RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: This article explores the stages where trauma is experienced (123s) and its physiopsychological impact (affect, behavior, and cognitions [ABCs]) in unaccompanied Latinx Minors through the analysis of a composite case study. Unaccompanied Latinx Minors represent a unique and growing population in the United States that warrants careful consideration from a trauma-informed and resilience-based framework. METHOD: A detailed case study was implemented, triangulating caregiver and client therapy records to illustrate the framework of stages of trauma exposure (123s) and physiopsychological impact (ABCs). RESULTS: Latinx children often encounter various potentially traumatic experiences and adverse childhood experiences at the following stages (123s): (1) Preimmigration; (2) During immigration; and (3) Postimmigration. The extended traumas experienced by immigrant youth may easily constitute toxic stress. Moreover, once in the destination country, youth may lack coping resources or encounter stressful circumstances that prolong or exacerbate the impact of previous traumas. This continuous physiological hyperarousal can also result in changes in brain neurobiology, which further compounds the experience of other symptoms (Krupnik, 2021). These potentially complex trauma responses may manifest for these children through ABCs. The cumulative impact of these incidents may have significant effects on minors' A. Affective, B. Behavioral, and C. Cognitive functioning. CONCLUSIONS: Relevant clinical implications and policy recommendations for addressing the multifaceted needs of unaccompanied Latinx minors.

RESUMEN

Youth and young adults (YYA) with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have high rates of co-occurring mental health (MH) conditions. The time during transition from pediatric to adult health and mental health care can be a very challenging, with risk of loss of services leading to poor outcomes. This study aimed to explore barriers to transition from pediatric to adult health and mental health care and services for individuals with IDD and co-occurring MH conditions, by eliciting the view of stakeholders, including disability advocates. Qualitative analysis was conducted using grounded theory, and themes were coded based upon the social-ecological model (SEM). We generated themes into multiple levels: the individual level, the family level, the provider level, the systems of care level, and the societal level. Stakeholders expressed a critical need to improve coordination between systems, and to increase provider availability to care for YYA with IDD and co-occurring MH conditions.

