"Bystander Chemical-Exposures and Injuries Associated With Nearby Plastic Sewer Pipe Manufacture: Public Health Practices and Lessons", Noh, Y., Shannahan, J.H., Hoover, A.G., Pennell, K.G., Weir, M.H., and Whelton, A.J. (2022). Journal of Environmental Health, 85(4), 22-31.
Abstract:
Cured‐in‐place pipes (CIPPs) are plastic liners manufactured inside existing damaged sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and water pipes that extend the service life of host pipes. This process often is conducted in neighborhoods and near roadways and waste materials, that include volatile materials, are released into the air. Emissions from this manufacturing process can affect outdoor air quality and indoor air quality for buildings connected to the sewer system. We identified key issues and solicited stakeholder feedback to estimate and manage public health risks of CIPP-generated chemical air pollution.
"Reaching high-risk Black adults for diabetes prevention programming during a pandemic: The design of Fit & Faithful a randomized controlled community trial", Teresa Waters (HMP) is a co-author.
Abstract:
Obesity is a key risk factor for Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Alarmingly, 87% of US adults have overweight or obesity, with non-Hispanic black adults having higher obesity and T2D prevalence than non-Hispanic white. This paper describes the design and methods of a cluster randomized controlled trial among black weight loss non-responders nested in 20 community sites (primarily churches).
"Medicaid expansion and access to naloxone in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas", Emily Slade (BST) is a co-author.
Abstract:
The opioid crisis remains a major public health concern in the United States. Naloxone is used to reverse opioid overdoses. This study examined Medicaid expansion on naloxone prescriptions in retail pharmacies in metropolitan (metro) and nonmetropolitan (nonmetro) areas (2011-2017).
