Heaven–human correspondence across cultures
This study explores the philosophical and structural convergence between the Five Movements and Six Qi (Yunqi) theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western astrology, focusing on the shared doctrine of Heaven–Human correspondence. Although developed within distinct cultural and epistemological contexts, both systems posit that cosmic cycles influence human health and behavior. By comparing symbolic frameworks such as the Five Phases a…
Development of an electronic health record-based Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) risk prediction model for women, incorporating social determinants of health
The final model, incorporating demographics, clinical features, and SDoH, can predict HIV risk in the next year for women. Several SDoH factors were found to be important predictors. Future work could involve stakeholders in implementing the model into HIV PrEP decision support and exploring causal pathways to guide risk-reduction interventions
Examining the Psychometric Properties of a Revised 40-Item Berger HIV Stigma Scale
Over the past decades, as social contexts and knowledge about HIV have evolved, the conceptualization and understanding of HIV stigma, as well as the measures used to assess it, may have also shifted. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a revised version of the Berger scale which updated language to better capture HIV stigma in the Southern U.S. The revisions were informed by focus group discussions with people with HIV (PW…
Empathy Design Thinking
This research explores the application of an Empathy Design Thinking (EDT) curriculum within primary education, guided by the principles of Experience, Empathy, Exploration, and Evaluation, to examine its effect on fostering student creativity in a Chinese context. The curriculum was redesigned into a streamlined, modular format for ease of integration into existing educational frameworks. Findings demonstrate a positive impact on students' creat…
Time patterns in online survey completion and offline psychological symptoms among college students in China
Background: Online psychological surveys allow for swift data collection among college students, thus providing a foundation for psychological interventions, particularly during emergent public health events. However, the association between online survey completion behaviors and offline psychological symptoms has yet to be explored. Methods: A large-scale web-based survey was conducted from December 31, 2022, to January 7, 2023, involving 22,624…
Inferiority feelings mediate the impact of subjective social support on anxiety/depression symptoms in individuals with physical disabilities
Background: Persons with physical disabilities are more likely to suffer from psychological symptoms and inferiority feelings, and social support plays an important role in improving those symptoms. However, the interaction between psychological symptoms, inferiority feelings and social support is yet to be understood. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate anxiety, depression, and inferiority feelings among individuals wit…
Who wants long-Acting injectable antiretroviral therapy? Treatment preferences among adults with HIV in Florida
Long-acting injectable (LAI) antiretroviral therapy (ART) is available to people with HIV (PWH), but it is unknown which PWH prefer this option. Using the Andersen Behavioral Model this study identifies characteristics of PWH with greater preference for LAI ART. Cross-sectional data from the Florida Cohort, which enrolled adult PWH from community-based clinics included information on predisposing (demographics), enabling (transportation, income),…
Spatial and temporal analysis of HIV clinical outcomes in Florida reveals counties with persistent racial and ethnic disparities during 2012-2019
There is persistent, spatially heterogeneous, racial/ethnic disparity in HIV clinical outcomes in Florida. This disparity could not be explained by socio-ecological factors, suggesting that further research on modifiable factors that can improve HIV outcomes among Black and Hispanic PWH in Florida is needed
Comorbidity Burden and Health Care Utilization by Substance use Disorder Patterns among People with HIV in Florida
Research on Ethical Risk Governance of the Metaverse
The metaverse is a cutting-edge technology ecosystem that has emerged to further promote the digital transformation of social life. Its core feature is immersive three-dimensional experiences, attempting to create an independent parallel space separate from the physical world. It represents an innovative and disruptive moment in the evolution from two-dimensional spaces. While the virtual platform of the metaverse creates favorable conditions, it…
Spatialization method of monitoring grazing intensity
The problem of grassland degradation induced by livestock production at the expense of local grasses has become a serious ecological problem worldwide. To maintain livestock production and sustainable grassland development, the extent and intensity of grassland utilization needs to be better understood. In this study, a model was developed to monitor the intensity of grazing in a typical grazing area (Tibet Selinco basin) of the Qinghai‐Tibet Pla…
Automated classification of lay health articles using natural language processing
Utilizing NLP, we can guide patients to high-quality lay reading materials as cost-effective, readily available health education and communication sources. This approach allows us to scale the information delivery specifically to individuals, enhancing the relevance and impact of the materials provided
Psychosocial Syndemic Classes and Longitudinal Transition Patterns Among Sexual Minority men Living with or Without HIV in the Multicenter Aids Cohort Study (Macs)
Longitudinal trajectories of HIV care engagement since diagnosis among persons with HIV in the Florida Ryan White program
Exposure to Medicines in the Family Medicine Cabinet
Background: Despite research on prescription opioids and dependence being a national priority, little is known about the association between several potential adolescent risk factors and later opioid dependence among those who use opioids non-medically. Objectives: To investigate the association between lifetime opioid dependence and adolescent self-perceived health, health beliefs (thinking there was a pill for everything), health behaviors (ons…
Sex Differences in Willingness to Participate in Research Based on Study Risk Level Among a Community Sample of African Americans in North Central Florida
Age-standardized mortality, disability-adjusted life-years and healthy life expectancy in different cultural regions of Guangdong, China
Our findings call for improved public health care via the refinement of policy and effective measures for disease prevention. Understanding the environmental and culture-related risk factors of diseases in Hoklo and Hakka regions may help inform public health sectors to reduce the disease burden and the between-region inequality
Prescription Stimulant Use and Associated Risk Factors for Non-oral Use among 10 to 18 Year Olds
Non-medical use, especially non-oral use, of prescription stimulants is a public health concern. This study analyzed data from the National Monitoring of Adolescent Prescription Stimulants Study (N-MAPSS). Users (n = 723) were categorized as oral medical only users (n = 330, 45.6%), any oral non-medical users (n = 270, 37.3%), and any non-oral users (n = 123, 17.0%). The associations between patterns of stimulant use and risk factors were examine…
Correlates related to follow‐up in a community engagement program in North Central Florida
AIMS: This analysis identifies the correlates of 60- and 120-day telephone-based study follow-ups among community-dwelling adults in North Central Florida. METHODS: Six thousand three hundred and forty participants were recruited by Community Health Workers from the University of Florida's community engagement program with a face-to-face baseline and two phone follow-ups assessing indicators of health. RESULTS: Physical disability versus none (ad…
