The “Best of Both Worlds”: Building a community‐academic partnership for research with legal system‐impacted individuals

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Equitable community‐academic research partnerships provide an innovative way to advance health outcomes among criminal legal system‐impacted individuals. The extant literature lacks accounts that detail the process for developing such partnerships, particularly in community‐based (rather than carceral) settings and with community organizations

Sulfur Dioxide‐ and Fluoride‐Associated Declines in Lung Function Over an 11‐Year Observation Among Aluminum Smelter Workers

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Work exposure‐related declines in lung function among aluminum smelter workers are well documented, yet task‐varying exposures are likely to contribute differently to respiratory outcomes. This study aimed to assess the association between potroom exposure and lung function changes over time among aluminum smelter workers. Methods A
