Peer Reviewed: A Geospatial Analysis of Health Mental Health and Stressful Community Contexts in Los Angeles County

摘要

Despite numerous federal investments, chronic disease continues to disproportionately affect certain communities across the United States.

This case study of Los Angeles County’s geospatial landscape sought to address these gaps in research and practice.
