Background: While community engagement has had a substantial presence in public health research, community input to inform geospatial and health analyses remains underutilized and novel. This manuscript reports on community engagement activities to solicit stakeholder perspectives on the role of neighborhood conditions in health and cancer. We discuss how this community input refined a priori conceptual model to be tested in the larger Families, Friends, and Neighborhoods (FFAN) Study.

Fine particulate matter (PM) is related to embryo growth arrest (EGA). In this study, we collected demographic information from EGA cases and early pregnancy controls in Taiyuan, China, between 2022 and 2023 and obtained villi and serum samples from these participants. We employed multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression models to estimate the odds ratios (ORs).

The use of sewage sludge as a soil improver has been promoted in agroecosystems. However, sludges can contain toxic trace elements because of suboptimal wastewater treatment. Nonetheless, field studies investigating the negative effects of these practices on pollinators are lacking.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children, yet few environmental risk factors have been identified. We previously found an association between early-life tobacco smoke exposure and frequency of somatic deletions of 8 leukemia driver genes among childhood ALL patients in the California Childhood Leukemia Study. To expand analysis genome-wide and examine potential mechanisms, we conducted tumor whole-genome sequencing in 35 ALL patients, including 18 with high prenatal tobacco exposure and 17 with low exposure as determined by established epigenetic biomarkers.
