Sociodemographic Characteristics Associated with Lifetime and Recent Traumatic Experiences Among People Living with HIV in Florida
Trauma prevalence among people with HIV (PWH) exceeds that of the general population by 2 times in the United States. Conducted within the Florida Cohort (2019-2022; n = 509), this study aimed to (1) describe the prevalence of 12 types of traumatic experiences (TEs) over a lifetime and within the past 12 months, and (2) describe whether the prevalence of lifetime and past 12-month traumatic experiences varied by age, race/ethnicity, sex assigned …
Lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and identify social factors and preventive strategies associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in socio and economically vulnerable people (recyclable waste pikers, immigrants/refugees, and homeless people) in Goiânia, Goiás State, Central-Western Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2020 to October 2020. COVID-19 positivity was defined as a positive total anti-SARS-COV…
Screening the “Invisible Population” of Older Adult Patients for Prescription Pain Reliever Non-Medical Use and Use Disorders
Background: In the United States, the number of older adults reporting non-medical use of prescription pain relievers (NMUPPR) between 2015 and 2019 has remained constant, while those meeting criteria for opioid use disorders (OUDs) between 2013 and 2018 increased three-fold. These rates are expected to increase due to increased life expectancy among this population coupled with higher rates of substance use. However, they have consistently lower…
Clinical Decision Making by Medical Marijuana Physicians in Florida
Medical marijuana (MMJ) was legalized in November 2016 with the passing of Amendment 2 in the state of Florida. Since the legalization, many studies have been conducted to understand the direct effect medical marijuana has on specific medical conditions. Unlike most allopathic drugs, medical marijuana does not target single ailments or specific conditions and does not follow precise recommending guidelines. There is scarce knowledge on how patien…
Mutual Help Group Participation for Alcohol and Drug Problems
Objective: This report aims to identify US mutual help group (MHG) participants’ psycho-socio-behavioral profiles. Method: We used data from the 2015–2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and the sample included 1022 adults with past-year substance use disorders (SUD). We conducted a latent class analysis to identify subgroups of MHG participants and estimated multinomial logistic regression models to examine the associations between sociod…
HIV testing practices among Latina women at risk of getting infected
Latinos are more likely to delay HIV testing, present to care with an AIDS defining illness, and die within one year of learning their HIV-positive status than non-Latino blacks and whites. For this paper, we explore the role of partner-relationship characteristics and health behaviors, in predicting HIV testing among Latina adult women who engaged in risky sexual behaviors (i.e., unprotected vaginal and/or anal sex). Data from a convenience samp…
Membresía a barras bravas y su influencia en el uso de drogas
Barras bravas membership increases the risk of drug use onset, particularly among females. The findings imply that preventive efforts should be focused on females in these contexts
Hand Washing Among School Children in Bogotá, Colombia
Objectives. We assessed hand-washing behaviors and intentions among school children in Bogotá, Colombia, to help identify and overcome barriers to proper hygiene practices. Methods. Data on hand-washing behavior and intentions and individual and contextual factors were collected from 2042 sixth- through eighth-grade students in 25 schools in Bogotá via anonymous questionnaires. A member of the school administration or teaching staff completed a q…
Lopez-Quintero Et Al. Respond
A reduction in smoking rates in the United States represents one of the main public health achievements of the past 3 decades. Multiple strategies for smoking cessation at the macro level (e.g., restricted access to tobacco and restricted exposure to tobacco-promoting messages) and to a somewhat lesser extent at the individual level (e.g., behavioral and pharmacological cessation strategies) have contributed to this success.1,2 These intervention…
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Report of Physician-Provided Smoking Cessation Advice
Objectives. We explored racial/ethnic disparities in reports of smoking cessation advice among smokers who had visited a physician in the previous year. Also, we examined the likelihood of receipt of such advice across Hispanic subgroups and levels of English proficiency. Methods. We analyzed data from the 2000 National Health Interview Survey. Results. Nearly half of the 5652 respondents reported receiving smoking cessation advice from their doc…
