Alcohol outlets and clusters of violence
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-12 - 2011
Alcohol related violence continues to be a major public health problem in the United States. In particular, there is substantial evidence of an association between alcohol outlets and assault. However, because the specific geographic relationships between alcohol outlets and the distribution of violence remains obscured, it is important to identify the spatial linkages that may exist, enhancing pu...... hiện toàn bộ
Using simple agent-based modeling to inform and enhance neighborhood walkability
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-10 - 2013
Pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods with proximal destinations and services encourage walking and decrease car dependence, thereby contributing to more active and healthier communities. Proximity to key destinations and services is an important aspect of the urban design decision making process, particularly in areas adopting a transit-oriented development (TOD) approach to urban planning, whereby d...... hiện toàn bộ
A suite of methods for representing activity space in a healthcare accessibility study
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 4 - Trang 1-21 - 2005
"Activity space" has been used to examine how people's habitual movements interact with their environment, and can be used to examine accessibility to healthcare opportunities. Traditionally, the standard deviational ellipse (SDE), a Euclidean measure, has been used to represent activity space. We describe the construction and application of the SDE at one and two standard deviations, and three ad...... hiện toàn bộ
Testing for clustering at many ranges inflates family-wise error rate (FWE)

On the road to personalised and precision geomedicine: medical geology and a renewed call for interdisciplinarity
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 1-12 - 2016
Our health depends on where we currently live, as well as on where we have lived in the past and for how long in each place. An individual’s place history is particularly relevant in conditions with long latency between exposures and clinical manifestations, as is the case in many types of cancer and chronic conditions. A patient’s geographic history should routinely be considered by physicians wh...... hiện toàn bộ
Studying relationships between environment and malaria incidence in Camopi (French Guiana) through the objective selection of buffer-based landscape characterisations
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-13 - 2011
Malaria remains a major health problem in French Guiana, with a mean of 3800 cases each year. A previous study in Camopi, an Amerindian village on the Oyapock River, highlighted the major contribution of environmental features to the incidence of malaria attacks. We propose a method for the objective selection of the best multivariate peridomestic landscape characterisation that maximises the chan...... hiện toàn bộ
The case of Montréal's missing food deserts: Evaluation of accessibility to food supermarkets
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-13 - 2007
Access to varied, healthy and inexpensive foods is an important public health concern that has been widely documented. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in identifying food deserts, that is, socially deprived areas within cities that have poor access to food retailers. In this paper we propose a methodology based on three measures of accessibility to supermarkets calculated using geogr...... hiện toàn bộ
Validity and feasibility of a satellite imagery-based method for rapid estimation of displaced populations
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 1-12 - 2013
Estimating the size of forcibly displaced populations is key to documenting their plight and allocating sufficient resources to their assistance, but is often not done, particularly during the acute phase of displacement, due to methodological challenges and inaccessibility. In this study, we explored the potential use of very high resolution satellite imagery to remotely estimate forcibly displac...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial accessibility of primary care: concepts, methods and challenges
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2004
Primary care is recognized as the most important form of healthcare for maintaining population health because it is relatively inexpensive, can be more easily delivered than specialty and inpatient care, and if properly distributed it is most effective in preventing disease progression on a large scale. Recent advances in the field of health geography have greatly improved our understanding of the...... hiện toàn bộ
Context-aware heatstroke relief station placement and route optimization for large outdoor events
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 1-16 - 2021
Heatstroke is becoming an increasingly serious threat to outdoor activities, especially, at the time of large events organized during summer, including the Olympic Games or various types of happenings in amusement parks like Disneyland or other popular venues. The risk of heatstroke is naturally affected by a high temperature, but it is also dependent on various other contextual factors such as th...... hiện toàn bộ
