CSDE Affiliate and Associate Professor of Epidemiology Anjam Hajat has two new publications that are recently available. The first article, published in Environmental Health with a number of co-authors, explores the effect of neighborhood greenspace exposure on dementia risk. Hajat and her colleague Elizabeth Sweet also have out a new policy statement, published through the American Public Health Association. Titled “The Impacts of Individual and Household Debt on Health and Well-Being,” this statement reviews the literature on the wholistic effects of debt and discusses policy implications.

CSDE Affiliate and Associate Professor of Global Health Ruanne Barnabas and her co-authors recently published a study of an easy-to-administer anti-SARS-CoV-2 treatment’s efficacy on progression from early asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection to symptomatic COVID-19. You can read the full study HERE. The authors find that this antibody treatment reduced the incidence of symptomatic COVID-19 cases within their sample, relative to the placebo comparison.

With co-authors Mahesh Somashekhar and James Buszkiewicz, CSDE Affiliates Scott Allard and Jennifer Romich have a new article recently accepted and available in pre-print in Economic Development Quarterly. The paper explores the responses of business owners from marginalized communities to the introduction of a $15 minimum wage in Seattle.

This week CSDE will host Affiliate and Assistant Professor in the UW School of Social Work Meghan Romanelli. Dr. Romanelli will utilize ideation-to-action theories of suicide to frame two interrelated studies of adolescent suicide based on population-based data from the CDC National Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
