Bridges and Barriers: An Exploration of Engagements of the Research Community with the OpenStreetMap Community

A. Yair Grinberger, Marco Minghini, Godwin Yeboah, Levente Juhasz, Peter Mooney

Summary: This paper explores the extent and nature of engagement between the academic research community and the larger communities in OpenStreetMap (OSM). The literature analysis and interviews reveal that academic papers generally lack engagement, while more complex and deeper engagement exists within specific research groups. The study highlights the need for an interpretive act in every engagement with OSM and suggests that the academic community should diversify their engagement to better understand the data and OSM community.

Powering Research through Innovative Methods for Mixtures in Epidemiology (PRIME) Program: Novel and Expanded Statistical Methods

Bonnie R. Joubert, Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou, Toccara Chamberlain, Hua Yun Chen, Chris Gennings, Mary E. Turyk, Marie Lynn Miranda, Thomas F. Webster, Katherine B. Ensor, David B. Dunson, Brent A. Coull

Summary: Humans are exposed to a variety of chemical and non-chemical mixtures throughout their lives, and it is important to investigate the health impacts of these mixtures. However, there are challenges in analyzing mixture data in epidemiological studies, such as high correlation among health and exposure measures, missing observations, violation of modeling assumptions, and computational challenges. The PRIME program aims to address these challenges by developing and expanding statistical methods for mixtures. This review summarizes new methods from PRIME projects and provides insights for method selection and application.

Disparities in air quality downscaler model uncertainty across socioeconomic and demographic indicators in North Carolina

Shan Zhou, Robert J. Griffin, Alexander Bui, Aaron Lilienfeld Asbun, Mercedes A. Bravo, Claire Osgood, Marie Lynn Miranda

Summary: This study found socioeconomic and demographic disparities in air pollution levels in North Carolina. Areas with less reliable predictions were often non-urban areas characterized by educational and economic deprivation, while areas with reliable predictions were often urban areas with higher population density and better economic conditions. Furthermore, the predictive uncertainty of PM2.5 has increased in recent years, while the predictive reliability of O3 has improved.
