Green space is now widely viewed as a health-promoting characteristic of residential environments, and has been linked to mental health benefits such recovery from fatigue reduced stress, particularly through experimental work in environmental psychology. Few population level studies have examined the relationships between green health. Further, few considered role non-urban settings. This study contributes population-level perspective United States examine relationship outcomes area that...
Objective: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a significant health issue in the United States and worldwide. The majority of studies on IPV have been conducted urban populations. objectives this study are to determine if prevalence, frequency, severity differ by rurality identify variance geographic access resources. Methods: A cross-sectional clinic-based survey 1478 was measure 1-year prevalence physical, sexual, psychologic IPV. intervention programs state were inventoried...
Historical structural racism may be associated with racial, ethnic, and geographic disparities in breast cancer outcomes, but few studies have investigated these potential relationships.To test associations among historical mortgage lending discrimination (using 1930s Home Owners' Loan Corporation [HOLC] redlining data), race ethnicity, tumor clinicopathologic features, survival women recently diagnosed cancer.This cohort study used a population-based, state registry to analyze...
The objective was to examine the relationship between contemporary redlining (mortgage lending bias on basis of property location) and survival among older women with breast cancer in United States.
The intersecting negative effects of structural racism, COVID-19, climate change, and chronic diseases disproportionately affect racial ethnic minorities in the US around world. Urban populations color are concentrated historically redlined, segregated, disinvested, marginalized neighborhoods with inadequate quality housing limited access to resources, including greenspaces designed support natural ecosystems healthy outdoor activities while mitigating urban environmental challenges such as...
Abstract Background Breast cancer (BC) is the most common among US women, and institutional racism a critical cause of health disparities. We investigated impacts historical redlining on BC treatment receipt survival in United States. Methods Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) boundaries were used to measure redlining. Eligible women 2010-2017 Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results–Medicare cohort assigned HOLC grade. The independent variable was dichotomized grade: A B (nonredlined) C D...
Abstract Introduction Cervical cancer continues to pose a major public health challenge in low-income countries. screening programs enable early detection and effectively reduce the incidence of cervical as well late-stage diagnosis mortality. However, uptake remains suboptimal Uganda. This study assessed correlates intention screen for among women Kyotera district Central Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data collected determine effectiveness community audio towers (CATs) modality...
Abstract Purpose Rural compared to urban populations have higher age‐adjusted injury mortality rates. We sought describe differences in traumatic mechanisms, severity, and Wisconsin adults rural areas. Methods State trauma registry data were analyzed for adult patients injured 2021–2022. The Health Innovation Program's classification scheme, consisting of advantaged, urban, underserved, rural, underserved groups, was used. Multivariable logistic regression models in‐hospital prolonged length...
To inform a city-wide youth Violence Prevention Initiative, we explored narratives about their exposure to violence gain insight into understanding of the causes and effects in communities.
