Start Up: Connie on GoToMeeting – thank you Katie Peper for your help!

1.                   Presentation review –Levi Bonnell: The Built Environment and Health: an overview of 2 projects

a.       Requesting feedback on content and graphics

                                                   i.      What to present on Friday: one or both projects?

b.       Planning poster presentation APHA in 2 weeks

c.       Project 1: Driver’s license data

                                                   i.      Large data set with both BMI and point location

1.       Density, land use diversity, design, recreation, environment:

a.       for now, walkability and access to nutrition in the environment

                                                 ii.      After contacting all states, consort diagram identifies 14 states but only 7 states sent (53m records)

1.       Clean records: 49m

                                               iii.      Geocoding tips

1.       Tips

2.       Learning experiences so far

                                               iv.      Next steps: walkability and obesity: density/urban-rural differences; CTS 301: community nutrition environment and obesity

1.       Walkability: 500 meters around the home

2.       Walk score as an additional variable

d.       Project 2: Geomed Online – planned for APHA presentation

                                                   i.      Web-based survey with over 3000 respondents, including self-perceived health

                                                 ii.      Demographics: missing sex%

                                               iii.      Locations

                                               iv.      Analysis:

1.       Fitness and general health (logistic regression)

2.       BMI (linear regression)

                                                 v.      Result

1.       Northern latitudes

a.       Decrease BMI

b.       Increases fitness

c.       Increases self-assessment of health

2.       Graphics

a.       Watch for errors in titling

b.       Consider adding, in all graphs, an icon of the latitude/longitude map for orientation

c.       Line graphs make the viewer assume a continuous variable

d.       Number the slides for easy reference by the audience

                                               vi.      Main point of this work, given that we already know about the Stroke Belt in the U.S.

1.       L&L is an important potential confounder in understanding health

a.       Health is associated with L&L

b.       Where people are located is important in an analysis

2.       After adjusting for age, sex, race, and education

a.       The further north, the healthier

b.       The further west, the healthier

3.       When we look at BMI with where they are in the world, it confirms what we already knew

a.       Therefore, we can add these tools to the public health toolkit

e.       For Friday

                                                   i.      Explain geocoding a little more

                                                 ii.      Provide more transition between a quote, bullet points, and what is important to the slide

f.        Questions:

                                                   i.      Why not analyze longitudinal areas the same way? (Later slides responded to this.)
