AB - MSM aged 18-39 were recruited through convenience sampling to participate in cognitive interviews during which study staff screen-shared the PrEP training series and asked open-ended questions on the modules' script content, visuals and graphics, and audio. Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed for common themes using a codebook guided by Fogg's Functional Triad, a theoretical framework which describes the persuasive functions of technology as a tool, media, and a social actor. AB - Thirty participants completed cognitive interviews between November 2023 and January 2024. Common feedback included that the PrEP training videos were a useful tool for those who were either looking to start or continue PrEP use. Further, participants appreciated that the videos were inclusive of diverse populations who may benefit from PrEP, and noted that they should include important topics such as access to PrEP and plain language to improve comprehension of material. AB - Our study applied Fogg's Functional Triad to identify ways in which our PrEP training series can facilitate PrEP uptake and adherence and allowed us to understand how this video series may be perceived prior to sharing it with the general public during our mChoice implementation study. AB - The training series has the potential to promote shared decision making in a healthcare setting. Feedback collected during cognitive interviews demonstrates the need for clear and comprehensive PrEP educational tools made specifically for patients as well as the need for involvement of the priority intervention audience in the creation of the training materials prior to their release to the public.

AU - Ammons, Douglas AU - Choi, HeeSun AB - The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of robot arm size, movement speed, and degrees of freedom on perceived safety, trust, mental workload, human behaviors, and task performance in a collaborative pick-and-place task. Fifty-six participants completed the experiment in a virtual reality environment where they interacted with a robot manipulator. Robot arm speed had a greater impact on self-reported measures, compared to task performance and human behavior. Overall, mean ratings of surprise and fear significantly increased across speed levels of 60 deg/s (surprise = 1.19/6; fear = 1.18/6), 120 deg/s (surprise = 1.37/6; fear = 1.33/6), and 180 deg/s (surprise = 1.65/6; fear = 1.67/6). Conversely, robot arm size and degrees of freedom had a greater influence on task performance and human behavior than on the self-reported outcomes. These findings may provide insights for robot manufacturers and standard committees to improve perceived safety in the workplace.

AB - We investigated the association of antecedent infections with clinical subgroups and phenotypes in the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). AB - Adult IIM patients (362 with dermatomyositis (DM), 250 with polymyositis (PM), and 256 with inclusion body myositis (IBM)) enrolled in a national myositis patient registry. One hundred thirty-four patients had symptoms of lung disease plus fever and/or arthritis (LD+), and 103 with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease-associated overlap myositis (OM). Self-reported infections and antibiotic usage within 12 months prior to IIM diagnosis were examined. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated across IIMs. LD+ and OM analyses were performed excluding IBM patients. AB - Infections before IIM diagnosis were more frequent in DM and PM than IBM. Febrile illness and gastroenteritis were more frequent in DM than IBM (OR 2.82 and 3.30, respectively), and in PM than IBM (OR 3.27 and 3.26, respectively). Patients with LD+ and OM had higher odds of reported infections than those without these phenotypes, with pneumonia the most strongly associated infection (OR 5.26 95% CI 2.59-10.71 in LD+, OR 2.75, 95% CI 1.25-6.06 in OM). Antibiotic usage within 1 year before diagnosis did not differ among DM, PM and IBM patients, nor in OM. Antibiotics were used more frequently used in patients with LD+ compared to no LD, but this was attenuated after adjusting for infections. AB - Antecedent infections, particularly respiratory and gastrointestinal infections may contribute to adult IIM phenotypes. Pneumonia showed the strongest association with myositis phenotypes accompanied by frequent lung disease.

AB - The unintentional consumption of stimulants containing fentanyl among people who intend to only use stimulants contributes to overdose mortality in North America. Research exploring how fentanyl appears in the stimulant supply among people who manufacture and/or distribute drugs (PWDD) is critical to understanding supply-side factors that shape stimulant and opioid-involved overdose risk. AB - From April to July 2023, thirty PWDD incarcerated at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections completed an in-depth interview about stimulant and opioid-involved overdose. Data were thematically analyzed to explore speculated pathways through which fentanyl may appear in stimulants. AB - Participants primarily endorsed unintentional fentanyl contamination pathways, including the accidental mix-up of drugs that look alike and cross-contamination via surfaces containing residual fentanyl where stimulant product is packaged. Congruent with historically contested beliefs about drug cutting and adulteration to induce dependence, some participants speculated that fentanyl may be intentionally added to stimulants to induce fentanyl dependence among people intending to only use stimulants to increase profits, though no participant reported firsthand knowledge of this. Participants extensively familiar with opioid and stimulant drug markets believed intentional contamination at high-level drug trafficking organizations was unlikely to occur as this would mix the drug markets, harming the profitability of maintaining distinct opioid and stimulant markets. AB - Our findings challenge beliefs about the intentional addition of fentanyl in stimulants, showing them to be unsubstantiated. Instead, participants with advanced knowledge of drug manufacturing and distribution reported that fentanyl primarily appears in the stimulant supply unintentionally underscoring the need for targeted strategies to reduce contamination.

