Hwang, Jooyeon ;

Gipson, Jenny R.

November 2025 | Environmental Research, 2025, v. 285, no. 1

Firefighters are routinely exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) during fire suppression activities, molecular biomarkers reflecting such exposure remain underexplored. Thus, we explored an integrated exposure assessment framework linking PAH contamination on turnout gear and skin to changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression in skin and b ...

AB - Firefighters are routinely exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) during fire suppression activities, molecular biomarkers reflecting such exposure remain underexplored. Thus, we explored an integrated exposure assessment framework linking PAH contamination on turnout gear and skin to changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression in skin and blood biospecimens. Our goals are to evaluate the relationship between fire-related PAH exposure and miRNA expression profiles in firefighters, and to identify candidate miRNA biomarkers of occupational exposure. This prospective study enrolled 25 firefighters. PAHs on turnout gear and skin were quantified post-fire using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Concurrently, skin tape strips and blood were collected and analyzed for miRNA expression using NanoString's nCounter platform. Bioinformatic analyses, including differential expression, pathway enrichment, and network modeling, were performed to evaluate PAH-associated miRNA dynamics. Five miRNAs showed significant differential expression following fire activity (q < 0.05), with miR-125a-3p showing a 60 % increase post-fire. Biospecimen comparisons showed six differentially expressed miRNAs, including a 91 % reduction in miR-451a expression in skin relative to blood. Network and pathway analyses identified PAH-specific interaction patterns, with Naphthalene emerging as a central node. Pathway enrichment highlighted necroptosis and Th17 cell differentiation as key biological processes affected by exposure. This study provides novel evidence that PAH exposure at fire scenes induces distinct miRNA expression profiles in firefighters. miR-125a-3p emerges as a potential biomarker responsive to fire-related exposures. These findings provide critical insights into PAH-associated transcriptional responses and suggest the potential of miRNA profiling in occupational exposure assessment and cancer risk stratification among firefighters.

Using a test-negative, case-control design, we estimated the effectiveness of 2023-2024 seasonal influenza vaccination against influenza-associated emergency department and urgent care (ED/UC) encounters among pregnant and non-pregnant women of reproductive age using data from seven healthcare systems. Eligible encounters were among individuals aged 18-49 years with documented female sex. Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was estimated by comparing the odds of vaccination among influenza-positive cases versus influenza-negative controls, adjusting for site, age, race/ethnicity, calendar time, and gestational age at encounter (in pregnant women). Among pregnant women (N = 3539), VE against influenza-associated ED/UC encounters was 46 % (95 % CI: 36-55) and did not differ by gestational age at vaccination. Among non-pregnant women (N = 57,709), VE against influenza-associated ED/UC encounters was 54 % (95 % CI: 51-56). Influenza vaccination during the 2023-2024 season was similarly effective in both pregnant and non-pregnant women and by timing of vaccine receipt during pregnancy.

AB - Pediatric COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates by race and ethnicity and characteristics associated with COVID-19-associated hospitalizations. AB - Between March 2020 and September 2023, COVID-NET identified 13 555 pediatric hospitalizations (median patient age, 3.3 years [IQR, 0.6-12.5 years]; 7110 boys [52.5%]; 780 non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander children [5.8%], 3837 non-Hispanic Black children [28.3%], 4131 Hispanic children [30.5%], and 4807 non-Hispanic White children [35.5%]). Hospitalization rates were 2.15 (95% CI, 2.01-2.34) times higher for Black children and 2.06 (95% CI, 1.91-2.23) times higher for Hispanic children compared with Asian or Pacific Islander children, who had the lowest rates. Despite overall decreased pediatric hospitalization rates between October 2022 and September 2023, higher rates of intensive care unit admissions among Black and Hispanic children persisted, at 1.88 (95% CI, 1.28-2.74) times higher for Black children and 2.13 (95% CI, 1.47-3.10) times higher for Hispanic children compared with Asian or Pacific Islander children. Among hospitalized children, 61.4% (95% CI, 57.0%-65.8%) of Black patients and 45.5% (95% CI, 41.9%-49.3%) of Hispanic patients had 1 or more underlying medical condition compared with 45.6% (95% CI, 42.1%-49.1%) of White children and 45.0% (95% CI, 41.9%-49.3%) of Asian or Pacific Islander children. Obesity (17.8%; 95% CI, 15.3%-20.5%) and neurologic disorders (15.2%; 95% CI, 13.7%-16.8%) were the most common conditions overall; 11.9% (95% CI, 9.1%-15.1%) of Black children had sickle cell disease, the fourth most common condition in this group. AB - This study found that among pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID-19, Black and Hispanic children were disproportionately more likely to be hospitalized for COVID-19 and experience severe disease compared with White and Asian or Pacific Islander children. A higher proportion of hospitalized Black children had underlying medical conditions. This study underlines the need for targeted interventions, particularly for children with underlying medical conditions, and the need for equitable access and use of vaccines and therapeutics for disproportionately affected populations.

