Community-driven secondary distribution of Covid-19 rapid antigen home tests in high-vulnerability Chicago neighborhoods: A community case study
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: An Academic-Community Partnership to Promote Covid-19 Health Equity
Clustering of Social Determinants of Health as an Indicator of Meaningful Subgroups within an African American Population: Application of Latent Class Analysis
The findings support the utility of analytically determining meaningful subgroups among a sample of AA people and their social determinants of health. Understanding the differences within an underserved population may contribute to future interventions to eliminate health disparities

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Hospital Admissions of Emergency Department Covid-19 Patients
BACKGROUND: Several studies have found that among patients testing positive for COVID-19 within a health care system, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic patients are more likely than non-Hispanic White patients to be hospitalized. However, previous studies have looked at odds of being admitted using all positive tests in the system and not only those seeking care in the emergency department (ED). OBJECTIVE: This study examined racial/ethnic differen…
Trauma exposure, PTSD symptoms, and tobacco use: Does church attendance buffer negative effects
Traumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are overrepresented in urban African American communities, and associated with health risk behaviors such as tobacco use. Support and resources provided by churches may reduce trauma-related health risks. In the current study, we assessed weekly church attendance as a moderator of relations between (a) traumatic event exposure and probable PTSD, and (b) probable PTSD and tobacco use. Data …
Association of community-level inequities and premature mortality: Chicago, 2011–2015
Background Substantial disparities in life expectancy exist between Chicago’s 77 defined community areas, ranging from approximately 69 to 85 years. Prior work in New York City and Boston has shown that community-level racial and economic segregation as measured by the Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) is strongly related to premature mortality. This novel metric allows for the joint assessment of area-based income and racial polarisat…
Mexican American Trial of Community Health Workers: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Community Health Worker Intervention for Mexican Americans With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Objectives. We assessed whether community health workers (CHWs) could improve glycemic control among Mexican Americans with diabetes. Methods. We recruited 144 Mexican Americans with type 2 diabetes between January 2006 and September 2008 into the single-blinded, randomized controlled Mexican American Trial of Community Health Workers (MATCH) and followed them for 2 years. Participants were assigned to either a CHW intervention, delivering self-m…
Does self-management counseling in patients with heart failure improve quality of life? Findings from the Heart Failure Adherence and Retention Trial (Hart)
Cortisol and Depressive Symptoms in a Population-Based Cohort of Midlife Women
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is a relationship between depressive symptoms and cortisol assessed at first morning awakening, 6 PM, and 9 PM in a population-based sample of midlife women. If this relationship is not linear, we aim to test whether this relationship is nonlinear, only present in those with more severe depressive symptoms, better accounted for by diurnal slope, or only apparent under uncontaminated conditions. METHODS: We in…
