“…A person's literacy level impacts their health literacy levels and their overall health outcomes. Studies show that a person's literacy level has a direct effect on their ability to understand health information, their knowledge of health service availability, their decision-making capability, their anxiety level during physician consultation, and their adherence to medications and other treatment protocols [18]. In order for public health and healthcare to implement successful responses to infectious disease outbreaks, the population needs to be able to understand the information that is being presented to them, follow health instructions and guidance, and ultimately adopt the prevention behaviors recommended.…”

Consequences of COVID-19 crisis for persons with HIV: the impact of social determinants of health

et al. 2021

Background With the indiscriminate spread of COVID-19 globally, many populations are experiencing negative consequences such as job loss, food insecurity, and inability to manage existing medical conditions and maintain preventive measures such as social distancing and personal preventative equipment. Some of the most disadvantaged in the COVID-19 era are people living with HIV/AIDS and other autoimmune diseases. Discussion As the number of new HIV infections decrease globally, many subpopulations remain at high risk of infection due to lack of or limited access to prevention services, as well as clinical care and treatment. For persons living with HIV or at higher risk of contracting HIV, including persons who inject drugs or men that have sex with men, the risk of COVID-19 infection increases if they have certain comorbidities, are older than 60 years of age, and are homeless, orphaned, or vulnerable children. The risk of COVID-19 is also more significant for those that live in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, rural, and/or poverty-stricken areas. An additional concern for those living the HIV is the double stigma that may arise if they also test positive for COVID-19. As public health and health care workers try to tackle the needs of the populations that they serve, they are beginning to realize the need for a change in the infrastructure that will include more efficient partnerships between public health, health care, and HIV programs. Conclusion Persons living with HIV that also have other underlying comorbidities are a great disadvantage from the negative consequences of COVID-19. For those that may test positive for both HIV and COVID-19, the increased psychosocial burdens stemming from stress and isolation, as well as, experiencing additional barriers that inhibit access to care, may cause them to become more disenfranchised. Thus, it becomes very important during the current pandemic for these challenges and barriers to be addressed so that these persons living with HIV can maintain continuity of care, as well as, their social and mental support systems.

“…2 Research shows that lack of trust in the patient-clinician relationship can lead to patient disempowerment, less treatment adherence, and worse health outcomes. 17,18,19 Moreover, on average, physicians spend less time with Black patients. One study that found that the average length of psychiatric clinic visits with African Americans was several minutes shorter than visits with White patients.…”

This article considers intergenerational trauma by drawing on the experience of a 37-year-old Black woman whose great-grandfather died as a result of involuntary involvement in the US Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee. Although she never met her greatgrandfather, the abuse, exploitation, and human rights violations he suffered at the hands of the US government profoundly influenced her health experiences. This article contextualizes her experiences in light of past medical abuse and microethics. To claim one AMA PRA Category 1 Credit TM for the CME activity associated with this article, you must do the following: (1) read this article in its entirety, (2) answer at least 80 percent of the quiz questions correctly, and (3) complete an evaluation. The quiz, evaluation, and form for claiming AMA PRA Category 1 Credit TM are available through the AMA Ed Hub TM .

“…These dimensions are known to be important antecedents, mediators, and moderators for important humanistic outcomes and behaviors [38]. For instance, in the health context, health literacy is a subjective reflection of one's "knowledge pertaining to health care issues" [45]. The trust in doctors that patients place and anxiety visiting doctors are additional examples of health-related psychometric dimensions [22,54].…”

“…The trust in doctors that patients place and anxiety visiting doctors are additional examples of health-related psychometric dimensions [22,54]. All three of these, and other related dimensions, have been shown to impact future health outcomes including well-being [45]. However, effectively collecting and measuring such covariates in a timely and unobtrusive manner has proven elusive in real-world settings [27].…”

Psychometric measures reflecting people's knowledge, ability, attitudes, and personality traits are critical for many real-world applications, such as e-commerce, health care, and cybersecurity. However, traditional methods cannot collect and measure rich psychometric dimensions in a timely and unobtrusive manner. Consequently, despite their importance, psychometric dimensions have received limited attention from the natural language processing and information retrieval communities. In this article, we propose a deep learning architecture, PyNDA, to extract psychometric dimensions from user-generated texts. PyNDA contains a novel representation embedding, a demographic embedding, a structural equation model (SEM) encoder, and a multitask learning mechanism designed to work in unison to address the unique challenges associated with extracting rich, sophisticated, and user-centric psychometric dimensions. Our experiments on three real-world datasets encompassing 11 psychometric dimensions, including trust, anxiety, and literacy, show that PyNDA markedly outperforms traditional feature-based classifiers as well as the state-of-the-art deep learning architectures. Ablation analysis reveals that each component of PyNDA significantly contributes to its overall performance. Collectively, the results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed architecture for facilitating rich psychometric analysis. Our results have important implications for user-centric information extraction and retrieval systems looking to measure and incorporate psychometric dimensions.
