Abstract:
This study focuses on variation of the prevalence rate of COVID-19 over time by age and race/ethnicity, and how neighborhood social vulnerability affects the COVID-19 prevalence in the whole epidemic as well as its three consecutive sub-waves in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. It found that the highest prevalence rate was for young adults (18-44). Hispanics and Asians were more likely to be infected than were non-Hispanic whites and African Americans. The high neighborhood social vulnerability was associated with greater risk of infection especially for persons over age 25, for Hispanics and Asians. High prevalence rates were significantly and strongly associated with all major factors of the social vulnerability in early stage of the pandemic, especially with the factor associated with Hispanic and immigrant population. Throughout the epidemic, the Hispanic/immigrant and African American factors had a reduced but still significant effect, but the socioeconomic factor was not significant and the explained variance across neighborhoods was smaller.

Abstract:
Most low-income Americans fail to meet physical activity recommendations. Inactivity and poor diet contribute to obesity, a risk factor for multiple chronic diseases. Health promotion activities have the potential to improve health outcomes for low-income populations. Measuring the effectiveness of these activities, however, can be challenging in community settings. A “Biking for Health” study tested the impact of a bicycling intervention on overweight or obese low-income Latino and African American adults to reduce barriers to cycling and increase physical activity and fitness. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in summer 2015. A 12-week bicycling intervention was implemented at two sites with low-income, overweight, or obese Latino and African American adults. We found that randomized controlled trial methodology was suboptimal for use in this small pilot study and that it negatively affected participation. More discussion is needed about the effectiveness of using traditional research methods in community settings to assess the effectiveness of health promotion interventions. Modifications or alternative methods may yield better results. The aim of this article is to discuss the effectiveness and feasibility of using traditional research methods to assess health promotion interventions in community-based settings.

Abstract:
Purpose: Despite evidence that food insecure African Americans with type 2 diabetes are at particularly high risk for poor health outcomes, there is currently a lack of information on their lived experience. This qualitative study aimed to identify chal­lenges, facilitators, and barriers to effective diabetes care for food insecure African Americans with type 2 diabetes residing in an inner city.Methods: In fall 2018, we conducted two focus groups attended by a total of 16 food insecure adults with type 2 diabetes residing in the inner city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A standardized moderator guide included questions to explore the role of food inse­curity in managing diabetes, and facilitators that improve diabetes management within the context of food insecurity. Focus groups were audio recorded and recordings were transcribed by a professional transcription service. A grounded theory approach was used for analysis.Results: Six major challenges existed at the individual level (diet/nutrition, exercise, dia­betes knowledge and skills, complications from diabetes, a family history of diabe­tes, and a preoccupation with food). Five major barriers and facilitators existed both internally and externally to the individuals (access to food, medications, stress, cost of health-related needs and religion/spiritual­ity).Conclusions: This study identified multiple challenges, barriers, and facilitators to effec­tive care for food insecure African American adults with type 2 diabetes. It is impera­tive to incorporate this understanding in future work by using an ecological approach to investigate strategies to address food insecurity beyond a singular focus on access to food.

