    Abstract Addressing negative vaccine sentiments is paramount to COVID-19 prevention efforts. However, assessing population sentiments is challenging due to the desirability bias that can emerge when directly asking respondents for their opinions on vaccination. Social media data, containing people's unfiltered thoughts, have the potential to offer valuable insights that could guide vaccine promotion messaging. We extracted one week's (4/5-4/11, 2020) worth of COVID-19 vaccine posts on Twitter (tweets) from the U.S. (N = 208,973) and segmented tweets with negative sentiments toward COVID-19 vaccines (n = 14,794). We imputed location based on Twitter users' self-reported state of residence. We found that states in the South had significantly higher prevalence of negative tweets compared to states in other parts of the country, and higher-income states reported lower prevalence of negative tweets. Our findings suggest the existence of negative vaccine sentiments and geographic variability in these opinions, warranting tailored vaccine promotion efforts, particularly for the southern U.S.

    Abstract Over 50% of pregnancies in slums are unintended, signifying unmet family planning (FP) needs. In Cameroon, about 60% of city dwellers live in slums where basic health services including FP is lacking. With an acute shortage of health personnel in Africa, community health workers (CHWs) can play a vital role in administering basic FP services. The Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services implemented a pilot project to reduce the unmet FP needs in urban slums through utilization of CHWs. We found that with adequate training and support, CHWs can successfully provide basic FP services in urban slums.

    Abstract Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a highly specified behavior change communication approach to improve patient-provider relationships, provider communication, and patient health outcomes. Because MI is built on a foundation of patient autonomy support, a feature known to positively influence behavior change during adolescence and emerging adulthood, MI is an evidence-based framework that can inform interventions targeting improvements in health outcomes among youth. MI can be difficult to implement with adequate fidelity, because learning MI requires time and commitment from busy providers with competing priorities. This review addresses best practices for implementing MI within adolescent serving medical settings (eg, pediatrics, family practices, rural health clinics, community health organizations, and so forth), including an orientation to MI, examples of efficacious interventions that were developed leveraging MI, and consideration for the design of training programs that include ongoing support to maximize the likelihood of sustainment.

    Abstract Background: Newer antiretrivirals (ART) have shifted the metabolic experiences of people with HIV (PWH) from those of wasting syndrome to increases in body mass index (BMI). This study sought to examine the relationship between BMI and ART use among youth with HIV (YWH).
    Methods: Charts from YWH ages 10-24 with at least two documented BMIs at least 6 months apart between 2017 and 2020 were included (N = 44). Statistical analyses were conducted in SAS 9.4.
    Results: Clients were predominately African American (66%) males (73%) aged 19-24 years (64%), with men having sex with men (48%) being the most common mode of transmission. YWH on non-integrase inhibitor (INSTI) regimens had greater absolute increases in BMI compared to those on INSTI regimens (p = 0.03). Fourteen percent of clients using INSTI experienced an increase in BMI class from normal to overweight or overweight to obese; no non-INSTI users changed BMI class. Time since diagnosis and BMI change due to weight gain were positively associated (p = 0.03) among behaviorally-acquired YWH.
    Conclusions: Increasing BMI and changing BMI classes may be more likely among YWH using INSTI. More longitudinal studies inclusive of diet and exercise profiles are needed to understand the relationship between INSTI and YWH BMI.

    Abstract Background: SARS-CoV-2 transmission risk generally increases with the proximity of those shedding the virus to those susceptible to infection. Thus, this risk is a function of both the number of people and the area they occupy. However, the latter continues to evade the COVID-19 testing policy.
    Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze per capita COVID-19 testing data reported for Alabama to evaluate whether testing realignment along population density, rather than density agnostic per capita, would be more effective.
    Methods: Descriptive statistical analyses were performed for population, density, COVID-19 tests administered, and positive cases for all 67 Alabama counties.
    Results: Tests reported per capita appeared to suggest widespread statewide testing. However, there was little correlation (
    Conclusions: Increased testing in areas with lower population density has the potential to induce a false sense of security even as cases continue to rise sharply overall.

    Abstract Stigma is one of the most harmful forces affecting population health. When stigma exists in clinical settings, environments that should be pro-patient and stigma-free, stigma may become internalized and affect patients' well-being. Informed by prior stigma research and the Intergroup Contact Theory, the authors elucidate statistical relationships between patients' perceptions of clinic-based stigma and stigma's impact on health among New York City's diverse residents. The authors hypothesize that perceiving stigma in clinical settings would mediate the relationships between depression, general health, diabetes, and hypertension; they tested this through multiple logistic regressions conducted on pooled data from the New York City Community Health Survey (

    Abstract Gaps in knowledge remain related to understanding missed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) visits and youth with HIV (YWH). This study examined data from an Alabama academic HIV clinic with clients aged 16 to 24 years old and found that non virally suppressed and older YWH were associated with missed visits among YWH.
