How does your home, the block you live on, or your broader neighborhood affect your health? For today’s episode, I am using a recent paper written by local researchers to examine how policy, including housing policies, impact the health of our neighborhoods. This paper, “A History Of The Impacts Of Discriminatory Policies On Housing And Maternal And Infant Health In An Ohio Neighborhood" zooms in on the Linden area. One of the paper’s co-authors, Dr. Kierra Barnett, senior research scientist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, joins me for this episode. With her is Nick Jones, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Vice President for Community Wellness, which leads the Healthy Neighborhoods, Healthy Families initiative in the South Side and Linden.Sources:https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hlthaff.2023.01045https://odphp.health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/infants/reduce-rate-infant-deaths-mich-02/data?group=Race/Ethnicity%20(of%20mother)&from=2017&to=2021&state=United%20States&populations=#edit-submithttps://www.nationwidechildrens.org/about-us/population-health-and-wellness/healthy-neighborhoods-healthy-familieshttps://cohhio.org/healthy-beginnings-at-home/