Abstract:
Abstract Background COVID-19, caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States since its emergence in Wuhan, China. As of June 2020, there are over 20,000 confirmed cases and nearly 700 deaths due to COVID-19 in Wisconsin, with the majority of COVID-19 related deaths occurring within Milwaukee County. COVID-19 infections are disproportionately affecting minority communities across the United States. Presentation and outcomes vary, with the elderly and those with underlying diseases having poorer outcomes. Methods This retrospective chart review of patients tested for COVID-19 infection from March 2020-May 2020 at the Zablocki VA Medical Center, Milwaukee, WI evaluated demographics, comorbidities, presenting symptoms, and duration of symptoms. The primary outcomes analyzed were whether there were significant differences in demographic data, comorbidities, and presentation between patients testing positive or not positive for COVID-19. Results A total of 173 patients tested for COVID-19 were included during the study period, 82 positive and 91 otherwise. Univariate analysis of patient demographics and presenting symptoms are summarized in Table 1. A multivariable logistic regression using stepwise selection (AUC=0.7188) determined patients that tested positive for COVID-19, when controlling for demographics and comorbidities, were more likely to be African-American than White (OR 3.455, CI 1.733–6.887), and more likely to have a diagnosis of diabetes (OR 2.698, CI 1.36–5.353). However, race and diabetes were not informative when symptoms were included in a subsequent model (AUC=0.8458); patients testing positive for COVID-19 were more likely to present with diarrhea (OR 6.926, CI 1.760–6.926) and a higher temperature (OR 2.651, CI 1.533–4.584), but less likely to present with vomiting (OR 0.007, CI < .001-0.161) when compared to patients testing otherwise for COVID-19. Table 1: Univariate Analysis of Variables Associated with Testing Positive for COVID-19 at Zablocki VA Medical Center 3/2020–5/2020 Conclusion Patients testing positive in Milwaukee County are more likely to be African-American and/or diabetic; further highlighting racial disparities in COVID-19. Symptomology at presentation is more related to positive COVID-19 test results than demographics and comorbidities. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract:
Objective To identify significant risk factors associated with repeat emergency department (ED). Visits for violent injuries in youth firearm victims. Methods The study subjects of this retrospective cohort study were firearm victims aged 18 and younger presenting to a Pediatric Emergency Department/Trauma Center at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin between 1990 and 1995. The primary outcome was subsequent Emergency Department visits (REDV) at any emergency department in Milwaukee for a violent injury. Results A total of 495 subjects were eligible for the present study in the pediatric firearm victim's ED visit database. Eighty-five percent (n = 420) were males and 82% were African-Americans. Mean age was 15 years old (s.d = ±3.6). A majority of them had a single-parent family. Eighty-eight subjects (17.8%) had a prior history of ED visit due to violence. During the study time, 201 subjects had at least one REDV. In the multivariable model, a subject without a social worker consulting at the hospital were more likely to have REDV compared to subjects with a social worker consulting (O.R = 1.749; p-value = 0.047), controlling for guardian and disposition. Subjects disposed to detention center or police custody were more likely to have REDV compared to subjects disposed to home or a hospital (O.R = 5.351; p-value = 0.003). Conclusion Our analysis indicates that individuals with guardians, those who did not receive social worker intervention on their initial visit, and those discharged in police custody were associated with increased repeat ED visits due to a violent injury.

