This study aims to investigate the distribution of healthcare facilities in Nassau County, New York, and examine whether the distribution is equitable across different social vulnerability levels. An optimized hotspot analysis was conducted on a dataset of 1695 healthcare facilities—dental, dialysis, ophthalmic, and urgent care—in Nassau County, and social vulnerability was measured using the FPIS codes. The study found that healthcare facilities were disproportionately distributed in the county, with a higher concentration in areas of low social vulnerability compared to areas of high social vulnerability. The majority of healthcare facilities were found to be clustered in two ZIP codes—11020 and 11030—that rank among the top ten wealthiest in the county. The results of this study suggest that socially vulnerable residents in Nassau County are at a disadvantage when ...

In the United States, infant deaths due to sleep-related injuries have quadrupled over the past two decades. One of the major risk factors is the placement of an infant to sleep on a surface other than a crib or bassinet. This study examines contextual circumstances and knowledge and behaviors that may contribute to the placement of infants on an unsafe sleep surface in infant injury death cases. Method. This study employed a retrospective review of 255 sleep-related injury death cases in New York City from 2004 to 2010 where an infant was found sleeping on an unsafe sleep surface. Mixed-methods analyses, employing both quantitative analysis of vital statistics data and risk variables extracted from the medical examiner files and qualitative analysis of the narrative content of the files, were conducted. Results. In 48% of cases, a crib or bassinet was identified in the home. Quantitative analysis revealed no significant differences in demographic or risk factor characte...

The various types of pollution have been groundwater, air and surface water pollution and have included urban, rural, and suburban areas (such cases as Love Canal in upstate NY, Cancer Alley in New Orleans, and the North River Sewage Treatment Plant in West Harlem, NY encompass varying types of pollution in differently populated areas). Brownfields are a particular form of environmental pollution. A brownfield site is a "real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant (2).Community awareness of these practices have led to an environmental justice movement over the past two decades that has empowered community members to resist the sources of pollution and to wor...

They have been used to educate populations about health topics, including teen pregnancy, cancer screening, and substance abuse. Social determinants of health and structural inequalities are known contributors to health inequity and are a set of fundamental concepts for public health students to understand, particularly within local communities. To address this issue, a digital story was created by an instructor of undergraduate and graduate public health courses with both the instructor’s personal narrative and commentary when driving between adjacent racially segregated neighborhoods in a suburb near where she lives. The health disparities and the connection between place and health were highlighted in the narration. Public health students at a university that borders the communities featured were shown the video, pre- and posttests were administered ( n = 119) and a paire...

Physical environment is a significant factor for obesity, with residential segregation contributing to racial inequities across class lines. This study examines students’ weight perception, intention and behaviors in a racially/ethnically segregated suburban county in New York State. METHODS: BMI and BMI-%ile calculated from measured height and weight and questions from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey of 365 sixth-grade students in 2012 and 2013. Descriptive statistics, chi square analysis and logistic regression assessed associations between students’ weight status, perceptions and reported behaviors. RESULTS: Almost half (49%) of students identified as black and 38% Hispanic, and 14% white or other. Almost one-third (30%) of the students were obese, 22% overweight and a majority (69%) had a concordant perception of their weight. 25% indicated that they had fasted, and overweight/obese students were more likely to fast than those with a healthy weight (72.8% versus 27.2%, P < 0.001). Students who reported not eating breakfast were more likely to be trying to lose weight than those not trying (62.3% versus 37.7%, P < 0.012). CONCLUSION: Obesity prevalence is higher in this residentially segregated suburban middle school than the rest of the county. Most obese students accurately perceive their weight status, intend to lose weight and are more likely to adopt unhealthy weight loss strategies, i.e. skipping breakfast and fasting. Interventions need to provide students with knowledge and resources for effective and safe weight loss.
