This study reports data from a mapping analysis designed to assess the extent to which liquor outlets concentrate in certain neighborhoods within one economically disadvantaged midsized city in New Jersey. Four neighborhoods, which occupy one-quarter of the residential land mass of the city and which are home to one-quarter of its population, were found to contain over half of its retail liquor outlets. Three of these neighborhoods are very poor and have large minority populations. The neighborhood with the highest concentration of outlets, however, has one of the lowest levels of poverty in the city and is ethnically quite diverse.

Neighborhood Factors as Correlates of Alcohol Use in the N2 Cohort Study of Black Sexually Minoritized Men and Transgender Women.

Sexually minoritized men (SMM), transgender women (TW), and particularly Black SMM and Black TW may be disproportionately impacted by alcohol-related problems. Few studies have empirically examined neighborhood factors that may contribute to alcohol use, specifically among these populations. Using data from the N2 longitudinal cohort study in Chicago, IL, survey data from the second wave of longitudinal assessment (n = 126) and GPS mobility data from enrollment were used to evaluate neighborhood alcohol outlet availability, neighborhood disorder, and neighborhood poverty as correlates of individual alcohol use.

Objective: To characterize the spatio-temporal association between features of the built environment and subclinical liver disease.
Design: We used data from a large community-based population, the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (2000-2002, N = 5542) with linked historical residential data that characterized past exposure to alcohol outlets (bars and liquor stores), healthy foods stores, and physical activity facilities (1990-2001). We examined whether and how past residential relate to hepatic steatosis (proxied by liver attenuation measured using computed tomography, with lower attenuation indicating higher hepatic steatosis).
Creating a food environment scoring index for online food delivery outlets: Delphi study with Australian nutrition and public health professionals.

Aims: This study aimed to develop a scoring index for the healthfulness of food outlet menu offerings available through Australian delivery platforms.
Methods: The Delphi method was employed to achieve consensus among a panel of Australian nutrition and public health experts regarding the food environment scores assigned to online food outlets, classified by type. From previous studies and scoping of delivery platforms, 36 food outlet types were identified.

Spray drying is an important industrial method for the preparation of B. thuringiensis powder from fermentation liquor. The effect of spray drying on the crystal proteins, however, has not been reported in the literature so far.

- - The study focuses on alcohol-related problems among sexually minoritized men (SMM) and transgender women (TW), especially within Black SMM and Black TW communities, highlighting a lack of prior research on neighborhood factors affecting alcohol consumption in these groups.
- - Utilizing data from a longitudinal cohort study in Chicago, researchers examined how neighborhood characteristics like alcohol outlet availability, neighborhood disorder, and poverty relate to individual alcohol use, using advanced models that incorporate GPS mobility data.
- - Findings revealed that while on-premise/off-premise alcohol outlets and violent crime had no significant impact, neighborhood disorder (indicated by vacant buildings) and poverty levels were significantly linked to increased alcohol consumption among these populations, suggesting that social environment factors play a crucial role.
