Measuring Income Inequality Within 8 Health Care Professions in the United States
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated intraoccupational income and wage-rate distributions across 8 health care professions: physicians and surgeons, dentists, physician assistants, optometrists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and nurse midwives, physical therapists, and registered nurses. METHODS: The research was based on a sample of 142,527 U.S. practitioners from the 2019 to 2022 American Community Survey (ACS) and focused on 4 inequality ind…
Using epidemiological data to explore the impact of mental health and substance use disorder treatment facilities and family planning clinic availability on pre-exposure prophylaxis use for women in t…
Ending the HIV epidemic by 2030 is partly dependent on preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), but usage has been markedly low among women. This study sought to determine if access to mental health and substance use disorder treatment, and family planning clinics have an impact on women's PrEP uptake. Using epidemiological data from publicly available data sources, we employed a difference-in-differences design to quantify the effect of the availability …
What Is the Effect of Medicaid Expansions on Preexposure Prophylaxis for HIV Prevention Use among Women
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a key biomedical tool for combatting HIV spread, but women account for only 5% of users. Between 2015 and 2019, men saw a 9% decrease in new HIV diagnoses, while rates among women remained constant. Using a difference-in-differences regression model and state level HIV surveillance data (utilizing sex assigned at birth) reported by AIDSVu from 2012 to 2021, we examined the impact of Medicaid expansions under the…
Gender and ethnic disparities in students’ perceptions of how different groups of persons suspected of possessing and/or selling illegal drugs are treated in the criminal justice system
Ethnic minorities and individuals of low socioeconomics status are disproportionately more likely to be detained, arrested, and convicted and receive longer sentences for drug offenses. This article explores gender and ethnic differentials among college students' perceptions on the criminal justice treatment of different gender, ethnic, and income groups applied to alleged drug offenders. It uses survey data provided by students at a large public…
Impact of Antidepressant Use on Healthcare Utilization among Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and Depression Symptoms in the United States: Sociodemographic, Clinical, and Behavioral Factors Matter
Individuals with diabetes are twice as likely to struggle from depressive symptoms than individuals without diabetes. However, this joint condition is undertreated in nearly two-thirds of patients. Failure to monitor the comorbidity may lead to suboptimal therapy. This study evaluated the association of antidepressant use with healthcare utilization in a national sample of patients with type 2 diabetes and depression symptoms in the United States…

Cannabis Use and Antisocial Behavior among Youth
Despite the numerous efforts to curb substance use and abuse through legislation and interventions, marijuana consumption continues to be a major social problem, particularly among young adults in the United States. We provide new information on the relationship between cannabis use and antisocial behavior by analyzing a sample of young adults (aged 18-20) from the National Epidemiological Survey of Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). We exa…
