Street-level bureaucracy and relational autonomy in HIV status-neutral care implementation
Place your bet on change
This community case study describes the development and implementation of the Gambling Awareness Research Initiative (GARI), a community-academic research partnership in Springfield, Massachusetts, created in response to the expansion of legalized gambling and the need for community-driven research to further understand gambling’s impact on youth and young adults. The initiative uses a participatory action research design that positions the Young…
Barriers and facilitators to implementing status-neutral HIV care in an urban jail system
BACKGROUND: People who use drugs face barriers to accessing HIV prevention tools. The status-neutral model for HIV care starts with the HIV test and offers linkage to HIV treatment if the person tests positive and linkage to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) if the person tests negative. The goal of this study was to evaluate barriers and facilitators impacting the implementation of a status-neutral HIV model of care in the jail setting. METHODS: B…
Association Between Perceived Racial Discrimination, Socioeconomic Status, and Oral Health Among Children
Perceived racial discrimination is associated with worse oral health and inconsistently with having a dental visit. The stronger association with oral health problems among children in the lowest SES strata highlights the need for targeted interventions addressing both racial discrimination and SES disparities to improve child oral health outcomes
Shouldering the labor of school desegregation
Many U.S. Black students and their families seek quality educational opportunities by enrolling in schools far from their residence via school choice or school desegregation initiatives, a primary impetus to school choice programs. Using data drawn from in-depth interviews and surveys with caregivers of Black student participants (n=22) who attended one of the few remaining U.S. school desegregation programs, we characterize families’ day-to-day …
Using time use diaries to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior in jail populations
Time use diaries are a feasible and appropriate way to measure physical activity and sedentary behavior among people incarcerated in jail
Community Engagement Alliance (Ceal) Against Covid-19 Disparities
The COVID-19 pandemic has both highlighted and worsened existing health inequities among communities of color and structurally vulnerable populations. Community Health Workers, inclusive of Community Health Representatives (CHW/Rs) have entered the spotlight as essential to COVID-19 prevention and control. To learn about community experiences and perspectives related to COVID-19 and inform CHW/R workforce capacity building efforts, a series of fo…
Engaging Youth and Young Adults in the Covid-19 Pandemic Response via the “It’s Our Turn” Crowdsourcing Contest
As the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continued to progress into 2021, appeals were made to take a stronger focus on the perceptions and practices of youth and young adults (YYAs) regarding COVID-19 mitigation, as well as the impact of mitigation strategies on the overall wellbeing of YYAs. In this paper, we describe our efforts to increase YYA engagement in Arizona's COVID-19 response by pairing embedded values from youth participatory …
How are social determinants of health integrated into epigenetic research? A systematic review
Structural racism, economic opportunity and racial health disparities
In this study, we introduce the 'racial opportunity gap' as a place-based measure of structural racism for use in population health research. We first detail constructing the opportunity gap using race-sex specific estimates of intergenerational economic mobility outcomes for a recent cohort. We then illustrate its utility in examining spatial variation in the racial mortality gap. First we demonstrate a correlation between the racial opportunity…
Systematically Shortchanged, Yet Carrying On
School reform policies, such as the closure of "low-performing" schools and the competitive introduction of school choice and charters, were presented to communities of color as the fix to educational inequities and the lifeline needed for urban Black students to have a chance at a quality education and social mobility. The ways in which reforms have under-delivered on this promise, and in some cases exacerbated negative academic outcomes, partic…
