    Community Health: Widen the Lens
    ( 2019-03-14) Addiss, David ; Bussenius, Hope ; Elliott, Michael ; Nesrudin, Rihana
    The second panel of the Spring 2019 Liam's Legacy will engage global perspectives; however, both panels will highlight the connectedness of local and global community health challenges and innovations. Featured panelists include David Addiss of the Task Force for Global Health, Hope Bussenius of Emory's Urban Health Initiative, and Rihana Nesrudin of Oakhurst Medical Center. Hence, the symposium also explores how professionals from different disciplines and sectors view the concept of "community health" through the specific lenses of the communities--whether here in Atlanta or abroad-- with which they work.

    Women’s Action towards Climate Resilience for Urban Poor in South Asia: Baseline Report
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-11) Elliott, Michael ; Iyer, Veena ; Chauhan, Dharmistha
    The Women's action towards managing health impacts of climate change affecting urban poor in south Asia Project aims to build the resilience capacity of women from slum communities in seven cities of South Asia, to take the lead in action against four climate risks. These four climate stressors – heat waves, flooding and inundation, water scarcity, and increased incidence of water and vector borne diseases – often impact the poor most but are slower‐onset and less apparent than climate disasters and extreme events.

    Women’s Action towards Climate Resilience for Urban Poor in South Asia: Midline Report
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-10) Elliott, Michael ; Iyer, Veena ; Chauhan, Dharmistha
    The Women's Action towards Managing Health Impacts of Climate Change Affecting the Urban Poor in South Asia Project aims to build the resilience capacity of women from slum communities in seven cities of South Asia, to take the lead in action against four climate risks. These four climate stressors – heat waves, flooding and inundation, water scarcity, and increased incidence of water and vector borne diseases – often impact the poor most but are slower‐onset and less apparent than climate disasters and extreme events. The project aims to create a model wherein women take a lead through collective action and technology incubation to devise locally relevant, pro‐poor, and gender sensitive climate resilient solutions. This model will ultimately promote a culture of sustainable development and resilience among the urban poor in South Asia. Success for this project means a demonstration of how women‐led initiatives have built the necessary social capital, policy influence, technical expertise, for poor urban communities to respond effectively to climate change, thereby sustaining their health and livelihood options.

    Choosing Our Energy Future: Town Hall Discussion of Georgia’s Options for Implementing the Clean Power Plan
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-09-28) Rochberg, Daniel ; Brown, Marilyn A. ; Kelly, Kevin ; Hays, Karen ; Elliott, Michael ; Simoglou, Costas ; Strickland, Matthew J. ; Rumley, MaKara ; Matisoff, Daniel C. ; Southworth, Katie
    In August 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released the Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce carbon pollution from the U.S. power sector to 32% below 2005 levels by 2030. Georgia must submit its initial state plan for implementing the Clean Power Plan by September 2016. Georgia Tech and Climate@Emory are co-hosting a Town Hall meeting to explore the key decisions Georgia must make in developing its state plan and the potential impacts these decisions will have on our environment, our economy, our pocketbooks and our health. This event is intended to engage a broad range of stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners, students, and the general public.

    Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail: Population Comparison Measuring Changes in Behavior Related to Health
    ( 2012-12) Smith, Sarah M. ; Ross, Catherine L. ; Elliott, Michael
    The Atlanta BeltLine is one of the largest redevelopment projects currently underway in the United States. It represents an exciting new vision for the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta region. The project will ultimately include the transformation of a 22-mile mostly abandoned freight rail corridor to a new system of parks, trails, and transit. The construction of the BeltLine is creating greater opportunities for residents to have a higher quality healthier life through the creation of new greenspace, walkable neighborhoods, high-quality infill development, transit, and healthy communities. Taken together, the BeltLine components are intended to create a continuous loop of urban regeneration around the core of the city. Linked by transit and greenspace, the BeltLine will connect people with places and with each other. A section of the BeltLine, known as the Eastside Trail, will eventually include lighting, plantings, and other design elements and is intended for walking, bicycling, and other non-motorized movement. This research report examines how an external health determinant such as the construction of the BeltLine Eastside Trail can potentially shape individual behavior patterns in the population living along the corridor. The report also analyzes how this behavioral change can impact public health, specifically by providing an increased opportunity for physical activity, as well as how the creation of greenspace, which provides opportunities for social interaction, can improve mental health.

    Health Impact Assessment of Atlanta Regional Plan 2040
    ( 2012-12) Ross, Catherine L. ; Elliott, Michael ; Rushing, Michelle M. ; Barringer, Jason ; Smith, Sarah ; Frackelton, Alexandra ; Kent, John ; Rao, Arthi ; West, Harry
    The objective of this work was to integrate the HIA process into the larger planning process to the greatest extent possible. An HIA will ensure the explicit consideration for the human health impacts in regional transportation and land use planning. Second, it increases the regional capacity for HIA practice through collaboration with community and research partners, and develops a prototypical approach for measuring and improving regional planning outcomes. Ultimately through the HIA process, sustainability, economic benefit, and health were presented as mutually-supportive and attainable goals of transportation and land use planning. Although some examples of comprehensive planning HIAs exist in the U.S., the Plan 2040 assessment is one of the earliest HIAs of a regional comprehensive plan for a major metropolitan area.

    Health Benefits of the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail: A Pre-Impact Assessment
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-01-31) Ross, Catherine L. ; West, Harry ; Elliott, Michael ; Smith, Sarah M. ; Marcus, Michelle ; Woo, Myungje ; Lilly, Margaret
    The objective of the research is to measure the impact of the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside trail on the physical activity, mental health, behavior, and characteristics of the population located along the Eastside Trail section of the Atlanta BeltLine. This report includes the documentation of the existing behavior of the population prior to the completion of the trail, as well as an inventory of other existing physical and socio-economic conditions existing prior to trail construction.

    Estimating the Safety Benefits of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS)
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-12-31) Ross, Catherine L. ; Elliott, Michael ; Barringer, Jason ; Smith, Sarah M. ; Woo, Myungje ; Kent, John ; Lilly, Margaret
    Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS), also commonly known by the original name Context Sensitive Design (CSD), is an alternative approach to the conventional transportation-oriented decision-making and design processes. The CSS approach can be used to design and implement transportation projects that not only result in safe and efficient roadways, but ones that consider and preserve the total context of community values, including scenic, aesthetic, historic, and environmental resources.

    Aerotropolis Atlanta Brownfield Redevelopment Health Impact Assessment
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-12) Ross, Catherine L. ; Elliott, Michael ; Rushing, Michelle Marcus ; Barringer, Jason ; Cox, Sarah ; Frackelton, Alexandra ; Kent, John ; Rao, Arthi
    HIA is a process that uses a variety of methods and approaches to identify and measure potential health impacts, both positive and negative, that may result from a particular policy or project. Furthermore, an HIA seeks to link these impacts to a given segment of the population (for example, children, older adults, people living in poverty, or residents of a particular neighborhood).
