I had a lovely time speaking with breast cancer advocates at the National Breast Cancer Coalition about the impact of redlining on breast cancer today
Event Spotlight: At a recent NBCC webinar, Dr. @smlima-mph.bsky.social made a compelling case that breast cancer outcomes cannot be fully understood—or addressed—without grappling with the legacy of structural racism and disinvestment. Read our recap: www.stopbreastcancer.org/event-spotli...

And the good news continues — paper 1 from my dissertation is officially out!
We found living in a redlined neighborhood is associated with lower breast cancer survival, regardless of treatments or health insurance. More evidence that neighborhoods matter for health and breast cancer.

Congratulations to Dr. Sarah Lima @smlima-mph.bsky.social for her successful dissertation defense today! Sarah’s dissertation in #Epi at the University at Buffalo used data from the New York State Cancer Registry to examine how historical redlining influences mortality among breast cancer cases.

Policies and programs that address poverty can have positive spillover effects – in a recent study we showed that US programs like TANF, EITC, SNAP, and Medicaid expansion reduced child abuse & neglect. Read a short overview in Public Health Post below.
