Neighborhood-level Social Determinants of Health and Cardioprotective Behaviors among Church Members in New Orleans, Louisiana

Findings reiterate the need to address adverse neighborhood-level SDoH in the design and implementation of health interventions.PMID:38556001 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2024.03.019
