We describe a novel curriculum designed to build capacity for public health and primary care collaboration. Since the Northwest Public Health & Primary Care Leadership Institute began in 2020, 119 participants have completed the seven-month hybrid curriculum. Application of knowledge and skills learned to workplace or community projects was reported by 84% of participants. Case-based learning and the critical friends group were valued learning methodologies. A cross-sectoral leadership curriculum can promote public health and primary care integration.

We conducted a qualitative evaluation of health department measles response practices from March to October 2024. Focus group sessions with public health officials from 11 jurisdictions revealed that despite resource constraints and evolving challenges, health departments enhanced surveillance and response capabilities by prioritizing community engagement, data modernization, and continuous quality improvement. Key lessons include the importance of real-time data tracking, the value of established protocols and training, and the need for standardized metrics to evaluate response effectiveness across jurisdictions.

In An American Health Dilemma (2000), W. Michael Byrd and Linda A. Clayton synthesized historical scholarship to trace the devastating health impacts of chattel slavery, White supremacy, and racial science. Their study exposed disparate levels of death and illness experienced by generations of enslaved African Americans. My retrospective review of An American Health Dilemma demonstrates how subsequent scholarship has reinforced Byrd and Clayton's analysis of the roots of African American health disparities but also illuminated some of the limitations of the authors' physician perspectives. By decentering biomedical frameworks and introducing new interdisciplinary approaches, historians of enslaved health and healing complicate the authors' conceptualization of the "slave health deficit" and challenge their assumptions about the "slave health subsystem." New studies of slavery and capitalism, gender, reproduction, and disability expand the account of slavery's full impact on African American health. Furthermore, rather than viewing enslaved healers as members of a subsystem of superior Euro-American professional training, a new body of literature today explores the spiritual and intellectual worlds of Black healers grounded in Black mobility and the cultures of the African diaspora.

Objectives. To estimate societal costs, comprising personal and external costs, of total abortion bans in the first year of enactment for 14 states after Dobbs overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Methods. We developed a model to estimate personal and external costs associated with total abortion bans in the first year after bans were enacted. We conducted a literature review to identify model inputs and included states with total abortion bans as of September 1, 2024. Results. We estimated in the year after enacting abortion bans, 104 369 people could not access in-clinic abortion in 14 states with total abortion bans, costing $339.6 million. Specifically, travel to another state for in-clinic abortions cost $104.7 million (30.8%), pregnancies ending in miscarriage or stillbirth cost $1.7 million (0.5%), and carrying pregnancy to term cost $233.2 million (68.7%). Apart from these costs, we estimated $9.4 million in decreased costs attributable to changes in post-Dobbs abortion care delivery, including increased use of telemedicine. Conclusions. Abortion bans are economically burdensome. Our findings provide compelling evidence that restoring and protecting abortion access would improve economic outcomes. (Am J Public Health.

We report findings from a secondary analysis examining moderated effects by Latinx ethnicity of an efficacious, stepped-care, technology and counseling-based intervention-Positive Strategies to Enhance Problem-Solving Skills (Positive STEPS)-to improve antiretroviral adherence and viral load suppression among adolescents and young adults with HIV in the United States. Latinx participants randomized to the Positive STEPS arm, relative to a standard-of-care control, experienced equal or greater improvements in antiretroviral adherence and viral load suppression compared with their non-Latinx peers. These findings suggest that Positive STEPS addresses unique behavioral and psychosocial barriers to HIV treatment adherence and viral load suppression among Latinx adolescents and young adults. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03092531 (Am J Public Health. 2026;116(S1):S36-S41. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308341).
我们报告了一项二级分析的结果，该分析检查了拉丁裔种族对一种有效的、阶梯式护理、技术和咨询为基础的干预措施——提高解决问题技能的积极策略（Positive STEPS）——的调节作用，以改善美国感染艾滋病毒的青少年和年轻人的抗逆转录病毒依从性和病毒载量抑制。相对于标准护理对照，随机分配到Positive STEPS组的拉丁裔参与者在抗逆转录病毒依从性和病毒载量抑制方面的改善与非拉丁裔参与者相同或更大。这些研究结果表明，Positive STEPS解决了拉丁裔青少年和年轻人坚持艾滋病毒治疗和病毒载量抑制的独特行为和心理障碍。ClinicalTrials.gov识别码：NCT03092531 （Am J Public Health. 2026;116(S1):S36-S41）。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308341)。
