- CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this randomized clinical trial, a breast cancer screening cessation message significantly increased older women's support for and intentions of screening cessation. The strongest effects were observed when the message was delivered over time from multiple sources. Future work needs to engage potential message sources to examine the feasibility and acceptability of […]
- BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Loneliness is a major public health concern; however, limited research has examined the mechanisms contributing to racial/ethnic inequities in loneliness. Race/ethnicity has been hypothesized to be a distal factor influencing loneliness, and racial/ethnic inequities in loneliness may be attributable to socioeconomic factors (e.g., income and education). Our study seeks to confirm these […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that the type of persuasive technique and the decisional context are important considerations in the ethical debate around the use of persuasion. Limiting the use of persuasion to high-stakes decisions and using facts and patient stories rather than emotional appeals are likely more acceptable.
- CONCLUSIONS: Restricted buprenorphine dispensing was most pronounced in socially and economically disadvantaged communities, potentially exacerbating gaps in OUD treatment access. Policy interventions should target both prescribing and dispensing capacity to advance pharmacoequity.
- CONCLUSIONS: Participants in subsidized housing shared their experiences before and during this unique crisis highlighting the challenges they face, as well as their resilience and adaptability when facing challenges. Our findings underscore the significance of community activation, demonstrating that activities motivated older adults to improve their well-being. Additionally, the role of technology in maintaining connections […]
- INTRODUCTION: Physical frailty is reversible, but little is known about the sustainability of frailty remission and its impact on dementia.
- CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Medical debt is prevalent among adults with depression and anxiety and may contribute to the mental health treatment gap. In the absence of structural reform, new policies are warranted to protect against this financial barrier to mental health care.
- Objective: To compare telemedicine versus office visit use at two Medicaid-focused pediatric primary care clinics. Methods: Retrospective cohort study from March 15, 2020 – March 15, 2021 at two Medicaid-focused pediatric primary care clinics. Site A and Site B care for different populations (Site B care for mostly immigrant families with preferred language Spanish). Outcomes […]

- CONCLUSIONS: In extremely preterm newborns, systemic elevations of inflammation-related proteins during the neonatal period were not associated with childhood asthma and obesity outcomes at 10 or 15 years of age.
- CONCLUSIONS: A cultural adaptation of a primary care-based educational obesity prevention program for immigrant Chinese American families with low income is associated with certain healthy infant feeding practices. Future studies should evaluate cultural adaptations of more intensive interventions that better address complex feeding practices, such as breastfeeding, and evaluate long-term weight outcomes.
- CONCLUSIONS: Older adults living in subsidized housing have higher hazards of hospitalization and nursing facility utilization compared to those in the general community. Housing-based interventions to optimize aging in place and mitigate risk of nursing facility utilization should consider risk factors including functional impairment and dementia.
- CONCLUSIONS: PBPK modeling simulations revealed that the current US FDA-labeled pediatric dosing regimen listed in the prescribing information can produce the required exposure of levetiracetam in these target populations with dose adjustments for children with obesity aged 4 years to younger than 16 years.
