Behav Med. 2023 Aug 14:1-10. doi: 10.1080/08964289.2023.2244626. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged against a backdrop of long-standing racial inequities that contributed to significant disparities in COVID-19 mortality, morbidity, and eventually, vaccination rates. COVID-19 also converged with two social crises: anti-Black racism and community and police violence. The goal of this study was to examine the associations between community violence, police violence, anti-Black racism, and COVID-19 vaccination. Survey data were collected from a sample of 538 Black residents of Chicago between ...

Mental Health and Substance Misuse Indicators Associated with First-Time Homelessness among a Community Sample of Sexual and Gender Minority Adults
Behav Med. 2023 Aug 8:1-5. doi: 10.1080/08964289.2023.2241105. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHomelessness is a priority public health issue in the United States (U.S.) given its strong associations with multiple adverse health outcomes. While overall rates of homelessness have decreased over the last decade, some populations-such as sexual and gender minorities-have not seen equitable decreases. The present study explores the relationship between experiences of first-time homelessness with substance misuse (assessed via the DAST-10) and depression and anxiety (assessed via the PHQ-4) in an adult sample of SGM individuals i...

The Association between Neighborhood Walkability and Physical Activity in a Behavioral Weight Loss Trial Testing the Addition of Remotely Delivered Feedback Messages to Self-Monitoring
We report adjusted linear regression coefficients (b) with standard errors (SE). The analysis included participants who were primarily white, female, and with obesity. In adjusted models, neighborhood walkability did not moderate the effect of treatment assignment on log-transformed (ln) MVPA or steps count over 12 months. The SM + FB group had greater lnMVPA than the SM group, but lnMVPA and steps were similar between walkability groups. There were no significant interactions for group and time or group, time, and walkability. These findings suggest that adding FB to SM had a small but significant positive impact on PA ov...

Discrimination and Abuse Among Healthcare Workers from Patients and their Relatives at a Tertiary Hospital in Kenya
Behav Med. 2023 Jul 25:1-8. doi: 10.1080/08964289.2023.2238104. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiscrimination and abuse of healthcare workers (HCWs) by patients and their relatives remains a pressing and prevalent problem in various healthcare settings, negatively affecting professional outcomes. Despite this, little has been reported about discrimination and abuse in many low- and middle-income countries such as Kenya. We conducted a cross-sectional survey study between May - August 2021 among healthcare workers at a hospital in Kenya. Email invitations were sent, and the survey was in English, and the data was collected t...
