AU - Kuklina, Elena AU - Richardson, LaTonia AU - Coronado, Fátima AB - Approximately half of US adults have hypertension, with only 1 in 4 having it controlled. Regular visits to primary care can assist with managing hypertension. We estimated the number of US adults aged ≥18 years with self-reported hypertension reporting primary care visits within the last year. AB - Using the 2023 National Health Interview Survey, we identified respondents who reported a hypertension diagnosis. Among this population, we calculated the percentage and numbers who reported primary care visits in the last year by select demographic and socioeconomic covariates. AB - Our analytical sample of 10,953 US adults with self-reported hypertension represented 81.9 million adults nationally. Overall, 91.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 90.7%, 92.3%) of US adults with self-reported hypertension reported primary care visits in the last year, representing 75 million nationally. Adults aged 18-44 years had the lowest proportion of visits to primary care by age, 82.3% (95% CI: 79.0%, 85.3%). Males (90.1%, 95% CI: 88.8%, 91.3%) were less likely than females (93.1%, 95% CI: 92.1%, 94.0%) to report visits. Among those with no insurance coverage, only 79.8% (95% CI: 75.3%, 83.8%) reported primary care visits in the last year. AB - Over 90% of US adults with self-reported hypertension reported a primary care visit in the previous year, representing important opportunities to manage hypertension.

There is limited knowledge about what proportion of older adults who fall sustain injuries that need medical attention. Screening is the first step in helping older adults reduce their risk of falls. However, there is limited research on how well current fall screeners can predict fall injuries. AB - Previously collected data from community-dwelling older adults enrolled in a 13-month long study, from the AmeriSpeak Panel, were analyzed. Baseline survey included questions related to demographics, falls risk factors, and falls risk screeners (CDC's 3 Key Questions (3KQ) and Stay Independent). Weighted percentages and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of older adults reporting one or more falls, fall-related injuries, falls needing any medical attention, falls resulting in doctor visits, and falls resulting in Emergency Department (ED) visits and/or hospitalization by demographics and fall risk factors were calculated. Risk ratios, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated to compare the two screeners' ability to predict fall injury outcomes. AB - Among older adults who fell, 24.8% had an injury resulting in any medical attention, 14.5% sought treatment at a doctor's office, and 14.3% sought treatment at an ED/hospital. Sensitivity estimates for baseline 3KQ and Stay Independent screeners for falls resulting in an ED/hospital visit were 87.3% and 75.0%, respectively. Specificity estimates were 47.4% and 63.6%. AB - At least one in four older adults who fell needed medical attention. The 3KQ or Stay Independent screeners identified a large proportion of older adults who sought treatment at an ED/hospital for falls. However, using them may result in a large number of false positives. AB - Clinicians may use these screeners to identify older adults at high fall injury risk, assess them for specific risk factors, and intervene accordingly.

The current study evaluated the efficacy of an augmented LifeSaver smartphone app in reducing SPUWD among teen drivers and their parents. AB - Objectively collected app data and survey data were used to evaluate the app's effectiveness in reducing SPUWD and its usability and acceptability among teen drivers and their parents. AB - Data collected by the LifeSaver app revealed no significant decrease in overall SPUWD, however parents spent significantly less time using social media apps while certain features of the app were enabled. AB - Parents expressed reluctance to change their own distracted driving behavior but preferred that their teens not engage in that same behavior. This important finding suggests that anti-distracted driving interventions must target not only teens but families as a whole.

