Urban Design 4 Health - National Public Health Assessment Model (N-PHAM)

by Jim Chapman

Hello, Here are some updates on the work we are doing. Jim Chapman View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/ud4h/happy-holidays-4825199?e=d83721dc2c> <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> Over the past decade, Urban Design 4 Health (UD4H) has developed innovative, evidence-based tools to evaluate the health impacts of transportation and land use decisions. These tools are useable by state, regional and local government evaluations. With support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, UD4H has created the National Public Health Assessment Model (N-PHAM) <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…>. It provides physical activity and health outcome estimates at a fine-grain resolution for any region in the country. *Recently, UD4H has applied the N-PHAM to **Integrate Health into Regional Planning with UrbanFootprint <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…>* for the Genesee Transportation Council in metropolitan Rochester, New York shown below. <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> *Highlights of the N-PHAM Tool:* - *Nationwide coverage* at the census block group or tract-level for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico - Designed to *evaluate health and equity impacts* of a variety of planning efforts, including *land use changes*, *long-range regional transportation plans*, *active transportation plans*, and *transit service changes* - Includes a wide range of physical activity indicators and health outcomes: - Physical activity - Sedentary behavior - Body weight and obesity - Diabetes - Hypertension and heart disease - Mental health and depression - Sense of community - Direct and indirect costs of health care and workforce productivity - Comprises a suite of built, natural and social environmental input measures including *walkability*, *transit, access to green space,* and *equity* considerations UD4H has applied N-PHAM to perform a *Health Equity Study with Envision Tomorrow <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…>* for the San Joaquin Council of Governments in metropolitan Stockton, California illustrated below. <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> *N-PHAM has also been deployed to conduct:* - *A *Heath Assessment of the City of Grand Rapids <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> for Downtown Grand Rapids, Inc. (shown below) and - A Community Health Assessment for the Houston I-45N Freeway Expansion Area <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> for Air Alliance Houston. <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> In 2020, we worked with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to update and enhance a related tool, the *California Public Health Assessment Model (C-PHAM) <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…>*. This tool was originally developed by UD4H in 2015. Similar to N-PHAM, this tool was designed for high-resolution quantitative health impact assessment (HIA) applications statewide. SCAG used C-PHAM with its Scenario Planning Model <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> as part of their recently released 2020 RTP (Connect SoCal) <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> . Let us know if you would like to discuss ways UD4H can help you to integrate health, equity, and the built, natural, and social environment more fully into your work. *Contact us <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> to learn more.* Dr. Lawrence Frank, President, and the UD4H Team <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> [image: Website] <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> [image: LinkedIn] <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> [image: Twitter] <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> [image: Facebook] <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> [image: Email] <info(a)ud4h.com> Urban Design 4 Health (UD4H) develops evidence and tools to support healthy, sustainable, energy secure transportation and land use decision making. *Visit our website:* www.ud4h.com <https://urbandesign4health.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0caef1ba55fc67…> *Copyright © 2021 Urban Design 4 Health, Inc., All rights reserved.* Want to change how you receive these emails?
