Innovative Research Framework For Strengthening Health Care And Public Health Engagement In Neighborhood Change As A Social Determinant Of Health, Christopher Williams, Nathaniel Woodard, Charlene Chao-Li Kuo
Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery
Background
Neighborhood change is a social determinant of health (SDOH) that has been associated with adverse health and increased health care utilization. The number of cities and neighborhoods undergoing intense gentrification, defined as an influx of wealthy populations into a working-class neighborhood, is not highly numerous. Public health and health systems are increasingly engaged with SDOH in community-level interventions. Pathways to study and affect NC-related health impacts are limited. This unfunded study provides a research framework to address concerns about financial investment, identifying population health needs, and community stakeholder engagement.
Methods
The authors conducted a cross-sectional pilot study in a …

Reliability, Validity, And Exploratory Factor Analyses Of Gentrification Health Research Measures, Christopher Williams, Nathaniel Woodard, Charlene Chao-Li Kuo
Advances in Clinical Medical Research and Healthcare Delivery
Background
Gentrification is a type of neighborhood change (NC) that causes demographic shifts and improvement in the built environment. Adverse health outcomes associated with NC have not been consistently established in the literature. Yet, major methodological barriers define this field of study including lack of tailored and culturally relevant measures. This aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of novel and adapted NC measures that sought to improve appropriateness for all literacy levels, to enhance survey efficiency, and to assess features of the built environment.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study in a highly gentrifying neighborhood in …
