To describe the current financial health of syringe services programs (SSPs) in United States and to assess predictors SSP budget levels associations with delivery public interventions.
Importance Opioid-involved overdose mortality has been on the rise for 2 decades in US, exacerbated by an unregulated drug supply that is unpredictable and increasingly contained highly potent fentanyl analogs starting a decade ago. Objective To determine whether there geospatial association between law enforcement seizures opioid-involved San Francisco. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study used location- time-stamped data from Office of Chief Medical Examiner publicly...
This study examined the correlation of peer victimization to psychosocial adjustment in a sample children diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A total 303 files youth who received psycho-educational assessment were reviewed; these, 116 had an ADHD diagnosis. The data collected included Child Behavior Checklist (which includes items assessing victimization), Conner's Parent Rating Scale, Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale and Depression Inventory. Peer was...
We studied 226 low-income households as a part of the Colorado Home Energy Efficiency and Respiratory Health (CHEER) study to investigate relationship between energy-efficiency retrofits (EERs) specific air sealing residential building envelopes, annual average infiltration rates (AAIR), qualitative indicators “healthy” homes. Blower door tests quantified leakage area in each home, which was used estimate AAIR. Walk-through inspections were record observations air-sealing conducted...
Ambient air pollution, temperature, and social stressor exposures are linked with asthma risk, potential synergistic effects. We examined associations for acute pollution temperature exposures, modification by neighborhood violent crime socioeconomic deprivation, on morbidity among children aged 5–17 years year-round in New York City. Using conditional logistic regression a time-stratified, case-crossover design, we quantified percent excess risk of event per 10-unit increase daily,...
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Prevention and Health Promotion. PCD provides an open exchange of information knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, others who strive to improve health public through chronic disease prevention.
Abstract Background In response to the recent and growing shift from injecting opioids smoking fentanyl, an increasing number of syringe services programs (SSPs) in USA are distributing safer supplies. A federal ban prevents SSPs using funding procure There is a lack research on supply distribution harm reduction outcomes. Therefore, we assessed relationship between supplies by levels participant engagement naloxone distribution. Methods We used data 2023 National Survey Syringe Services...
The opioid overdose mortality crisis in the USA is an ongoing public health epidemic. Ongoing law enforcement strategies to disrupt local unregulated drug markets can have iatrogenic effect of increasing by driving consumers towards new suppliers with unpredictable products unknown potency.
Consensus is growing on the need to investigate joint impact of neighborhood-level social factors and environmental hazards respiratory health. This study used latent profile analysis (LPA) empirically identify distinct neighborhood subtypes according a clustering hazards, examine whether those are associated with lung function. The included 182 low-income participants who were enrolled in Colorado Home Energy Efficiency Respiratory Health (CHEER) during years 2015–2017. Distinct typologies...
Epidemiologic evidence consistently links urban air pollution exposures to health, even after adjustment for potential spatial confounding by socioeconomic position (SEP), given concerns that sources may be clustered in and around lower-SEP communities. SEP, however, is often measured with less temporal resolution than are (i.e., census-tract socio-demographics vs. fine-scale spatio-temporal models). Although many questions remain regarding the most appropriate, meaningful scales measurement...

This article evaluates the relations between peer victimization and child parent reports of social-psychological variables 1.5 years later. Thirty-six children diagnosed with endocrine disorders their parents completed questionnaires regarding functioning. Peer at time 2 was significantly related to concurrent depression, loneliness, externalizing internalizing symptoms. Hierarchical linear regression equations indicated that baseline not a significant predictor functioning when levels each...
