Description:

Cardiovascular Epidemiology Seminar Series

“Neighborhood level effects on disparities in CVD” and “Neighborhoods and socioeconomic disparities in health behaviors”

Dr. Kiarri Kershaw will be giving two practice talks for the upcoming AHA Scientific Sessions. The talk
on neighborhood level effects on disparities in CVD is part of a session on capturing SES in population
studies and big data. As such, the focus will be on methodologic approaches to measuring the
neighborhood socioeconomic environment. The second talk is part of a hybrid session on
psychology and economics to promote healthy lifestyles. In this talk, she will provide a broader overview
of the multiple aspects of the neighborhood environment that may contribute to socioeconomic
disparities in health disparities. She will also discuss challenges to studying neighborhood effects and
future directions for the field.
