has been successfully implemented with process outcome...

Background: Ambient air pollution in cities is of growing concern as urbanization and economic development continue, yet many lack information on local exposure levels health impacts, both which are needed to make evidence-based mitigation decisions. Remote sensing Earth system models, though widely used for assessing impacts globally, could be particular value targeted assessment exposures where there high population density but sparse ground-based monitoring stations.Methods: We resolution...
Background: Expanding green space can help mitigate climate change and improve public health in urban settings. Epidemiological meta-analyses have demonstrated that increased exposure to improves outcomes by increasing physical activity, improving mental health, decreasing all-cause mortality. Washington, DC, has a large degree of environmental inequality, with life expectancy neighborhood ranging from 68.2 89.3 years, for example.The objective this study is assess current neighborhood-level...
