Do environmental risks affect housing prices in the vicinity of industrial plants? Prior studies concentrated on the capitalization effect of infrequent natural disasters instead of industry-related environmental risks caused by production accidents in our everyday lives. In this paper, we first use the 2015 Tianjin explosion in China as an exogenous shock, which led to serious casualties and property damage with nationwide concern, to estimate the effects of environmental risk on housing prices far away from the explosion site. Based on the housing transaction units and chemical plant datasets in Beijing with the difference-in-differences hedonic model, the results indicate that first, housing prices near chemical plants decreased significantly after the explosion and lasted for at least 2 years. Second, the mitigation effects of production and consumption amenities and regional demographic features were examined. The conclusions of this paper provide a policy basis for constantly implementing public sentiment management and safety supervision, balancing industrial and residential land layouts, and improving local amenities and demographics to ensure the stability of the land market.

Future food prices will become less sensitive to agricultural market prices and mitigation costs.

Agricultural production costs represent less than half of total food prices for higher-income countries and will likely further decrease globally. Added-value components such as transport, processing, marketing and catering show increasing importance in food value chains, especially as countries undergo a nutrition transition towards more complex and industrial food systems. Here, using a combined statistical and process-based modelling framework, we derive and project the value-added component of food prices for 136 countries and 11 different food groups, for food-at-home and food-away-from-home.

Background: Shared equity homeownership - a model in which low- and moderate-income households purchase homes at affordable prices on the condition that the houses remain affordable upon resale - has been shown to produce several health-enhancing housing outcomes. These include permanent affordability, housing stability, and modest wealth-building. However, studies suggest low- and moderate-income households may sacrifice neighborhood quality when becoming homeowners, which can undermine the health benefits of homeownership.

Sea level rise (SLR) dynamics pose significant challenges to coastal residential markets, including the likelihood of property valuation disruptions and the relocation of coastal populations from areas of high risk to safer inland locales. Understanding its impact on the residential markets of coastal cities is essential for developing adaptation and mitigation strategies. Existing studies primarily focus on property prices to observe risk factors, which limits the ability to capture the diverse behaviors and responses of market participants, including sellers, buyers, and lenders, to climate change impacts.

Introduction: Despite recommendations from the WHO, antenatal care (ANC) coverage remains low in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Community health workers (CHWs) can play an important role in expanding ANC coverage through pregnancy identification, provision of health education, screening for complications, delivery of therapeutic care and referral to higher levels of care. However, despite the success of CHW programmes in various countries, WHO has called for additional research to develop evidence-based models that optimise CHW service delivery and that can be replicated across geographies.

Objectives: To update the first-line conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) prescribing pattern, describe change and variation across demographical and geographical factors in the Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) population, and identify individual and hospital factors associated with it.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included newly diagnosed RA adult patients from 1 May 2018-1 April 2023 in the UK. We used adjusted multinomial logistic regression with random effect to explore associations with different first-line csDMRAD prescription and to account for hospital-level clustering.
