Uncovering geographic variations in HIV burden and prevention: A comparative analysis of AIDSVu data across three U.S. counties
Despite advancements in HIV prevention and treatment, disparities persist across the U.S. that are geographically and demographically unique. This study analyzed HIV burden and prevention efforts in three urban counties, Suffolk County, MA (Boston), Orange County, FL (Orlando), and Philadelphia County, PA (Philadelphia), using AIDSVu data. We assessed HIV prevalence, new diagnoses, Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) use, PrEP-to-Need Ratio (PnR), an…
The Relationship Between Healthcare Organizational Magnet® Status and Scores on the Human Rights Campaign Healthcare Equality Index: A Comparative Temporal Analysis
The Human Rights Campaign's annual Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) evaluates participating organizations' (n = 906) treatment of LGBTQ+ employees and clients. Higher HEI scores reflect greater equitable treatment of LGBTQ+ persons, a mark of merit for the organization. The American Nurses Credentialing Center recognizes nursing excellence in healthcare organization by designating them Magnet® institutions (n = 612). Blackwell and colleagues showe…
Using Various Types of Embedded Participants to Enhance Culturally Congruent, Family-Centered Simulation-Based Education
Background Simulation provides a controlled, standardized experience, where learners have increased autonomy to provide culturally congruent care in a healthcare disparity scenario. Importance is noted for scenarios including pediatric populations, to include role players such as the caregiver. The simulation in this study emphasized paternal involvement in the care of a 12-hour-old newborn within a Family-Centered Care Model (FCCM) using embedde…
Paradoxical Obesity and Overweight Disparities Among Sexual Minority Men: A Meta-Analysis
This study aims to analyze the prevalence and likelihood of overweight, obesity, and elevated body mass index (BMI) among sexual minority men (i.e., men who have sex with men [MSM], men who have sex with men and women [MSMW], and all sexual minority men), using men who have sex with women (MSW) as the reference group. Studies reporting mean BMIs or prevalence or likelihood of obesity, overweight, or elevated BMI categorized by sexual orientation …
Assessing Health-Related Quality of Life Among Survivors of Testicular Cancer: A Systematic Review
This study aimed to determine if the current health-related quality of life (HRQoL) tools created for survivors of testicular cancer are collecting the highest quality of data via a two-step methodological critique of both the seminal studies that produced a survivor of testicular cancer HRQoL tool (Phase 1) and the actual tool itself (Phase 2). It is the goal of this current article to present and discuss Phase 1. A systematic review aimed to as…
Epidemiological Characteristics of Road Traffic Injuries Involving Children in Three Central American Countries, 2012–2015
Although motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are a worldwide public health concern due to their high injury, mortality, and fatality rates, few studies have addressed the epidemiologic behavior of MVCs in Latin American youth. Thus, this study was aimed at describing and comparing the characteristics of MVCs involving 0 to 14-year-olds in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Panama. A secondary aim was to estimate the crude MVC-related injury, fatality, and mo…
