Association between high school physical education and physical activity in Missouri students
Background The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that adolescents engage in 60 min of physical activity (PA) daily. However, the average PA levels of adolescents are far below those recommendations. Physical education (PE) develops the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for a healthy lifestyle and is recognized by the Community Preventive Services Task Force as an evidence-based strategy to increase…
Availability, accessibility, and functionality of public restrooms in the City of St. Louis, Missouri
Availability of public restrooms is a key concern in St. Louis - limited both by physical availability and hours of operation. When restrooms are available, however, they tend to be physically accessible and functional, while infrastructure to help maintain menstrual hygiene is more limited. Local government needs to invest in increasing the availability of public restrooms for those in need
Spatial examination of social and environmental drivers of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (Mers-CoV) across Kenya
Climate and agricultural land-use change has increased the likelihood of infectious disease emergence and transmissions, but these drivers are often examined separately as combined effects are ignored. Further, seldom are the influence of climate and agricultural land use on emerging infectious diseases examined in a spatially explicit way at regional scales. Our objective in this study was to spatially examine the climate, agriculture, and socio…
A global examination of ecological niche modeling to predict emerging infectious diseases
A Spatial Examination of Covid‐19 Policies among Missouri School Districts
BACKGROUND: As the COVID-19 pandemic spread, school district administrators in the United States were faced with difficult decisions regarding the implementation of virtual or in-person learning to reduce risk of infection throughout student and staff populations. While a coordinated effort with surrounding districts would be most beneficial when encountering a highly infectious respiratory-based infectious disease, the determinants of type of ed…

Factors Associated with Intention to Receive Vaccination against Covid-19 in Puerto Rico
We conducted an online survey among adults in Puerto Rico to identify factors associated with the intention to receive vaccination against COVID-19. Sociodemographic variables were analyzed independently for association with intent to receive vaccination. Significant associations were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. A total of 1016 responses were available for analysis. In the bivariate analysis, younger age, higher edu…

Testing the Feasibility of Using Ecological Momentary Assessment to Collect Real-Time Behavior and Mood to Predict Technology-Measured HIV Medication Adherence
The Impact of the Ryan White HIV/Aids Medical Case Management Program on HIV Clinical Outcomes
Challenges to HIV management among youth engaged in HIV care
Regardless of medical advancements, new HIV infections persist. Young adults are most often newly infected, thus research is needed to assess medication adherence barriers specific to young adults with HIV. The data were abstracted from medical charts to include both self-reported behavioral and psychological distress data and HIV parameters in 2013 among patients aged 18-30 years. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were conducted to id…

Potential High-Risk Areas for Zika Virus Transmission in the Contiguous United States
Objectives. To understand where transmission of Zika virus has the highest likelihood to occur in the contiguous United States with regard to its transmission both sexually and via Aedes aegypti mosquito bites. Methods. We evaluated the 2 routes of transmission risk with predictors of sexually transmitted infections (percentage women of childbearing age, birthrate, gonorrhea and chlamydia rates, concentrated disadvantage) as a surrogate for unpro…

Depression severity is associated with increased risk behaviors and decreased CD4 cell counts
Depression is a common comorbidity among HIV-infected individuals. We studied the relationship between depressive symptoms, risk behaviors (risky-sexual behavior, tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use) and HIV outcomes. This cross-sectional study conducted in 2009 at the Washington University HIV Clinic included screening for depression with patient health questionnaire, survey of sexual behavior, illicit drug, alcohol, and tobacco use within 30…
Beliefs, Experience, and Interest in Pharmacotherapy among Smokers with HIV
Future interventions should address misconceptions, perceived benefits, and self-efficacy for using cessation aids. Physicians should offer pharmacotherapy to all smokers
Screening Anxiety in the HIV Clinic
Perceived Discrimination, Psychological Distress, and Current Smoking Status
Our results indicate that individuals who report discriminatory treatment in multiple domains may be more likely to smoke, in part, because of the psychological distress associated with such treatment
Perceptions of alcohol risk among individuals living with HIV
The documented prevalence of alcohol use among individuals with HIV is higher than reported among the general public. Little is known about how populations with HIV perceive the risks of alcohol use and what they consider to be safe levels of consumption. This qualitative study was conducted to increase understanding of the situations and environments in which alcohol is consumed and to explore the perceptions of risks among individuals with HIV,…

Comparisons of sexual behaviors and STD prevalence among older and younger individuals with HIV infection
Knowledge of an HIV-infected individual's sexual behaviors and routine sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) testing greatly facilitates HIV prevention efforts, but current data in older individuals are lacking. This study was developed to compare sexual behaviors and STD prevalence between older HIV-infected individuals and their younger counterparts. We conducted a cross-sectional cohort study of HIV-infected individuals > or =18 years who compl…

Validity/Reliability of PHQ-9 and PHQ-2 Depression Scales Among Adults Living with HIV/Aids in Western Kenya
Can you hear me now? Limited use of technology among an urban HIV-infected cohort
Recent studies support technology-based behavioral interventions for individuals with HIV. This study focused on the use of cell phone and internet technologies among a cohort of 515 HIV-infected individuals. Socio-demographic and clinic data were collected among individuals presenting at an urban Midwestern university HIV clinic in 2007. Regular internet usage occurred more often with males, Caucasians, those who were employed, had higher income…

Psychological distress symptoms of individuals seeking HIV-related psychosocial support in western Kenya
While researchers in many western countries have documented the nature of psychological distress that is commonly present among individuals living with HIV, there has been virtually no research on the same topic among other high prevalence areas of the world, particularly in countries like Kenya. This study sought to document the nature of psychological distress among 397 individuals living with HIV in western Kenya and who were participating in …
Psychological distress and engagement in HIV-related services among individuals seeking mental health care
In the US, HIV-related mental health care has been funded for its ability to help engage and retain individuals living with HIV into other components of HIV-related care and treatment. However, little is known empirically about the types of HIV prevention and care with which they are, or need to be, connected. To explore this, data were collected from 617 individuals upon their self-enrollment in HIV-related mental health care in a large US city …