RESUMEN

Children in the child welfare system have greater rates of obesity and are more prone to overweight/obesity as adults compared to other children. There is limited research on how ecological, biological and developmental factors impact the trajectory of overweight/obesity in this group. This retrospective study examined these factors among children entering the child welfare system. Overweight/obesity was highest among children 12-18 years. Children with diagnoses indicative of poor nutrition, and limiting exercise, were more likely to be overweight/obese. Ecological risks often were not disclosed. Barriers to obtaining information to address overweight/obesity reflect challenges to addressing chronic disease more broadly.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: As a means to provide safety for a population at great risk of harm through abandonment, every state in the United States now has laws and practices for the safe relinquishment of newborns and infants. However, there is no national database tracking the population of infants surrendered through such programmes, and few states monitor these numbers. The primary aim of this study was therefore to examine the descriptive characteristics of infants who have been safely surrendered in a large, socio-economically diverse urban area. The secondary aim was to compare them with local population norms to determine whether differences exist and to begin exploring what implications such differences may have for the treatment provided to these infants. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among safely surrendered infants. RESULTS: Over half of the infants had medical issues, and the majority of the infants were surrendered in communities characterized by low median income. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary information highlights potential economic, social, and medical risk factors, suggesting that these infants may require increased monitoring and/or specialized care.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Care transitions between clinicians or settings are often fragmented and marked by adverse events. To increase patient safety and deliver more efficient and effective health care, new ways to optimize these transitions need to be identified. A study was conducted to delineate facilitators and barriers to implementation of transitional care services at health systems that may have been adopted or adapted from published evidence-based models. METHODS: From March 2015 through December 2015, site visits were conducted across the United States at 22 health care organizations-community hospitals, academic medical centers, integrated health systems, and broader community partnerships. At each site, direct observation and document review were conducted, as were semistructured interviews with a total of 810 participants (5 to 57 participants per site) representing various stakeholder groups, including management and leadership, transitional care team members, internal stakeholders, community partners, patients, and family caregivers. RESULTS: Facilitators of effective care transitions included collaborating within and beyond the organization, tailoring care to patients and caregivers, and generating buy-in among staff. Commonly reported barriers included poor integration of transitional care services, unmet patient or caregiver needs, underutilized services, and lack of physician buy-in. CONCLUSION: True community partnership, high-quality communication, patient and family engagement, and ongoing evaluation and adaptation of transitional care strategies are ultimately needed to facilitate effective care transitions. Health care organizations can strategically prioritize transitional care service delivery through staffing decisions, by making transitional care part of the organization's formal board agenda, and by incentivizing excellence in providing transitional care services.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: There is a continuing need to identify factors associated with risk for HIV transmission among men who have sex with men (MSM), including a need for further research in the ongoing scientific debate about the association of internalised homophobia and sexual risk due partly to the lack of specificity in analysis. We assess the association of internalised homophobia by race/ethnicity within HIV serostatus for a large sample of substance-using MSM at high risk of HIV acquisition or transmission. METHODS: Convenience sample of substance-using (non-injection) MSM reporting unprotected anal sex in the prior 6 months residing in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco. The analytic sample included HIV-negative and HIV-positive black (n=391), Latino (n=220), and white (n=458) MSM. Internalised homophobia was assessed using a published four-item scale focusing on negative self-perceptions and feelings of their own sexual behaviour with men, or for being gay or bisexual. Analyses tested associations of internalised homophobia with recent risk behaviour, stratified by laboratory-confirmed HIV serostatus within race/ethnicity, and controlling for other demographic variables. RESULTS: In multivariate analysis, internalised homophobia was inversely associated (p<0.05) with recent unprotected anal sex among black MSM, and not significantly associated with sexual risk behaviour among white and Latino MSM. CONCLUSIONS: More research is needed to further identify nuanced differences in subpopulations of MSM, but these results suggest differentially targeted intervention messages for MSM by race/ethnicity.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Grief and loss are common experiences for children and adolescents, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educators feel unprepared to support grieving students due to lack of training. We studied educator experiences receiving grief-sensitive training as part of the grief-sensitive schools initiative (GSSI), which provides grief-sensitive training, online video-based and print resources, and a financial grant to schools and school districts for use in supporting grieving students. METHODS: Fourteen New York and Florida educators who received GSSI training participated in small focus groups or semi-structured interviews on their experiences receiving GSSI training and supporting grieving students during the pandemic. Transcripts were analyzed using grounded-theory analysis. RESULTS: Emergent themes included increased confidence engaging grieving students, the desire for recurring trainings, the value of receiving training from an expert on pediatric grief and loss and the opportunity to ask questions, the need for grief-sensitive training to reflect the cultural diversity of school communities, the unique losses experienced by students during the pandemic, and compassion fatigue and burnout in educators. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Policymakers should recognize the effects of grief on students' learning and development and collaborate with educators to develop resources. CONCLUSIONS: Educators found GSSI training useful in supporting grieving students, particularly during the pandemic.

RESUMEN

We analyzed data from a large randomized HIV/HCV prevention intervention trial with young injection drug users (IDUs) conducted in five U.S. cities. The trial compared a peer education intervention (PEI) with a time-matched, attention control group. Applying categorical latent variable analysis (mixture modeling) to baseline injection risk behavior data, we identified four distinct classes of injection-related HIV/HCV risk: low risk, non-syringe equipment-sharing, moderate-risk syringe-sharing, and high-risk syringe-sharing. The trial participation rate did not vary across classes. We conducted a latent transition analysis using trial baseline and 6-month follow-up data, to test the effect of the intervention on transitions to the low-risk class at follow-up. Adjusting for gender, age, and race/ethnicity, a significant intervention effect was found only for the high-risk class. Young IDU who exhibited high-risk behavior at baseline were 90% more likely to be in the low-risk class at follow-up after the PEI intervention, compared to the control group.

RESUMEN

The role men who have sex with men and women (MSMW) play in heterosexual HIV transmission is not well understood. We analyzed baseline data from Project MIX, a behavioral intervention study of substance-using men who have sex with men (MSM), and identified correlates of unprotected vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, or both with women (UVAI). Approximately 10 % (n = 194) of the men reported vaginal sex, anal sex, or both with a woman; of these substance-using MSMW, 66 % (129) reported UVAI. Among substance-using MSMW, multivariate analyses found unemployment relative to full/part-time employment (OR = 2.28; 95 % CI 1.01, 5.17), having a primary female partner relative to no primary female partner (OR = 3.44; CI 1.4, 8.46), and higher levels of treatment optimism (OR = 1.73; 95 % CI 1.18, 2.54) increased odds of UVAI. Strong feelings of connection to a same-race gay community (OR = 0.71; 95 % CI 0.56, 0.91) and Viagra use (OR = 0.31; 95 % CI 0.10, 0.95) decreased odds of UVAI. This work suggests that although the proportion of substance-using MSM who also have sex with women is low, these men engage in unprotected sex with women, particularly with primary female partners. This work highlights the need for further research with the substance using MSMW population to inform HIV prevention interventions specifically for MSMW.