AB - Motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) are the leading cause of work-related fatalities in the United States. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) matched and analyzed the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) and the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) to describe work-related MVCs. AB - BLS matched CFOI and FARS data for 2011-2014. The matching algorithm used a series of iterative matches allowing for increasing levels of flexibility. Descriptive epidemiologic analysis was conducted to examine potential risk factors for MVCs. AB - Crashes: Information on 3,822 fatal work-related MVCs was successfully matched. A collision (n = 3,156, 82.5%) was most often the first injury- or damage-producing event. Collisions with motor vehicles in transport accounted for 1,769 (46.5%) of crashes. Vehicles: The match identified 3,879 vehicles. Over half (53.6%) were large trucks. In most vehicles, one fatality (n = 3,657) occurred. Multiple worker fatalities per vehicle (n = 203) were more common in heavy trucks (n = 59, 29.1%) and pick-up trucks (n = 36, 17.7%). AB - The match identified 4,060 workers, 3,581 (88.2%) of whom were drivers. Workers employed in transportation, warehousing, and utilities (38.2%) and services (24.4%) accounted for most fatalities. Among passengers, the highest proportions were observed in mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction (28.6%) and construction (20.0%). A small number of drivers were reported as impaired by being asleep or fatigued (5.2%), under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and medications (3.0%) or blacking out (1.8%). For 755 (21.1%) of the 3,581 drivers, the investigating officer indicated that speed contributed to the crash. Conclusions/Practical Applications: The CFOI/FARS matched data analysis provides a fuller understanding of work-related MVCs, thus making it possible to develop focused crash prevention recommendations for workers who drive as part of their job.

There are about 4,500 fatal unintentional drownings in the United States each year, and more children ages 1-4 die from drowning than from any other cause. Some sociodemographic characteristics are associated with increased risk of unintentional fatal drowning. The purpose of this study was to better understand the association between county-level social vulnerability and unintentional fatal drowning. AB - This study used the 2014 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (CDC/ATSDR) Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System from 1999 to 2023. Counties were ranked and categorized into tertiles across social vulnerability scores for all indicators of the SVI. Negative binomial regression was used to estimate crude rate ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals comparing county-level fatal drowning rates and the SVI indicators. AB - County-level social vulnerability is associated with unintentional fatal drowning. Counties with high overall social vulnerability had fatal drowning rates 1.59 times as high as counties with low social vulnerability. These associations were most pronounced for the SVI indicators of socioeconomic status (RR = 1.56), disability status (RR = 1.49), and proportion of mobile homes (RR = 1.62). AB - While the reasons for the associations between indicators of the SVI and higher rates of drowning are not fully understood, counties with high social vulnerability may be associated with reduced access to swimming pools, affordable swimming lessons, and other evidence-based drowning prevention strategies. AB - Communities can use the SVI and other indicators of risk to support drowning prevention program implementation, ensuring strategies reach and are tailored to populations most at risk of drowning.

AB - Foot slipping is a common initiating event in ladder falls, often leading to severe injuries. Methods for measuring the slipperiness of rungs are impeded by a lack of data on slip events during climbing. This study investigated the kinematics and kinetics of ladder slip events to guide coefficient of friction test methods for ladder rungs. Eighty-eight participants (45F, 43 M; 43.4 ± 12.3 yrs; 80.1 ± 16.9 kg; 170.9 ± 91.6 cm) climbed a series of ladder configurations with differing rung designs and ladder angles in a randomized order. A liquid contaminant (90 % glycerol +10 % water by volume) was applied during each participant's final trial and the responses were categorized into slip and non-slip events with a cluster analysis and reviewer classification. A total of 11 slipping events (9 forward and 2 backward slips) were identified from 102 ladder climbs based upon their peak slipping speeds and slip distances. Slipping speed, shoe-rung angle, transverse foot angle, normal force, shear force, anterior-posterior (AP) foot position, and medio-lateral (ML) foot position were quantified at the start of slip and at the peak slipping speed for forward slips with mean values and 95 % confidence intervals reported. Slips had speeds of 0.34 m/s at their peak, with normal forces around 460 N. We argue the need for testing conditions informed by the under-shoe conditions observed in this study: forward slipping (8° dorsiflexion, 0.34 m/s, 400 N).

AB - A link between infection and chronic illness has been recognized, along with the complexities of interactions between pathogen, environment, host genetics, route of exposure, and timing of outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought this issue to the forefront and Long COVID is recognized to be an infection associated chronic condition. However, given the wide range of Long COVID presentations, the singular expression gives a false sense of simplicity. Long COVID is best considered as a group of infection associated conditions requiring developing research studies and treatment trials that address the inherent heterogeneity.

