    Abstract Introduction: Efforts to address vaccine uptake and access among black adults will be relevant for continued coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) eradication efforts and can be transferable to other prevention efforts in future pandemics. This study investigated factors related to COVID-19 vaccine uptake and access among black residents in Allegheny County, PA.
    Methods: Surveys were administered electronically from October 2021 to January 2022 to black Allegheny County residents aged 18 and older. Questions included thoughts on COVID mitigation strategies (e.g., masking, social distancing), vaccination status, intention to vaccinate children, trust of COVID-19 information sources and vaccines, family needs, access to support services, and social media use to access information. Descriptive statistics and significant correlates of being vaccinated using adjusted logistic regression models are reported.
    Results: Of the overall sample (
    Conclusion: Vaccine hesitancy may be improved by directly addressing fear of illness resulting from vaccines and improving clarity in the vaccine development and approval process to improve uptake among black adults.

    Abstract Background: Despite limited data on neighborhood factors and health risk in Caribbean populations, previous analyses from Jamaica have shown that neighborhood and home disorder were associated with lower physical activity and higher cumulative biological risk among women, while poorer neighborhood infrastructure was associated with higher overweight/obesity among men.
    Design: Cross-sectional survey design.
    Objectives: In this study, we explored whether community stressors, as measured by community violence, victimization and neighborhood disorder scores, were associated with cardiometabolic outcomes (obesity, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol) in urban Jamaican communities. Sex-specific Poisson regression models were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) for these associations, adjusting for age, education, diet, physical activity and smoking.
    Participants: Of the 849 participants (M = 282;
    Results: We observed significant associations only for those in the middle tertile of neighborhood disorder with prevalence of higher cholesterol [PR:1.72 (1.20 to 2.47)] in women and lower prevalence of obesity [PR:0.24 (0.10 to 0.53)] in men.
    Conclusion: Results suggest that higher, but not the highest level of neighborhood disorder was associated with higher cholesterol levels in women and lower obesity in men. Future work will explore additional approaches to measuring neighborhood characteristics in Jamaica and the mechanisms that may underlie any relationships that are identified.
