Authors conducted difference-in-differences analyses comparing changes in neighborhood health characteristics (walkability, food access, socio-economic vulnerability, and life expectancy) for U.S. households moving into shared equity homeownership between 1997 and 2017 compared to households moving into traditional homeownership and those continuing to rent.

This study examines the impact of gentrification exposure on hypertension and diabetes control. Using data from adults in low-socioeconomic status (SES) areas in 2014, the authors analyze the influence of gentrification occurring between 2015 and 2019 on disease control in 2019, while considering factors such as residential moves, race, ethnicity, and age.

Studies conducted before, during, and immediately after the 2007–2010 foreclosure crisis found that while homeownership is associated with better health-related outcomes for white households, that association is weaker or non-existent for African-American and Latinx households. Authors examine the relationship between homeownership and health and whether that relationship differs by race/ethnicity in the period since the foreclosure crisis.

Researchers examine how American culture, characterized by individualism and consumerism, impedes public health efforts. They identify ten areas where cultural values contribute to negative health outcomes, including underinvestment in public health and punitive responses to addiction.

Stable, affordable housing is an established determinant of health. As affordable housing shortages across the USA threaten to displace people from their homes, it is important to understand the implications of cost-related residential moves for health care access. Authors examine the relationship between cost-related moves and unmet medical needs. Authors studied respondents ages 18 and older and used data from 2011–2017 California Health Interview Surveys (CHIS).

Unhealthy eating is a complex-system problem. The authors used agent-based modeling to examine the effects of different policies on unhealthy eating behaviors. Authors developed an agent-based simulation model to represent a synthetic population of adults in Pasadena, Calif., and how they make dietary decisions. Data from the 2007 Food Attitudes and Behaviors Survey and other empirical studies were used to calibrate the parameters of the model.
