Access to Mental Health Treatment Services in Asian Languages
This cross-sectional study found a persistent geographic mismatch between the mental health needs of Asian language-speaking individuals with LEP and the availability of appropriate linguistic services. The gap was pronounced in rural areas. The findings suggest that policies aimed at expanding the behavioral health workforce and increasing access to culturally and linguistically competent services to reduce ongoing disparities in mental health o…

Examining the association between county racialised economic segregation and fatal overdose in US counties, 2018–2022
Background Between 2022 and 2023, overdose mortality decreased among non-Hispanic (NH) white people but stayed the same or increased among people of colour in the USA. County racialised economic segregation may contribute to overdose mortality. Methods We used a Bayesian spatiotemporal approach to assess the association between racialised economic segregation quintile and overdose deaths (overall and race-stratified) in 3133 US counties from 2018…
The Experiences and Attitudes of Rural Black People who Use Drugs
Rural Black PWUD may experience complex early-life exposures to substance use and later-life challenges in terms of communal integration due to stigma and structural disenfranchisment. These dynamics may specifically prevent the manifestation of strong support networks and engagement with treatment and harm reduction
Telehealth Disparities in Outpatient Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment among Medicaid Beneficiaries during Covid-19
BACKGROUND: We investigated racial and ethnic disparities in telehealth counseling among Medicaid-insured patients in outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) treatment clinics and assessed whether the clinic-level proportion of Medicaid-insured patients moderated these disparities. METHODS: Using New York State (NYS) Medicaid and statewide treatment registry data, we analyzed 24,814 admission episodes across 399 outpatient SUD clinics during the …
Impact of policies on pregnant individuals using drugs
Amid the opioid epidemic and racial disparities in maternal and child health, there is increasing interest from clinicians, patients, and policymakers in understanding how state policies impact pregnant individuals using drugs, particularly regarding healthcare access and outcomes. This narrative synthesis examines the types of policies affecting this population and their consequences on maternal and child health. Following PRISMA guidelines, we …

Reimagining the Role of Communication in Medical Consensus to Address Medical Mistrust and Disinformation
Medical consensus is a critical element in deriving and substantiating evidence-based approaches to guide patient communication and care delivery. However, in recent years, mistrust in medicine—and in science more broadly—has deepened, driven in part by the recent politicization of public health guidance and the spread of disinformation, as well as by historically siloed and opaque public engagement practices. There has been limited critical anal…

The Covid-19 experience among international migrant workers in the Republic of Korea
Undocumented migrant workers were often less informed about COVID-19 policies. While most of the survey respondents were knowledgeable about governmental policies regarding COVID-19 treatment and immigration, our results reveal multiple occupational and health insurance vulnerabilities of undocumented migrant workers living in ROK. More attention is needed to understand healthcare service barriers and how to provide adequate resources for this vu…

Organizational access points and substance use disorder treatment utilization among Black women
Impact of supportive housing health homes program on medicaid utilization for persons diagnosed with HIV (PDWH)
Unstable housing among persons diagnosed with HIV (PDWH) has been consistently linked to poor HIV-related care engagement. We examined the relationship between enrollment in a supportive housing program and health care utilization (use of outpatient services, emergency department (ED) visits, and hospitalizations) for a group of unstably housed, Medicaid and Health Homes (HH)-enrolled PDWH in New York State. We analyzed monthly longitudinal data …

Hepatitis C Virus Screening among Medicaid-Insured Individuals with Opioid Use Disorder across Substance Use Disorder Treatment Settings
Objective: Although the rapid increase in opioid use disorders (OUD) and concurrent increase in Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the United States is well-documented, little is known about HCV testing among high-risk populations. We examine patterns of HCV testing across OUD treatment settings for individuals with OUD in New York. Methods: Using 2014 New York Medicaid claims data, we identified OUD diagnosis, OUD treatment (methadone, buprenorphine, na…
Motherhood, pregnancy and gateways to intervene in substance use disorder
Motherhood increases women's use of health and social services, presenting opportunities to identify and refer women with substance use disorder (SUD) to treatment. We pooled 4 years (2015-2018) of cross-sectional data from National Survey on Drug Use and Health on women of child-bearing age (18-44) in the United States (n = 64,346). (1) We compared the use of services (health, social and criminal justice involvement) by SUD and 'motherhood' (pre…
Substance Use Disorders and Diabetes Care
BACKGROUND: Individuals that have both diabetes and substance use disorder (SUD) are more likely to have adverse health outcomes and are less likely to receive high quality diabetes care, compared with patients without coexisting SUD. Care management programs for patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and SUD, have been associated with improvements in the process and outcomes of care. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to assess the impact of havin…
Trends and determinants of infant and under-five childhood mortality in Vietnam, 1986–2011
BACKGROUND: Although Vietnam has taken great efforts to reduce child mortality in recent years, a large number of children still die at early age. Only a few studies have been conducted to identify at-risk groups in order to provide baseline information for effective interventions. OBJECTIVE: The study estimated the overall trends in infant mortality rate (IMR) and under-five mortality rate (U5MR) during 1986-2011 and identified demographic and s…
Changes and inequalities in early birth registration and childhood care and education in Vietnam
INTRODUCTION: Early birth registration, childhood care, and education are essential rights for children and are important for their development and education. This study investigates changes and socioeconomic inequalities in early birth registration and indicators of care and education in children aged under 5 years in Vietnam. DESIGN: The analyses reported here used data from the Vietnam Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) in 2006 and 2011…
Determinants of early childhood morbidity and proper treatment responses in Vietnam
BACKGROUND: Despite significant achievements in health indicators during previous decades, Vietnam lags behind other developing countries in reducing common early childhood illnesses, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. To date, there has been little research into factors that contribute to the prevalence and treatment of childhood morbidity in Vietnam. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the determinants of diarrhea and 'illness with a cough…
Early sexual initiation and multiple sexual partners among Vietnamese women
INTRODUCTION: Under current HIV transmission mechanisms operating in Vietnam, women are seen as victims of their male partners. Having multiple sexual partners is one of the well-known risk factors for HIV infection. However, little is known about women's risky sexual behaviour and their vulnerability to HIV in Vietnam. This study aims to explore association between early sexual initiation and the number of lifetime sexual partners in Vietnamese …
Changes and socioeconomic factors associated with attitudes towards domestic violence among Vietnamese women aged 15–49
BACKGROUND: Understanding factors associated with domestic violence-supportive attitudes among Vietnamese women is important for designing effective policies to prevent this behavior. Previous studies have largely overlooked risk factors associated with domestic violence-supportive attitudes by women in Vietnam. OBJECTIVE: This paper explores and identifies socioeconomic factors that contribute to domestic violence-supportive attitudes among Viet…
