Developing and validating machine learning models to predict vaccine hesitancy and literacy among adults in the United States
Background: Vaccine hesitancy and literacy are multifaceted and context-specific phenomena that affect vaccination uptake. Comprehensively examining the simultaneous effects of various factors influencing vaccine hesitancy and literacy remains a challenge. This study aimed to better understand key determinants of adults' vaccination decision-making, regarding both their own vaccinations and those of their children, using different machine learnin…
Factors associated with parental literacy and hesitancy toward pediatric vaccination
Greater vaccine literacy levels and less vaccine hesitancy correlated with positive parental beliefs about vaccines and positive interactions with HCPs. Challenges in comprehending HCP-delivered information were correlated with lower literacy and greater hesitancy
Understanding Preferences for Visualized New and Future HIV Prevention Products Among Gay, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Southern United States
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are vulnerable to HIV infection. Although daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV among MSM, its usage remains low. We conducted virtual in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus groups (FGs) with Black, Hispanic/Latino, and White MSM consisting of current PrEP users and those aware of but not currently using PrEP. We delved into their preferences regarding six emerging PrEP products: a weekly oral pill,…

Low Self-Perceived Need for PrEP and Behavioral Indications of MSM Who Recently Refused Daily PrEP
“Take care of their hierarchy of needs first”
Data-to-Care (D2C) is a public health strategy designed to engage out-of-care (OOC) persons with HIV (PWH) in HIV care. OOC PWH are identified through review of state and local HIV data and engaged in care through individualized efforts that address barriers to HIV care. Perspectives of D2C program staff can contribute to D2C program development and sustainability. We conducted semi-structured interviews in 2017 with 20 D2C program staff from Lou…

Identifying Missed Opportunities for Routine Vaccination among People Who Use Drugs
In the US, adult immunization coverage remains low, especially among vulnerable populations, as recent hepatitis A outbreaks have demonstrated. We studied the vaccination history variation among the US adults who use drugs by implementing a community-engaged research survey to identify reported immunization coverage, missed opportunities (MO), and places where immunizations might be delivered. Our analysis of a sample of 1127 participants recruit…
To Me, Everybody Is infected
For black MSM living in the Deep South, the intersection of sexuality, race, and geography impacts HIV risk substantially. Between July and September 2016, we conducted a qualitative study among HIV-negative black MSM in five southern cities in the US with elevated HIV prevalence. Analysis included assessment of interrater reliability, cluster analysis, and descriptive statistics. We enrolled 99 black MSM (mean age: 33.6; SD = 12.8; range: 17-68 …
Patient Decision Making Related to Maternal and Childhood Vaccines
Immunization is one of the most effective ways to prevent infectious diseases. However, vaccination rates are suboptimal in the United States. Obstetric providers are critical in influencing vaccine decision making among pregnant women, as trust between a patient and provider may facilitate willingness to accept vaccination. Little is known about how power between a patient and provider affects vaccine acceptance. This study explored pregnant wom…
Latent Class Analysis of Maternal Vaccine Attitudes and Beliefs
Background. Maternal vaccine coverage is suboptimal, and a substantial proportion of parents have concerns about vaccines. Most parents seek out vaccine information during and immediately after their first pregnancy. No study to our knowledge has analyzed survey data to identify homogeneous groups of pregnant women based on their vaccine attitudes and beliefs. Aims. To identify homogeneity among groups of pregnant women based on their vaccine att…

Factors Associated with Immunization Opinion Leadership among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Los Angeles, California
We sought to identify the characteristics of men who have sex with men (MSM) who are opinion leaders on immunization issues and to identify potential opportunities to leverage their influence for vaccine promotion within MSM communities. Using venue-based sampling, we recruited and enrolled MSM living in Los Angeles ( N = 520) from December 2016 to February 2017 and evaluated characteristic differences in sociodemographic characteristics, health …

HIV-infected men who have sex with men, before and after release from jail
The US HIV/AIDS epidemic is concentrated among men who have sex with men (MSM). Black men are disproportionately affected by incarceration and Black MSM experience higher infection rates and worse HIV-related health outcomes compared to non-Black MSM. We compared HIV treatment outcomes for Black MSM to other HIV-infected men from one of the largest cohorts of HIV-infected jail detainees (N = 1270) transitioning to the community. Of the 574 HIV-in…

Results of a Community Randomized Study of a Faith-Based Education Program to Improve Clinical Trial Participation among African Americans
This is a report of a cluster randomized clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of a church-based educational intervention aimed at improving African Americans' (AA) participation in clinical trials. Two hundred and twenty-one AA subjects ages ≥50 years from six predominantly AA churches were randomized to intervention or control condition. The intervention included three educational sessions about clinical trials and health disparities; con…
Violence Against Women in Selected Areas of the United States
Objectives. We determined the prevalence of recent emotional, physical, and sexual violence against women and their associations with HIV-related risk factors in women living in the United States. Methods. We performed an assessment of women ages 18 to 44 years with a history of unprotected sex and 1 or more personal or partner HIV risk factors in the past 6 months from 2009 to 2010. We used multivariable logistic regression to examine the associ…
Understanding the relationship between social support and physical and mental well-being among jail detainees living with HIV
Inmates face a disproportionate burden of HIV. This study sought to explore the relationship between social support and physical and mental well-being and the possibility that housing stability moderates this relationship among jail detainees living with HIV. Data for this cross-sectional analysis come from 438 clients who underwent a structured interview. Results indicate a significant positive relationship between social support and both types …
Understanding Racial HIV/STI Disparities in Black and White Men Who Have Sex with Men
BACKGROUND: The reasons for black/white disparities in HIV epidemics among men who have sex with men have puzzled researchers for decades. Understanding reasons for these disparities requires looking beyond individual-level behavioral risk to a more comprehensive framework. METHODS AND FINDINGS: From July 2010-December 2012, 803 men (454 black, 349 white) were recruited through venue-based and online sampling; consenting men were provided HIV and…

Focusing on HIV/Aids in Africa
Few public health issues in modern times can match the scope and impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic especially in sub-Saharan Africa which accounts for about two thirds of the estimated number of global HIV/AIDS cases.1 Despite the widespread devastation caused by this disease and the compelling nature of the statistics much of the developed world has not been exposed to the human side of this pandemic—the people who are most affected by and living …
