    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether an online, on-demand, and publicly accessible mental health training session on care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and all sexual-diverse and gender-diverse (LGBTQ+) individuals could improve providers' preparedness, attitudes, and knowledge regarding care for LGBTQ+ patients.
    Methods: Between January and June 2022, participating mental health providers completed the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Development of Clinical Skills Scale (LGBT-DOCSS) before and after training.
    Results: Participants (N=322) represented various mental health specialties and all U.S. regions. LGBT-DOCSS scores significantly increased after training: for overall LGBT-DOCSS, Cohen's d=0.77 (p<0.001); for clinical preparedness, Cohen's d=0.68 (p<0.001); for attitudinal awareness, Cohen's d=0.14 (p=0.014); and for basic knowledge, Cohen's d=0.62 (p<0.001).
    Conclusions: Although participating mental health providers had improvements in the parameters assessed, small but notable gaps in their LGBTQ+ health awareness and practice remained, suggesting that LGBTQ+ education requires motivated, longitudinal, ongoing, and lifelong learning approaches.

    Abstract Vaccination is one of the most effective strategies to control the spread of COVID-19 and reduce morbidity and mortality; however, rapid and equitable vaccine distribution is required to achieve such outcomes. We conducted a basic interrupted time-series analysis to examine the short-term impacts of a citywide vaccine equity plan, the Protect Chicago Plus (PCP) plan. We compared vaccine coverage in zip codes in Chicago with high COVID-19 vulnerability, as identified from the Chicago COVID-19 Community Vulnerability Index, with coverage in all other zip codes in Chicago. From our analysis, we observed that implementation of PCP coincided with reduced vaccination disparities between Chicago communities with low and high vulnerability indexes over time. In our analysis of vaccination coverage before program implementation, vaccination coverage climbed nearly twice as fast among non-PCP zip codes (0.19% per day) than among PCP zip codes (0.10% per day) or by 0.09 percentage points (

    Abstract The availability of the COVID-19 vaccine in the US created an urgent need for strategies to achieve widespread vaccine distribution, but approaches to achieving equitable distribution, including reaching communities of color, varied across the country. To add to the knowledge base around targeted vaccine roll-out among underserved communities, the current study presents results from patient vaccination data and staff interviews conducted at Sinai Chicago, a safety-net healthcare system serving under-resourced communities. A total of 11,313 patients received at least one dose of Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine between January and October 2021 at a Sinai Chicago facility. The sample was primarily comprised of Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black persons, with a mean age of 47 years, and was split evenly between female and male individuals. Compared to non-Hispanic White persons, Hispanic persons were 1.4 times more likely to have completed the full course of vaccination, while non-Hispanic Black persons were 40% less likely. People ages 18-24 were less likely to be fully vaccinated compared to all other adult age groups. Compared to privately insured persons, publicly insured persons were 40% less likely to have been fully vaccinated. The vaccine roll-out approach focused on educating the community through town halls and targeted messaging to address common myths and misconceptions about the vaccine, as well as developing the necessary infrastructure to administer the vaccine in a variety of community settings. This study illustrates COVID-19 vaccine roll-out in an under-resourced urban area in Chicago and provides insight on future implementation of vaccine intervention in hard to reach communities.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate indicators of potentially hazardous alcohol use among older adults living in a region with high substance use stigma.
    Methods: Patients at a university-affiliated geriatrics clinic in the Deep South of theUS completed behavioral health screenings including self-reported alcohol use, symptoms of depression or anxiety, and cognitive functioning between 2018 and 2022.
    Results: Participants (
    Conclusion: Self-reported alcohol use is low in geriatric primary care in the Deep South, US, differs by race/ethnicity, and is predictive of cognitive impairment when alcohol use is hazardous. Issues of trust and stigma may play a role in self-report ofstigmatized behaviors.
    Clinical implications: Self-reported alcohol intake must be considered within the cultural context of regional stigma. Recommendations to address this are provided.

