Allocative efficiency analysis of strategies to reduce overdose deaths among people with opioid use disorder and history of incarceration in Connecticut
Maximally scaling community MOUD and naloxone can reduce ODDs among people who are incarcerated by 39%. Considering societal costs, maximally scaling all three decreases ODDs while saving money
Expanding PrEP Access by Embedding Unannounced SNAPS Navigators in High STI Testing Clinical Sites
A secondary gendered analysis of interviews with Latina cisgender women indicated for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis
HIV infections disproportionately impact Latinx populations in the United States, yet oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake is low. This study was a secondary gendered analysis of interviews with Latina cisgender women (n = 20) recruited from an urban safety net hospital inNew York City between August 2019 and October 2022. All women were indicated for PrEP by the provider. In-depth interviews were conducted with participants in English and…
Empirical Development of a Behavioral Intervention for African American/Black and Latino Persons with Unsuppressed HIV Viral Load Levels
How severe would prioritization-induced bottlenecks need to be offset the benefits from prioritizing Covid-19 vaccination to those most at risk in New York City
Faster vaccination speed with sooner vaccination expansion would save more lives. Prioritization of COVID-19 vaccines to higher-risk populations would be more beneficial only if it does not create an excessive vaccine delivery bottleneck
Association of Syndemic Unhealthy Alcohol Use, Smoking, and Depressive Symptoms on Incident Cardiovascular Disease among Veterans With and Without HIV-Infection
Past year and prior incarceration and HIV transmission risk among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in the US
Three quarters of new HIV infections in the US are among men who have sex with men (MSM). In other populations, incarceration is a social determinant of elevations in viral load and HIV-related substance use and sex risk behavior. There has been limited research on incarceration and these HIV transmission risk determinants in HIV-positive MSM. We used the Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) 2011-2012 follow-up survey to measure associations betwee…
Partnerships to Improve Shared Decision Making for Patients with Hypertension
Shared decision making (SDM) has increasingly become appreciated as a method to enhance patient involvement in health care decisions, patient-provider communication, and patient-centered care. Compared with cancer, the literature on SDM for hypertension is more limited. This is notable because hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and both conditions disproportionately affect certain subgroups of patients. However, …

Using the multiphase optimization strategy (Most) to optimize an HIV care continuum intervention for vulnerable populations
ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02801747 , Registered June 8, 2016
Potential return on investment of a family-centered early childhood intervention
Effective family-centered interventions early in life such as ParentCorps that impact academic, behavioral and health outcomes among children attending high-poverty, urban schools have the potential to result in longer-term health benefits and substantial cost savings
Community-Based, Preclinical Patient Navigation for Colorectal Cancer Screening Among Older Black Men Recruited From Barbershops
Objectives. To test the effectiveness of a preclinical, telephone-based patient navigation intervention to encourage colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among older Black men. Methods. We conducted a 3-parallel-arm, randomized trial among 731 self-identified Black men recruited at barbershops between 2010 and 2013 in New York City. Participants had to be aged 50 years or older, not be up-to-date on CRC screening, have uncontrolled high blood pressu…
What are the Patterns Between Depression, Smoking, Unhealthy Alcohol Use, and Other Substance Use Among Individuals Receiving Medical Care? A Longitudinal Study of 5479 Participants
Do Alcohol Misuse, Smoking, and Depression Vary Concordantly or Sequentially? A Longitudinal Study of HIV-Infected and Matched Uninfected Veterans in Care
Number of Drinks to “Feel a Buzz” by HIV Status and Viral Load in Men
HIV and Alcohol Research Priorities of City, State, and Federal Policymakers
We identified the research areas related to HIV and alcohol consumption that were of highest priority to city, state, and federal policymakers. From June to July 2014, we conducted a 3-round Delphi study to elicit from experts a list of alcohol- and HIV-related clinical trial research questions that were important to fund and rank order the list to identify questions of highest priority. Translating evidence into practice must be improved because…
Determining Chronic Disease Prevalence in Local Populations Using Emergency Department Surveillance
Objectives. We sought to improve public health surveillance by using a geographic analysis of emergency department (ED) visits to determine local chronic disease prevalence. Methods. Using an all-payer administrative database, we determined the proportion of unique ED patients with diabetes, hypertension, or asthma. We compared these rates to those determined by the New York City Community Health Survey. For diabetes prevalence, we also analyzed …
A Study of Financial Incentives to Reduce Plasma HIV RNA Among Patients in Care
The role of financial incentives in HIV care is not well studied. We conducted a single-site study of monetary incentives for viral load suppression, using each patient as his own control. The incentive size ($100/quarter) was designed to be cost-neutral, offsetting estimated downstream costs averted through reduced HIV transmission. Feasibility outcomes were clinic workflow, patient acceptability, and patient comprehension. Although the study wa…
Using Mechanistic Models to Simulate Comparative Effectiveness Trials of Therapy and to Estimate Long-term Outcomes in HIV Care
BACKGROUND: In HIV care, it is difficult to decide when to initiate therapy, which drugs to use for initial treatment, and which drugs to use if drug resistance develops. With hundreds of possible drug regimens available and variable patterns of drug resistance, randomized controlled trials cannot answer all HIV treatment decisions. Mechanistic models of HIV infection can be used to conduct virtual therapeutic trials with the goal of predicting o…
The Payoff Time
BACKGROUND: Practice guidelines rarely consider comorbid illness, and resulting overuse of health services may increase costs without conferring benefit. OBJECTIVE: To individualize a framework for inferring when patients with comorbid illness are not likely to benefit from colorectal cancer screening guidelines. METHODS: We modified the "payoff time" framework (the minimum time until a guideline's cumulative benefits exceed its cumulative harms)…
Estimating Alcohol Content of Traditional Brew in Western Kenya Using Culturally Relevant Methods
Estimating the impact of alcohol consumption on survival for HIV+ individuals
Alcohol consumption is associated with decreased antiretroviral adherence, and decreased adherence results in poorer outcomes. However the magnitude of alcohol's impact on survival is unknown. Our objective was to use a calibrated and validated simulation of HIV disease to estimate the impact of alcohol on survival. We incorporated clinical data describing the temporal and dose-response relationships between alcohol consumption and adherence in a…
Intoxication Before Intercourse and Risky Sexual Behavior in Male Veterans With and Without Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection
Risky sexual behavior was common among male veterans attending outpatient clinics and is more common among HIV-positive veterans who use alcohol and drugs in sexual situations. Asking HIV-positive men a single question about intoxication before intercourse could help to identify men at increased risk of engaging in risky sexual behavior, and specific advice to avoid intoxication in sexual situations could help to reduce risky sexual behavior
A Temporal and Dose‐Response Association Between Alcohol Consumption and Medication Adherence Among Veterans in Care
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that alcohol consumption is associated with decreased medication adherence, but this association may be confounded by characteristics common among those who drink heavily and those who fail to adhere (e.g., illicit drug use). Our objective was to determine whether there are temporal and dose-response relationships between alcohol consumption and poor adherence. METHODS: We administered telephone interview s…
