Our latest paper was just published by PLoS Medicine, as part of the Global Theme Issue on Poverty and Human Development, organized by the The Council of Science Editors. The paper, Safe To Walk? Neighborhood Safety and Physical Activity Among Public Housing Residents, shows that for women living in low income housing, residing in an unsafe neighborhood serves as a barrier to regular physical activity.

I am currently on academic leave from HSPH and DFCI to develop a new area of intervention research. While I am gone, I will not be regularly checking my Harvard email, so please contact Jodi Saia Witte if you have any questions. gb

Site (finally) updated

I know, I know. After a busy summer, I’ve updated the site with a new design that should make future updates much easier to manage. Hope this makes it easier to stay up to date about our work. We should be done with the update by November. gb

New obesity prevention grant

We recently received a new K22 grant from the National Cancer Institute to fund the development of a new obesity prevention intervention for Black women. Our work is increasingly designed to investigate obesity prevention strategies, which holds great promise among Black women and may be among the most effective stratgies at stemming the rising rates of obesity and related disease.
