Mental health burden associated with specific ocular conditions among Medicare Advantage beneficiaries with type 2 diabetes
Objective: To examine differences in mental health burden across ocular conditions among Medicare Advantage patients with type 2 diabetes in the United States. Methods: Pooled national claims data were obtained from 992 individuals with type 2 diabetes and ocular conditions who completed the CDC Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire between 2016 and 2020. Covariates included demographic characteristics and health conditions. A generalized …

A qualitative exploration of mental health first aid training in underserved communities facing repeated extreme weather events
The results suggest that MHFA training meaningfully improved participants' recognition of mental health challenges, confidence in offering support, and awareness of available resources, even within communities facing repeated disaster exposure. These findings also indicate that MHFA may strengthen community capacity for the early identification and response to mental health needs by equipping residents with practical skills that they actively app…
Intersecting risks
This study investigates the evolving intersection of social vulnerability, climate exposure, and mental health distress in Harris County, Texas, from 2014 to 2022, with projections through 2030. Using census tract-level data and integrating indicators from the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, climate exposure metrics, and mental health outcomes, we developed predictive models to forecast future trends. Results indicate a significant rise in overal…
Not “woke” agendas, basic human rights
Disaster preparedness has become increasingly essential in mitigating the personal impacts of climate change. However, vulnerable communities struggling with preparedness continue to face disproportionate risks and outcomes, particularly in Houston—a city affected by successive, historic federally declared disasters. This piece seeks to reframe disaster preparedness, response, and recovery through the lens of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, arguing …
What waiver? A qualitative exploration of awareness of the X-waiver among underserved patients and providers and the impact on tele-OUD services uptake
TOUDS were viewed more positively by providers and patients in the post-waiver era; however, this change was not attributed to the removal of the wavier. Specifically, many patient-identified barriers prior to the removal of the X-waiver were not reported in our post-X-waiver study, and TOUDS benefits were instead emphasized. Our findings provide critical insight into the perceptions of TOUDS from both providers and patients in the post-X-waiver …
Consolidation in an Era of Population Health and Value-Based Care
Consolidation of health care providers, and vertical integration of physicians with hospitals and/or payers has accelerated over the past 15 years. Although there is potential for consolidation to improve patient care, efficiencies and reduce overhead costs, participants in our conference identified that almost all research on consolidation has shown increased cost without improvement in outcomes or the experience of care. To provide a framework …
The Influence of Structural Factors and Telemedicine on Missed Appointments Among Medicaid-Insured Patients
Access to technology, internet usage, and online health information-seeking behaviors in a racially diverse, lower-income population
Background: This study examined access to technology, internet usage, and online health information-seeking behaviors, in a racially diverse, lower-income population. Methods: Data were obtained via a cross-sectional survey of low-income communities in Houston, Los Angeles, and New York between April and August 2023. Binary responses to the following online health information-seeking behaviors, internet and technology access, were examined: using…

The Effects of Covid-19 Lockdown on Social Connectedness and Psychological Distress in U.S. Adults with Chronic Diseases
Lockdown measures enacted in 2020 to control the spread of COVID-19 led to increases in the prevalence of mental health problems. Due to their high-risk status, individuals with chronic diseases may be at increased risk and disproportionately adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators examined associations between having a high-risk chronic condition, social connectedness, and general distress and COVID-19-specific distress am…

Optimizing Disaster Preparedness Planning for Minority Older Adults
By 2050, one in five Americans will be 65 years and older. The growing proportion of older adults in the U.S. population has implications for many aspects of health including disaster preparedness. This study assessed correlates of disaster preparedness among community-dwelling minority older adults and explored unique differences for African American and Hispanic older adults. An electronic survey was disseminated to older minority adults 55+, b…
Correlates of Social Isolation Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Background: The past year has severely curtailed social interactions among older adults given their high rates of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. This study examined social, behavioral, and medical correlates of social isolation among community-dwelling older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and stratified findings to explore unique differences in two typically neglected populations, African American and Hispanic older adults. Methods: Worki…
Health Disparities and Climate Change
Although evidence suggests that successive climate disasters are on the rise, few studies have documented the disproportionate impacts on communities of color. Through the unique lens of successive disaster events (Hurricane Harvey and Winter Storm Uri) coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic, we assessed disaster exposure in minority communities in Harris County, Texas. A mixed methods approach employing qualitative and quantitative designs was used …
Factors Associated with Covid-Related Mortality
Health Care Disparities in the Post–Affordable Care Act Era
Disparities in health care have been targeted for elimination by federal agencies and professional organizations, including the American Public Health Association. Although the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides a valuable first step in reducing the disparities gap, progress is contingent upon whether opportunities in the ACA help or hinder populations at risk for impaired health and limited access to medical care