AB - In the general population, aging is associated with an increase in systemic inflammation and chronic disease burden. However, in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), older age is uniquely associated with a decrease in disease activity, suggesting a distinct relationship between aging and inflammation. Using a multiomic approach, we compared aging-related changes in the peripheral blood immune profiles of 287 patients with SLE and 928 healthy controls. In patients with SLE, aging correlated with lower expression of interferon (IFN)-stimulated genes (ISGs) across multiple cell types, decreased plasma IFN-α2, and differential genome methylation. Both patients with SLE and controls demonstrated age-related declines in naïve T cells, but only patients with SLE exhibited increases in CD56 AB - natural killer cells with older age. Of the genes both down-regulated and hypermethylated with older age, ISGs were disproportionately represented, suggesting a role for epigenetic silencing. Altogether, we found that patients with SLE exhibit unique aging-related decreases in IFN signaling that correlate with improved disease activity.

AU - Sparer-Fine, Emily AB - Describe work-related asthma (WRA) cases and associated exposures in the legalized cannabis industry. AB - Using data from four state-based surveillance systems (California, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Washington), WRA cases within the cannabis industry were identified and classified as new-onset asthma or work-aggravated asthma. AB - From legalization dates (1996 in California, 2012 in Massachusetts, 2008 in Michigan, 1998 in Washington) through 2023, 30 WRA cases were identified. A majority were aged 18 to 34 years (66.7%) and were male (60%). Thirteen (52%) cases were new-onset asthma, and 12 (48%) were work-aggravated asthma, with two fatalities.

Foods observed on campus or reported in the dietary recall were aggregated, a composite Adolescent Dietary Diversity Score (ADDS) was derived, and the proportion achieving minimum dietary diversity was estimated. Multi-level regression models were used to assess associations between a ranked school food environment score (FES) and nutrition outcomes.ResultsThe number of food groups served or available for purchase was 6.2 in JHS and 8.1 in SHS ( AB - -value < .0001). The mean (95% CI) FES was 10.9 (10.1-11.7) at JHS and 14.3 (13.6-14.9) at SHS. ADDS ranged from 4.1 to 4.8 across strata. Higher FES was positively associated with ADDS and minimum dietary diversity among SHS students and negatively associated with anemia in girls and boys. Girls from high FES schools had 24% lower odds of anemia (OR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.63-0.93) while boys had 46% lower odds (OR = 0.54; 95% CI = 0.34-0.84) compared to students in low FES schools.ConclusionsHigher FES was associated with greater dietary diversity among SHS students and lower odds of anemia in girls and boys, suggesting that the school food environment may play a role in determining nutrition outcomes.

Given that populations with high burden of HIV may be more likely to experience poor mental health outcomes, it is important to validate measures used to assess SMI among these groups. Using data from CDC's National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) system in the United States, we examined psychometric characteristics of the K6 scale, including exploratory factor analysis, scale reliability, construct validity, and review of interviewer feedback to explore scale performance in the field. Analyses confirmed a single factor structure and demonstrated that the K6 scale had high internal consistency and construct validity. Although interviewers noted that the effort item was difficult for some participants to understand, psychometric properties were not greatly improved with the deletion of the item. The results of this analysis suggest that the K6 scale is appropriate for use among NHBS populations with a high burden of HIV, including persons who inject drugs, heterosexually active adults at increased risk for HIV infection, women who exchange sex for money or drugs, and gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men.

AU - LaRocque, Regina C. AU - Hyle, Emily P. AB - Pre-travel health interventions can reduce the acquisition of communicable diseases and decrease the risk of transmission during or after international travel. We sought to inform policy and research priorities with a scoping literature review of studies that assess the cost-effectiveness of pre-travel interventions. AB - We assessed 44 economic evaluation studies published from 1946-2023, regarding pre-travel prevention of hepatitis A, hepatitis B, influenza, malaria, rabies, travellers' diarrhoea, cholera, polio, typhoid fever, measles, and Japanese encephalitis. AB - Published studies demonstrate that hepatitis A vaccination, malaria chemoprophylaxis and typhoid vaccination for people travelling to highly endemic settings are likely to be cost-effective, as is measles-mumps-rubella vaccination. The cost-effectiveness of other pre-travel interventions is more sensitive to travel frequency and duration, endemicity at the travel destination, travel purpose (e.g. business, leisure, visiting friends and relatives), risk perceptions (e.g. adherence to care plan, choosing to vaccinate), and costs. AB - Cost-effectiveness analyses of pre-travel interventions can inform the value of such interventions, but such analyses depend on the availability of high-quality data regarding clinical outcomes and costs. We propose that international, collaborative networks should collect data and leverage novel technologies to expand the evidence base regarding the risks of exposure, clinical outcomes, risk perception, and costs associated with pre-travel interventions. This evidence base can inform recommendations for specific groups of travellers and the formulation of population-specific health policies.

