    Abstract Objective: We examine factors associated with changes in posttraumatic stress symptoms for children following completion of an early and brief, trauma-focused mental health treatment that engages children together with their caregivers, with the child as the identified patient.
    Method: The Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI), a brief (5-8 session) trauma-focused mental health treatment designed to reduce trauma symptoms in the aftermath of traumatic experiences in children aged 7 years and older. CFTSI has been widely disseminated in Child Advocacy Centers (CAC) and community treatment clinics nationally. We report on results of a naturalistic treatment study of CFTSI implementation without a comparison group that includes 1190 child caregiver dyads from 13 community-based clinical settings.
    Results: Mixed modeling revealed a significant reduction in child reported posttraumatic stress scores from pre to post-CFTSI. Scores on the Child Posttraumatic Checklist (CPSS) declined an average of 8.74 points from pre to post-CFTSI (p < .0001). There were no statistically significant differences in CPSS score changes based on age, gender, ethnicity, race, number of prior trauma types the child had experienced, caregiver posttraumatic stress symptoms, child relationship to the perpetrator, nature of event or length of time to begin treatment.
    Conclusion: This study provides further evidence that CFTSI can reduce child posttraumatic stress symptoms when implemented by community-based providers.

    Abstract Objective: Injuries account for a large portion of the global burden of disease, representing over 10% of all disability adjusted life years (DALYs). This study analyzes the economic impact of injury for those experiencing moderate-to-severe injury in Beirut, Lebanon. It further examines the impact of different demographic and socioeconomic factors on trauma-specific quality of life 1-2 years following injury.
    Methods: This was a prospective cohort study following patients 1-2 years after being treated for injury at one of three hospitals in Beirut, Lebanon. Patients interviewed by phone. In addition to questions on financial impact, access to healthcare, and socioeconomic status, the Trauma-specific Quality of Life (TQoL) Questionnaire was used to assess quality of life following injury. Multivariable linear models were constructed to examine TQoL and demographics among institutes.
    Results: 116 patients completed interviews. The average out-of-pocket cost of injury was 2975.42 USD, 65% of which was borrowed. 21% of people lost employment due to injury. Patients at Geitawi Hospital and the Rafic Hariri Governmental Hospital borrowed more on average and had higher reductions in employment than patients at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC). There was a loss of income for those employed at the time of injury, with a mean monthly loss of 261.6 USD. The economic impact of injury was 10,329.00 USD. 25% of patients reported difficulty with accessing follow-up care, predominantly due to cost. Mean-adjusted Trauma-specific Quality of life (TQoL) was highest at AUBMC. Education was associated with functional recovery in the TQoL questionnaire; for every additional year of education there was an increase in the functional recovery domain of 0.03.
    Conclusion: Individuals that experienced moderate-to-severe injury in Beirut, Lebanon, suffered financial repercussions, including reductions in income, less employment, or unemployment. Across all patients surveyed, higher level of education was associated with better functional quality of life. More study into the intricacies of accessing healthcare care in Lebanon, especially given the current economic and political climate, are crucial to maintain the health of those experiencing injury and can help inform targeted interventions.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the Healthy Eating through Group Well-Child Care (GWCC) intervention, a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and primary care partnership which seeks to promote responsive feeding practices among low-income caregivers, by examining its impact on infant growth and exploring the experiences of caregivers who participated in this intervention.
    Methods: Using a difference-in-differences approach, we examined change in weight-for-length among infants in GWCC before versus after implementation of the intervention compared with infants in individual well-child care (IWCC) over the same time-period. In parallel, we conducted semi-structured interviews in English and Spanish with caregivers who participated in the intervention to explore their perspectives and analyzed transcripts via the constant comparative method to identify salient themes.
    Results: Using electronic health record data from 279 GWCC and 6134 IWCC participants, we found no significant difference in first-year weight-for-length trajectory associated with participation in the intervention. We reached thematic saturation after 19 interviews with 22 caregivers and identified four major themes around feeding: 1) structural barriers limit access to healthy foods through WIC, 2) conflicting sources of nutrition advice challenge parental decision making, 3) exposure to novel foods facilitated further experimentation with healthier foods, and 4) discussion of responsive feeding facilitated awareness and adoption.
    Conclusions: A primary care and WIC partnership to promote responsive feeding in the context of GWCC was well received by caregivers but was not associated with improved weight-for-length among infants. Structural barriers to implementing responsive feeding and healthy eating practices may have impacted lack of measurable results from the intervention.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the reliability, agreement with provider measurement, and patient preferences regarding patient self-measurement of postvoid residual bladder volume (PVR). PVR measurement in the nonhealthcare setting is a valuable opportunity for remote monitoring of voiding dysfunction patients. We hypothesized that patient self-measurement of PVR using a smart-device portable ultrasound system with artificial intelligence would demonstrate high reliability, strong agreement with provider measurement, and be preferred over provider measurements.
