They will present a talk titled “Economic and Educational Experiences and Disordered Eating Among Racially/Ethically Diverse Emerging Adult Women,” and share preliminary findings from their U3 administrative supplement to the 3E study of diverse emerging adults' cardiometabolic health. This builds upon their respective areas of expertise studying health inequities from the perspectives of developmental science, social epidemiology, and clinical health psychology.

This suite of studies has focused on the impact of neighborhood investment and change on diet and diet-related outcomes. Dr. Dubowitz will talk about design and implementation of the work, engaging communities, measuring the impact of neighborhood change on health and nutrition, and dissemination.
