Consumer Panel Data 2018

The Population Dynamics Lab (PDL) is an open science forum currently hosted at the University of Washington’s Center for Studies in Demography & Ecology. It is an online platform for sharing demographic research methods, insights and building scholarly community. Its aim is to provide tools and evidence for understanding the distribution and change in human wellbeing at the population level. These tools and evidence are peer-reviewed in real time and rapidly made available to address developing events, advance demographic science and increase popular understanding of population processes and change.

Jessie Jones-Smith research, Universal Meals R01

Universal Meals R01 study

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the association between exposure to ambient air pollution and infant mortality. The potential for sociodemographic factors (such as race/ethnicity, income status, or birth outcomes), climate-related variables (such as extreme heat events), or neighborhood-level characteristics (such as historical redlining or greenspace) to modify these associations will be examined.

Specific Aim: Quantify the association between estimated exposure to outdoor air pollutants and infant mortality in a North Carolina birth cohort (2003-2015)
Sub Aim: Evaluate the potential for sociodemographic, birth outcomes, climate-related variables, or neighborhood-level characteristics to modify these associations

The project will use a mixed methods design to investigate the role of structural racism vis-à-vis historical racialized policies and urban planning decisions on current day inequitable neighborhood and food environments and BMI disparities. We will examine the historical and contemporary sociopolitical context of these three racialized policies through interviews, document and media reviews, and test the feasibility of linking newly compiled spatial and contextual urban planning and policy data with the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort, which contains in-depth, longitudinal health data for people who were initially recruited from six cities.

This is a multidisciplinary collaboration that will synthesize spatial datasets from ecology, demography, and economics to map and evaluate the feasibility of tree cover expansion and its socio-environmental impacts.

This is a mixed methods study to community opinions and preferences regarding green infrastructure, and the potential impacts on well-being that come from tree-planting efforts.