    Methods: Patients were enrolled during outpatient Urology visits. PVRs were measured in triplicate by providers using each of the following: an FDA-cleared (standard) bladder scanner, the portable ultrasound probe using ultrasound images (Butterfly US image mode), and the portable ultrasound probe using abstract images (Butterfly abstract mode). Subjects self-measured PVRs in triplicate using both imaging modes and reported their experiences via questionnaire. Reliability was assessed via intraclass correlation. Agreement between methods was assessed via Bland-Altman analyses using a clinically acceptable difference threshold of 50 mL.
    Results: Fifty patients were enrolled. Intraclass correlations ranged from 0.95 to 0.98 for each method. 95% limits of agreement between standard bladder scanner and patient self-measurement were - 71.73 mL and 86.73 mL using Butterfly US image mode and - 93.84 mL and 112.52 mL using Butterfly abstract mode, respectively. Most patients preferred self-measurement over provider measurement (74% vs 26%, respectively).
    Conclusion: Patient self-measurement of PVR using smart-device integrated portable ultrasound probes is feasible, reliable, and preferred by patients. Limits of agreement between patient self-measurement and standard bladder scanner measurements exceeded our clinically acceptable difference threshold, though the inherent error of ultrasound-based bladder volume measurements should be considered. Longitudinal PVR assessments in nonhealthcare settings may facilitate remote monitoring of voiding dysfunction patients.

    Abstract Background: Emergency physicians express concern administering a 30-cc/kg fluid bolus to septic shock patients with pre-existing congestive heart failure (CHF), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), or obesity, due to the perceived risk of precipitating a fluid overload state.
    Objective: Our aim was to determine whether there is a difference in fluid administration to septic shock patients with these pre-existing conditions in the emergency department (ED). Secondary objectives focused on whether compliance impacts mortality, need for intubation, and length of stay.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of 470,558 ED patient encounters at a single urban academic center during a 5-year period.
    Results: Of 847 patients with septic shock, 308 (36.36%) had no pre-existing condition and 199 (23.49%), 17 (2.01%), and 154 (18.18%) had the single pre-existing condition of CHF, ESRD, and obesity, respectively, and 169 (19.95%) had multiple pre-existing conditions. Weight-based fluid compliance was achieved in 460 patients (54.31%). There was a lower likelihood of compliance among patients with CHF (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.24-0.52; p < 0.001), ESRD (aOR 0.11, 95% CI 0.04-0.32; p < 0.001), and obesity (aOR 0.29, 95% CI 0.19-0.44; p < 0.001) compared with patients with no pre-existing conditions. Compliance decreased further in patients with multiple pre-existing conditions (aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.33-0.72; p < 0.001). Compliance was not associated with mortality in patients with CHF and ESRD, but was protective in patients with obesity and those with no pre-existing conditions.
    Conclusions: Septic shock patients with pre-existing CHF, ESRD, or obesity are less likely to achieve compliance with a 30-cc/kg weight-based fluid goal compared with those without these pre-existing conditions.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess changes in weight-related health behaviors and social determinants of health (SDoH) among youth with overweight/obesity during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: We assessed weight-related health behaviors (physical activity, screen time, sleep, and diet) and SDoH (food insecurity, income/childcare, and caregivers' perceived stress) before vs. during the pandemic with a survey administered August–October 2020 to caregivers of 2–17-year olds and adolescents 13–17 years old with BMI ≥85th percentile seen in clinic within 6 months prepandemic. We analyzed changes in continuous variables using paired t-tests and categorical variables with McNemar's or Fisher's exact tests, and the influence of social determinants on behavior change using multivariable regression models. Results: A total of 129 caregivers and 34 adolescents completed surveys. Compared with prepandemic, caregivers reported youth decreased moderate/vigorous physical activity (−87.4 [205.7] minutes/week, p < 0.001) and increased recreational screen time (2.5 [2.1] hours/day, p < 0.001). Fewer had regular bedtimes (before: 89% and during: 44%, p < 0.001) and more ate most meals with television (before: 16% and during: 36%, p < 0.001). Food insecurity increased from 27% to 43% (p < 0.001), 45% reported reduced household income, and caregivers with moderate/high perceived stress scale scores increased from 43% to 64% (p < 0.001). Moderate/high caregiver stress and food insecurity were associated with greater magnitudes of adverse behavior change. Conclusion: Alarming changes in health behaviors among youth with overweight/obesity, particularly among those with stressed caregivers and food insecurity, may increase prevalence of obesity-related comorbidities and exacerbate health disparities. There is an urgent need to expand access to effective interventions for overweight/obesity that address psychosocial stressors.

    Abstract Introduction: There are persistent gaps in screening, identification, and access to care for common mental disorders in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. An initial step towards reducing this gap is identifying the prevalence, co-morbidities, and context of these disorders in different clinical settings and exploring opportunities for intervention. This study evaluates the prevalence and correlates of depression and substance use disorders among adults presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) of a major national hospital in East Africa.
