Community Engagement in Long Covid: Insights From the Boston Covid Recovery Cohort
BACKGROUND: In 2021, the National Institutes of Health launched a multi-centre observational study on long Covid: Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery (RECOVER). Six Boston academic medical centres joined community partners to become the Boston COVID Recovery Cohort (BCRC), a consortium of RECOVER sites. Our consortium developed a community engagement model, and this manuscript shares lessons and recommendations. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: The BCR…
Long Covid impacts: The voices and views of diverse Black and Latinx residents in Massachusetts
There is a need for multilingual, accessible information about Long COVID symptoms, improved outreach and healthcare delivery, and increased ease of enrollment in long-term disability and economic support programs
Achieving a Representative Sample of Asian Americans in Biomedical Research Through Community-Based Approaches: Comparing Demographic Data in the All of Us Research Program With the American Community…
Background: Underrepresented persons are often not included in biomedical research. It is unknown if the general Asian American population is being represented in All of Us . The purpose of this study was to compare the Asian demographic data in the All of Us cohort with the Asian nationally representative data from the American Community Survey. Method: Demographic characteristics and health literacy of Asians in All of Us were examined. Finding…
Assessment of the Massachusetts Flexible Services Program to Address Food and Housing Insecurity in a Medicaid Accountable Care Organization
This mixed-methods qualitative evaluation study found that to improve implementation, Medicaid and health system programs that address social needs may benefit from providing funding for administrative costs, developing bidirectional data-sharing platforms, and tailoring support to patient preferences
Communicating to Engage: An Improvisational Theater-Based Communication Training Designed to Support Community–Academic Partnership Development
PROBLEM: The potential for community-engaged research to address health inequity requires deliberate effort to create trusting and equitable community-academic partnerships. A lack of evidence-based opportunities for cultivating such partnerships remains a barrier. APPROACH: In 2017 and 2018, the authors designed, facilitated, and evaluated a mixed stakeholder training, Communicating to Engage, at 2 urban academic medical centers involved in the …
Structural inequities in seasonal influenza vaccination rates
Background Influenza immunization is a highly effective method of reducing illness, hospitalization and mortality from this disease. However, influenza vaccination rates in the U.S. remain below public health targets and persistent structural inequities reduce the likelihood that Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, Latina/o, Asian groups, and populations of low socioeconomic status will receive the influenza vaccine. Methods We analyzed cor…
Care and Precision Medicine Research in the Time of Covid-19
Calls made to AoUNE participants were received positively by diverse groups. These findings may have implications for participant-centered engagement strategies in precision medicine research
Equity and Disasters: Reframing Incident Command Systems
Auschwitz is the epitome of inhumanity. It defines what we understand by barbarism, and stands out among the atrocities of the 20th century - indeed, of the 21st century. This article discusses if lessons from Auschwitz in Scotland is now under threat for financial and political reasons
Pervasive Discrimination and Allostatic Load in African American and White Adults
More pervasive discrimination was related to greater multisystemic physiological dysregulation in a cohort of African American and white adults. Measuring discrimination by combining multiple forms of discriminatory experiences may be important for studying the health effects of discrimination
Income Inequities and Medicaid Expansion are Related to Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Delayed or Forgone Care Due to Cost
BACKGROUND: Monitoring political and social determinants of delayed or forgone care due to cost is necessary to evaluate efforts to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in access to care. Our objective was to examine the extent to which state Medicaid expansion decisions and personal household income may be associated with individual-level racial and ethnic disparities in delayed or forgone care due to cost, at baseline, before the implementation…

Trust Yet Verify: Physicians as Trusted Sources of Health Information on HPV for Black Women in Socioeconomically Marginalized Populations
Our study suggests that physicians are trusted and preferred sources of information on HPV for Black women of low SEP in Boston. Our data underscore an important avenue for intervention: to improve dissemination of HPV-related information through physicians, including outreach in community settings
Cardiovascular inflammation in healthy women: Multilevel associations with state-level prosperity, productivity and income inequality
We found associations between state-level socioeconomic conditions and hsCRP among healthy women. Personal household income was more closely associated with sICAM-1 and fibrinogen than state-level socioeconomic conditions. Additional research should examine these associations in other cohorts, and investigate what more-advantaged states do differently than less-advantaged states that may influence levels of cardiovascular inflammation among healt…
Case Management Intervention in Cervical Cancer Prevention: The Boston Reach Coalition Women’s Health Demonstration Project
Case Management Intervention in Cervical Cancer Prevention: The Boston Reach Coalition Women’s Health Demonstration Project
Exposure to case management was associated with regular Pap smear screening among women who recently engaged in screening. Future research should focus on systems changes to address social determinants of health, including strategies to facilitate screening for Black women without social support for childcare. To improve follow-up of abnormal results, financial access to care should be addressed
Perceived neighborhood safety and incident mobility disability among elders: The hazards of poverty
Perceiving a safety hazard due to neighborhood crime was associated with increased risk of incident mobility disability among impoverished elders near retirement age. Consistent with prior literature, retirement age appears to be a vulnerable period with respect to the effect of neighborhood conditions on elder health. Community violence prevention activities should address perceived safety among vulnerable populations, such as low-income elders …
