A cross-sectional analysis of county-level determinants of pandemic-era policy implementation
Introduction: Local COVID-19 policies are increasingly recognized as determinants of variation in disease transmission and other health outcomes. There is significant geographic variability in policy implementation, but little understanding of factors contributing to policy variation. Data and methods: = 309 counties in 50 states across 2020-2021). Using multivariable regression, we examined the association of county characteristics with policy c…
Covid-19 testing experiences and attitudes among young adults and socially isolated older adults living in public housing, New York City (2022)
Background: As part of an initiative to increase COVID-19 testing uptake among underserved populations, we conducted focus groups to explore experiences and attitudes related to testing in two understudied groups-young adults and socially-isolated older adults-recruited from residents living in New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) public housing developments. Materials and methods: = 32 total). To identify themes, we conducted a rapid qualitat…
Rapid Community Engagement in Response to Sars-CoV-2 Funding Opportunities
In response to fast-turnaround funding opportunities, collaborations have been forming across the country to address severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disparities. Here we describe the process, notes from the field, and evaluation results from a new collaboration involving multiple partners, formed in October 2020 in New York City as part of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics initiative. We used the validated Researc…
Sleep Disorders and Symptoms in Blacks with Metabolic Syndrome
Blacks with MetS reported insomnia symptoms and insomnia disorder, use of sleep aids, feeling sleepy during the day, and inadequate sleep durations. The presence of these sleep characteristics suggests that patients with MetS should be referred for further sleep assessment
Sleep disparity, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic position
Differential increase in prevalence estimates of inadequate sleep among black and white Americans
Blacks and whites are characteristically different regarding the prevalence of inadequate sleep over the years. Temporal changes in estimates of inadequate sleep seem dependent upon individuals' race/ethnicity
Associations between inadequate sleep and obesity in the US adult population
Our findings support the hypothesis that prevalence of very short and short sleep has gradually increased over the last 32 years. Inadequate sleep was associated with overweight and obesity for each available year
