  • Racial Differences in the Association Between School Quality and Adult Health

    Open AccessBenjamin P L Meza, Kevin Hoang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Racial and Ethnic…2026

    Although school quality is associated with greater educational attainment and better health in population-wide studies, it remains unclear whether these effects are experienced similarly across racial and ethnic groups in the USA. To explore this question, we used the nationally representative National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to examine the association between four individual school quality indicators (student promotion r…

    OBJECTIVES: We examined how individual-level turnover among Veterans Health Administration primary care providers (PCPs) from fiscal years 2017 to 2021 was associated with health care system-level burnout and turnover intent. BACKGROUND: Burnout among PCPs has been well documented in recent studies, but less is known about the potential relationship between burnout and turnover. METHODS: We identified a national cohort of 6444 PCPs (physicians, n…

  • Multilevel perceptions of the virtual delivery of the University of California Diabetes Prevention Program on RE-AIM domains due to Covid-19 mandates

    Open AccessTamra Loeb, Tamra Burns Loeb et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background The University of California’s Diabetes Prevention Program (UC DPP) Initiative was implemented across all 10 UC campuses in 2018. The COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying mandates required swift changes to program delivery, including pivoting from in-person to virtual delivery (i.e., Zoom). Our goal was to assess multilevel constituent perceptions of the use of a virtual platform to deliver UC DPP due to COVID-19 mandates. Methods We con…

  • Sexist, Racist, and Homophobic Violence against Paramedics in a Single Canadian Site

    Open AccessJustin Mausz, Joel D’Eath et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2024

    Violence against paramedics is widely recognized as a serious, but underreported, problem. While injurious physical attacks on paramedics are generally reported, non-physical violence is less likely to be documented. Verbal abuse can be very distressing, particularly if the harassment targets personal or cultural identities, such as race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Leveraging a novel, point-of-event reporting process, our objective…

  • Determinants to Tele-Mental Health Services Utilization Among California Adults

    Open AccessHafifa Siddiq, Kristen Choi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant and Minority…2024

    To investigate the relationship of predisposing, enabling, need, and immigration-related factors to tele-mental health services utilization among California adults, we conducted a secondary analysis of two waves of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) collected between 2015 and 2018 (N = 78,345). A series of logistic regression models were conducted to examine correlates and predictors to tele-mental health services use. Approximately 1.…

  • Rural prioritization may increase the impact of Covid-19 vaccines in a representative Covax AMC country setting due to ongoing internal migration

    Open AccessPrashanth Selvaraj, Bradley G Wagner et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    How COVID-19 vaccine is distributed within low- and middle-income countries has received little attention outside of equity or logistical concerns but may ultimately affect campaign impact in terms of infections, severe cases, or deaths averted. In this study we examined whether subnational (urban-rural) prioritization may affect the cumulative two-year impact on disease transmission and burden of a vaccination campaign using an agent-based model…

  • Protected 911

    Open AccessJustin Mausz, Nicholas A Jackson et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Patients with COVID-19 who require aerosol-generating medical procedures (such as endotracheal intubation) are challenging for paramedic services. Although potentially lifesaving for patients, aerosolizing procedures carry an increased risk of infection for paramedics, owing to the resource limitations and complexities of the pre-hospital setting. In this paper, we describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of a novel pre-hospital C…
