Abstract Background Despite significant gains in the treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), there are still over 38,000 newly diagnosed with the illness annually in the United States. One strategy to reduce HIV infections is Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV infection. PrEP involves daily oral emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF or Truvada®) to reduce infections in those with exposure(s) to HIV or high-risk groups. Studies have shown reduction in HIV transmission with PrEP treatment. The objective of the study is to investigate how behavioral, demographic, and socioeconomic status (SES) influences the awareness of PrEP treatment in NYC. Methods Data on economic, behavioral, PrEP awareness at the UHF neighborhood level was collected by the Community Health Survey (CHS) from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the American Community Survey from the U.S. Census. The population is a cross-sectional telephone survey of NYC residents with landlines and mobile phones for 2016 and 2017. Household income and neighborhood poverty level were used as proxies for SES. Sex-stratified, multivariate logistic regression model was constructed to estimate adjusted associations and determine differences in awareness of PrEP. The model controlled for age group, race, education level, men sex with men status (MSM), and having had an HIV test in the preceding 12 months. Results The final study sample was 5,515 and 5,761 in 2016 and 2017, respectively. In 2016 crude PrEP awareness rate was 24.3% and in 2017 it was 35.4%. In the multivariate analysis for both 2016 and 2017, PrEP awareness was independently associated with age group, education level, male MSM, and having had an HIV test in the preceding 12 months (p < 0.01). The strongest predictors of PrEP awareness were participants with a preceding HIV test in the past 12 months and males who are MSM. PrEP awareness was associated with race for males in 2016 and 2017. PrEP awareness was associated with race for women in 2016, but not 2017. Figure 1: (left) Median household income in NYC (right) HIV diagnoses and PrEP awareness for 2016 and 2017 Conclusion Understanding the relationship of neighborhood socioeconomic status and PrEP awareness is essential for HIV epidemiology. By monitoring PrEP awareness, HIV diagnoses, and risk factors associated with the two, public health officials better target interventions and health policy.

Soymilk is one of the fastest growing categories in the U.S dairy alternative functional beverage market. Using household-level purchase data from Nielsen's 2008 Homescan panel and the Tobit econometric procedure, we estimate conditional and unconditional own-price, cross-price, and income elasticities for soymilk, white milk, and flavored milk. Income, age, employment status, education level, race, ethnicity, region, and presence of children in a household are significant drivers of demand for soymilk. White milk and flavored milk are competitors for soymilk, and soymilk is a competitor for white milk. Strategies for pricing and targeted marketing of soymilk are also discussed.

Previous studies that have identified the predictors of prescription drug abuse have either focused on a specific age group or pooled all age groups together into one sample. This approach constrains the predictors to have the same effect across age groups. In this study, we use the 2001 to 2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health to estimate separate models across five age groups for the past year nonmedical use of prescription drugs. The results indicate that several factors (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity marital status, other substance use) have quite different correlations with prescription drug abuse across age groups. This suggests that more accurate profiles of prescription drug abusers can be obtained by estimating separate models for different age groups.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi delinear o perfil epidemiológico dos usuários do CAPS do município de Rolim de Moura, no Estado de Rondônia, que foram medicalizados com psicotrópicos no ano de 2014. Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, de abordagem quantitativa e de natureza descritiva. Os resultados mostraram predominância do gênero feminino, 70,7%, bem como a faixa etária de 40 a 60 anos, com 56,1% para ambos os sexos. Com relação ao estado civil, a maioria, 47,3%, é casada e estudou apenas até o ensino fundamental.

Responsible Tourism

Responsible tourism is an increasingly observed phenomenon. This study offers new insights into the factors that prevent tourists from travelling responsibly. In particular, a sample of 837 Italian travelers was profiled based on the main impediments toward responsible tourism. Findings of the study suggested that impediments toward responsible tourism are related to five main categories: ‘lack of accessibility', ‘unwillingness', ‘lack of trustworthiness', ‘stress', and ‘price'. Cluster analysis revealed the existence of four tourist segments: the ‘existential pessimists', the ‘distrustful and accessibility seekers', the ‘mindless', and the ‘accessibility and time-saving seekers'. Furthermore, a series of distribution tests (χ2) showed that significant differences exist between the segments only based on the level of education, whereas no differences were found related to gender, age, marital status, employment status, monthly household income, or association membership. Finally, managerial implications of the study are discussed, along with recommendations for future research.
