From Detroit to Kansas City
Background: The United States lags peer nations in infant mortality, with persistent racial and geographic inequities. In Missouri, Black infants experience mortality rates more than double those of White infants. Addressing these disparities requires community-driven interventions beginning before conception and extending beyond routine perinatal care. Objectives: We describe the development and feasibility of Women & Person-Empowered Community …
Public Health in the Political Sphere
Calls for depoliticizing public health often conflate politicization with partisanship, limiting the tools we have to advance health equity. We argue, through the lens of zero-fare public transit, that promoting health equity is an inherently political process. The processes that advance access to public services as a public good exist in the political sphere and have direct impacts on the health of vulnerable populations. To advance population h…
Effects of a Faith-Based, Multilevel Intervention on HIV-Related Stigma and HIV Knowledge Among African American Church-Affiliated Populations
BACKGROUND: HIV-related stigmas contribute to HIV disparities, which faith-based organizations could address, but few studies have measured faith-based HIV intervention effects on HIV-related stigmas. METHODS: Taking It to the Pews (TIPS) is a multilevel, religiously tailored HIV prevention intervention developed and implemented with faith leaders. Over 12 months, trained church health liaisons implemented the TIPS Toolkit (e.g., HIV sermon guide…
HIV Testing in African American Churches
To examine effects of a multilevel, religiously-tailored HIV testing intervention, Taking It to the Pews (TIPS), on receipt of HIV testing with African American church-affiliated populations, 14 African American churches (N = 1,491) were randomized to TIPS or a multilevel, non-tailored HIV education attention-control arm in a cluster-randomized trial (Kansas City urban area, 2013 to 2019). Receipt of an HIV test was examined using objective data …
Impacts of zero-fare transit policy on health and social determinants
Population-level efforts are needed to increase levels of physical activity and healthy eating to reduce and manage chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Interventions to increase public transit use may be one promising strategy, particularly for low-income communities or populations of color who are disproportionately burdened by health disparities and transportation barriers. This study employs a natural…
The Importance of Community-Based and Community-Partnered Covid-19 Testing for Reducing Disparities Among African American Populations
Background: Health inequalities in African American communities have been further exacerbated by COVID-19. Public health departments and other safety-net providers across the United States have partnered with community-based organizations to address barriers to COVID-19 testing in disproportionately impacted communities. This narrative review summarizes lessons learned from published examples of these community-based COVID-19 testing efforts. Met…

Covid-19 Testing in African American Churches Using a Faith–Health– Academic Partnership
Increasing access to COVID-19 testing in influential, accessible community settings is needed to address COVID-19 disparities among African Americans. We describe COVID-19 testing intervention approaches conducted in Kansas City, Missouri, African American churches via a faith–health–academic partnership. Trained faith leaders promoted COVID-19 testing with church and community members by implementing multilevel interventions using a tailored too…

The Impact of Emotional, Physical, and Sexual Abuse on Contraceptive Method Selection and Discontinuation
Objectives. We evaluated the impact of exposure to emotional, physical, or sexual abuse on contraceptive method selection and discontinuation. Methods. We performed a secondary analysis of 7170 women enrolled in the Contraceptive CHOICE Project in St. Louis, Missouri, a prospective cohort study in which 9256 women were provided their preferred method of contraception at no cost from 2007 to 2011. We defined contraceptive discontinuation as device…
Effectiveness of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception
BACKGROUND: The rate of unintended pregnancy in the United States is much higher than in other developed nations. Approximately half of unintended pregnancies are due to contraceptive failure, largely owing to inconsistent or incorrect use. METHODS: We designed a large prospective cohort study to promote the use of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods as a means of reducing unintended pregnancies in our region. Participants were provided …
Preventing Unintended Pregnancies by Providing No-Cost Contraception
OBJECTIVE: To promote the use of long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods (intrauterine devices [IUDs] and implants) and provide contraception at no cost to a large cohort of participants in an effort to reduce unintended pregnancies in our region. METHODS: We enrolled 9,256 adolescents and women at risk for unintended pregnancy into the Contraceptive CHOICE Project, a prospective cohort study of adolescents and women desiring reversib…

Correlates of the Stages of Change for Physical Activity in a Population Survey
Objectives. We sought to identify variables associated with being in a particular stage of change for physical activity—a measure of behavioral intention to engage in regular physical activity. Understanding behavioral intentions can be useful in explaining why individuals are physically inactive or active. Methods. Data from the Rhode Island 2000 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were used to evaluate predictors of stage of change for p…
The Influence of Stress on the Menstrual Cycle among Newly Incarcerated Women
Longitudinal study of the inception of perimenopause in relation to lifetime history of sexual or physical violence
Study objective: To investigate of the extent to which violence over the life course accelerates the onset of perimenopause, as measured by menstrual changes. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Boston, Massachusetts. Participants: 603 premenopausal women aged 36–45 years at baseline who completed a cross sectional survey on childhood and adult violence history. Main outcome measure: Time to perimenopause, defined as time in months from ba…
