Although several studies have reported that they tend to show a moderate agreement with field observation in WEIRD (Western Educated Industrialized Rich and Democratic) countries, little is known about their validity in non-WEIRD countries. The aim of the present research was to assess the validity of secondary data sources of the retail food environment in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, an emerging Latin American country. A random sample of 106 census tracts was obtained, covering 12% (62 km²) of the city's total area. Two secondary data sources were considered: administrative records and Google Maps. An aggregate database was created by manually removing duplicates. A total of 1051 unique outlets were listed in the database within the census tracts included in the sample. Field validation was performed by six teams of two observers. A total of 1200 food outlets were identified on the ground, including 463 (38.6%) outlets not listed on any database. On the contrary, 297 outlets listed in the databases (28.3%) were not found or were closed at the time of field validation. At the aggregate level, sensitivity and concordance were moderate (0.614 and 0.487, respectively), whereas positive predictive value was substantial (0.701). However, large heterogeneity in the validity of the database across census tracts was found. Sensitivity, positive predictive value, and concordance were positively associated with the socio-economic status index of the census tract. These results suggest that secondary data sources must be used with caution, particularly for the characterization of areas with low socio-economic status.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 103356"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142274860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It traces this emergence and evolution from its origins in the 1989–91 introduction of the ‘internal market’ and the 1994 reintroduction of the National Lottery, through to New Labour health reforms, the introduction of austerity, and the Levelling Up programme in the present day. This paper finds that the term's concern with unfairness has enabled its incorporation into a range of political positions, both as a defence of universalism against market-based reforms in the NHS, and to rationalise distinctions between ‘unequal’ and ‘unfair’ disparities in health outcomes. We conclude that understanding and addressing place based differences and inequalities in health, healthcare, and health outcomes may be aided through investigation of cultural ideas and values as well as the deep histories of place and local services.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 103301"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1353829224001291/pdfft?md5=92c8323d871ab70a207fa09731b97a53&pid=1-s2.0-S1353829224001291-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142241209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis provides valuable insights for intervention policy formulation. Previous studies often overlooked local changes in time trends and regional disease development patterns. In this study, we propose a new spatiotemporal analysis method based on the Joinpoint Regression (JPR) model and K-means clustering to refine the division of stages in China's AIDS epidemic and differentiate geographical areas based on development patterns. We then use hotspot analysis to describe the current status of AIDS, presenting a comprehensive view of the epidemic in China from 2004 to 2018. JPR results show China's AIDS incidence generally increased during 2004–2018 (AAPC = 23.2), with a significant turning point in 2012. Time series feature clustering classifies the country into three regions: Southwest, Central and Eastern, and the other region. Each region corresponds to different epidemic causes and transmission pathways, informing targeted interventions. Hotspot analysis reveals the Southwest region as the most severely affected area, requiring intensified prevention and control efforts. This study offers a novel from both time and space dimensions for understanding and combating the AIDS epidemic, furnishing valuable references for policymakers in the further development of strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 103353"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142241750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
