The Buprenorphine Nurse Care Manager Initiative (BNCMI) sought to increase access to opioid use disorder treatment in underserved New York City populations by expanding buprenorphine treatment capacity in safety-net primary care clinics. During 2016 to 2020, BNCMI added 116 new buprenorphine providers across 27 BNCMI clinics, and 1212 patients were enrolled; most patients identified as Latinx or Hispanic and were Medicaid beneficiaries. BNCMI increased access to buprenorphine, reached underserved populations, and is part of the New York City Health Department’s multipronged approach to reducing opioid overdose deaths.

Insurance Status

To assess the role of having a primary care provider (PCP) in men’s up-to-date receipt of recommended preventive services (colonoscopy, pneumococcal and seasonal influenza vaccination, cholesterol and blood pressure screenings), data from the 2005 and 2006 New York City Community Health Surveys ( N = 3,728 [2006], 2,810 [2005]) were analyzed. PCP prevalence and men’s uptake of each service, overall and by age, race/ethnicity, education, income, insurance status, marital status, and nativity, were evaluated. After controlling for insurance status and other factors, having a PCP significantly predicted receipt of each service (adjusted prevalence ratio from 1.12 [1.08, 1.16] to 1.72 [1.35, 2.22]) and total services. Colonoscopy and seasonal influenza and pneumococcal vaccination receipt were below 70% with or without a PCP. Efforts to increase the proportion of men having a PCP are needed to improve receipt of recommended services. Maximizing awareness and provision of low-use preventive services may be useful.

Sociodemographic Correlates

Purpose: To identify rates and sociodemographic correlates of food insecurity among low-income smokers. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of baseline survey data from a randomized controlled trial (N = 403) testing a smoking cessation intervention for low-income smokers. Setting: Two safety-net hospitals in New York City. Sample: Current smokers with annual household income <200% of the federal poverty level. Measures: Food insecurity was measured using the United States Department of Agriculture 6-item food security module. Participant sociodemographics were assessed by self-reported survey responses. Analysis: We used frequencies to calculate the proportion of smokers experiencing food insecurity and multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with being food insecure. Results: Fifty-eight percent of participants were food insecure, with 29% reporting very high food insecurity. Compared to married participants, separated, widowed, or divorced participants were more likely to be food insecure (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.33, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-4.33), as were never married participants (AOR = 2.81, 95% CI: 1.54-5.14). Conclusions: Health promotion approaches that target multiple health risks (eg, smoking and food access) may be needed for low-income populations. Interventions which seek to alleviate food insecurity may benefit from targeting socially isolated smokers.
