Background: The Morehouse School of Medicine Patient Centered Medical Home and Neighborhood Project was developed to implement a community-based participatory research driven, integrated patient-centered medical home and neighborhood (PCMH) pilot intervention. The purpose of the PCMHN was to develop a care coordination program for underserved, high-risk patients with multiple morbidities served by the Morehouse Healthcare Comprehensive Family Health Clinic. Measures: A community needs assessment, patient surveys and provider interviews were administered. Results: Among a panel of 367 high-risk patients and potential participants, 93 participated in the intervention and 42 patients completed the intervention. The patients self-reported increased utilization of community support, increased satisfaction with health care options, and increased self-care management ability. Conclusion: The results were largely attributable to the efforts of community health workers and targeted community engagement. Lessons learned from implementation and integration of a community-based participatory approach will be used to train clinicians and small practices on how to affect change using a care coordination model for underserved, high-risk patients emphasizing CBPR.

Cardiometabolic Profile

Introduction: Dyslipidemia, Glucose Intolerance (GI), Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) are metabolic conditions often asymptomatic and related to high cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Nonetheless, these conditions are not commonly screened in younger adults. The LapARC cohort Study is a population-based study to assess CV risk profile in a young adult population. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of dyslipidemia, DM, GI, and MS in a young adult population enrolled in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the center of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional population study that enrolled individuals aged 20-50 years registered in an FHS unit in Rio de Janeiro. Sociodemographic, anthropometric characteristics, and CV risk factors were recorded. Office blood pressure (BP) was obtained by the average of 2 measurements obtained on two different occasions. All participants underwent laboratory evaluation (lipid and glycemic profile) and home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM). Two screening questionnaires for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA): STOP-BANG (SBQ) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were applied. Results: We evaluated 575 individuals [39% male gender; average age: 39.9 ± 8.7 years old]. The most common modifiable CV risk factors were physical inactivity (43.0%), and obesity (25.0%). The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 57.6%. These individuals had a higher prevalence of male gender (42.0% vs 34.0%), MS (25.0% vs 4.0%), and high risk for OSA by ESS (35.0% vs 27%). A total of 91 individuals (15.8%) were diagnosed with MS, being predominantly males (52.0% vs 36.0%), older and obese (46.0% vs 21.0%), with a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia (90.0% vs 52.0%), GI (20.0% vs 5.0%), hypertension (63.0% vs 18.0%) with uncontrolled office and Home BP. They also had a high risk for OSA by SBQ and ESS (25.0% vs 8.0%). Moreover, a total of 55 (9.6%) subjects presented an altered glycemic profile. These individuals were older with a higher prevalence of obesity (38.0% vs 24.0%), hypertension (36.0% vs 23.0%), uncontrolled HBPM (22.0% vs 12.0%) and MS (29.0% vs 13.0%) when compared to normoglycemic patients. Conclusion: This young and apparently healthy population has an adverse cardiometabolic profile, indicating the importance of precocious CV risk stratification. Thus, efficient primary preventive strategies can be implemented to reduce the probability of CV disease development in the future.

Sexually Transmissible Infections

Background Although jail screening programs have an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmissible infections (STI) and HIV among incarcerated individuals, many arrestees are not screened before release. Justice-involved women are at particularly high risk for these conditions because of individual risk behaviour as well as other network-level risk factors. Court-based programs could provide a critical bridge between these women, STI risk counselling and health services. This formative study explored the features of a program that would encourage STI testing among court-involved women. Further, we describe how community-based participatory research principles were adapted for use in a court setting and the resulting justice–public health partnership. Methods: Using semistructured interviews and focus group discussions, we explored issues related to health-seeking behaviours, perceived gaps in services for high-risk women and the components of a court-based screening program. Results: Six focus groups were conducted with women with a history of commercial sex work and staff from the court, as well as local organisations providing HIV and social support services for high-risk women. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles facilitated development of relevant research questions and equitable processes, and assisted partners to consider individual and sociostructural sources of health disparities. Discussion: Although not every principle was applicable in a court setting, the CBPR framework was helpful for building cohesion and support for the project. We provide a description of how CBPR principles were operationalised, describe the key lessons learned and discuss the implications for CBPR projects in a community court.