RESUMEN

Health care transition is an expanding field of health care practice and research focused on facilitating adolescents and emerging adults with long-term conditions to transfer uninterruptedly from pediatric to adult health care services and to transition successfully into adulthood and beyond. There is a widespread need to develop and implement service models as approximately one million adolescents and emerging adults with long-term conditions transfer their care into the adult system and enter adulthood. The purpose of this article is to explore major issues associated with the current state of health care transition practice, research and ultimately policymaking and systems change. The prominent issues addressed in this article include the following. Defining clearly what constitutes models of health care transition practice as ambiguity exists with terminology used with concepts integral to health care transition. The indistinct meanings of health care transition terminology commonly used, such as transition, transfer, readiness, and preparation, need to be operationalized for widespread application. Furthermore, questions remain as to what goal-directed outcomes are expected within this field of practice and science.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Spina bifida (SB) is a condition resulting from the improper closure of the neural tube and vertebral column during fetal development. While patients' life expectancy and quality of life have improved dramatically due to medical advances, children continue to experience health-related issues that often require hospitalizations. OBJECTIVE: The association among sociodemographic and clinical characteristics with potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPH) in children and youth with myelomeningocele type SB was investigated in this cross-sectional study. METHODS: Chart reviews and data extraction were conducted on 108 children and youth, ages 1 month to 21 years, admitted for PPH in a regional children's academic medical center between May 2017 and July 2019. Sociodemographic variables included sex, age, type of insurance and ethnicity. Clinical variables included level of lesion, ambulation status, shunt dependency and selected diagnostic categories. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with PPH. RESULTS: Factors associated with PPH included being male, ages 5-18 years, low lumbar level lesions, non-ambulatory, with public insurance, Hispanic and shunt dependent. Most hospitalizations (73%) were for neurologic or urologic conditions. Factors independently associated with PPH were ethnicity for urologic conditions, being ambulatory for metabolic conditions, and age for gastroenterology conditions. CONCLUSION: Selected demographic and clinical variables were found to be associated with PPH of children and youth with myelomeningocele-type SB. The most common reasons for PPH were shunt malfunctions and urinary tract infections, consistent with other studies.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The purpose was to identify the educational needs of pediatric nurses and pediatric nurse practitioners providing direct care to transition-aged youth with chronic illness and disability and to identify strategies to develop health care transition planning (HCTP) expertise. METHOD: Mixed-methods descriptive analyses were performed on survey data extracted from a larger national study exploring the provision of HCTP activities performed by nurses of two pediatric nursing professional organizations. RESULTS: Items querying educational needs were completed by 1,162 pediatric nurses serving in advanced practice and staff roles. Twenty percent reported having specialized HCTP education. Of which more than half received it outside of the workplace. Factor analysis revealed two constructs explaining 73.4% of the variance in nurses' reported level of knowledge. DISCUSSION: HCTP education and the development of nurse-led services to facilitate optimal health care transitions outcomes are necessitated. Academia and service have a shared responsibility in educating nurses.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the types of academic and health-related accommodations provided to adolescents and emerging adults with spina bifida aged 9-20 years. METHODS: Data were extracted from the paper and electronic records of transition-age youth enrolled in the study. Four open ended items involved content analysis. RESULTS: The most frequently identified accommodation was enrollment in special education classes in 47.7% of the charts. Other academic accommodations that were most often reported were adaptive physical education (n = 71, 39.9%), tutoring (n = 28; 15.7%), and home schooling (n = 21; 11.8%). Clean intermittent catheterization was the most frequently identified health-related accommodation provided by the school nurse/aide (n = 57; 32%).The largest percentage of requests for additional accommodations were made during the middle school grades (15; 54.8%) followed by high school (10; 32.2%). CONCLUSION: Findings demonstrated that persistent issues were identified by parents/adolescents regarding the provision of school-related accommodations. This is a relevant area for clinical practice to ensure students with special health care needs and those with spina bifida receive the academic and health-related accommodations in their Individualized Education Program/504 plans.

