- A global analysis of the impact of COVID-19 stay-at-home restrictions on crime(2021) NIVETTE, Amy E.; ZAHNOW, Renee; AGUILAR, Raul; AHVEN, Andri; AMRAM, Shai; ARIEL, Barak; BURBANO, Maria Jose Arosemena; ASTOLFI, Roberta; BAIER, Dirk; BARK, Hyung-Min; BEIJERS, Joris E.

T.; POBLETE-CAZENAVE, Ruben; ROSE, Simon; SVENSSON, Robert; TRAJTENBERG, Nico; LIPPE, Tanja van der; VELDKAMP, Joran; PERDOMO, Carlos J. Vilalta; EISNER, Manuel P.The implementation of COVID-19 stay-at-home policies was associated with a considerable drop in urban crime in 27 cities across 23 countries. More stringent restrictions over movement in public space were predictive of larger declines in crime. The stay-at-home restrictions to control the spread of COVID-19 led to unparalleled sudden change in daily life, but it is unclear how they affected urban crime globally. We collected data on daily counts of crime in 27 cities across 23 countries in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We conducted interrupted time series analyses to assess the impact of stay-at-home restrictions on different types of crime in each city. Our findings show that the stay-at-home policies were associated with a considerable drop in urban crime, but with substantial variation across cities and types of crime. Meta-regression results showed that more stringent restrictions over movement in public space were predictive of larger declines in crime.
- Intersectional insights into racism and health: not just a question of identity(2022) SHANNON, Geordan; MORGAN, Rosemary; ZEINALI, Zahra; BRADY, Leanne; COUTO, Marcia Thereza; DEVAKUMAR, Delon; EDER, Ben; KARADAG, Ozge; MUKHERJEE, Maki; PERES, Maria Fernando Tourinho; RYNGELBLUM, Marcelo; SABHARWAL, Nidhi; SCHONFIELD, Amos; SILWANE, Pamela; SINGH, David; RYNEVELD, Manya Van; VILAKATI, Siyasanga; WATEGO, Chelsea; WHYLE, Eleanor; MURAYA, KuiIntersectionality is a useful tool to address health inequalities, by helping us understand and respond to the individual and group effects of converging systems of power. Intersectionality rejects the notion of inequalities being the result of single, distinct factors, and instead focuses on the relationships between overlapping processes that create inequities. In this Series paper, we use an intersectional approach to highlight the intersections of racism, xenophobia, and discrimination with other systems of oppression, how this affects health, and what can be done about it. We present five case studies from different global locations that outline different dimensions of discrimination based on caste, ethnicity and migration status, Indigeneity, religion, and skin colour. Although experiences are diverse, the case studies show commonalities in how discrimination operates to affect health and wellbeing: how historical factors and coloniality shape contemporary experiences of race and racism; how racism leads to separation and hierarchies across shifting lines of identity and privilege; how racism and discrimination are institutionalised at a systems level and are embedded in laws, regulations, practices, and health systems; how discrimination, minoritisation, and exclusion are racialised processes, influenced by visible factors and tacit knowledge; and how racism is a form of structural violence. These insights allow us to begin to articulate starting points for justice-based action that addresses root causes, engages beyond the health sector, and encourages transnational solidarity.
- School environment and physical activity in adolescents from Sao Paulo city(2021) FERRARI, Gerson; REZENDE, Leandro F. M.; FLORINDO, Alex A.; MIELKE, Gregore I.; PERES, Maria Fernanda TourinhoWe examined the association of physical activity (PA) facilities and access to school with total PA and domain-specific PA in adolescents. We enrolled 2610 adolescents (mean: 14.9 years) from Sao Paulo city. The number and presence of sports courts, swimming pools, locker rooms, running/athletics tracks, entrance accessible for student cyclists, bike racks, speed limit signal around the school, and pedestrian crossing were assessed in each school. All participants responded to a questionnaire about frequency and duration of physical education classes, leisure time, and active commuting. Total PA was obtained by adding up all PA domains. Presence of three or more (OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.15 to 2.30) sports courts, swimming pool available in usable conditions (OR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.01 to 2.10), running/athletics tracks (OR: 2.35; 95% CI: 1.07 to 5.18), and bike racks (OR: 1.38; 95% CI: 1.07 to 1.78) were positively associated with total PA. Number of sports courts, swimming pool available in usable conditions, speed limit signals around the school, and pedestrian crossings were positively associated with physical education classes. The bike racks, speed limit signs around the school, and pedestrian crossings were positively associated with active commuting. School environment was associated with increased PA. Our findings should be considered in future epidemiologic studies and for educational and health policy makers.
