Reports of forgone medical care among US adults during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This survey measured the frequency of foregone medical care due to COVID-19 from March to mid-July 2020. Johns Hopkins created the COVID-19 Civic Life and Public Health Survey wave 1, with 1468 individuals completing the survey. The sample of respondents were 52% women, 63% non-Hispanic White, 12% Black, and 17% Hispanic. The mean age of respondents was 48 years. A total of 41% of respondents forwent medical care during the March to mid-July time period. Among the 1055 individuals who reported needing care, 52% reported forgoing care for any reason, 29% forwent care owing to fear of COVID-19 transmission, and 7% forwent care owing to financial concerns associated with the pandemic. Respondents lacking any health insurance were more likely to forgo care than respondents with Medicare or commercial insurance.

Access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis in practice settings: a qualitative study of sexual and gender minority adults' perspectives.
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations remain at disproportionate risk of HIV infection. Despite the effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in preventing HIV, PrEP uptake has been slow. The objective of this study was to identify barriers and facilitators of PrEP access by examining SGM patients' experiences with accessing health care systems and engaging with providers about PrEP in a variety of practice settings.
