Community-driven secondary distribution of Covid-19 rapid antigen home tests in high-vulnerability Chicago neighborhoods
African American communities on Chicago’s South and West Sides, many facing high levels of social vulnerability, experienced disproportionate COVID-19 burden driven in part by limited access to diagnostic testing early in the pandemic. In partnership with the Alive Faith Network (AFN), a longstanding coalition of African American churches and academic partners, we implemented a participant-driven model to expand access to rapid antigen home tests…
Implementing a Covid-19 Testing Intervention in African American Testing Deserts in Chicago
Transforming Community‐Based Rehabilitation Services
BACKGROUND: To understand the experiences of clients, caregivers and staff in community day rehabilitation centres (DRCs) and identify areas for improvement in service processes and the clinical care of stroke, frailty and hip fracture, a national quality improvement project was undertaken using experience-based co-design (EBCD). The goal was to prioritise and co-design system-level changes for community-based rehabilitation care in Singapore. ME…
Establishing Quality Indicators and Implementation Priorities for Post‐Stroke Aphasia Services Through End‐User Involvement
BACKGROUND: Currently, there are no agreed quality standards for post-stroke aphasia services. Therefore, it is unknown if care reflects best practices or meets the expectations of people living with aphasia. We aimed to (1) shortlist, (2) operationalise and (3) prioritise best practice recommendations for post-stroke aphasia care. METHODS: Three phases of research were conducted. In Phase 1, recommendations with strong evidence and/or known to b…
Codesigning implementation strategies to improve evidence‐based stroke rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: People with lived experience are rarely involved in implementation science research. This study was designed to assess the feasibility of codesigning and delivering implementation strategies with people with lived experience of stroke and health professionals to improve evidence-based stroke rehabilitation. METHODS: We used Experience-Based CoDesign to design and deliver strategies to implement Stroke Clinical Guideline recommendati…
Effective Messages to Reduce Stigma among People Newly Diagnosed with HIV during Rapid ART Initiation
HIV stigma has a negative influence on antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and persistence and viral suppression. Immediate access to ART (RAPID ART) has been shown to accelerate viral suppression (VS) that is sustained up to one year after HIV diagnosis. Little is known about the role of RAPID ART in reducing individual-level stigma. We explored how stigma manifests in RAPID ART encounters and whether RAPID ART interventions influence indivi…
Late-Holocene climate changes linked to ecosystem shifts in the Northwest Wisconsin Sand Plain, USA
Records of century-scale climate variability in the Upper Midwest generally agree that moisture availability increased between 4000 and 3000 cal. yr BP (calendar years before present = 1950 CE), and that there were large, frequent droughts 1000–700 cal. yr BP followed by wetter/cooler conditions. Variability among regional sites, however, remains problematic. In this study we reconstruct climate on the Northwest Wisconsin Sand Plain (NWSP), USA, …
The effects of anthropogenic land cover change on pollen-vegetation relationships in the American Midwest
Charcoal signatures defined by multivariate analysis of charcoal records from 10 lakes in northwest Wisconsin (USA)
We show how sedimentary charcoal records from multiple sites within a single landscape can be used to compare fire histories and reveal small scale patterns in fire regimes. Our objective is to develop strategies for classifying and comparing late-Holocene charcoal records in Midwestern oak- and pine-dominated sand plain ecosystems where fire regimes include a mix of surface and crown fires. Using standard techniques for the analysis of charcoal …
The response of a jack pine forest to late-Holocene climate variability in northwestern Wisconsin
Terrestrial plant communities have the potential to respond to climate change rapidly, if dominant species are killed by a series of extreme events, or slowly, if the cumulative effects of shorter-term climate fluctuations result in long-term compositional change. We used pollen and charcoal records from a lake and a testate amoebae-derived history of water-table depth in a nearby peatland to assess the response of the jack pine-dominated forests…
Interpretation of charcoal morphotypes in sediments from Ferry Lake, Wisconsin, USA
We describe five common charcoal morphotypes observed in late-Holocene lake sediments from northern Wisconsin and compare them with charcoal produced by burning modern plant material. Our experiments show that grass cuticle, conifer wood and leaves of some broadleaved taxa all produce recognizable charcoal types that are preserved in sediments. We use the identification of charcoal morphotypes to enhance our interpretation of a previously publish…
Late-Holocene vegetation and fire history from Ferry Lake, northwestern Wisconsin, USA
We used charcoal and fossil pollen to investigate how fire, vegetation and climate have interacted over the past 2300 years at Ferry Lake, located on a sand plain in northwestern Wisconsin. Pollen analysis shows a rapid transition from oak (Quercus spp.)-dominated woodland to a relatively open pine (Pinus spp.) forest at 1450 cal. yr BP, and a more closed-canopy pine forest beginning about 700 cal. yr BP. We calculated accumulation rates of 125-2…