While some evidence suggests D2C is effective, no comprehensive systematic review has been published. This review aims to determine the effectiveness of D2C. A systematic search in five databases (i.e., MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, sociological abstracts) identified 3868 U.S. studies published between January 2009 and January 2021 that described D2C interventions and measured HIV care outcomes. Two reviewers screened titles/abstracts, reviewed full reports for eligibility, and abstracted data. Risk of bias was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool, and included studies were synthesized quantitatively and qualitatively (Protocol registered on PROSPERO ID = CRD42020173095). Thirty-four studies with 30 unique interventions were identified. Two different meta-analyses, each with six interventions, found that D2C approached significance in improving engagement in care (Relative Risk (RR) 95% CI 1.18 [0.99 to 1.41]) and VS (RR 95% CI 1.44 [0.99 to 2.09]). Studies that could not be incorporated into the meta-analyses, also showed improvements in engagement in care (median percent [IQI]: 63% [45% to 81%], 18 interventions) and VS (median percent [IQI]: 39% [25% to 57%], 14 interventions). Overall, this systematic review suggests that D2C may enhance HIV care outcomes, emphasizing the need for effective strategies to identify and engage OOC persons in care.

TY - Journal Article AU - Kahler, Amy AU - Hofstetter, Jessica AU - Rodrigues, Camila AU - Mattioli, Mia AB - The coccidian parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis is the causative agent for foodborne outbreaks of cyclosporiasis and multiple fresh produce recalls annually. In recent years, this organism has been reported in the water near produce growing operations during outbreak investigations, prompting a call for more research on its environmental prevalence in the United States. Currently, there is a lack of performance data available on methods for conducting this research, including the performance of DNA extraction methods for molecular testing. Extraction methods for environmental samples must be efficient due to the often-limited amount of target nucleic acid and the potential for molecular inhibitors present in an environmental sample. This study assessed the performance of C. cayetanensis nucleic acid extraction seeded into surface water, produce wash water, and tap water by two methods designed for use with environmental samples: the PowerViral and UNEX methods. The PowerSoil extraction method (2 g) was assessed for C. cayetanensis extraction from seeded sewage sludge - an environmental sample type used to evaluate parasite carriage within communities. Extraction performance of the PowerViral and UNEX methods were also assessed for the detection of the foodborne bacterial pathogen Salmonella and a surrogate for foodborne viruses, murine norovirus (MNV) seeded into surface water, produce wash water, and tap water. The PowerViral method resulted in consistent detection (83-100 %) of C. cayetanensis, S. enterica, and MNV across all water types. Detection rates for the UNEX method ranged from 56 to 100 % prevalence for tap water and wash water, but there were no detections for any microbe from surface water. The PowerSoil method resulted in poor recovery of C. cayetanensis from sludge (≤1 % recovery), while both the PowerViral and UNEX methods effectively recovered C. cayetanensis from sludge (4-36 % recovery).

