Topic: Why do spaces like libraries and after-school programs have a positive effect on teen health?

Guests: Nicholas Szoko, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of pediatrics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis; Alison Culyba, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., associate professor of pediatrics, public health, and clinical and translational science at Pitt and UPMC Children’s

How Topic Discussed: Youth living in neighborhoods with more community assets — such as parks, libraries, health services and transportation options — were less likely to report feelings of hopelessness, according to a new study from the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC. What communities in the Mon Valley and Allegheny County were studied? What types of assets made a positive contribution to well-being? How do depression and hopelessness present themselves in teens and young adults? How can information from this study guide policy-makers and donors? What are future areas for research?
