Objective: This study examines the growth of neighborhood disorder and subsequent marijuana use among urban adolescents transitioning into young adulthood. Method: Data are derived from a longitudinal sample 434 predominately African American 12th graders followed-up at 2 years after high school. The data rich in repeated measures documenting substance misuse characteristics. Growth mixture modeling was used to examine how trajectories, measured through presence abandoned buildings on blocks...
Abstract Aims To estimate racial differences in rates of opioid‐involved overdose deaths (OOD) between whites and African Americans the United States from 1999 to 2018 (1) identify variation temporal trends OOD during 20‐year period (2) compare using Centers for Disease Control Prevention's (CDC) three defined epidemic periods. Methods Data were obtained CDC wide‐ranging on‐line data epidemiological research, which combines National Vital Statistics System, population US Census Bureau....
Management of daily stress can be greatly improved by delivering sensor-triggered just-in-time interventions (JITIs) on mobile devices. The success such JITIs critically depends being able to mine the time series noisy sensor data find most opportune moments. In this paper, we propose a pattern mining method detect significant episodes in discontinuous and rapidly varying data. We apply our model 4 weeks physiological, GPS, activity collected from 38 users their natural environment discover...
Background: Disparities in postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) its prophylaxis may exist based on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES). Our objective was to evaluate whether patients from racial ethnic minority groups lower SES backgrounds received less appropriate PONV experienced higher rates of post-discharge (PDNV). Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 23,333 adults who underwent major surgeries (total knee arthroplasty, cholecystectomy, hysterectomy,...
Substance use can occur as a result of coping with stress. Within the school context, youth are exposed to stressors related achievement and peer-relationships. Protective factors, such spirituality, may moderate adolescents' engagement in substance use.The current study investigated role spirituality association between stress use, an effort test hypothesis that moderates use.This used data from grades 6-8 attending 40 parochial private schools. A total 5,217 students participated web-based...
Few studies have considered the potential role of built environment in increasing adolescent substance use. The current study explored relationship between alcohol outlets, a malleable component neighborhood environment, and behavioral outcomes. Specifically, we investigated outlet density, perceived alcohol, tobacco, marijuana availability (ATOD), perception use as problem at school, self-reported ATOD Data come from Maryland Safe Supportive Schools (MDS3) Initiative, statewide project...
African Americans are overrepresented among reported coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases and deaths. There a multitude of factors that may explain the American disparity in COVID-19 outcomes, including higher rates comorbidities. While individual-level predictably contribute to disparate systematic structural have not yet been reported. It stands reason implicit biases fuel racial outcomes. To address this disparity, we must apply health equity lens disaggregate data explicitly for...
Objective: This research examined whether publicly funded drug treatment centers (DTCs) were associated with violent crime in excess of the violence happening around other commercial businesses. Method: Violent data and locations community entities geocoded mapped. DTCs retail outlets matched based on a Neighborhood Disadvantage score at census tract level. Street network buffers ranging from 100 to 1,400 feet placed each location. Negative binomial regression models used estimate...
Although there is a moral and ethical obligation for organizations to foster diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), are also federal state laws in the United States other countries ensure that do not wittingly or unwittingly adopt practices discriminatory.1,2 To mitigate discriminatory practices, typically develop DEI policies, which cover representation participation of people different gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability status.3 A clear robust policy should...

Gun violence remains a pressing public health concern, especially in high-risk urban environments. Community-level intervention efforts are being mounted cities across the United States to prevent and reduce most severe forms of violence. There is growing evidence suggest effectiveness Safe Streets Program/ Cure Violence as community-based homicides shootings. The mechanism underlying reductions community theorized be linked with changes attitudes toward well shifts social norms related...
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are a promising solution to grid-scale energy storage that utilize solvated redox-active species store charge. These electrolytes flowed over stationary electrodes during charge and discharge cycling. However, solubilizing the allows for their crossover through separating membrane, causing electrolyte mixing, leads capacity fade battery failure. Herein, we employ series of trimethylammonium-functionalized polyethylene membranes in RFB cells address membrane...