RESUMEN

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand individual-, social-, and system-level factors that affect compliance with recommended diabetic retinopathy (DR)-evaluations, and how these factors vary between English and Spanish speakers. Patients and Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. Study subjects included Kaiser Permanente Southern California members with type II diabetes mellitus at least aged 26 years who spoke English or Spanish. Patients were divided into groups based on their adherence with DR evaluations. Our main outcome measure was the major themes expressed by patients that explained their compliance with DR evaluation. Results: Fifty-one participants were enrolled: 30 English speakers (11 nonadherent, 19 adherent) and 21 Spanish speakers (8 nonadherent, 13 adherent). Adherent patients were more likely to have had experience with diabetes and identify as being responsible for their own care. Substantially more non-adherent patients suggested that beliefs and attitudes were the reasons people missed retinopathy appointments. More English-speaking participants tended to be self-directed in managing their healthcare, whereas more Spanish speakers relied on others for help. English speakers also noted better relationships with their physicians. Spanish speakers outlined problems with insurance coverage and costs as barriers. Conclusion: These data suggest two specific intervention strategies that eye care providers could implement to improve adherence with diabetic retinopathy screening and follow up: incorporating a person with DR-related visual loss into the team of staff delivering diabetes support programs and communication campaigns including specific messaging to address fears related to vision loss.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND. In studies of hepatitis C virus (HCV) seroconversion in injection drug users (IDUs), some have questioned whether underreporting of syringe sharing, a stigmatized behavior, has led to misattribution of HCV risk to other injection-related behaviors. METHODS. IDUs aged 15-30 years who were seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus and HCV antibodies were recruited into a prospective study in 5 US cities. Behavioral data were collected via computer-assisted self-interviewing to reduce socially desirable reporting. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated to assess associations between behavior and HCV seroconversion. Because the shared use of cookers, cottons, and rinse water was highly correlated, a summary variable was created to represent drug preparation equipment sharing. RESULTS. Among 483 IDUs who injected during the period covered by the follow-up assessments, the incidence of HCV infection was 17.2 cases per 100 person years; no HIV seroconversions occurred. Adjusting for confounders, the shared use of drug preparation equipment was significantly associated with HCV seroconversion (adjusted HR, 2.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-23.92), but syringe sharing was not (adjusted HR, 0.91). We estimated that 37% of HCV seroconversions in IDUs were due to the sharing of drug preparation equipment. CONCLUSIONS. Associations between sharing drug preparation equipment and HCV seroconversion are not attributable to underascertainment of syringe sharing. Avoiding HCV infection will require substantial reductions in exposure to all sources of contaminated blood.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this scoping review is to explore the extent to which self-management of youth and young adults with special health care needs is reported in the health care transition literature. INTRODUCTION: It is essential for youth and young adults with special health care needs to learn the self-management skills, to the extent possible, that are essential in maintaining the stability of their chronic condition to seamlessly transfer to adult care and live independently. Acquisition of self-management competencies for chronic care management is an essential component of health care transition preparation. INCLUSION CRITERIA: The inclusion criteria will be based upon age and condition designation. The age range of participants will include youth and young adults, aged nine to 35 years, who have special health care needs. Inclusion criteria consists of both non-categorical and diagnostic specific terminology for youth and young adults with a childhood acquired chronic condition. Non-categorical terms used include "long-term chronic condition," "special health care needs," "medical complex condition," "complex care needs," "developmental disability," "intellectual disability," "mental health condition," "emotional disabilities," "physical disabilities," "chronic illness," and "chronic condition." METHODS: The following databases will be accessed for this health care transition scoping review: CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Web of Science. Relevant gray literature will be accessed as well. The Covidence software platform will be used to review citations and full-text articles. Two reviewers will independently review abstracts and full texts of studies, and extract data using the data extraction tool. Any conflicts will be resolved with a third reviewer. Review findings will be presented in tabular format and narrative synthesis based upon the scoping review objective.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Substance use during sex is associated with sexual risk behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM), and MSM continue to be the group at highest risk for incident HIV in the United States. The objective of this study is to test the efficacy of a group-based, cognitive-behavioral intervention to reduce risk behavior of substance-using MSM, compared to a randomized attention-control group and a nonrandomized standard HIV-testing group. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Participants (n = 1,686) were enrolled in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco and randomized to a cognitive-behavioral intervention or attention-control comparison. The nonrandomized group received standard HIV counseling and testing. Intervention group participants received six 2-h group sessions focused on reducing substance use and sexual risk behavior. Attention-control group participants received six 2-h group sessions of videos and discussion of MSM community issues unrelated to substance use, sexual risk, and HIV/AIDS. All three groups received HIV counseling and testing at baseline. The sample reported high-risk behavior during the past 3 mo prior to their baseline visit: 67% reported unprotected anal sex, and 77% reported substance use during their most recent anal sex encounter with a nonprimary partner. The three groups significantly (p<0.05) reduced risk behavior (e.g., unprotected anal sex reduced by 32% at 12-mo follow-up), but were not different (p>0.05) from each other at 3-, 6-, and 12-mo follow-up. Outcomes for the 2-arm comparisons were not significantly different at 12-mo follow-up (e.g., unprotected anal sex, odds ratio = 1.14, confidence interval = 0.86-1.51), nor at earlier time points. Similar results were found for each outcome variable in both 2- and 3-arm comparisons. CONCLUSIONS: These results for reducing sexual risk behavior of substance-using MSM are consistent with results of intervention trials for other populations, which collectively suggest critical challenges for the field of HIV behavioral interventions. Several mechanisms may contribute to statistically indistinguishable reductions in risk outcomes by trial group. More explicit debate is needed in the behavioral intervention field about appropriate scientific designs and methods. As HIV prevention increasingly competes for behavior-change attention alongside other "chronic" diseases and mental health issues, new approaches may better resonate with at-risk groups.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to assess whether participation in needle exchange programs (NEPs) influenced incident hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection through effects on injection risk behaviors among young injection drug users (IDUs) in the United States. METHODS: Data were drawn from three multi-site studies carried out in four major cities that enrolled IDUs over the period 1994-2004. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess relationships among sociodemographic characteristics, NEP use, injection risk behaviors, and prevalent or incident HCV infection. RESULTS: Of the total participants (n=4663), HCV seroprevalence was 37%; among those who initially tested negative and completed follow-up at three, six, or 12 months (n=1288), 12% seroconverted. Nearly half of participants reported NEP (46%) use at baseline. Multivariate results showed no significant relationship between NEP use and HCV seroconversion. Controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, IDUs reporting NEP use were significantly less likely to share needles (aOR=0.77, 95% CI=0.67-0.88). Additionally, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and program use, sharing needles, sharing other injection paraphernalia, longer injection duration, and injecting daily were all positively related to prevalent infection. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest an indirect protective effect of NEP use on HCV infection by reducing risk behavior.