    Methods: This study utilized the World Health Organization's STEPwise Approach to Surveillance (WHO-STEPS) tool and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to conduct a cross-sectional survey capturing socio-demographic data, tobacco, and alcohol use and rates of depression in a sample of adults presenting to the ED. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted for each outcome of interest and socio-demographics.
    Results: Of 734 respondents, 298 (40.6%) had a PHQ-9 score in the "moderate" to "severe" range indicative of major depressive disorder. About 17% of respondents endorsed current tobacco use while about 30% reported being daily alcohol users. Those with high PHQ-9 score had higher odds of reporting current tobacco use ("severe range" = adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.85, 95% CI 1.05, 3.26). Those with a "severe" PHQ-9 scores were 9 times (aOR 2.3-35.3) more likely to be daily drinkers.
    Conclusions: Screening and identification of people with depression and substance use disorders in the ED of a large national hospital in Kenya is feasible. This offers an opportunity for brief intervention and referral to further treatment.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to examine the extent to which Bright Bodies, a high-intensity, family-based pediatric weight management intervention, improved BMI for participants since publication of the randomized controlled trial establishing efficacy in 2007 and to describe adaptations to the program.
    Methods: For participants enrolled from 2008 to 2018, linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate monthly change in BMI expressed as percentage of the 95th percentile (%BMIp95) during participants' first beginner-level program.
    Results: The sample included 396 youth individuals (mean age: 11.7  [SD 2.8] years, 61.6% female, 37.1% non-Hispanic Black, 26.3% Hispanic or Latino, 53.8% with public insurance, 80.1% with severe obesity). Across the 11 years, participants' %BMIp95 reduced on average by 1.63% (95% CI: 1.44%-1.82%) per month during their first program (mean duration: 10 weeks) after adjusting for age, sex, season and year, starting %BMIp95, race and ethnicity, and insurance category. Greater reduction in %BMIp95 was associated with male versus female sex, spring/fall versus winter seasons, enrollment in 2008 to 2018 versus 2015 to 2018, and higher starting %BMIp95 (p value for all <0.001). Adaptations since 2007 included pragmatic changes to increase engagement and address funding shortages.
    Conclusions: These results suggest sustained clinical effectiveness of Bright Bodies in the context of real-world adaptations.

    Abstract Importance: Alcohol use disorders have a high disease burden among US Latino groups. In this population, health disparities persist, and high-risk drinking has been increasing. Effective bilingual and culturally adapted brief interventions are needed to identify and reduce disease burden.
    Objective: To compare the effectiveness of an automated bilingual computerized alcohol screening and intervention (AB-CASI) digital health tool with standard care for the reduction of alcohol consumption among US adult Latino emergency department (ED) patients with unhealthy drinking.
    Design, setting, and participants: This bilingual unblinded parallel-group randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of AB-CASI vs standard care among 840 self-identified adult Latino ED patients with unhealthy drinking (representing the full spectrum of unhealthy drinking). The study was conducted from October 29, 2014, to May 1, 2020, at the ED of a large urban community tertiary care center in the northeastern US that was verified as a level II trauma center by the American College of Surgeons. Data were analyzed from May 14, 2020, to November 24, 2020.
    Intervention: Patients randomized to the intervention group received AB-CASI, which included alcohol screening and a structured interactive brief negotiated interview in their preferred language (English or Spanish) while in the ED. Patients randomized to the standard care group received standard emergency medical care, including an informational sheet with recommended primary care follow-up.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was the self-reported number of binge drinking episodes within the last 28 days, assessed by the timeline followback method at 12 months after randomization.
    Results: Among 840 self-identified adult Latino ED patients (mean [SD] age, 36.2 [11.2] years; 433 [51.5%] male; and 697 [83.0%] of Puerto Rican descent), 418 were randomized to the AB-CASI group and 422 to the standard care group. A total of 443 patients (52.7%) chose Spanish as their preferred language at enrollment. At 12 months, the number of binge drinking episodes within the last 28 days was significantly lower in those receiving AB-CASI (3.2; 95% CI, 2.7-3.8) vs standard care (4.0; 95% CI, 3.4-4.7; relative difference [RD], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.64-0.99). Alcohol-related adverse health behaviors and consequences were similar between groups. The effect of AB-CASI was modified by age; at 12 months, the relative reduction in the number of binge drinking episodes within the last 28 days in the AB-CASI vs standard care group was 30% in participants older than 25 years (RD, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.54-0.89) compared with an increase of 40% in participants 25 years or younger (RD, 1.40; 95% CI, 0.85-2.31; P = .01 for interaction).
    Conclusions and relevance: In this study, US adult Latino ED patients who received AB-CASI had a significant reduction in the number of binge drinking episodes within the last 28 days at 12 months after randomization. These findings suggest that AB-CASI is a viable brief intervention that overcomes known procedural barriers to ED screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment and directly addresses alcohol-related health disparities.
