Objectives. To describe HIV testing among clients in the Targeted Highly Effective Interventions to Reverse the HIV Epidemic (THRIVE) demonstration project and evaluate testing frequency. Methods. We identified factors associated with an average testing frequency of 180 days or less compared with more than 180 days using adjusted Poisson regression models. We performed the Kaplan–Meier survival analysis to compare time to diagnosis by testing fre…
Evaluating for health equity among a cluster of health departments implementing PrEP services
Going beyond performance measures in HIV-prevention
Project PrIDE (PrEP Implementation, Data to Care, and Evaluation) was a multi-site demonstration project implemented in 12 health departments (HDs) from 2016 to 2019. In Project PrIDE, there were two monitoring and evaluation components: crossjurisdictional performance monitoring (CJPM) and local program evaluation (LE). Project PrIDE was innovative in that a portion of funds were allocated for LE in order to support robust process and outcome ev…

Factors Associated with Exchange Sex Among Cisgender Persons Who Inject Drugs
The Relationship Between Social Vulnerability and Covid-19 Incidence Among Louisiana Census Tracts
Objective: To examine the association between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and COVID-19 incidence among Louisiana census tracts. Methods: An ecological study comparing the CDC SVI and census tract-level COVID-19 case counts was conducted. Choropleth maps were used to identify census tracts with high levels of both social vulnerability and COVID-19 incidence. Negative binomial regression w…
A psychometric assessment of a network social capital scale among sexual minority men and gender minority individuals
This study extended the psychometric properties of a preliminary social capital instrument modified from a prior study in a different population and context. The modified measure has implications for use among sexual minority men and gender minority individuals to measure social capital within social networks. Previous studies suggest that interventions to enhance social capital among sexual minority men and gender minority individuals may be ben…
Evaluation of Rapid Testing Algorithms for Venue-based Anonymous HIV Testing among Non-HIV-Positive Men Who Have Sex with Men, National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS), 2017
HIV rapid testing algorithms (RTAs) using any two orthogonal rapid tests (RTs) allow for on-site confirmation of infection. RTs vary in performance characteristics therefore the selection of RTs in an algorithm may affect identification of infection, particularly if acute. National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) assessed RTAs among men who have sex with men recruited using anonymous venue-based sampling. Different algorithms were evaluated am…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex with Men — 23 Urban Areas, 2017
National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, September 27, directs attention to the impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) on gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). In 2017, MSM accounted for 67% of new diagnoses of HIV infection, and MSM who inject drugs an additional 3% (1).
Changes in HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Awareness and Use Among Men Who Have Sex with Men — 20 Urban Areas, 2014 and 2017
Human Services proposed a strategic initiative to end the human immunodeficiency (HIV) epidemic in the United States by reducing new HIV infections by 90% during 2020-2030* (1). Phase 1 of the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative focuses on Washington, DC; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and 48 counties where the majority of new diagnoses of HIV infection in 2016 and 2017 were concentrated and on seven states with a disproportionate occurrence of HIV in rur…
Network Properties Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men Vary by Race
PrEP indicators, social capital and social group memberships among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Efforts to reduce HIV among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men include increasing awareness and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Social capital may facilitate engagement in HIV prevention. Membership of social groups including chosen families (i.e. friends as family relationships) - one potential indicator of social capital - may be protective against HIV risk and infection. In this cross-sectional quantitative study, we …
Resilience, Distress, and Dependence Influence Injection Related Risk among People Who Inject Drugs
Making the Connection
Adaptation of the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model to Needle Sharing Behaviors and Hepatitis C Risk
The current study adapts the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills (IMB) model of health behavior to injection drug using risk behaviors and risk for Hepatitis C (HCV). Briefly, this model postulates that prevention behaviors are directly influenced by an individual’s knowledge about a disease, their motivation to avoid the disease and their skills and capacity to engage in prevention behaviors, while information and motivation also directly i…

Randomized Trials of the Teen Outreach Program in Louisiana and Rochester, New York
Objectives. To evaluate the Teen Outreach Program, a pregnancy prevention program, in 2 community-based settings. Methods. We evaluated the Teen Outreach Program, a 9-month positive youth development program, in 3 cohorts of youths from 2012 to 2015 in 2 states. In Louisiana, 7 agencies participated in an individualized randomized controlled trial, with youths randomly assigned to a treatment or control condition. Fourteen agencies in Rochester, …
Smoking and Experiences with Tobacco Cessation Among Men Who Have Sex with Men
Patient perspectives on tobacco cessation services for persons living with HIV/Aids
With the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy, the survival for HIV-infected individuals has increased, but other health-related behaviors have been largely unaddressed. Tobacco use is of primary concern, given its prevalence and the medical implications of smoking among these patients. Improving responsiveness to the needs, values, and preferences of patients (i.e., patient-centeredness) is a focus for increasing participation in syste…
Changes in CD4 count among persons living with HIV/Aids following Hurricane Katrina
To examine the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the disease progression of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A), CD4 counts during the 18 months immediately prior and subsequent to Katrina were obtained from the Louisiana Office of Public Health. PLWH/A were determined to be either non-residents of the New Orleans area, returning evacuees or evacuees who had returned to the area within 18 months. A mixed model repeated measures ANOVA showed signi…
Estimating the Return of Persons Living With HIV/Aids to New Orleans
Hurricane Katrina disrupted HIV/AIDS surveillance by invalidating the New Orleans, La, surveillance and population data on persons living with HIV/AIDS. We describes 2 methods—population return and HIV surveillance data—to estimate the return of the infected population to New Orleans. It is estimated that 58% to 64% of 7068 persons living with HIV/AIDS returned by summer 2006. Although developed for HIV planning, these methods could be used with …
Recruiting Injection Drug Users
Several recent studies have utilized respondent-driven sampling (RDS) methods to survey hidden populations such as commercial sex-workers, men who have sex with men (MSM) and injection drug users (IDU). Few studies, however, have provided a direct comparison between RDS and other more traditional sampling methods such as venue-based, targeted or time/space sampling. The current study sampled injection drug users in three U.S. cities using RDS and…

Industrial Organization and Consumer Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction
This study brings together the fields of industrial organization and consumer research in an attempt to account for variations in consumer dissatisfaction among product categories. A major portion of these variations is empirically accounted for by distributional and cost/size factors. The theoretical explanations behind the empirical associations are discussed in the context of the correspondence between economic theory and consumer data

An Empirical Pooling Approach for Estimating Marketing Mix Elasticities with Pims Data
The PIMS (Profit Impact of Marketing Strategies) data entail sparse time-series observations for a large number of strategic business units (SBUs), In order to estimate disaggregate marketing mix elasticities of demand, a natural solution is to pool different SBUs. The traditional, a priori approach is to pool together those SBUs which one believes in advance to be very similar with respect to their marketing mix elasticities. We propose an alter…