AB - Asanté HIV-1 Rapid Recency Assay identifies HIV-1 recent infection based on antibody avidity among newly diagnosed individuals. We estimated the mean duration of recent infection (MDRI), false recency rate (FRR), the probability of being classified as recent over time and examined the assay reproducibility. A total of 967 longitudinal plasma specimens from 180 HIV-1 seroconverting individuals, all antiretroviral treatment (ART) naïve, from multiple countries were used to determine the MDRI, while cross-sectional plasma specimens from individuals infected for >1 year (total AB - = 1,285; AB - = 926 without AIDS; AB - = 359 with AIDS; all ART naïve) were tested to estimate the FRR. All specimens were tested by two testers and results were interpreted visually, followed by a line intensity reader. Linear interpolation and polynomial regression were used to estimate the duration of recent infection by subject. MDRI was calculated as a mean of individual duration of recency while FRR was calculated as a fraction of long-term (LT) cases that were misclassified as recent. The LT line intensity, a reflection of antibody avidity, demonstrated an overall increase over time, especially during the first year after seroconversion. The MDRI was 160 days [95% confidence interval (CI), 140-181] by linear interpolation and 167 days (95% CI, 147-187) by polynomial regression among ART-naïve cases. Probability of individuals testing as recent infection was 97.9% (95% CI, 93.9%-99.3%) by 1 month post-seroconversion and decreased to 10.3% (95% CI, 6.3%-16.5%) by 12 months. FRR was 2.1% (95% CI, 1.3%-3.2%) among ART-naïve individuals infected >1 year and 5.1% (95% CI, 3.4%-7.8%) among patients with AIDS. The assay indicated high inter-tester reproducibility of 96.2%. It can be a valuable tool for program-based HIV-1 recent infection surveillance for a better understanding of risk factors of acquiring new infections. Our study provides evidence about the performance of the assay for data interpretation of recency surveillance among newly diagnosed individuals.

AB - HIV Partner Services (HIV-PS) is a vital strategy for identifying and linking individuals to treatment and prevention; however, its population-level impact has been limited. This study investigated the potential impact of expanding HIV-PS to include previously diagnosed individuals and a broader sexual partner network in reducing HIV incidence among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). AB - Stochastic network models were used to simulate HIV and bacterial sexually transmitted infection transmission within male same-sex partnerships in Atlanta. Two primary interventions were examined: prioritizing people with previously diagnosed HIV who were out-of-care (PWDH-OOC) in routine HIV-PS and expanding partner elicitation to include partners of HIV-positive partners of index cases. We quantified how modifications to HIV-PS cascade steps under these interventions would impact HIV incidence among GBMSM. AB - Expanded partner elicitation modestly increased the pool of partners eligible for linkage to transmission-disrupting services, with minimal impact on HIV incidence. In contrast, including PWDH-OOC led to a 10-fold increase in both index-case and partner pools. However, substantial reductions in HIV incidence required enhancements to other HIV-PS steps, particularly in partner identification and antiretroviral therapy (ART) reengagement for PWDH-OOC. Prioritizing ART reengagement for PWDH-OOC, alongside optimized HIV-PS, resulted in up to 63% of HIV infections being averted. AB - Our study highlights the potential of strategic improvements to HIV-PS for accelerating HIV incidence reduction among GBMSM. Synergistic optimization of HIV-PS, along with prioritizing ART reengagement for previously diagnosed individuals, will be essential for achieving substantial reductions in HIV incidence.

This study aimed to generate new health-related quality of life data for a prominent US non-fatal injury surveillance source using disability weights derived from general population survey estimates. AB - Disability weights reflecting severity as measured on a 0 (no disability) to 1 (death) scale, for 47 natures of injury from the Global Burden of Diseases, Risk Factors and Injuries Study (GBD) were mapped to 492 injury types in the US National Electronic Injury Surveillance System - All Injury Program (NEISS-AIP). The matching of GBD natures of injury to NEISS-AIP injury types was based on the underlying definitions for each injury diagnosis. AB - The average disability value weighted by incidence for all NEISS-AIP types was 0.073 (95% uncertainty interval: 0.050-0.097), and the range by injured body part and diagnosis was 0.006-0.408. Injuries that impacted large or critical body parts (lower trunk, upper trunk, head and neck) had the highest disability weights. Internal injuries, crushing, burns, nerve damage and fractures had higher disability weight values than lacerations, avulsions and contusions. The three most common NEISS-AIP non-fatal injury types during 2015-2020 were poisoning, internal injuries of the head and face lacerations, with disability weights of 0.163 (0.109-0.227), 0.168 (0.112-0.232) and 0.018 (0.010-0.029), respectively.

