Rapid Identification of HIV Among People Who Inject Drugs
Syringe Service Programs (SSPs) have proven effective in reducing HIV transmission among people who inject drugs (PWID). However, early HIV detection remains an underutilized opportunity for preventing transmission and curbing outbreaks. This paper emphasizes the impact of implementing routine, opt-out HIV screening within SSPs as a strategy to enhance early detection and prevention efforts. In 2022, the IDEA Exchange Tampa, Florida's second lega…
Community Resilience Estimates and HIV Health Outcomes
This study aims to better understand the association between community social vulnerabilities (e.g., income-to-poverty ratio, health insurance coverage) and the ability of people with HIV (PWH) to achieve viral suppression and optimal CD4 cell count levels. We conducted an observational study within the CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS) cohort of adult PWH in care at two CNICS sites between 1/2015 and 3/2023 with an identifiable…
Pathways from maternal shyness to adolescent social anxiety
BACKGROUND: Social anxiety is amongst the most prevalent adolescent mental health problems; however, it is often unrecognized due to its comorbidity with other anxiety problems such as generalized anxiety. Thus, understanding the unique developmental pathways to social anxiety is critical for improving its prevention. We examined the pathway from maternal shyness, when children were 4 years old, to adolescents' social anxiety at age 15 through so…
Seeking congruity for communal and agentic goals
An abundance of literature has examined barriers to women’s equitable representation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, with many studies demonstrating that STEM fields are not perceived to afford communal goals, a key component of women’s interest in future careers. Using Goal Congruity Theory as a framework, we tested the longitudinal impact of perceptions of STEM career goal affordances, personal communal and agentic …
Applied Medical Anthropology and Structurally Informed Emergency Care in the Evolving Context of Covid-19
This article describes the integration of medical anthropologists as direct members of health care teams within a large, urban teaching hospital as a means to address the role of structural inequality in unequal health care delivery within the context of COVID-19. The pandemic starkly underlined the role structural forces such as food insecurity, housing instability, and unequal access to health insurance play among vulnerable populations that se…
Transactional Associations Between Parent and Late Adolescent Internalizing Symptoms During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Influence of Neighborhood Aesthetics, Safety, and Social Cohesion on Perceived Stress in Disadvantaged Communities
Limited research has explored how specific elements of physical and social environments influence mental health indicators such as perceived stress, or whether such associations are moderated by gender. This study examined the relationship between selected neighborhood characteristics and perceived stress levels within a primarily low‐income, older, African‐American population in a mid‐sized city in the Southeastern U.S. Residents ( n = 394; mean…
