The food environment in 3 neighborhoods in South Los Angeles, California: access, availability, quality, and marketing practices.
The authors developed a mapping component as part of a multilevel church-based intervention that used community-based participatory research to prevent obesity in African American and Latino churches in South Los Angeles. They developed neighborhood maps of local food environments and provided churches with standardized information on food access, availability, quality, and marketing practices. Including several tables as well as discussion, they stated that local food environment maps that are paired with data can inform community-based strategies to prevent obesity and food insecurity.

Implementing a social determinants screening and referral infrastructure during routine emergency department visits, Utah, 2017-2018.
Emergency departments see a disproportionate share of low-income and uninsured patients. In this study, the investigators developed and evaluated a process for identifying social needs among emergency department patients, for facilitating access to community-based resources, and for integrating clinical and community-based data. They leveraged an academic-community partnership to develop a social needs screening tool and referral process.

Participatory genomic testing can effectively disseminate cardiovascular pharmacogenomics concepts within federally qualified health centers: a feasibility study.
Researchers assessed feasibility of an educational program designed to enhance stakeholder knowledge and perceptions of pharmacogenomics at a federally qualified health center. Twenty providers and 10 community members were recruited for a feasibility study via convenience sampling. The researchers determined that a pharmacogenomics educational program tailored for an underrepresented community was feasible and acceptable; outcomes will advise methodology for larger implementation studies.

Provision of social services and health care quality in US community health centers, 2017.
The authors describe the types of social services provided at community health centers (CHCs), characteristics of CHCs providing these services, and the association between on-site provision and health care quality. Their findings indicate that CHCs most often offered on-site assistance for needs related to food or nutriion, interpersonal violence, and housing. Participation in projects with community-based organizations was associated with providing services on-site. On-site provision was associated with better performance on measures of health care quality. They conclude that some CHCs provide social services on-site, and this was associated with better performance on measures of health care quality.