    Abstract Background: Severe obesity is a complex, chronic disease affecting nearly 9% of adolescents in the U.S. Although the current mainstay of treatment is lifestyle therapy, pediatric clinical practice guidelines recommend the addition of adjunct anti-obesity medication (AOM), such as phentermine and topiramate. However, guidance regarding when adjunct AOM should be started and how AOM should be used is unclear. Furthermore, an inherent limitation of current treatment guidelines is their "one-size-fits-all" approach, which does not account for the heterogeneous nature of obesity and high degree of patient variability in response to all interventions.
    Methods: This paper describes the study design and methods of a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART), "SMART Use of Medications for the Treatment of Adolescent Severe Obesity." The trial will examine 1) when to start AOM (specifically phentermine) in adolescents who are not responding to lifestyle therapy and 2) how to modify AOM when there is a sub-optimal response to the initial pharmacological intervention (specifically, for phentermine non-responders, is it better to add topiramate to phentermine or switch to topiramate monotherapy). Critically, participant characteristics that may differentially affect response to treatment will be assessed and evaluated as potential moderators of intervention efficacy.
    Conclusion: Data from this study will be used to inform the development of an adaptive intervention for the treatment of adolescent severe obesity that includes empirically-derived decision rules regarding when and how to use AOM. Future research will test this adaptive intervention against standard "one-size-fits-all" treatments.

    Abstract Introduction: HIV incidence remains high in the U.S. as do disparities in new HIV diagnosis between White and Black populations and access to preventive therapies like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The federal Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative was developed to prioritize resources to 50 jurisdictions with high HIV incidence.
    Methods: We conducted secondary analyses of data (2013-2019) from the CDC, Census Bureau, and AIDSVu to evaluate the correlation between PrEP use, HIV incidence, and HIV incidence disparities. We compared the PrEP-to-need ratio (PnR) with the ratio of Black and White HIV incidence rates in 46 EHE counties. Subsequent analyses were performed for the seven states that contained multiple EHE counties.
    Results: These 46 counties represented 25.9% of the U.S. population in 2019. HIV incidence ranged from 10.5 in Sacramento County, CA, to 59.6 in Fulton County, GA (per 100,000). HIV incidence disparity ranged from 1.5 in Orleans Parish, LA, to 12.1 in Montgomery County, MD. PnR ranged from 26.8 in New York County, NY, to 1.46 in Shelby County, TN. Change in HIV incidence disparities and percent change in PnR were not significantly correlated (ρ = 0.06, p = 0.69). Change in overall HIV incidence was significantly correlated with increase in PnR (ρ = -0.42, p = 0.004).
    Conclusions: PrEP has the potential to significantly decrease HIV incidence; however, this benefit has not been conferred equally. Within EHE priority counties, we found significant HIV incidence disparities between White and Black populations. PrEP has decreased overall HIV incidence, but does not appear to have decreased HIV incidence disparity.

    Abstract Millions of Americans have been infected with COVID-19 and communities of color have been disproportionately burdened. We investigated the relationship between demographic characteristics and COVID-19 positivity, and comorbidities and severe COVID-19 illness (use of mechanical ventilation and length of stay) within a racial/ethnic minority population. Patients tested for COVID-19 between March 2020 and January 2021 (N = 14171) were 49.9% (n = 7072) female; 50.1% (n = 7104) non-Hispanic Black; 33.2% (n = 4698) Hispanic; and 23.6% (n = 3348) aged 65+. Overall COVID-19 positivity was 16.1% (n = 2286). Compared to females, males were 1.1 times more likely to test positive (p = 0.014). Compared to non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic persons were 1.4 (p = 0.003) and 2.4 (p<0.001) times more likely, respectively, to test positive. Compared to persons ages 18-24, the odds of testing positive were statistically significantly higher for every age group except 25-34, and those aged 65+ were 2.8 times more likely to test positive (p<0.001). Adjusted for race, sex, and age, COVID-positive patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were 1.9 times more likely to require a ventilator compared to those without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.001). Length of stay was not statistically significantly associated with any of the comorbidity variables. Our findings emphasize the importance of documenting COVID-19 disparities in marginalized populations.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to report on the development of neuroinvasive West Nile virus (WNV) infection in the context of anti-CD20 monotherapy for multiple sclerosis (MS).
    Methods: This is a case series study.
    Results: In 2021-2022, we observed 4 cases of neuroinvasive WNV infection in our patient population of 2009 patients with MS on ocrelizumab, compared with a total of 46 cases of neuroinvasive WNV infection reported in Pennsylvania and 40 in New Jersey. Odds were 258 times that of the general population (95% confidence interval 97-691), χ
    Discussion: Neuroinvasive WNV infection can develop with anti-CD20 monotherapy in the absence of additional immunosuppression. WNV serologies may be negative in the setting of anti-CD20 treatment; in the appropriate clinical context, one should consider direct detection methods such as PCR or mNGS-based testing.