RESUMEN

This study sought to explore the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and receptive syringe sharing (RSS) among young female injection drug users (IDUs) and to examine mediating variables. Cross-sectional behavioral assessments were completed by 797 female IDUs in five U.S. cities who reported having at least one main sexual partner in the past three months. Linear regression was used to estimate direct and mediated effects. The product of coefficients method was used to statistically evaluate mediation. Respondents were predominantly white (70%) and mean age was 23 years. Sixty percent reported RSS in the past three months and 33% reported IPV in the past year. The association between IPV and RSS was independently mediated by self-esteem and depression, but not by self-efficacy for safer drug injection. Findings suggest that interventions focused on improving victimized women's self-esteem and depression may help mitigate some of the negative health effects of IPV.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Describe the career and work environment of pediatric program directors (PDs) and associated factors, including salary disparities and long-term career plans. METHODS: A national, anonymous, electronic survey was sent to all categorical residency PD members of the Association of Pediatric Program Directors. Surveys assessed PD demographics, characteristics of the residency program and PD positions (including salary), and measures of satisfaction. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to analyze results. RESULTS: A total of 149 PDs (74%) responded. Significantly more men earned $250,000 or more annually (26.9% vs 6.1% of women), and gender remained a significant independent predictor of salary after controlling for age, academic rank, and subspecialty. Satisfaction was high for most measures, although 20% or more reported low satisfaction with pay (38.9%), administrative workload (32.1%), managing accreditation and expectations of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (31.9%), resources (27.9%), work/life balance (24.1%), and being valued by administration (20.0%). Only 34.3% saw the PD position as an end goal, and 29.5% stated they would be in their current position in 5 years. Satisfaction with the PD career, with faculty relationships, with resident performance, and with administrative workload was associated with plans to remain. CONCLUSIONS: Most pediatric program directors did not view the position of PD as their long-term career goal, and many identified administrative duties and work/life balance as contributing to significant dissatisfaction. Without changes to address these issues, PD turnover may be high, with potential negative implications for the success of training programs.
