Scale matters
Real-world management of opioid use disorder in primary care 2015–2019
Expanding the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) remains a national priority and given constraints on treatment access, primary care may be an essential treatment context. While intervention studies within primary care have demonstrated efficacy, barriers to successful implementation and scale-up persist. The purpose of this work is to describe real-world management of OUD in primary care and assess how attributes of clinical practices are as…
Excess Fatal Overdoses in the United States During the Covid-19 Pandemic by Geography and Substance Type
Objectives. To assess heterogeneity in pandemic-period excess fatal overdoses in the United States, by location (state, county) and substance type. Methods. We used seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models to estimate counterfactual death counts in the scenario that no pandemic had occurred. Such estimates were subtracted from actual death counts to assess the magnitude of pandemic-period excess mortality between March 20…
Solidarity and strife after the Atlanta spa shootings
Background On March 16, 2021, a white man shot and killed eight victims, six of whom were Asian women at Atlanta-area spa and massage parlors. The aims of the study were to: (1) qualitatively summarize themes of tweets related to race, ethnicity, and racism immediately following the Atlanta spa shootings, and (2) examine temporal trends in expressions hate speech and solidarity before and after the Atlanta spa shootings using a new methodology fo…
All-cause excess mortality across 90 municipalities in Gujarat, India, during the Covid-19 pandemic (March 2020-April 2021)
Official COVID-19 mortality statistics are strongly influenced by local diagnostic capacity, strength of the healthcare and vital registration systems, and death certification criteria and capacity, often resulting in significant undercounting of COVID-19 attributable deaths. Excess mortality, which is defined as the increase in observed death counts compared to a baseline expectation, provides an alternate measure of the mortality shock—both dir…
Public health impacts of an imminent Red Sea oil spill
The possibility of a massive oil spill in the Red Sea is increasingly likely. The Safer , a deteriorating oil tanker containing 1.1 million barrels of oil, has been deserted near the coast of Yemen since 2015 and threatens environmental catastrophe to a country presently in a humanitarian crisis. Here, we model the immediate public health impacts of a simulated spill. We estimate that all of Yemen's imported fuel through its key Red Sea ports wou…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Opioid-Related Mortality in the USA, 1999–2019
Stigma as a fundamental hindrance to the United States opioid overdose crisis response
Alexander Tsai and co-authors discuss the role of stigma in responses to the US opioid crisis.
Mortality in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria
BACKGROUND: Quantifying the effect of natural disasters on society is critical for recovery of public health services and infrastructure. The death toll can be difficult to assess in the aftermath of a major disaster. In September 2017, Hurricane Maria caused massive infrastructural damage to Puerto Rico, but its effect on mortality remains contentious. The official death count is 64. METHODS: Using a representative, stratified sample, we surveye…
Reproductive justice & preventable deaths
Insofar as reducing infant mortality is a government priority, our data underscore the need, despite heightened contention, for adequate public funding for abortion services and for redressing health inequities
Police Killings and Police Deaths Are Public Health Data and Can Be Counted
Nancy Krieger and colleagues argue that law-enforcement-related deaths in the United States should be treated as notifiable conditions, which would allow public health departments to report these data in real-time.
Age at Menarche
Objectives. We investigated 50-year US trends in age at menarche by socioeconomic position (SEP) and race/ethnicity because data are scant and contradictory. Methods. We analyzed data by income and education for US-born non-Hispanic Black and White women aged 25 to 74 years in the National Health Examination Survey (NHES) I (1959–1962), National Health Examination and Nutrition Surveys (NHANES) I–III (1971–1994), and NHANES 1999–2008. Results. In…
Reproductive Justice and the Pace of Change
US infant death rates for 1960 to 1980 declined most quickly in (1) 1970 to 1973 in states that legalized abortion in 1970, especially for infants in the lowest 3 income quintiles (annual percentage change = −11.6; 95% confidence interval = −18.7, −3.8), and (2) the mid-to-late 1960s, also in low-income quintiles, for both Black and White infants, albeit unrelated to abortion laws. These results imply that research is warranted on whether current…
Religiosity and Exposure to Users in Explaining Illicit Drug Use among Emerging Adults
Perceived public stigma and stigmatization in explaining lifetime illicit drug use among emerging adults
Illicit drug use is often associated with adverse health and legal consequences, as well as stigma, or social disapproval. Stigma may be enacted as a preventive measure against drug use; however, research was needed to investigate its effects on use in an empirical manner. This cross-sectional study surveyed 1021 emerging adults (age 18–25) throughout Manhattan, New York. We investigated how two forms of stigma – perceived public stigma and perso…
Predictors of Stigmatization Towards Use of Various Illicit Drugs Among Emerging Adults
The stigma associated with illegal drug use is nearly universal, but each drug is associated with its own specific level of stigma. This study examined level of stigmatization towards users of various illegal drugs and determined what variables explain such attitudes. A sample of emerging adults (age 18 to 25) was surveyed throughout New York City (N = 1021) and lifetime use, level of exposure to users, and level of stigmatization was assessed re…
A qualitative descriptive study of perceived sexual effects of club drug use in gay and bisexual men
Club drug use is often associated with unsafe sexual practices and use remains prevalent among gay and bisexual men. Although epidemiological studies commonly report the risk of engaging in unsafe sex due to the effects of particular club drugs, there remain gaps in the literature regarding the specific sexual effects of such substances and the context for their use in this population. We examined secondary data derived from interviews with 198 c…
