Population health scientists have been probing questions related to race, place, and health for decades, and we know that where one lives is consequential for a whole host of health outcomes. But what are the mechanisms by which place shapes health? How do we define place and measure neighborhoods? Can we leverage multiple measures of social and environmental characteristics to quantify “healthy” neighborhoods? Finally, since race is Inextricably linked with neighborhoods, how do we clarify the links between race, place, and health? In this podcast episode, we bring together several researchers who were part of the Race, Place, and Health panel at the 2020 IAPHS Virtual Conference to share some of their latest work and dig into some of these challenging methodological and conceptual questions.
