Abstract:
Interventions addressing racial and ethnic obesity inequities have lower effectiveness in Black adults. Previous literature linking the neighborhood environment to obesity inequities relies on limited food environment measures. Thus, we conducted semi-structured interviews to assess neighborhood-level barriers and facilitators to health behaviors among ethnically diverse Black adults (n = 24). Interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis (kappa = 0.70- 0.93; IRR = 83%). Participants reported barriers in the food (cost, transportation, high unhealthy food access) and physical activity environment (safety concerns). Facilitators included community food resources and access to safe areas for physical activity. These results may inform future research and weight loss programs for diverse Black adults.

Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
