Current research indicates that a health-focused built environment, which may include features like walking and biking paths, as well as access to public transportation and full-service grocery stores, can improve physical and mental well-being. Conversely, poor community design (e.g., car-dependent places with limited recreational spaces) may encourage sedentary habits and exacerbate common public health problems like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and depression.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis seminar will highlight several examples of organizations and communities working to promote health and prevent disease through changes in the built environment.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Ch4\u003EAbout the Translating From Clinic to\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003ECurbside Series\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Medicine: Mind the Gap, Translating From Clinic to Curbside Series explores the science of prevention in community-based settings.
