Lindsey I Black's research while affiliated with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other places

... Disparities have also been identified for allergicimmunologic diseases beyond asthma [60••, 62••, 70,71]. For instance, 2021 data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) found that food allergy was more prevalent in NH Black children compared to NH White and Hispanic children [70]. ...

... Psychiatric problems such as anxiety and depression can either be a risk factor or consequence of disturbed sleep [4,5]. Individuals with higher severity of sleep insomnia have higher rates of suicide death, even after accounting for depressive symptoms suggesting a direct and unique link of sleep disturbances on risk for suicide [6]. ...

... 2,3 It has been estimated that 1 in 5 children and adolescents experience a BH disorder each year, 2 in 5 by the age of 18 years; one-half of BH disorders have an onset before the age of 14 years. 2,4 During the past 2 decades, data have indicated that the prevalence of youth BH disorders has been increasing, including severe presentations leading to emergency department visits and suicide attempts. 5,6 Although children in all sociodemographic groups are affected by BH disorders, studies show increased rates of BH disorders and poorer outcomes for racial/ethnic minorities, 2,7 lesbian, gay, transgender, queer (LGBTQ1) youth, 8-10 poor children, 11 and those with developmental disabilities. ...

... Um outro detalhe importante foi a necessidade de treinar os odontológos e auxiliares para a nova rotina de atendimentos 15 . Alguns serviços também ficaram suspensos por muito tempo pois não apresentavam recursos financeiros para reformas das instalações e compra de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI) que atingiram preços exorbitantes durante a pandemia 16 . Para aqueles serviços que reagiram à nova realidade e retornaram os atendimentos, o número de consultas marcadas era obrigatoriamente menor. ...

... It is worth noting that the participant sample in study 1 was Whiter than the general population of the USA, and the percentage of females in study 2 was higher than the USA. That said, the CDC reports that non-Hispanic White adults are more likely than other groups to have had one or more urgent care visits in the past 12 months, and females are more likely than men to go to urgent care [27]. Thus, our study participants might have been more familiar with the urgent care systems compared to the general population. ...

... This shift is likely related to the changing landscape of outpatient healthcare with more low-acuity, outpatient visits presenting to urgent care and retail health settings. 22,23 Shifts in outpatient care setting might explain discrepancies observed in visit trends between our study and a national study including only physician offices and EDs: the study of visits to physician offices and EDs found a 25% decrease in ARI visits from 2010-2011 to 2014-2015, 2 compared with only an 8% decrease in ARI visits in our study population from 2011 to 2018. ...

... This is higher than another study of YYEH that found that 43% of their sample had experienced lifetime TBI, but the study only assessed blunt force trauma and did not ask about brain oxygen deprivation [5]. Both studies suggest a much higher prevalence of brain injury among YYEH compared to the general population in the US, with prevalence of lifetime brain injury ranging from 6.5% to 18.3% among youth ages 13-17 years, with variation in estimates across surveys likely attributed to question wording [27]. ...

... The CDC recommends RZV over ZVL and suggests individuals receive RZV even if previously vaccinated with ZVL or have a history of HZ [3] As of July 2020, sales of ZVL were suspended in the U.S. [4]. Historically, there has been slow uptake of HZ vaccination in the U.S., with estimates ranging from 7% to 35% in adults aged 60 in the last decade [5][6][7]. Few studies have looked at trends in HZ vaccine coverage across demographics [5][6][7][8]. Thus far, studies specifically quantifying RZV coverage in the U.S. have been limited [9]. ...

... Where families live within the United States also influences NDD prevalence and access to services. While urban areas account for the highest rates of ASD diagnosis (Zablotsky et al., 2015a), children living in rural areas were more likely to have an ADHD diagnosis than those living in urban areas (Zablotsky & Black, 2020). Individuals living in rural communities (i.e., medically underserved areas) often lack access to necessary treatments, use alternative and unproven treatments, and disproportionately experience poorer health outcomes (Blumling et al. 2019;Elder et al., 2016). ...

... In contrast, the expressive language subscale was significant for toddlers, which indicates that, similar to previous research, children born with VLBW are more likely to have trouble with emotional regulation, which can lead to lifelong struggles and at-risk behavior. In one study (Zablotsky et al. 2019), it was also found that there were significant differences in developmental delay for boys, children with birth weight ≥2500 g, children living in urban areas, and those with less-educated mothers. In the toddler group, although significant relationships were found between the DMQ18 and the BSID-III scales, there were no differences based on birth weight on the parents' DMQ18 report. ...
