Uncovering geographic variations in HIV burden and prevention
Despite advancements in HIV prevention and treatment, disparities persist across the U.S. that are geographically and demographically unique. This study analyzed HIV burden and prevention efforts in three urban counties, Suffolk County, MA (Boston), Orange County, FL (Orlando), and Philadelphia County, PA (Philadelphia), using AIDSVu data. We assessed HIV prevalence, new diagnoses, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) use, PrEP-to-Need Ratio (PnR), an…
Health-related quality of life in racial and ethnic minority adults with type 2 diabetes
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) assessment provides insights into the lived experiences of diverse populations. This study evaluated the convergent validity and responsiveness of the EQ-5D-3L in racial/ethnic minority populations with type 2 diabetes and elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Secondary data from a clinical trial of a diabetes adherence support intervention for African-American and Latinx patients with type 2 diabetes (NCT02990299…
Examining Coping Behaviors Associated with Depression among People with Type 2 Diabetes from May-July 2020
Objectives: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and depression require self-management and resilience. Isolation during the early COVID-19 pandemic may have negatively impacted self-management behaviors in those with T2D and depression. We sought to determine differences in coping behaviors associated with depression in those with T2D during the early pandemic. Methods: Using the All of Us Research Program, we analyzed a cohort of adults with T2D who completed…
Interventions to Mitigate the Impact of Covid-19 Among People Experiencing Sheltered Homelessness
Objectives. To compare the incidence, case-hospitalization rates, and vaccination rates of COVID-19 between people experiencing sheltered homelessness (PESH) and the broader community in Chicago, Illinois, and describe the impact of a whole community approach to disease mitigation during the public health emergency. Methods. Incidence of COVID-19 among PESH was compared with community-wide incidence using case-based surveillance data from March 1…
Association of neighborhood-level sociodemographic factors with Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) distribution of Covid-19 rapid antigen tests in 5 US communities
Our findings suggest that online ordering is not associated with geospatial clustering based on sociodemographic characteristics. Observed temporal preferences for DTC ordering can guide public health messaging around DTC testing programs
Predicting Adolescent Intervention Non-responsiveness for Precision HIV Prevention Using Machine Learning
Interventions to teach protective behaviors may be differentially effective within an adolescent population. Identifying the characteristics of youth who are less likely to respond to an intervention can guide program modifications to improve its effectiveness. Using comprehensive longitudinal data on adolescent risk behaviors, perceptions, sensation-seeking, peer and family influence, and neighborhood risk factors from 2564 grade 10-12 students …
Bailamos With mHealth Technology! Improving Physical Activity and Well-Being in Middle-Aged and Older Latinxs
Older Latinxs engage in lower levels of leisure-time physical activity (PA) compared with non-Latinx Whites. Latin dance is a culturally relevant type of leisure-time PA that may engage older Latinx populations, particularly when coupled with mobile health technologies (mHealth). This single group pre–post feasibility study described the PA and health outcomes of middle-aged and older Latinxs participating in BAILA TECH—an intervention that combi…
