Mashup Score: 2Effectiveness of CBT-Informed Behavioral Health Interventions for Health Care Workers in a Specialized Clinical Service During the COVID-19 Pandemic - 2 month(s) ago
Objectives. To evaluate symptomatology and clinical outcomes among treatment-seeking health care workers (HCWs). We examined engagement, presenting symptomatology, and treatment outcomes among a diverse group of HCWs in a large urban health system. Methods. Demographic and pretreatment–posttreatment outcome data were available for 69 HCWs who sought cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with or without medication management, at a specialized clinical center from July 1, 2020, to April 25, 2022. Results. Treatment-seeking HWCs predominantly identified as female (78.3%) and non-White (53.6%) and had a mean age of 36.33 ± 10.72 years. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests showed significant reductions in all symptoms and increased well-being (P < .001), with effect sizes ranging from 0.59 to 0.71. Conclusions. Our findings replicate those of existing research on the prevalence of psychiatric distress among HCWs, uniquely focusing on those seeking care. Our outcome data suggest that short-term CBT is e

Mashup Score: 1Grassroots and Digital Outreach Strategies Raise Awareness of COVID-19 Information and Research in Baltimore City - 3 month(s) ago
We aimed to disseminate reliable COVID-19 information to the Black and Latino communities of Baltimore City, Maryland, between July 2020 and December 2022. With community partners, we disseminated evidence-based COVID-19 information via grassroots and digital strategies, including Hopkins Opportunity for Participant Engagement, and connected volunteers to COVID-19 research. Using a multimodal approach facilitated dissemination of reliable information and raised awareness of research; evaluation of trust is ongoing. Robust, multimodal strategies are needed to foster trust and equity among diverse communities. (Am J Public Health. 2024;114(S1):S69–S73. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2023.307492)

Mashup Score: 19Training Community Leaders to Serve as Equal Partners in Research: Penn Community Scholars Program, 2015–2023 - 3 month(s) ago
An implementation and effectiveness evaluation of the Community Scholars Program was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania to enhance community capacity to collaborate with academics in mutually beneficial, equitable, and transformative research. Mixed methods were employed using administrative data, surveys, and key informant interviews. Participants expressed high satisfaction, valued interactive learning, and identified areas for improvement. The program increased knowledge and self-confidence in research-related skills and trust in the research process. The program serves as an institutional model to create long-term, mutually beneficial community–academic partnerships. (Am J Public Health.

Mashup Score: 5
Objectives. To assess the risk of COVID-19 by occupation and industry in the United States. Methods. Using the 2020–2021 National Health Interview Survey, we estimated the risk of having had a diagnosis of COVID-19 by workers’ industry and occupation, with and without adjustment for confounders. We also examined COVID-19 period prevalence by the number of workers in a household. Results. Relative to workers in other industries and occupations, those in the industry “health care and social assistance” (adjusted prevalence ratio = 1.23; 95% confidence interval = 1.11, 1.37), or in the occupations “health practitioners and technical,” “health care support,” or “protective services” had elevated risks of COVID-19. However, compared with nonworkers, workers in 12 of 21 industries and 11 of 23 occupations (e.g., manufacturing, food preparation, and sales) were at elevated risk. COVID-19 prevalence rose with each additional worker in a household. Conclusions. Workers in several industries and