Yet, our understanding of the effectiveness, acceptability, and long-term sustainability of these is limited, and research rarely assesses the offering of programming within a geographic region. AB - We conducted online environmental scans in 2019 and 2022 (a period that encapsulates a farm income crisis and the height of the COVID-19 pandemic) in three Midwest states to understand: 1) what the mental health programming landscape looks like, 2) how it has evolved in response to crises, and 3) the progress made toward addressing major stressors and key barriers to care. AB - The number of organizations providing resources more than quadrupled, and the number of programs and resources more than tripled. Organizations most represented shifted from the farm sector in 2019 to the health sector in 2022. Educational material remained most prevalent, followed by programming to increase health care access. Meanwhile, the share of programming addressing key stressors was halved. Programming was overwhelmingly targeted at the farm population over service providers, with visual representations overall lacking diversity. AB - Findings around the sharp increases in programming and organizations involved hint at challenges connected to the coordination and sustainability of programming. The emphasis on addressing the manifestations of mental health challenges in tandem with limited linkages to financial resources raises questions about the efficacy and acceptability of programming. It also hints at the potential (re)enforcement of norms and stigma around mental health and help-seeking.

This study assessed CASN memberships' interests, priorities, and use of resources to help plan future activities and assess member engagement and satisfaction. We electronically surveyed 201 CASN members; 60 responded (29.85%). Respondents were asked about their affiliations, participation in agricultural associations, past and future level of engagement, agricultural safety interests, use of agricultural resources, and future activities of interest. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to understand heterogeneity in the CASN members based on their selected interests. Classes were then tested in logistic regression models to determine how they might differ based on how much of a problem they perceived injury in youth to be, their level of past and future engagement, and their years with CASN. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to estimate effect sizes. Exploratory factor analysis was used to assess the patterns of use of resources by respondents. Frequencies were reported for use of resources and future interests. Two groups of CASN members were identified based on reported topics of interest. Specialists (58.9%) were focused on the use of motorized vehicles and roadways. The second group, Generalists (41.1%), had more diverse interests. The two groups differed on how seriously they viewed the problem of agricultural injury in youth (Generalist vs Specialist: OR = 6.27; 1.56, 25.2) and their interest in participating in future CASN activities (Generalist vs. Specialist: OR = 8.75; 1.76, 43.5). The use of 11 resources fell into two patterns. Nearly half of respondents reported current use of the Ag Youth Work Guidelines, Ag Injury News, and the Child Ag Injury Prevention Workshop. CASN is heterogeneous in their agricultural interests around youth safety and their use of resources. In planning future campaigns, it is important to meet the needs of both groups, with activities planned around ATV/UTV and roadway safety and keeping young children out of the worksite, as well as specific topics of concern such as manure ponds, skid steers, and agritourism.

TY - Journal Article AU - Barry, Vaughn AU - Matthews, Sarah Abigail AU - Beck, Laurie AU - Rockhill, Sarah AU - Fletcher, Kelly AU - West, Bethany A AU - Ballesteros, Michael AB - Communities experiencing more social vulnerability are disproportionately harmed by environmental disasters, disease, and injury. This cross-sectional study examined whether US county-level vulnerability scores were associated with 2019 passenger vehicle occupant or pedestrian death rates. AB - County-level vulnerability was measured by 2020 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Social Vulnerability Index scores. Scores were based on 16 community-level characteristics categorised into 4 themes: socioeconomic status; household characteristics; race and ethnicity and housing type and transportation. Counties were divided into quartiles from least to most vulnerable, based on the score distribution among all counties. Deaths were identified from the 2019 Fatality Analysis Reporting System. Death rates per 100 000 population were stratified by vulnerability quartile and urbanicity. Large central metropolitan county results used the second least vulnerability quartile as reference. AB - Among 328 320 065 people across 3140 counties, there were 22 942 occupant and 6272 pedestrian deaths. Occupant death rates were higher in most vulnerable counties compared with least for all urbanicity levels (large central metropolitan: 4.0 vs 2.8; large fringe metropolitan: 7.4 vs 5.2; medium/small metropolitan: 8.9 vs 7.0; non-metropolitan: 18.5 vs 12.2) with disparities prominent in counties experiencing more socioeconomic and household vulnerability. Pedestrian death rates were highest in most vulnerable counties compared with least (large central metropolitan: 2.5 vs 1.4; large fringe metropolitan: 3.3 vs 1.0; medium/small metropolitan: 2.8 vs 0.8; non-metropolitan: 2.4 vs 0.9) with disparities prominent for all four vulnerability types. AB - Tailoring prevention strategies to communities experiencing infrastructure inadequacies, improving safe transportation options and reducing poverty may help reduce crash death disparities.

