Linktree: https://linktr.ee/nyu.cuny.prc

Established in 2014, the NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center (NYU-CUNY PRC) implements, evaluates, and disseminates community-clinical linkage interventions to reduce cardiovascular disease disparities in ethnically diverse NYC communities. The NYU-CUNY PRC is part of a network of 26 existing CDC Prevention Research Centers located throughout the country.

The NYU-CUNY PRC's core research advances the study of innovative combinations of community and clinic-based interventions for improved linkage to preventive care and chronic disease prevention and management. The overall goals of the NYU-CUNY PRC are to:
• Expand and sustain a prevention science research infrastructure to advance applied public health research and accelerate translation of research into practice
• Engage partners for translation of research findings into practice
• Disseminate and communicate research findings and translation products to multiple audiences through traditional and innovative formats
• Provide training, technical assistance, and subject matter expertise to our local stakeholders and colleagues across the PRC network to facilitate translation of applied public health research to improve population health

Earth Day is often framed around environmental awareness. It also offers a lens into how environmental conditions shape health.

Prevention research shows that the built environment plays a measurable role in chronic disease risk. Factors such as access to safe parks, walkability, and neighborhood conditions influence physical activity, stress, and overall well being.

A recent study on park renovations in New York City found that improvements in park quality were associated with increased use and changes in perceived stress among residents. Findings like these help illustrate how changes to local environments can influence health behaviors and outcomes at the population level.

At the NYU CUNY Prevention Research Center, research contributes to understanding how environmental conditions intersect with prevention. This includes examining how community spaces and neighborhood resources can support healthier daily routines.

Prevention does not happen in isolation. It is shaped by the environments people move through every day.