AB - The term "advanced adenoma" (AA) includes adenomas ≥1 cm, ones with villous histology or high-grade dysplasia (HGD), or polyps that may be heterogeneous for metachronous advanced neoplasia (AN) risk (AA and adenocarcinoma). We compared risk in individuals with 10- to 19-mm tubular adenomas (TAs) vs those with HGD, villous histology, and TAs ≥20 mm (modified AAs). AB - We used the New Hampshire Colonoscopy Registry to identify individuals having index colonoscopies and follow-up exams 12 months or longer. Outcomes were metachronous AN and subsequent colorectal cancer (CRC). Using Poisson loglinear and Cox proportional hazards models, we compared adjusted metachronous risk of AA and CRC between the 2 AA subgroups and those with lesser findings. AB - There were 35,941 adults stratified by index findings: Group 1: no adenomas (n = 20,857); Group 2: 1 to 2 small (<1 cm) TAs (n = 9927); Group 3: 3 to 10 small (<1 cm) TAs (n = 2124); Group 4: 10- to 19-mm TAs (n = 1492), and the modified AA group (Group 5) (n = 1541). Compared with Groups 1 to 3, Group 4 (rate ratio [RR], 3.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.99-4.50) and Group 5 (RR, 4.69; 95% CI, 3.82-5.77) had higher adjusted AN risk, with overlapping 95% CIs. However, when using the modified AA definition as an outcome, we observed that the modified AA group had a statistically significantly higher risk for metachronous modified AA than the large (10-19 mm) TA group (RR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.04-2.22). Compared with the low-risk groups (Groups 1-3), Group 4 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.44; 95% CI, 1.34-4.44) and Group 5 (HR, 3.52; 95% CI, 1.98-6.25) had higher HRs for CRC with overlapping CIs. AB - The modified AA groups had a statistically higher risk of a modified AN outcome and a numerically higher CRC risk than the 10- to 19-mm TA group. Future studies should validate these findings and extend them by examining differences in metachronous risk within the 10- to 19-mm TA group.

AB - In August 2024, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (U.S. MEC), which provides recommendations for safe use of contraception for women with certain characteristics and medical conditions. This paper provides a summary of the evidence and context for new and updated U.S. MEC recommendations. AB - The 2024 U.S. MEC was updated through a rigorous, multi-year process of determining priorities that would have high impact on clinical care, conducting systematic reviews of the evidence, and considering perspectives of health care providers and patients on how the evidence could best support updated recommendations. AB - New U.S. MEC recommendations were added for chronic kidney disease, specifically for three subconditions: current nephrotic syndrome, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis. Revisions were made to several existing recommendations, such as those for sickle cell disease, anticoagulant therapy use, various thrombogenic conditions, cirrhosis, liver tumors, solid organ transplantation, and intrauterine device placement in the postpartum period. Updated recommendations include those that reflect decreased safety concerns for some medical conditions (e.g., progestin-only contraception and some liver diseases) and increased safety concerns for others (e.g., combined hormonal contraception and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate for women with sickle cell disease). Recommendations for new contraceptive methods were added. AB - Evidence-based clinical guidelines can be used by health care providers to support patient-centered contraceptive counseling and services and remove unnecessary barriers to accessing and using contraception. Provider tools including a mobile app are available to help with implementation of the updated recommendations. AB - Keeping U.S. MEC up-to-date is critical for supporting contraceptive decision-making and improving access to contraception and reproductive health care. This includes new research to address current evidence gaps, rigorous methodology for continuous evidence identification and synthesis, state-of-the-art methods for guideline development, and a broad range of dissemination and implementation strategies.