AB - World Trade Center (WTC) responders who were more severely exposed to the airborne pollution while working in rescue and recovery work would have heightened circulating levels of β-Amyloid (Aβ) levels in plasma. Plasma for 905 WTC responders was retrieved in 2019 and flash frozen and assayed using single molecule analysis to measure circulating levels of two subtypes of Aβ (Aβ40, Aβ42), alongside phosphorylated tau-181, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament-light. Plasma data were linked to demographics, blood volume, apolipoprotein-ε4 status, and medical outcomes as well as, in a subsample, with neuroimaging-based measures of cortical thickness. Amyloidogenesis was measured using the ratio of observed/expected levels of Aβ40 and labeled Normalized Aβ40. Spearman's rho was used to examine correlations; generalized linear modeling was used to examine multivariable-adjusted associations. The average age of WTC responders was 55.98 years, and 73.9% had completed at least some college. Observed Aβ40 levels were 24.61% higher than expected values, and lower in minimally exposed WTC responders as compared to severely exposed WTC responders (17.26 vs 44.48%, P = .005). Results remained statistically significant upon adjusting for covariates (adjusted blood volume ratio = 1.11 [1.02-1.22] P = .019). Normalized Aβ40 levels were associated with higher measures of phosphorylated tau-181, Aβ42, GFAP, and neurofilament-light in serology as well as, in a subsample (n = 70), with reduced cortical thickness (rho = -0.29, P = .020). Increased amyloidogenesis may be a neuropathological response in people who are severely or chronically exposed to airborne neurotoxic pollutants.

We used a multimodal approach and purposively sampled 21 participating population-based cancer registries in the United States to ensure variation across several registries. The registries reported prospective staffing data and retrospective costing data, completing data collection from October 2021 to September 2022, reporting retrospective costing data for July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. From lessons learned from prior studies, we engaged participating registries early and throughout the study, ensuring the collection of meaningful, accurate quantitative data, as well as insights not captured quantitatively. Case volume is a major driver of registry costs. (On average, high-volume registries outspend low-volume registries by nearly 3x, annually). Upon examination of registry activities by case volume, we found that the two most resource-intensive registry activities are data acquisition and data processing, which may be addressed by innovations, such as electronic reporting and automation. Innovative data transfer and processing approaches could increase timeliness of data collection and reduce the labor resources required to process manually collected data. Registries adopting these innovations might achieve cost savings, which could make resources available to support other registry activities.

Wastewater effluent samples were collected from an SNF over an 8-week period. Wastewater was concentrated using electronegative membrane filtration (enMF), polyethylene glycol precipitation, and Nanotrap AB - magnetic virus particles (NP). Quantification of the genome copy concentration from SARS-CoV-2 and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV), a SARS-CoV-2 surrogate spiked into all samples, was performed with droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). Wastewater sample aliquots were also enriched in microbiological culture media and screened for organisms with AR phenotypes on selective and differential agars. Multiplex real-time PCR was used to detect a broad array of carbapenem resistance genes. SARS-CoV-2 was detected and quantified from a single enMF-concentrated wastewater sample. The highest concentration of BRSV came from enMF-concentrated samples. AB - , AB - , AB - , and AB - exhibiting AR phenotypes were successfully detected using culture-dependent approaches. Culture-independent, multiplex PCR indicated that bla AB - was the main carbapenemase gene detected in wastewater samples. Facility-level wastewater surveillance could be a useful strategy for SNFs.

Presumptive antimicrobial therapy is recommended for sexual contacts, but concerns have been raised about unnecessary antibiotic use. AB - We reviewed visits of patients who reported sexual contact to a partner with CT or NG ("contacts") from January 2021 to October 2023 in 10 STI clinics. We calculated CT and NG positivity, stratified by 3 patient groups (women, men who have sex with men, and men who have sex with women only [MSW]) and symptomatic status. AB - Overall, 11,072 (6.8%) CT and/or NG contacts were identified (7660 [4.7%] CT contacts and 4988 [3.1%] NG contacts). Chlamydia positivity among CT contacts was 35%; NG positivity among NG contacts was 31%. Chlamydia positivity did not differ by symptomatic status across patient groups. Gonorrhea positivity was higher for symptomatic versus asymptomatic men who have sex with men (34% [95% confidence interval {CI}, 31%-37%] vs. 28% [95% CI, 26%-30%]) and MSW (37% [95% CI, 33%-41%] vs. 23% [95% CI, 20%-27%]), but not in women (38% [95% CI, 33%-43%] vs. 37% [95% CI, 32%-42%]). AB - Substantial CT/NG positivity among sexual contacts to CT or NG was observed. Among CT contacts, CT infection was most often detected in MSW; among NG contacts, NG infection was most often detected in women. However, ~60% did not have either CT or NG. The use of point-of-care tests in this population may optimize antimicrobial use while prioritizing individual clinical care.