Abstract This abstract introduces an ongoing research project that aimed to develop a patient-centered self-management program using health information and technologies for older adults with hypertension and diabetes. The purpose of the project in the first phase was to better understand challenges in self-management faced by older adults with both conditions. A semi-structured and face-to-face interview was conducted to explore the challenges in self-management of the target population living in Milwaukee areas, Wisconsin. Audio recordings were transcribed in verbatim; transcripts were analyzed; and themes were identified. A total of six individuals participated in this study by January 2019. Their age ranged from 56 to 75. Four of them were female; five of them were African Americans; and one was Caucasian. All participants reported more than two additional conditions that were arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, pain, kidney diseases, respiratory diseases, and depression. Most participants were self-managing their conditions mainly by taking prescribed medications. Several themes were emerged as challenges to self-management: monitoring blood pressure and glucose, engagement in physical activity, and healthy eating. Among these, participants reported healthy eating as the most difficult self-managing activity. Majority of participants expressed the need for physical activity support due to pain and/or vision problems known as one of diabetic complications. Understanding challenges and needs of a specific population is the first step for health care providers to support self-management of the patients appropriately. The results of this preliminary study will help health care providers develop effective self-management programs for older adults with both conditions.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship of paternity status, welfare reform period, and racial/ethnic disparities in infant mortality. The study used retrospective analysis of birth outcomes data from singleton birth/infant death data in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from 1993 to 2009. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between paternity status, welfare reform period, and infant mortality, adjusting for maternal and infant characteristics. Data consisted of almost 185,000 singleton live births and 1,739 infant deaths. Although unmarried women with no father on record made up about 32% of the live births, they accounted for over two thirds of the infant deaths compared with married women with established paternity who made up 39% of live births but had about a quarter of infant deaths. After adjustments, any form of paternity establishment was protective against infant mortality across all racial/ethnic groups. Unmarried women with no father on record had twice to triple the odds of infant mortality among all racial/ethnic groups. The likelihood of infant mortality was only significantly greater for African American women in the postwelfare (1999-2004; odds ratio = 1.27; 95% confidence interval = 1.10-1.46) period compared with the 1993 to 1998 period. Study findings suggest that any form of paternity establishment may have protective effect against infant mortality. Welfare reform changes may have reduced some of the protection against infant mortality among unmarried African American women that was present before the welfare legislation. Policies and programs that promote or support increased paternal involvement and establishment of paternity may improve birth outcomes and help reduce infant mortality.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: At the Saturday Clinic for the Uninsured (SCU), a Milwaukee student-run free clinic affiliated with the Medical College of Wisconsin, we screened patients for food insecurity and evaluated associations of food security status with nine separate social determinants of health (SDOH) needs and eight chronic medical conditions influenced by diet. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This cross-sectional study took place from October 2021-April 2022 at SCU, which only sees uninsured patients. We added the USDA six-item food insecurity form to the clinic’s larger SDOH survey, which screens for medication financing, housing stability, energy assistance, legal issues, educational/work opportunities, substance use, mental health, health insurance options, and dental care needs. We then completed chart review for demographic, diagnostic, lab, and medication information pertaining to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), anxiety, and depression. We conducted descriptive statistics on demographics and measured associations using both Kendall’s tau correlation and odds ratios from binomial regression. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Of the 157 patients seen during this time, most were middle-aged (mean age = 49.4 years ± 14.5 years), female (n = 98, 62.4%), Black or African American (n = 66, 42%) and resided in Milwaukee County (n = 144, 92.9%). 22 (16%) screened as food insecure and had greater odds and positively correlated with needing resources for medication financing (OR = 7.28, I2 = 0.33), housing (OR = 129.99, I2 = 0.28), energy assistance (OR = 3.94,I2= 0.2), mental health (OR = 4.54, I2= 0.28), insurance (OR = 2.86, I2= 0.18), and dental care (OR=3.65,I2= 0.28), but not legal concerns, education/work opportunities, or substance use. Food insecure patients had higher odds and positively correlated with having anxiety (OR = 3.26,I2= 0.23) or depression (OR = 2.88,I2= 0.19), but not obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, CKD, or GERD. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Patients without health insurance and experiencing food insecurity were more likely to have multiple SDOH needs and mental health diagnoses. Risk factors separate from food security status may explain associations with other chronic medical conditions, including uninsured status, socioeconomic status, eating behaviors, or food accessibility.

Abstract:
This exploratory study begins to unpack the association between involuntary neighborhood transiency (i.e., forced household moves) and civic environmental stewardship, focusing on four neighborhoods adjacent to urban forest patches in the City of Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The patches emerged on the sites of former public housing communities after the city razed housing projects in the first decade of the 2000s. Given intense competition for city land, e.g., affordable housing needs versus greenspace preservation, we might expect neighborhood-level inquiry regarding plans for these properties; however, there is no indication of popular interest in the sites. We suggest that such engagement is inhibited, in part, by involuntary neighborhood transiency as the neighborhoods surrounding the patches are inhabited mostly by low-income African American renters, a highly transient population. This is the first phase of a study that will eventually examine the association between transiency and greenspace civic engagement. In this exploratory step, we examine involuntary neighborhood transiency as an a priori social condition that necessarily influences people’s engagement with urban greenspaces. Building on input from community members, research by Stephanie DeLuca and colleagues, and Matthew Desmond’s work on evictions in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we operationalize transiency in terms of Housing Choice Voucher units and eviction rate to assess the extent to which these indicators localize in the four urban patch neighborhoods. A geospatial cluster analysis indicated that both measures concentrate in the neighborhoods adjacent to the forest patches, and they are positively associated. Given these associations, we recommend further research examining how various forms of involuntary moving may ultimately inhibit civic environmental stewardship.

