Tramadol use in U.S. Adults With Commercial Health Insurance, 2005–2021 Am. J. Prev. Med. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-06-12 Christopher Andrew Basham, Heba Edrees, Krista F. Huybrechts, Catherine S. Hwang, Brian T. Bateman, Katsiaryna Bykov
Tramadol has been associated with chronic opioid use and emergency room (ER) visits. However, little is known about trends in prescription tramadol use in the U.S. Optum's de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database was used to assess trends in monthly incident and prevalent tramadol use from 2005 to 2021, stratified by sex and age (18-64 vs. ≥65 years). State-specific trends following scheduling

Chattopadhyay PhD, Akash Pillai MPH, Jeffrey Reynolds MPH, Verughese Jacob PhD MPH MS, Donatus Ekwueme PhD, Yinan Peng PhD, Alison E. Cuellar PhD, the Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF)
This paper examined the economic evidence of patient navigation services to increase breast and cervical cancer screenings among historically disadvantaged racial and ethnic populations and people with lower incomes. The literature search strategy for this systematic review included English-language studies conducted in high-income countries that were published from database inception to December 2022

Deprivation and Rurality Mediate Income Inequality's Association with Colorectal Cancer Outcomes Am. J. Prev. Med. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-06-10 Alison R. Althans MD MS, Dana Meshkin MD, Jennifer Holder-Murray MD, Kellie Cunningham MD, James Celebrezze MD, David Medich MD, Robert A. Tessler MD MPH
Income inequality is associated with poor health outcomes, but its association with colorectal cancer is not well-studied. The authors aimed to determine the association between income inequality and colorectal cancer incidence/mortality in U.S. counties, and hypothesized that this association was mediated by deprivation. The authors performed a cross-sectional study of U.S. counties from 2015-2019

Systematic Review of the Impacts of U.S. Social Safety Nets on Child Maltreatment Am. J. Prev. Med. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-06-04 Tia Palermo PhD MS, Patricia Logan-Greene PhD MSSW, Sarah M. Lima MPH PhD, Kaley Grooms BS, Denise Lillvis PhD MPA
Children living in poverty are at an increased risk for maltreatment. Social safety net (SSN) programs with antipoverty objectives may reduce child maltreatment through pathways such as reduced food insecurity, lessened caregiver stress, and improved caregiving behaviors and ability to meet children's basic needs. The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review of evidence on the ability

Mechanisms Linking Physical Activity With Mental Health in Children and Adolescents With Neurodevelopmental Disorders: A Systematic Review Am. J. Prev. Med. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-06-04 Chang Liu MPE, Xiao Liang PhD, Yijian Yang PhD, Ran Liu MD, Kelly Arbour-Nicitopoulos PhD, Cindy Hui-ping Sit PhD
Physical activity (PA) is a promising way to improve mental health in children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The current review aimed to explore the potential neurobiological, psychosocial, and behavioral mechanisms between PA interventions and mental health in children and adolescents with NDDs.

Characteristics of Injurious Shootings by Police Along the Urban–Rural Continuum Am. J. Prev. Med. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-06-04 Julie A. Ward PhD MN RN, Javier A. Cepeda PhD MPH, Dylan B. Jackson PhD MS, Cassandra K. Crifasi PhD MPH
Much research on shootings by police has focused on urban jurisdictions, but most U.S. law enforcement agencies are not located in cities. Prior research suggests that rates of fatal shootings by police are comparable between urban and nonurban areas. Yet, shooting characteristics across the urban–rural continuum are unknown. This study describes and compares fatal and nonfatal injurious shootings

New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes after Bariatric Surgery: A Matched Cohort Study Am. J. Prev. Med. (IF 4.3) Pub Date : 2024-06-04 Andrew Canakis DO, Elizabeth Wall-Wieler PhD, Yuki Liu MSc, Feibi Zheng MD, Reem Z. Sharaiha MD
The objective of this study is to determine the difference in rates of new-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) for individuals who have had metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) and similar individuals who did not have MBS, and to determine whether differences in new-onset T2D differ depending on whether the individual had prediabetes at baseline. This study used data from a large United States employer-based
