We describe the demographic and geographical distribution of naloxone by NYC opioid overdose prevention programs (OOPPs; the primary distributor of naloxone to laypersons in NYC) as OEND was expanded in NYC. We developed and examined a measure of high-need naloxone distribution defined by OEND in a high-priority neighborhood, to a high-need population, or from a high-priority OOPP (i.e., syringe services programs, criminal legal-related programs, programs for unhoused people, substance use disorder treatment programs, etc.).

For people living with HIV (PWH), including gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), social support networks serve additional purposes in the self-management of HIV care and psychosocial health. Given the broad-reaching effects of the pandemic, characterizing its impact on specific dimensions of social support networks remains a prime area of investigation. We used egocentric social network data from an on-going longitudinal study of GBMSM with HIV, living in New York City (NYC), to examine changes in the structural, interactional, and functional characteristics of their social support networks from pre- to post-start of the pandemic. We analyzed data from 146 GBMSM who reported a total of 164 social support network members. We found that the average size of social support member networks increased over time, of which 57% and 25% provided companionship and confidant support, respectively. Follow-up questions about how often guidance, tangible, and emotional support was provided (if needed) suggest the quality of support decreased over time. At follow-up, nearly half (49%) of network members were friends, the vast majority (89%) were aware of GBMSM's HIV status, and most (74%) were also living within NYC.

The current study sought to evaluate the associations between overt and subtle discrimination, mental health, and substance misuse outcomes among Black women. Data were drawn from ESSENCE, a retrospective cohort study (2013-2018) on sexual assault and HIV risk among Black women attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics in Baltimore, Maryland (n = 199). Multivariable Poisson regression models tested the associations between overt and subtle discrimination, depressive and PTSD symptoms, and substance misuse while controlling for covariates. Nearly half (42.2%) of participants reported depressive symptoms, and over a third reported severe PTSD symptoms (35.2%). Higher levels of subtle discrimination were associated with increased risk of depressive symptoms (adjusted relative risk [aRR] = 1.32, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.16, 1.50, p < .0001), whereas higher levels of overt discrimination were associated with increased risk of severe PTSD symptoms (aRR = 1.22, 95% CI [1.02, 1.46], p = .0287). Neither overt nor subtle discrimination was significantly associated with hazardous alcohol use or daily marijuana use in adjusted models.

In this study, we test the differential effects of less-lethal weapons on civilian injury and injury severity using data on 2348 use-of-force incidents originating from 17 large urban and metropolitan law enforcement agencies from 2015 to 2019. Specifically, we assess the injury risks associated with conducted energy devices, chemical agents, impact weapons, and police canines, while controlling for a robust set of officer, civilian, and situational characteristics. Our results indicate that chemical agents reduce the risk of hospitalization or death significantly more than other weapon types, while police canines increase the risk of all injury outcomes significantly more than other weapon types. Adjusting for incident characteristics, chemical agents are predicted to cause hospitalization or death in 4% of cases, compared to 13% for conducted energy devices, 16% for impact weapons, and 37% for police canines.

This rapid review synthesizes research from the past five years on the health impacts of extreme heat for PEH in high-income countries. A total of 11 studies were identified through a systematic search of multiple databases, focusing on publications from 2019 to 2024. The review highlights key vulnerability factors, including demographic characteristics, pre-existing health conditions, and geographic disparities, that increase heat-related health risks for PEH. Physical health impacts, such as heat-related morbidity and mortality, are common, alongside mental health and substance use disorders exacerbated by heat exposure. The review also highlights a significant increase in emergency department visits among PEH during heat events, emphasizing the additional burden on healthcare systems. Barriers, including limited physical and social access to cooling centers, water insecurity, and stigma, further compound these challenges. Addressing the unique vulnerabilities of PEH is crucial to reducing their risks during extreme heat events. Improving housing access and stability is essential as a long-term strategy to decrease homelessness and reduce heat stress in this vulnerable population. The review also underscores the need for inclusive interventions such as accessible cooling centers with targeted programming, regular access to water, and tailored healthcare services to meet the needs of PEH. Future research should focus on long-term studies to assess potential cumulative heat exposure effects and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at mitigating extreme heat impacts on PEH, while applying an intersectionality lens to explore how factors like race, gender, and age shape vulnerabilities and potential intervention strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":49964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Health-Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"305-331"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12031682/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
