In this article, the authors draw on disciplines of sociology and environmental social epidemiology to further understanding mechanisms through which factors contribute disparate exposures health inequalities. They propose a conceptual framework for promotion that considers dynamic processes inequalities—and associated disparities—are produced, reproduced, potentially transformed.

Since the early 1800s, studies have consistently demonstrated that people higher in socioeconomic hierarchy live longer than of lower rank. One hypothesis for persistence this association is who are relatively better off more able to avoid risks by adopting currently available protective strategies. In a partial test idea, social distributions two cancer screening tests--Pap smears and mammography--were examined. A review literature an analysis Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System...
Residents of the dense urban core neighborhoods New York City (NYC) have expressed increasing concern about potential human health impacts diesel vehicle emissions. We measured concentrations particulate matter [less than/equal to] 2.5 micro in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5)) and exhaust particles (DEP) on sidewalks Harlem, NYC, tested whether spatial variations were related to local traffic density. Eight-hour (1000-1800 hr) air samples for PM(2.5 )and elemental carbon (EC) collected 5 days...
OBJECTIVES. This study was undertaken to determine whether vigorous and frail older people who identify environmental hazards in their homes have an increased risk for falls. METHODS. A 1-year prospective conducted among 266 female 59 male community-dwelling volunteers aged 60 93 years had fallen at least once during the previous year. Composite measures of home safety frailty were derived using principal components analysis. Participants divided into groups, associations between baseline...

A joint urban planning and public health perspective is articulated here for use, in impact assessment.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought individual-level data on diesel exhaust exposure and lung function among adolescents in Harlem as part of a community-driven research agenda. METHODS: High school students administered in-person surveys to seventh grade ascertain information demographics, asthma history, self-reported maternal smoking. Urine samples were assayed for 1-hydroxypyrene (1-HP), marker exposure, cotinine, tobacco smoke exposure. Computer-assisted spirometry was used measure function....
