SLU professor Ross Brownson is quoted in an article in the June 20 issue of U.S. News & World Report ("Building Illness"). The article is about the link between suburban sprawl and health problems like obesity and asthma. Brownson headed up a successful project to build a network of walking trails in rural southeastern Missouri in an effort to improve the health of poor residents who have little access to medical care and exercise facilities.
