1 Interdisciplinary Program for the PhD in Urban Design and Planning BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH MODULE 2011 Symposium April 29,
2 CONTENTS Handouts Main research question Interactions between built environment and health outcomes Examples and policy implications Pedagogy Strengths Data and projects 2
3 IN YOUR HANDOUTS Students Staff Main faculty Area of research and grants 3
4 RESEARCH QUESTION How does the built environment affect human behavior, life style/choices, and consequently health enhancing behaviors? 4
5 EXAMPLES OF HEALTH EFFECTS OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Transport infrastructure/walkability/access -> physical activity; eating; obesity; CVD; diabetes; cancers; injury Air quality -> asthma, cancers Noise -> hearing loss; stress; inattention; sleep; CVD
6 BUILT ENVIRONMENT-BEHAVIOR INTERACTIONS Domains of interest Use of environment (selective, time sensitive) Exposure/access to environment (unavoidable, time and intensity sensitive) Density of environmental attributes Proximity to environmental attributes Confounders (demographic and socioeconomic factors) Access INDIVIDUAL ENVIRONMENT [social or built] Exposure 6
7 POLICY IMPLICATIONS If the use of and exposure/access to certain environmental features affects health, what are the policy changes that planners could help address? Examples Make neighborhoods more walkable (reduce distances between destinations, improve non-motorize infrastructure, mitigate vehicular traffic impacts, etc.) Incentivize certain food and physical activity establishments to locate in neighborhoods Reduce local level air and water pollution, environmental noise 7
8 PEDAGOGY Students are part of an interdisciplinary team Team consists of faculty with different areas of expertise Other consultants (including sponsoring agencies) Staff Students from other UW units (Epidemiology, Geography, Demography, etc.) Synergy between different research grants (similar data, analytic approaches, etc.) Students work at all levels of research (data development, analyses, publications, contacts with sponsors) Student dissertations are a piece of the larger team work They co-author ~2+ papers during their studies, and publish ~2 papers as first author based on their dissertation 8

26 MARINA S SUGGESTIONS for questions Questions for Panels: What is unique about our program intellectual focus? What are our strengths? What potential synergies exist among the areas of specialization? How can we productively build on our strengths and emerging tensions among diverse perspectives? What are the implications for our program structure and pedagogy? Questions for panelists How do you and your students fit into the program? What are emerging research agendas and approaches? What are the cross cutting questions? What are the implications for the pedagogy? Suggestions for panel chairs: Chair the entire discussion, make sure the panel discussion stays focused on the questions. Role of discussant John Friedmann: Ask John to help us reflect on our questions, be our mirror, provide an external feedback, help us reach a synthesis of our discussion. - Ask him what kind of information he would like to have in advance to help us in the discussion. Perhaps supply with some tailored information in advance. 26
27 THIS SLIDE WILL NOT BE SHOWN this is a summary of presentation, as per my recent "Several of our doctoral students have been and are currently involved in research on the interaction between built environment and health. There are several on-going projects funded mostly by multi-year NIH grants that enable students to focus on measuring the built environment in a GIS environment and to conduct analyses on environmental influences on health. Environmental data are available at the scale of the parcel or tax lot for King County and are also being developed at the state level, which enable detailed individual-level analyses of environment and behavior. Students have the opportunity to become familiar with and to develop advanced methods in geospatial data development and spatial analyses (List students at the UFL and other collaborating entities along with their area of focus). The research seeks to untangle the effect of various environmental exposures on health outcomes. Active travel, physical activity, and walking as a popular means of being active have long been the focus of this research (List/describe projects ranging from WBC, Balance, Trac, Twins, Small towns, etc.). This research came out of past research on "non-motorized" transportation carried out with the Wash State Dept of Transportation. A somewhat newer area of research is on the food environment and specifically access to healthy and affordable foods. Work on environments that are supportive of active life styles and facilitate access to food allows us to contribute to many aspects of obesity research (List/ describe UWCOR, SOS I and II, Balance). Most exciting is our current use of accelerometers and GPS to track activity in time and space. TBD 27