AU - Fenton, Joshua J. AB - Opioid and benzodiazepine co-prescription is associated with overdose, particularly among patients prescribed long-term opioids. AB - Identify predictors of incident benzodiazepine and opioid co-prescription using two separate and complementary large-scale patient cohorts. AB - Two retrospective cohort studies: (a) statewide dataset based on California's prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP, 7/1/2016-12/1/2018) and (b) national sample of commercial and Medicare Advantage enrollees from the Optum Labs Data Warehouse (OLDW, 7/1/2016-12/1/2021). AB - Patients prescribed long-term opioids, with opioid coverage for ≥ 80% (≥ 144 days) of a 180-day baseline period absent baseline benzodiazepine or buprenorphine prescriptions. OLDW cohort excluded patients without continuous enrollment, with cancer diagnoses or use of hospice or prolonged inpatient skilled nursing care. AB - Incident benzodiazepine and opioid co-prescription (≥ 20 days of co-prescription during any 30-day period). AB - Of 617,946 and 223,885 patients, incidence rates of co-prescription were 4.6 and 3.9 cases per 1000 patient-months in the PDMP and OLDW cohorts, respectively. Important predictors included patients prescribed > 150 mg morphine equivalents daily during baseline (PDMP, adjusted hazard ratio: 1.74 [95% CI: 1.67-1.81]; OLDW: 2.66 [2.47-2.86]), and initiated buprenorphine indicated for treatment of opioid use disorder, with (PDMP: 1.68 [1.49-1.89]; OLDW: 2.10 [1.71-2.59]) or without continued treatment (PDMP: 1.35 [1.18-1.56]; OLDW: 1.64 [1.27-2.11]). Co-prescription was positively associated with short-term (60-day) decreases in opioid dose (PDMP: 1.07 [1.04-1.10]; OLDW: 1.06 [1.01-1.12]) but negatively associated with long-term (180-day) decreases (PDMP: 0.81 [0.78-0.85]; OLDW: 0.78 [0.73-0.84]). Patients with anxiety diagnoses were at elevated risk for co-prescription (OLDW: 2.16 [2.06-2.27]), although risk was lower if accompanied by treatment with serotonergic anxiolytics (0.63 [0.59-0.67]). AB - High baseline opioid dose, buprenorphine initiation, short-term decrease in opioid dose, and anxiety without prescriptions for serotonergic anxiolytics were positively associated with co-prescription. A longer-term decrease in opioid dose and anxiety treated with serotonergic anxiolytics were negatively associated with co-prescription.

AB - Using survey data representative of US K-12 public schools in 2022, the prevalence of 16 factors that influenced reporting school administrators' COVID-19 prevention strategy implementation decision-making (Wave 4; AB - = 399) and the presence and use of school EOPs (Wave 5; AB - = 400) are presented overall and by urban-rural classification, poverty level, and school level. Qualitative interviews were conducted with a subset of school administrators and used thematic analysis to understand factors influencing implementation of prevention strategies and emergency preparedness. AB - School district requirements or recommendations (81.6%) was the top reported factor influencing decisions on the use of COVID-19 prevention strategies. Although most schools created or updated their EOP during the 2021/2022 school year (78.1%), only 26.7% implemented or exercised an EOP during the COVID-19 pandemic. Themes from qualitative analysis focused on factors influencing the implementation of prevention strategies, limitations of current EOPs, and importance of continuous investment in school preparedness. AB - Investing in actions to improve schools' capacity to respond to emergencies such as developing comprehensive EOPs, building partnerships, and defining roles and responsibilities is important.

AB - Housing instability is a modifiable determinant of health outcomes among people with HIV. Reproductive-age women face unique challenges and are underrepresented in HIV research. We characterized housing status among reproductive-age women with and without HIV (WWH/WWoH) and evaluated its associations with health outcomes. AB - The Study of Treatment and Reproductive Outcomes (STAR) examines women ages 18-45 years with and without HIV in 6 Southern US sites. AB - We analyzed baseline data from March 2021-August 2023. We compared demographic, psychosocial, and clinical characteristics by HIV and housing status. We examined associations between housing status and health outcomes using logistic regression models, adjusting for age, race, socioeconomic status, depressive symptoms, and illicit drug use. AB - Among 759 women (473 with HIV, 286 without HIV), 64.4% had stable housing, 28.9% had dependent housing, and 6.9% had unstable housing. In adjusted models, unstably/dependently housed women were significantly less likely to attend a health care visit in the past year compared with stably housed women (OR 0.40, Cl: 0.18 to 0.90). Unstably/dependently housed WWH were significantly more likely to miss at least 1 HIV visit in the past year (OR 2.35, Cl: 1.02 to 5.41) and be virally nonsuppressed (OR 2.92, Cl: 1.08 to 7.87) than stably housed WWH. AB - Housing instability was associated with adverse health outcomes, even after adjusting for traditional sociodemographic and psychosocial risk factors. This emphasizes its role as a key health determinant that must be addressed. Further research to assess the potential pathways for this association will inform acceptable and scalable housing interventions to improve outcomes for reproductive-age women.

