Item Open Access Access to COVID-19 testing by individuals with housing insecurity during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States: a scoping review.(Frontiers in public health, 2023-01) Johannesson, Jon M; Glover, William A; Petti, Cathy A; Veldman, Timothy H; Tsalik, Ephraim L; Taylor, Donald H; Hendren, Stephanie; Neighbors, Coralei E; Tillekeratne, L Gayani; Kennedy, Scott W; Harper, Barrie; Kibbe, Warren A; Corbie, Giselle; Cohen-Wolkowiez, Michael; Woods, Christopher W; Lee, Mark JIntroduction
The COVID-19 pandemic focused attention on healthcare disparities and inequities faced by individuals within marginalized and structurally disadvantaged groups in the United States. These individuals bore the heaviest burden across this pandemic as they faced increased risk of infection and difficulty in accessing testing and medical care. Individuals experiencing housing insecurity are a particularly vulnerable population given the additional barriers they face. In this scoping review, we identify some of the barriers this high-risk group experienced during the early days of the pandemic and assess novel solutions to overcome these barriers.Methods
A scoping review was performed following PRISMA-Sc guidelines looking for studies focusing on COVID-19 testing among individuals experiencing housing insecurity. Barriers as well as solutions to barriers were identified as applicable and summarized using qualitative methods, highlighting particular ways that proved effective in facilitating access to testing access and delivery.Results
Ultimately, 42 studies were included in the scoping review, with 143 barriers grouped into four categories: lack of cultural understanding, systemic racism, and stigma; medical care cost, insurance, and logistics; immigration policies, language, and fear of deportation; and other. Out of these 42 studies, 30 of these studies also suggested solutions to address them.Conclusion
A paucity of studies have analyzed COVID-19 testing barriers among those experiencing housing insecurity, and this is even more pronounced in terms of solutions to address those barriers. Expanding resources and supporting investigators within this space is necessary to ensure equitable healthcare delivery.Item Open Access Interventions for the Management of Acute and Chronic Low Back Pain: Revision 2021.(The Journal of orthopaedic and sports physical therapy, 2021-11) George, Steven Z; Fritz, Julie M; Silfies, Sheri P; Schneider, Michael J; Beneciuk, Jason M; Lentz, Trevor A; Gilliam, John R; Hendren, Stephanie; Norman, Katherine SLow back pain (LBP) remains a musculoskeletal condition with an adverse societal impact. Globally, LBP is highly prevalent and a leading cause of disability. This is an update to the 2012 Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy (AOPT), formerly the Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), clinical practice guideline (CPG) for LBP. The overall objective of this update was to provide recommendations on interventions delivered by physical therapists or studied in care settings that included physical therapy providers. It also focused on synthesizing new evidence, with the purpose of making recommendations for specific nonpharmacologic treatments.
