SUMMARY:Peter James: Green Spaces and Health: Novel Metrics in Exposure and Outcome Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Peter James: Green Spaces and Health: Novel Metrics in Exposure and Outcome Assessment\nECHO Discovery Summary\nOn May 11\, Peter James\, ScD\, MHS of Harvard presented for ECHO Discovery on the relationship between natural environments\, like green spaces and parks\, and overall health. \nRecently\, researchers have been able to study this relationship more closely using a combination of digital tools\, including smartphone applications\, wearable devices\, and Google Street View. Researchers can use device GPS information to track the time a participant spends in natural environments. Additionally\, they can use Google Street View to collect more detailed data on the kinds of natural elements the participant encounters. \nThe detailed data from these studies could help to inform future interventions that focus on increasing access to the natural elements that have the largest measurable effect on health. Dr. James noted that ensuring more equitable access to natural environments could increase overall health and well-being and may help to decrease socioeconomic health disparities. \n \n  \nSpeaker: \nPeter James\, ScD\, MHS \nHarvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute; Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health \n  \nSpeaker Bio: \nPeter James\, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Population Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute\, as well as in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. His research focuses on estimating the influence of spatial factors\, including exposure to green space\, the built environment\, the food environment\, air pollution\, light pollution\, noise\, and socioeconomic factors\, on health behaviors\, mental health\, and chronic disease. He has over a decade of experience working with large prospective cohort studies\, including the Nurses’ Health Studies\, the Framingham Heart Study\, the Southern Community Cohort Study\, and Project Viva\, where he has aided in the creation of many spatial exposure metrics and linked them to health data. Most recently\, he is creating novel metrics of spatial factors by applying Deep Learning algorithms to Google Street View imagery. \nSlides\nDate: Wednesday\, May 11th\, 1 to 2pm ET