AU - Tsukerman, Kara AU - Williams, Letitia AU - Huber-Krum, Sarah AB - To examine the association between experiencing emotional or physical intimate partner violence (IPV) around the time of pregnancy and having a postpartum visit. AB - We conducted a secondary analysis of data from 2016 to 2021 from PRAMS (Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System), a population-based surveillance system that collects self-reported information about experiences before, during, and after pregnancy among women with a recent live birth. We used multivariable logistic regression to estimate the prevalence of experiencing emotional or physical IPV around the time of pregnancy and associations with having a postpartum visit. AB - In seven jurisdictions with information on emotional IPV (n=30,333), 3.3% (95% CI, 3.0-3.6) of women with a recent live birth reported experiencing any emotional violence 12 months before pregnancy, during pregnancy, or after pregnancy; for these women, the prevalence of having a postpartum visit was 91.4% (95% CI, 90.9-91.9). Any emotional IPV was associated with lower odds of having a postpartum visit (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.74; 95% CI, 0.55-0.99). In 48 jurisdictions with information on physical IPV (n=224,957), 3.3% (95% CI, 3.2-3.5) of women with a recent live birth reported physical violence 12 months before pregnancy or during pregnancy; for these women, the prevalence of having a postpartum visit was 90.2% (95% CI, 90.0-90.4). Any physical IPV was associated with lower odds of having a postpartum visit (aOR 0.63; 95% CI, 0.57-0.69). Among women who had a postpartum visit, 34.2% (95% CI, 29.0-39.0) of those who experienced emotional IPV and 35.1% (95% CI, 33.2-37.1) of those who experienced physical IPV were not asked about IPV by a health care professional during the visit. AB - Experiencing emotional or physical IPV around the time of pregnancy was associated with lower odds of having a postpartum visit. Conducting screenings at various encounters such as telehealth, pediatric visits, or home health visits and ensuring availability of standard protocols and trainings for IPV screening and referrals may increase support for and identification of women experiencing IPV.

AB - A descriptive qualitative design. AB - We recruited night shift nurses (N = 23) to provide feedback during virtual focus groups/interviews. Data collection occurred in the U.S. between March and June 2024. Participants were presented with sleep and fatigue topics derived from the literature. Focus group/interview data were collected and transcribed. Data were analysed using a hybrid deductive-inductive manifest content analysis with an a priori coding schema based on topics shared during data collection. Data not fitting the schema, yet informing content, were analysed inductively. AB - Three themes aligned with literature-derived topics. Theme 1, Why We Sleep and Why Should Nurses Care, explains the importance of sleep to health. Theme 2, Sleep Practices for Nurses to Support Health and Social Relationships, describes healthy strategies to promote sleep for enhanced quality of life. Theme 3, Fatigue and Work, illustrates the significance of nurse sleep and fatigue risk mitigation to safe working conditions and patient care. AB - Study findings highlight night shift nurses' interest in gaining evidence-based information to promote their sleep. Sleep education and training could fill a knowledge and skills gap, not often offered in school or workplace. AB - Identifying themes relevant to nurses may help increase the development and availability of sleep education and training currently tailored for nurses. AB - Study findings describe content night shift nurses' desire for sleep and fatigue training, serving as an important first step in developing programmes most relevant to shift-working nurses. Our analysis found the findings largely align with key components workers should receive in sleep education and training and reinforced the need for employers to offer such training. This study could benefit the nursing workforce and employers who expect rested, high-functioning nurses to care for patients. AB - Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research.

