Police exposures and the health and well-being of Black youth in the us: a systematic review.
This systematic review examined the literature describing the impact of policing on the well-being of Black youth 26 years and younger. A total of 16 quantitative studies including 19,493 participants were included in the review. An association between police exposure and adverse mental health, sexual risk behaviors and substance use was found. A total of 13 qualitative studies including 461 participants were also included in the review, which corroborated and contextualized the quantitative evidence and provided additional health outcomes, such as fear for life and hopelessness.

Evaluating psychometric determinants of willingness to adopt sexual health patient portal services among black college students: a mixed-methods approach.
The authors used mixed methods to describe perceptions of access to sexually transmitted infection test results via electronic personal health record (PHR) and correlates of willingness to adopt its use. Three qualitative themes emerged on relative advantages, barriers, and functionality of PHRs. Reliable latent factors, centering on PHR convenience and functionality, were positively associated with adoption willingness. Adoption may be boosted with tailored designs responsive to expressed service needs.

Digital technology to address HIV and other sexually transmitted infection disparities: intentions to disclose online personal health records to sex partners among students at a historically Black college.
Among an online survey sample of co-ed students, the authors described latent constructs and other variables associated with perceived behavioral intentions to disclose sexually transmitted infection (STI) test history using patient portals. They found that latent constructs representing communication valuation beliefs and practices were not associated with intentions, while self-reporting prior STI diagnosis was associated with intentions to disclose. They concluded that point-of-care messages focused on improvements to validating test results, communication, and empowerment, may be an effective strategy to support the adoption of patient portals for STI prevention among populations of college-aged Black youth.

Prescription opioid use in a population-based sample of young black men who have sex with men: a longitudinal cohort study.
This study鈥檚 aim was to examine the prevalence and both individual and network characteristics of prescription opioid use (POU) among young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM). A total of 514 YBMSM ages 16-29 in Chicago were surveyed from 2013 to 2016. Approximately 4.2% YBMSM reported POU in the past 12 months. Young men with a criminal history, experiencing violence, or using any illicit drug other than marijuana in the past 12 months, or engaging in condomless anal sex with their named sexual partners were more likely to report POU. The presence of a mother figure was associated with a decreased risk of POU.

"I'm not white, I have to be pretty and skinny": a qualitative exploration of body image and eating disorders among Asian American women.
The authors examined the relationships between body image, eating disorders, and treatment-seeking motivations among Asian American women ages 18-24. Using focus groups, they developed a model to be utilized by practitioners or clinicians to help obtain a better understanding of the societal, interpersonal, and intrapersonal forces that may shape conceptualizations about body image and eating behaviors among Asian American women. In addition, findings from this study can be incorporated into prevention programs and interventions that focus on mental health among this population.

A longitudinal examination of factors associated with network bridging among YMSM: implications for HIV prevention.
In this study, the investigators examined the link between social-environmental factors, network composition and HIV risk among a city-population based sample of young Black men who have sex with Men (YBMSM). The investigators found that bridging (i.e. having non-redundant contacts in one's network, indicating network instability) was associated with adverse social-environmental factors and higher HIV risk, indicating that bridging may be on the explanatory pathway.

The Affordable Care Act appears to have narrowed racial and ethnic disparities in insurance coverage and access to care among young adults.
This study analyzed insurance coverage gains of young adults aged 19 to 25 due to the Affordable Care Act鈥檚 2010 coverage provision and also 2014 Medicaid and Marketplace expansions. There were gains in coverage of 11% for Hispanics, 10.1% for Blacks and 4.6% for Whites.

A longitudinal relationship between depressive symptoms and development of metabolic syndrome: the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study.
The researchers tested whether baseline and time-varying depressive symptoms were associated with metabolic syndrome incidence in black and white men and women from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study. They found that, over 15 years, the incidence rate of metabolic syndrome varied by race and sex, with the highest rate in black women followed by white men, black men, and white women. Depressive symptoms were associated with incident metabolic syndrome in white men and white women. However, they found no significant association between depression and metabolic syndrome among black men or black women.

An electronic asthma self-management intervention for young African American adults.
The objective of this study was to develop and assess the feasibility of an electronic asthma self-management program for young African American adults. The researchers found that all subjects completing the 2-week postprogram survey reported that the program was helpful, and 97% would recommend it to others. Asthma control as measured by the Asthma Control Test improved, and asthma quality of life as measured by the Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire also improved. They concluded that the Breathe Michigan program is feasible for recruitment and retention, and demonstrated an improvement in asthma control and quality of life for young African American adults.
