Abstract |
Salud Urbana en América Latina
(SALURBAL), Urban Health in Latin America, is a five-year project launched in
April 2017. The Drexel University Dornsife School of Public Health and
partners throughout Latin America and in the United States are working
together to study how urban environments and urban policies impact the health
of Latin American cities. Their findings will inform policies and
interventions to create healthier, more equitable, and more sustainable
cities worldwide. SALURBAL is funded by the Wellcome Trust as part of
its Our Planet, Our Health initiative, which focuses on research
examining the connections between the environment and human health. For more information, please visit: https://drexel.edu/lac/salurbal/overview/ |
|
General objective |
SALURBAL has four aims: Identify city and neighborhood drivers
of health and health inequalities among and within cities Evaluate health, environmental and
equity impact of policies and interventions Employ systems-thinking and simulation
models to evaluate urban-health-environment links and plausible policy
impacts Engage the scientific community, the
public and policy makers to disseminate and translate findings |
|
Methodology |
The SALURBAL project compiles
pre-existing data on demographics, mortality, health and risk factors, social
and built environment from Latin American cities, countries, and regional
institutions. These data are analyzed to reveal the ways in which Latin
America urban environments are associated with various health or
environmental outcomes. |