AU - Vadigepalli, Rajanikanth AB - We describe global microRNA (miRNA) changes in the central autonomic control circuits during the development of neurogenic hypertension. Using the female spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) and the normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY), we analyzed the dynamic miRNA expression changes in three brainstem regions-the nucleus of the solitary tract, caudal ventrolateral medulla, and rostral ventrolateral medulla-as a time series beginning at 8 wk of age before hypertension onset through to extended chronic hypertension. Our analysis yielded nine miRNAs that were significantly differentially regulated in all three regions between SHR and WKY over time. We collated computationally predicted gene targets of these nine miRNAs in pathways related to neuronal plasticity and autonomic regulation to construct a putative miRNA-target gene network involved in the development of neurogenic hypertension. We analyzed the dynamic correlations between the miRNAs and their putative targets to identify the regulatory interactions shifting between WKY and SHR. Comparing the results with previously published data in male SHR and WKY identified miRNA network dynamics specific to female SHR during hypertension development. Collectively, our results point to distinct rewiring of the miRNA regulatory networks governing angiotensin signaling and homeostasis, neuronal plasticity, and inflammatory processes contributing to the development of hypertension in female SHR. AB - Hypertension is the primary risk factor for cardiovascular complications and stroke. The microRNA expression changes in the central nervous system circuits driving hypertension development are understudied. Here, we show that microRNA-mediated regulatory networks are dynamically rewired during the development of high blood pressure phenotype by targeting key signaling pathways, neuronal plasticity, and inflammatory processes in a female rat model of human essential hypertension.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate compliance with mandated 3 time-point syphilis testing for pregnant women attending prenatal care, describe access to benzathine penicillin G (BPG) treatment, and assess receipt and use of Think Syphilis campaign materials in Maricopa County, AZ. AB - A facility-level cross-sectional survey was performed among prenatal care providers and clinical staff in 2022 to 2023. Responses from individual participants were applied to their facilities, including respective satellite offices within their corporations. AB - Responses from 42 distinct health care facilities were included, representing 104 outpatient obstetrician-gynecologist clinical settings. These facilities represented 232 delivering providers accounting for 33,196 live births, approximately 68.0% of all reported live births in Maricopa County for 2021. Of the 42, 41 (97.6%) reported use of syphilis screening policies for pregnant women. Reported compliance with performing prenatal syphilis testing was 78.6% (33 of 42) for syphilis at first prenatal care visit and 73.8% (31 of 42) during the third trimester. Among providers with first-hand knowledge of hospital-based screening practices, 76.5% (13 of 17) reported syphilis screening at delivery. Only 11.9% (5 of 42) reported on-site clinic-based administration of BPG; 71.4% (30 of 42) reported referring syphilis patients to an external site for treatment with BPG. Barriers to on-site treatment included cost and perception of syphilis as rare. The Maricopa County STI Clinic was the most reported treatment referral site by 90.5% (19 of 21) of respondents. Regarding the Think Syphilis campaign, 21.4% (9 of 42) confirmed receipt of campaign materials, and of these 77.8% (7 of 9) shared materials with office staff. AB - Reported performance of 3 time point syphilis testing for pregnant women attending prenatal care in Maricopa County is substantial. However, clinic-based barriers to on-site BPG administration exist. This survey afforded an opportunity to educate providers and clinic staff on maternal syphilis testing and treatment using the Think Syphilis campaign.

AU - Gold, Rachel AB - Food insecurity is associated with worse diabetes outcomes, but how that association may vary across individuals is unclear. We sought to better understand possible heterogeneity in the association between food insecurity and diabetes outcomes. AB - Longitudinal cohort study of adults with type 2 diabetes assessed for food insecurity in community-based health centres. Diabetes outcomes were haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), 12 months after food insecurity assessment. We used three machine learning methods (generalised random forest (GRF), X-Learner and Doubly Robust Learner) to assess outcome heterogeneity across the following variables: age, sex, race and ethnicity, health insurance, income, comorbidity, baseline outcome and social vulnerability index. AB - Among 41 581 individuals (mean age 56.2 (SD: 12.8) years, 56.9% female), mean baseline HbA1c was 7.8% (SD: 1.9%) and 10 399 (25.0%) reported food insecurity. Food insecurity was associated with 0.1% greater HbA1c at 12 months, with little heterogeneity. For example, using GRF, the mean difference in HbA1c in the quartile with the lowest estimated HbA1c difference associated with experiencing, versus not experiencing, food insecurity was 0.0%, while the mean difference in the quartile with the greatest estimated difference was 0.2%.

AB - Parental job loss has been associated with adverse mental health outcomes and child abuse. This study examines associations between student and parental/household adult (referred to as "parent" for brevity) job loss and these outcomes among US high school students during a period of high job loss-early in the COVID-19 pandemic. AB - Adolescent Behaviors and Experiences Survey (ABES) data from January to June 2021 were analyzed to obtain prevalence and adjusted prevalence ratios for select adverse mental health outcomes, short sleep, and emotional and physical abuse by a parent associated with student and parental employment status before and during the pandemic. The sample was composed of 7705 US high school students. AB - Over half of students (55.1%, 95% CI: 52.4%-57.8%) reported emotional abuse by a parent. Parental and student job loss were associated with adverse mental health outcomes and emotional abuse by a parent. However, only parental job loss was associated with physical abuse by a parent, which was reported by 15.3% of students (95% CI: 13.3-17.3). Students who lost a job during the pandemic reported a high prevalence of persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness (54.9%; 95% CI: 48.5-61.3) and poor mental health during the past 30 days (43.7%; 95% CI: 37.6-49.8). AB - The high levels of adverse mental health outcomes and child abuse associated with parental and student job loss highlight the need for better supports in this area. Identification of the causes and potential interventions related to child maltreatment in the context of household economic stress could help reduce the burden of negative outcomes.