Our objective was to identify evidence-based practices for occupational health settings in managing ototoxicity. This resulted in the document, AB - created by the International Ototoxicity Management Group. AB - To develop a practical approach for any workplace, we reviewed a variety of sources and used an international panel of interdisciplinary experts. Evidence included data from experimental, observational, and review studies. Thirty-two subject matter experts were invited to review the document; twenty-two completed the review and unanimously endorsed the ototoxicity management system as proposed. AB - Six key action steps were proposed to: (1) identify workers exposed to ototoxic chemicals, (2) perform auditory and vestibular assessments, (3) follow-up after monitoring health, (4) document worker data, (5) maintain healthy safety culture, and (6) review ototoxicity management approach. These steps focus on the management of workers who are at-risk for workplace ototoxic chemical exposure at any level (with or without concurrent noise exposures). AB - Early identification strategies include self-report questionnaires; auditory testing; vestibular screening; referrals for diagnosis; management of cases; and monitoring of exposure scenarios to prevent further cases.

In 2018, the TB COEs conducted a multiphased assessment among U.S. staff involved in TB service delivery to identify needs related to TB training, resources, and medical consultation. Representatives from each TB COE and CDC's Division of TB Elimination formed a workgroup to guide the design of the needs assessment. The group used an online survey for data collection. Participants were staff working in some capacity on TB within the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Staff could be in non-public health (e.g., community health center, hospital, laboratory, private practice) or public health (state or local health department staff responsible for TB) settings and did not have to be a clinical health care provider (N = 1,482). We identified four priority areas for future TB training and education efforts. These areas include (1) focus on key topics; (2) tailor training and products to different professions, settings, and skill levels; (3) keep learners updated on the latest resources and best practices; and (4) use a mix of training methods and formats. The findings highlighted future priorities for TB training and education and were shared with health department TB programs throughout the United States.

AU - Borrow, Ray AB - The serum bactericidal antibody using human complement (hSBA) assay, the accepted surrogate measure of meningococcal vaccine efficacy, is limited by human sera and complement requirements. Pfizer developed and validated the flow-cytometry-based Meningococcal Antigen Surface Expression (MEASURE) assay to quantify surface-expressed factor H binding protein (fHbp) levels on intact meningococci. Surface expression of fHbp is correlated with hSBA assay killing by MenB-fHbp (Trumenba AB - )-induced antibody, meaning the MEASURE assay can be used to predict meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) strain susceptibility to antibodies elicited by MenB-fHbp. This study aimed to evaluate interlaboratory precision and reproducibility of the MEASURE assay. AB - The MEASURE assay was transferred to UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) laboratories. MEASURE assay results from 42 MenB strains encoding sequence-diverse fHbp variants that express fHbp at different levels were compared between the UKHSA, CDC, and Pfizer laboratories. Intermediate precision within each laboratory was determined. AB - Pairwise comparisons of fHbp expression levels for all 42 MenB test strains showed >97 % agreement across the 3 laboratories when strains were grouped above or below a mean fluorescence intensity level of 1000, the threshold previously established as indicative of susceptibility to MenB-fHbp-induced antibodies in the hSBA assay. Each laboratory met assay precision criteria of ≤30 % total relative standard deviation. AB - Quantification of fHbp surface expression using the MEASURE assay is robust and reproducible across different laboratories. Previously determined cutoffs corresponding to predicted susceptibility to vaccine-induced antibodies can be applied to MEASURE data generated across laboratories.

