Air pollution perception bias: Mismatch between air pollution exposure and perception of air quality in real-time contexts
This study also reveals the nonstationary association between air pollution exposure and perceived air quality. The odds of underestimating air pollution are 1.8-2.7 times as high as that in residential areas and 2.1 to 2.6 times that in transportation land-use areas when compared to commercial areas. Implementing targeted mitigation measures in these contexts can enhance public awareness of air pollution.PMID:37856949 | DOI:10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103129 (Source: Health and Place)

Using photovoice to generate policy recommendations to improve the alcohol urban environment: A participatory action research project
This study aimed to present local policy recommendations on urban determinants for alcohol consumption prevention in a low-income and a high-income area of Madrid (Spain) using a participatory action research method, with photovoice and nominal group techniques. Participants (n = 26) engaged in a photovoice project initiated a process of critical reflection by discussing and analysing their alcohol environment based on photographs they took themselves. At the end of six week group discussion sessions, participants identified 33 themes related to their alcohol environment. They later met to translate the final categories in...

The association of neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics with cardiovascular health: A quasi-experimental study of refugees to Denmark
Health Place. 2023 Oct 14;84:103128. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103128. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage is associated with cardiovascular health, although it is unclear which specific aspects of neighborhoods matter most. We leveraged a natural experiment in which refugees to Denmark were quasi-randomly assigned to neighborhoods across the country during 1986-1998, creating variation in exposure to various aspects of neighborhood disadvantage. The cohort was followed through December 2018. Exposures included neighborhood-level family income, educational attainment, unemployment, a...

Making the case for lead safe housing: Downstream effects of lead exposure on outcomes for children and youth
Health Place. 2023 Oct 13;84:103118. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103118. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLead based paint is a predominate source of lead exposure in children, which has a documented negative effect on their health and development. Despite public health efforts, the housing stock in disinvested neighborhoods in many cities continues to present significant risk of childhood lead exposure. In this article, we describe how a multi-agency integrated data system was used to document the impact of lead exposure on indicators of child and youth development as recorded in educational and human service systems.

Public space as a potential resource during reentry for formerly incarcerated people with serious mental illnesses
Health Place. 2023 Oct 12;84:103133. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103133. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Formerly incarcerated people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) are overrepresented in the criminal legal system. Professional-brokered "connecting" interventions are the predominant means for supporting community reentry, but they are vulnerable to the paucity of formalized services in areas of concentrated disadvantage. Public spaces offer unique opportunities for developing naturally occurring relationships and connecting to diverse forms of capital and resources.METHODS: This qualitative study explore...

Identifying spatial heterogeneity of COVID-19 transmission clusters and their built-environment features at the neighbourhood scale
Health Place. 2023 Oct 4;84:103130. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103130. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe identification of high-risk areas for infectious disease transmission and its built-environment features are crucial for targeted surveillance and early prevention efforts. While previous research has explored the association between infectious disease incidence and urban built environment, the investigation of spatial heterogeneity of built-environment features in high-risk areas has been insufficient. This paper aims to address this gap by analysing the spatial heterogeneity of COVID-19 clusters in Shanghai at th...