AB - This study describes the distribution and administration of naloxone throughout one state heavily impacted by the opioid overdose crisis. We sought to: 1) assess whether naloxone kits were used in rescue attempts in the same communities where they were distributed, and 2) explore how best to define geographical boundaries for comparing naloxone supply to demand, accounting for naloxone mobility patterns to identify areas of surplus or shortage. AB - used data from Massachusetts' Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) programs for 2018-2020, linking participants' residence, overdose rescue attempt, and refill locations at the ZIP code level. We built a Sankey plot describing the distribution and administration of naloxone between OEND program regions based on refill encounters with a reported rescue attempt. We algorithmically derived "naloxone service areas (NSAs)," defined as collections of municipalities that receive naloxone from high-volume naloxone distribution hubs. For each NSA, we calculated a coverage ratio (naloxone kits dispensed per opioid-related overdose death). AB - From 2018-2020, the MA OEND programs had 88,085 naloxone dispensing encounters among 49,344 people. People reported a prior rescue attempt in 16 % of all observed encounters. There was substantial migration between residence and rescue attempt locations, with much naloxone distributed in Boston. The average naloxone dispensing-to-overdose death ratio was 14 kits per death over the three years, ranging from 8 to 32 kits per death across NSAs. AB - Naloxone kits are often used by people residing in communities other than where kits were distributed, with significant variation in coverage ratios across regions.

AU - Voss, Gerald AU - Muelen, Ajoke Sobanjo-Ter AB - Vaccination during pregnancy provides effective protection against pathogens that increase the risk of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality for mothers and their infants. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic demonstrated the need for the inclusion of pregnant and breast-feeding women in research and development of vaccines for emerging pathogens, such as Ebola, Zika, Lassa fever, Chikungunya, and influenza virus of pandemic potential. The COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) Maternal Immunization Working Group (MIWG), in collaboration with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation and the Safety Platform for Emergency Vaccines (CEPI-SPEAC) developed a standardized template with key considerations to guide the assessment of vaccines against emerging pathogens in pregnant and breast-feeding women. The aim of this tool is to enable key stakeholders to perform an early structured assessment of the overall potential benefit and risk for maternal immunization against an emerging pathogen. It can also be used to support risk management and pharmacovigilance planning, communication strategies, policy development, and acceptance of vaccination during pregnancy in future pandemics.

AB - To explore reasons for having firearms, plus firearms storage, training, and use, among firearm-exposed children aged 10-12, and evaluate parent-child agreement in reporting. AB - Survey research was conducted as part of a larger randomized trial. Children aged 10-12, all exposed to firearms and living in the Southeastern United States, and a parent were recruited from community sources. They independently responded to surveys via tablet about family demographics (parents) and firearms use, storage, and training (parents and children). Descriptive data were examined and parent-child comparisons made. AB - One hundred sixty-three parent-child dyads participated. Consistent with inclusion criteria, both parents (M=4.4, SD=5.1) and children (M=5.3, SD=11.9) reported high numbers of firearms in the home, with protection (82% parents; 73% children) the most common reason. Both parents (76%) and children (78%) reported children knew where some firearms were stored, but about half (parents 55%; children 41%) reported children were unaware of the storage location for all. Over half of parents (55%) and many children (30%) reported some firearms were kept unlocked. Most parents (81%) and children (73%) reported children had firearm safety training from adult family, but few (<10%) from community or online sources. Both parents (44% hunt; 68% shoot) and children (47%; 60%) reported children hunt and shoot at least annually, occasionally unsupervised. AB - Understanding how children engage with firearms guides effective prevention. Results reveal children regularly engage in hunting and shooting, occasionally unsupervised; children are sometimes unaware where firearms are stored in their own homes; and children rarely have formal firearms safety training.
