An exploratory (quasi-experimental) study was conducted in 23 Dutch schools, differing between three arms based on implementation degree of a Healthy School Canteen Program: limited, moderate or sustainable. Students (n = 1004) completed a questionnaire about descriptive and injunctive norms regarding water, fruit/vegetables, snacks, sugar-containing beverages, brown/whole wheat bread. Multi-level analyses were conducted (two-level hierarchical data structure). Compared to limited implementation, students in schools with moderate implementation indicated less favorable norm perceptions with (a) lower descriptive norm scores regarding water (-.30, 95 % CI [-.47; -.12]), (b) lower injunctive norm scores regarding fruit/vegetables (-.29, 95 % CI [-.49; -.10]) and water (-.34, 95 % CI [-.49; -.20]), and (c) higher injunctive norm scores regarding sugar containing beverages (.17, 95 % CI [.02; .32]). No significant differences were observed between students in schools with sustainable implementation and limited implementation.

This study examines the spatio-temporal dynamics of these disparities through three questions: (1) How did COVID-19 influence spatial and temporal discrepancies in EPS? (2) How do these discrepancies vary across geographic scales? and (3) What spatial-health policy implications emerge, especially relative to traditional arguments about healthcare disparities in South Korea?</div><div>The analysis focuses on the interaction between temporal phases (pre-, mid-, and post-pandemic) and spatial dimensions (areas and regions) to assess the pandemic's impact on EPS. To address these issues, the study introduces the Discrepancy Index (DISC) to measure spatial mismatches between EPS supply and demand, and the Disparity of Service Stress Index (DISTRES) to assess capacity mismatches in service provision. By integrating these measures across three pandemic phases and multiple geographic scales, the study provides a comprehensive assessment of spatio-temporal disparities in EPS. The findings yield several key insights. The impact of COVID-19 on EPS is not strongly evident at the national aggregate level but emerges more clearly at specific geographic scales, with several outlier units showing pronounced effects that were not captured in previous work from South Korea or other countries. Spatial disparities and their mitigation also vary by spatial units, indicating that public health policies should be tailored to the spatial units where DISC and DISTRES identify critical spatial or capacity mismatches. Spatial-temporal disparities in EPS are particularly marked between metropolitan and non-metropolitan regions and between large cities and rural areas. The standardized framework developed in this study offers an effective approach for analyzing and classifying healthcare service distributions across multiple spatial and temporal dimensions, providing deeper insight into patterns of healthcare disparity and informing scale-sensitive policy responses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 103630"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146183965","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}

We used data from the 1985-86 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study to test whether retrospective cohort associations between redlining and body mass index (BMI) were mediated by paths from census-derived social and economic neighborhood factors, food availability, physical activity (PA) resources to diet and physical activity behaviors. We found that the HOLC ratings (which reflected institutionalized racial sentiment of the time) were associated with higher levels of neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation within all racial and gender groups. For White adults and men, historically redlined neighborhoods were indirectly associated with higher BMI through neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation and lower diet quality. An indirect pathway connecting redlining to BMI was also identified for Black adults, but higher quality diet correlated with higher BMI. While women's dietary quality was not associated with BMI, redlining was directly associated with neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation which was directly associated with higher BMI and lower dietary quality, separately. Food and PA resource availability were inconsistently associated with HOLC ratings. Overall, historically redlined neighborhoods remained socioeconomically deprived 50 years later, which may have contributed to lower diet quality for all race and gender groups. The historic intertwining of race and value, as illustrated by the redlining maps, may have influenced disparities in BMI across race and gender groups.

Efforts to address this problem are hampered by substantial spatial disparities, especially in large states like Florida. Existing methodologies for evaluating healthcare access, such as the widely used Generalized Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (G2SFCA) method, may not accurately capture real-world circumstances because they often rely on assumed, uniform parameters that overlook contextual heterogeneity in travel behavior. However, maternal patients in different geographies experience drastically different transportation barriers and varying tolerance for distance and travel times, underscoring the need for more granular, area-specific modeling. This study proposes a data-driven Variable Catchment 2SFCA (V2SFCA) framework to estimate maternal healthcare accessibility across Florida. Leveraging observed patient flow data, we employed gravity models to empirically calibrate distance decay functions and separately defined catchment thresholds specific to each area type. These data-driven, area-specific parameters enable the framework to more accurately reflect behavioral heterogeneity in maternal healthcare utilization. Applied to Florida, the model reveals substantial accessibility disparities across the four area types, including metropolitan, micropolitan, small town, and rural. It also demonstrates improved behavioral realism compared with conventional approaches, offering actionable insights for equitable maternal care planning and resource allocation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49302,"journal":{"name":"Health & Place","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 103608"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146039818","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}

However, understanding of the enabling features of places and how they generate the conditions necessary for the experience of wellbeing and flourishing amongst older people remains limited. Drawing on the concept of ‘enabling places’ (Duff, 2011, 2012) this paper examines how older adults negotiate physical, social and affective place resources to pursue the ‘personal projects’ that enable wellbeing and flourishing. In-depth interviews were conducted with 45 people aged 50 years and over living in socio-economically diverse areas of Scotland, UK. Four types of enabling places were identified: ‘places to relax and restore’, ‘places to connect with others’, ‘places I can stretch myself’ and ‘places I can be myself’. Key findings indicate the importance not only of the restorative properties of places but how places enable instoration, a longer-term strengthening of self-identity. Further, while natural environments were reported as the most difficult to access, difficulties in the environment could also offer participants opportunities for self-development. Analysis identified that place resources are not equally distributed, and that the unequal distribution of resources may prevent older people from developing the agency and capacities that support flourishing.