Abstract:
IntroductionGiven the burden of diabetes in ethnic minorities and emerging data on the efficacy of financial incentives in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is critical to examine the efficacy of financial incentives across and within racial/ethnic groups.Methods and analysisThis trial is an ongoing 5-year, randomised clinical trial designed to test the efficacy of a Financial Incentives And Nurse Coaching to Enhance Diabetes Outcomes (FINANCE-DM) intervention composed of (1) nurse education, (2) home telemonitoring and (3) structured financial incentives; compared with an active control group (nurse education and home telemonitoring alone). The study also will evaluate whether intervention effects are sustained 6 months after the financial incentives are withdrawn (ie, 18 months post-randomisation) and whether the intervention is differentially efficacious across racial/ethnic groups. Participants will include 450 adults with a clinical diagnosis of T2DM and HbA1c of 8% or higher who self-identify as White, African American or Hispanic. Participants will be randomised to one of two groups: the FINANCE intervention or Active Control. The location and setting of this study include primary care clinics at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) in Milwaukee, WI and community partner sites affiliated with the Center for Advancing Population Science at MCW.Ethics and disseminationThis trial was approved by IRB at MCW under PRO00033788.Trial registration numberRegistration for this trial on the United States National Institute of Health Clinical Trials Registry can be found under ID: NCT04203173 and online (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04203173?id=NCT04203173&draw=2&rank=1).

Abstract:
Abstract The immigrant who wrote these words in his diary in 1854 after the journey to America expressed the misgivings most immigrants must have felt at some point in their travels. But this immigrant and his family were not standing on the docks of lower Manhattan when he began to have his doubts. Instead, they were on the shores of Lake Michigan, having just been deposited by steamer at Milwaukee. Though he was unsure of what his next step would be, he had planned all along to travel to Wisconsin. He and his family arrived at New York, but left the same afternoon, bound immediately for the interior where they had heard opportunity lay. Although much progress has been made over the last fifty years in measuring the geographic mobility of nineteenth-century Americans, we still know little of the paths followed by people like the immigrant described above in moving from one location to another. Both the earliest studies of geographic mobility by Malin, Curti, and Bogue that focused on the farming frontier, and more recent work on urban places in both the East and the West by Thernstrom, Katz, Griffen and Griffen, and Galenson, have focused on the experience of individuals located in documentary sources in the same location over several years. These studies have calculated the fraction of the population observed in a place at one point in time that is still located in that place after a period of time, usually a decade (the decadal persistence rate), and examined the characteristics associated with the probability that individuals would remain in the same community. The experience of individuals who changed locations has been inferred from their appearance in and disappearance from these sources.

Abstract:
William Goodell Frost was born into a New York reformist family who offered their home as a station on the Underground Railroad. Additionally, his aunt, Lavinia Goodell, was the first woman to practice law before the Wisconsin Supreme Court. In 1876, Frost received an AB at the progressive Oberlin College, where he later returned to teach Greek. While teaching at Oberlin, Frost became interested in Appalachia, and his interest deepened when he became the president of Berea College in Berea, Kentucky, in 1893. Berea College was founded in 1855 by Kentucky abolitionist John G. Fee as an interracial institution; its supporters, both black and white, also championed black colleges such as Howard and Fisk. In the years after Kentucky’s 1904 legislation outlawing interracial education, Berea kept its white students at the Berea campus and founded Lincoln Institute in Louisville to educate African Americans. Frost implemented programs at Berea that he felt were suited to white mountain students....