Though widespread globally, few instances of locally transmitted New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM)-producing CP-CRPA have been documented in the United States. Here, a cluster of locally transmitted NDM-1 CP-CRPA infections in Southern California is reported. AB - Epidemiologic investigations involving both patient screening and environmental surveillance by microbiological culture, carbapenemase testing, and bacterial whole-genome sequencing were conducted. AB - Through extensive epidemiologic investigations, a sink environmental reservoir was identified. A genetically unique strain of NDM-CRPA was identified to be transmitted among seven patients in a single hospital over the course of 1.5 years. Changes in antimicrobial resistance genes harbored by a mobile genetic element were identified between the index and later cases, and the gene encoding NDM-1 resided within a mobile genetic element on the chromosome displaying evidence of widespread transmission between different species. Several interventions were implemented, including sink P-trap replacement and disinfectant against Pseudomonas biofilms. No additional cases were identified after the interventions. AB - Implementation of real-time pathogen surveillance enabled effective response to an ongoing outbreak that involved environmental sampling, microbiological testing, whole-genome sequencing, facility management, and updated infection prevention policies.

AB - Maintaining the particulate emissions from contemporary diesel engines equipped with diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems at targeted levels and assuring the effectiveness of DPF systems retrofitted to traditional diesel engines are critical to the efforts of underground mining operations to reduce exposures of miners to diesel particulate matter. The methodologies and instrumentation currently used to support the emission-assisted maintenance (EAM) programs for previous generations of diesel engines are in need of improvement to allow for monitoring low concentrations of complex aerosols emitted by the advanced diesel engines. The results showed that of the test conditions currently used in EAM programs, the torque converter stall and hydraulic stall are the most suitable for assessing the effectiveness of the DPF-based advanced aftertreatment systems. The low idle and high idle test conditions, frequently used in EAM programs for traditional engines, did not produce reliable and reproducible data. The solid particle number (SPN) concentrations proved to be more suitable than total particulate number concentrations as a metric for EAM monitoring of diesel aerosols emitted by advanced diesel engines. The findings of this study should provide the underground mining industry with valuable information needed to enhance their EAM programs.

AU - Akintobi, Tabia Henry AB - The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to shed light on the disproportionately negative impact of public health pandemics among racial/ethnic minorities and other systematically marginalized communities persistency experiencing poorer health and health outcomes. Far less statistical investigation has been conducted to confirm the disease agnostic social determinants correlated with the intersection of emergent crisis, chronic health conditions and local contexts to inform proactive response strategies. This study investigated the influence of Social Vulnerability (SV), barriers to access to vaccination and Racial Disparities (RD) on COVID-19 infection and death rates among Georgian residents using Georgia Department of Public Health data and County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. AB - We adjusted analyses for other predictors of outcomes by using the Poisson Generalized Linear Mixed Models (with county as the unit of analysis). We iteratively modeled county-specific infection/death rates as a function of the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI, % Racial Population Gap (RPG) [(60+years % White - %African Americans/Blacks (AA)/Black)], education, %unemployed, %uninsured, % obese, % fully vaccinated, racial differences in respiratory infection discharge rates and %AA /Black residents (w/o RPG in the model). AB - Per adjusted models' results of COVID-19 related death,, I) AA/Blacks, relative to Whites, were 51% more likely to die (p-value <0.0001), 1) by age-specific and overall estimates(p-values <0.0001 and 2) at a younger mean age (p-value < 0.0001), II) 1% increase in SVI increases the risk of death by 25% (p-value <0.0001) and III) risk of death decreases by 2.3% for every % increase in 60+ years old Whites vs. Black males county residents (p-value <0.0001). The case infection rate a) decreased by a.1) 0.1% for every percent population increase in the racial gap (i.e., more Whites than AA/Blacks in a county) (p-values = 0.0122) and a.2) 27% for every % increase of those fully vaccinated(p-value < 0.0001). The rates also increased by a) 17% with every 1% increase in SV Index p-value <0.0001) b) 1% for every 0.1% increase in those a) obese (p-value < 0.0001) and b) uninsured (p-value < 0.0001). AB - Attention to the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) factors associated with COVID-19 illness and death signal the need for proactive prevention and mitigation interventions prior to and in the wake of public health pandemics thereby bridging the health disparity gap.
