An application of the augmented synthetic control method within a target trial framework
In this study, we illustrated the use of the augmented synthetic control methodology within a target trial framework with group-level longitudinal data. Our estimates of the impact of SSB tax policy on the obesity prevalence in California were imprecise
Evaluating the effect of the end of the Covid-19 uninsured programme on Covid-19 vaccine administration in California
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 Claims Reimbursement for Vaccine Administration for the Uninsured Programme (COVID-19 Uninsured Programme), a novel, short-term federal initiative, reimbursed providers for healthcare-related expenses incurred through the vaccination of individuals without healthcare coverage. The present study aimed to characterise the use of the COVID-19 Uninsured Programme in California and estimate the effect of the end of the progr…
Investigating the role of chronic stress and perceived discrimination in racial disparities in incident dementia among U.S. older adults
Exploring the role of blood pressure in the black-white disparity in cardiovascular disease mortality
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in the USA, and high blood pressure is a major risk factor for CVD. Despite the overall declining rates of CVD mortality in the USA in recent years, marked disparities between racial and ethnic groups persist, with black adults having a higher mortality rate than white adults. We investigated the extent to which blood pressure mediated the black-white disparity in CVD morta…
Modeling Covid-19 infection dynamics and mitigation strategies for in-person K-6 instruction
Background: U.S. school closures due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to extended periods of remote learning and social and economic impact on families. Uncertainty about virus dynamics made it difficult for school districts to develop mitigation plans that all stakeholders consider to be safe. Methods: We developed an agent-based model of infection dynamics and preventive mitigation designed as a conceptual tool to give sc…
Forecasting Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Incidence and Burden
Background: Obesity is a major public health problem affecting millions of Americans and is considered one of the most potent risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Assessing future disease burden is important for informing policy-decision making for population health and healthcare. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a computer model of a cohort of children born in Los Angeles County to study the life course incidence and trends of obesi…
Measuring impact of storyline engagement on health knowledge, attitudes, and norms
Background: "Cest la Vie!" (CLV) is a serial drama that entertains, educates, and promotes positive health behaviors and social change for West African audiences. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if watching the CLV Season 2 series online had an impact on people's health knowledge, attitudes, and norms, focusing on populations in francophone West Africa. Methods: Between July 2019 and October 2019, viewers of CLV and non-viewers were rec…
Substance use and sexual risk behaviors among Peruvian MSM social media users
Peru is experiencing a concentrated HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM). Substance use (alcohol and drug use) has been found to be associated with HIV-related sexual risk behaviors. A recent surge in the number of social media users in Peru has enabled these technologies to be potential tools for reaching HIV at-risk individuals. This study sought to assess the relationship between substance use and sexual risk behaviors among Peru…
Associations between self-perception of weight, food choice intentions, and consumer response to calorie information
Self-perception of weight was found to be associated with the intention to select lower-calorie foods under the scenario that calorie information was available at point-of-purchase. Future public health efforts to support menu labeling implementation should consider these and other findings to inform consumer education and communications strategies that can be tailored to assist restaurant patrons with this forthcoming federal law
Agent-Based Modeling of Noncommunicable Diseases
We reviewed the use of agent-based modeling (ABM), a systems science method, in understanding noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and their public health risk factors. We systematically reviewed studies in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Sciences published from January 2003 to July 2014. We retrieved 22 relevant articles; each had an observational or interventional design. Physical activity and diet were the most-studied outcomes. Often, single age…
