To estimate the alcohol-attributable fraction (AAF) for suicide in the United States. Methods. Using restricted-access data from the National Violent Death Reporting System for 2021, we estimated the sex-specific AAF for suicide, among those 15 years of age and older, by sociodemographic characteristics and suicide means. An alcohol-attributable suicide was defined as that for which the decedent had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10 grams per deciliter or higher. Results. In 2021, the AAF for suicide for males (20.2%) was significantly higher than that for females (17.8%; P < .001). The AAF for suicide was higher for both males and females who used a firearm as the means of suicide (23.4% and 22.8%, respectively) compared with their counterparts who used other means (16.5% and 15.9%, respectively). Conclusions. Despite some variation, AAFs for suicide were consistently high, with about 1 in 5 suicides being attributable to alcohol use. Therefore, suicide prevention initiatives in the United States should also target excessive alcohol use.

To determine if de facto postpartum Medicaid extension during the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) reduced immigrant versus US-born inequities in uninsurance. Methods. We assessed self-reported uninsurance at 2 to 6 months postpartum among people with Medicaid-paid births using the New York City Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), comparing immigrant and US-born people. We created a pre-FFCRA cohort of 2611 births from 2016 to 2019 and a post-FFCRA implementation cohort of 1197 births from 2020 to 2021. We calculated risk differences using log binomial regression. Results. Self-reported postpartum uninsurance among immigrants decreased from 13.6% to 9.3% after FFCRA (adjusted risk difference = -4.9%; 95% confidence interval = -7.8%, -2.0%). Immigrant versus US-born inequities in postpartum uninsurance decreased except among Hispanic birthing people, among whom 1 in 6 reported they were uninsured during FFCRA, despite continued eligibility. Conclusions. De facto postpartum Medicaid extension decreased immigrant inequities in insurance coverage, but Hispanic immigrants may have been unaware of continued coverage. Public Health Implications. Postpartum Medicaid extension policies that are inclusive of all immigrants may decrease inequities, but community-integrated implementation is needed to raise awareness of coverage and advance postpartum maternal health equity.

To assess relationships between changes in population levels, health care access, health care grievances, and mortality in California prisons. Methods. We examined 30 California prisons using June 2013 to May 2023 data from California Correctional Health Care Services and the California Department of Justice. Associations between prison occupancy rates and care access, health care grievances, and mortality were estimated in linear or generalized linear models controlling for staff vacancies and the characteristics of incarcerated people. Because of the prevalence of COVID-19-specific dynamics in prisons in 2020-2021, baseline models included data up to December 2019; data from January 2022 through May 2023 were added as a robustness check. Results. Reductions in prison occupancy rates were associated with increased access to care. Associations were more pronounced when postpandemic data were added. However, decreasing occupancy rates were not associated with declines in health care grievances or mortality. Conclusions. Lowering prison occupancy rates could help ensure better access to care, but it is not a panacea for alleviating varied health-related problems and dangers inside carceral facilities.

To examine whether the state-level LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other identities) legal protections where LGBT+ youths and young adults reside are associated with cigarette and e-cigarette use. Methods. We drew LGBT+ respondents (aged 15-31 years; n = 1255) from a national, probability-based survey conducted from August to December 2023. We scored each state for LGBT+ equality on a scale from restrictive to protective based on the Movement Advancement Project's 2023 policy environment. Using weighted logistic regression models, we examined the relationship between current (past 30-day) cigarette and e-cigarette use and state LGBT+ equality protections, controlling for demographics and state tobacco control expenditure. Results. LGBT+ individuals in protective policy states had 65% lower odds (odds ratio [OR] = 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.16, 0.78) of current cigarette use, and 56% lower odds (OR = 0.44; 95% CI = 0.25, 0.79) of current e-cigarette use compared with those in restrictive policy states. Conclusions. LGBT+ individuals living in protective policy environments had lower odds of current cigarette and e-cigarette use, consistent with theoretical relationships between stress, discrimination, and harmful health behaviors. Public Health Implications. Protective policies may alleviate tobacco use disparities among the LGBT+ community. (Am J Public Health.

To develop a national, tract-level measure of neighborhood housing quality and test its validity by examining associations with population health metrics. Methods. Using microdata from the 2021 American Housing Survey postfit to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey, we developed the Housing Quality Metric (HQM), which predicts the likelihood that a US census tract contains a large share of poor-quality housing units across 3 domains: physical inadequacy, housing cost burden, and poor neighborhood perception. We then used regression models to assess the ecological association between HQM and area-level measures of adult population health (fair or poor general health, poor mental health, and poor physical health) from the PLACES data set. Results. Census tract HQM score was significantly associated with a higher predicted proportion of adults self-reporting all 3 examined negative health status outcomes in both unadjusted and adjusted models. Conclusions. HQM presents the first national, tract-level measure of poor housing quality that has significant associations with adult population health status. Public Health Implications. HQM can be used to target resources and interventions in ways that may better capture the complex relationship between housing quality and population health than existing measures of housing quality.
