  • High-Risk Geographic Mobility Patterns among Young Urban and Suburban Persons who Inject Drugs and their Injection Network Members
    Journal of Urban Health, 2017
    Co-Authors: Basmattee Boodram, Anna L. Hotton, Lev Shekhtman, Alexander Gutfraind, Harel Dahari
    Abstract:

    Young people in the USA who inject drugs, particularly those at a risk of residence instability, experience the highest incidence of hepatitis C (HCV) infections. This study examined associations between Geographic Mobility patterns and sociodemographic, behavioral, and social network characteristics of 164 young (ages 18–30) persons who inject drugs (PWID). We identified a potential bridge sub-population who reported residence in both urban and suburban areas in the past year (crossover transients) and higher-risk behaviors (receptive syringe sharing, multiple sex partners) compared to their residentially localized counterparts. Because they link suburban and urban networks, crossover transients may facilitate transmission of HIV and HCV between higher and lower prevalence areas. Interventions should address risk associated with residential instability, particularly among PWID who travel between urban and suburban areas.

  • individual Geographic Mobility in a viking age emporium burial practices and strontium isotope analyses of ribe s earliest inhabitants
    PLOS ONE, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sarah Croix, Karin Margarita Frei, Soren M Sindbaek, Morten Breinholt Sovso
    Abstract:

    Individual Geographic Mobility is a key social dynamic of early Viking-Age urbanization in Scandinavia. We present the first comprehensive Geographic Mobility study of Scandinavia's earliest emporium, Ribe, which emerged around AD 700 in the North Sea region of Denmark. This article presents the results of strontium isotope analyses of 21 individuals buried at Ribe, combined with an in-depth study of the varied cultural affinities reflected by the burial practices. In order to investigate Geographic Mobility in early life/childhood, we sampled multiple teeth and/or petrous bone of individuals, which yielded a total of 43 strontium isotope analyses. Most individuals yielded strontium isotope values that fell within a relatively narrow range, between 87Sr/86Sr = 0.709 to 0.711. Only two individuals yielded values >87Sr/86Sr = 0.711. This suggests that most of these individuals had local origins but some had cultural affinities beyond present-day Denmark. Our results raise new questions concerning our understanding of the social and cultural dynamics behind the urbanization of Scandinavia.
