Adapting a Mobile Health App for Smoking Cessation in Black Adults With Anxiety Through an Analysis of the Mobile Anxiety Sensitivity Program Proof-of-Concept Trial: Qualitative Study

Black or African American (hereafter referred to as Black) adults who smoke experience significant tobacco-related health disparities [1]. Black adults who smoke are at higher risk for tobacco-related death and disease, including lung cancer [2,3], heart disease, and stroke [4]. On average, Black adults who smoke initiate smoking later in life and smoke fewer cigarettes per day relative to their European American or White counterparts [5,6].

Designing the First Pregnancy Guaranteed Income Program in the United States: Qualitative Needs Assessment and Human-Centered Design to Develop the Abundant Birth Project

Pregnancy is a critical period of development when stress can have deleterious effects on both the pregnant person and their baby, leading to adverse birth and long-term health outcomes [1,2] that disproportionately affect Black, Indigenous, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander people [3,4]. In the United States, Black infants are twice as likely to be born preterm or with low birth weight compared to White infants [3].

Implementation of a Social Media Strategy for Public Health Promotion in Black, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and Hispanic or Latino Communities During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Cross-Sectional Study

Individuals from Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic or Latino communities were disproportionately impacted by the SARS-Co V-2 virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiple studies reported that Black, Hispanic, and American Indian or Alaska Native communities had higher hospitalization rates and death rates across the country [1,2].

Tailoring HIV Care for Black Populations: A Pilot Feasibility Prospective Cohort Study

Tailoring HIV Care for Black Populations: A Pilot Feasibility Prospective Cohort Study

Despite this, Black populations are disproportionately impacted by poor HIV outcomes, and the incidence rate among the Black communities in Miami-Dade County, Florida, is among the highest in the United States. Accounting for 15% of the region’s population, Black Miamians comprise nearly 70% of the region’s AIDS-related deaths, highlighting vast underutilization of HIV resources [1,2].

Patient Perspectives on AI for Mental Health Care: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Patient Perspectives on AI for Mental Health Care: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Table 2 reveals that participants of Black or African American race (P=.04; odds ratio [OR] 1.76, 95% CI 1.03-3.05) and those with lower health literacy (P=.004; OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.29-3.78) were significantly more likely to endorse that AI would make mental health care somewhat or much better. Women, by contrast, were significantly less likely to endorse this statement (P=.046; OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.46-0.99).

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mobile App Use for Meeting Sexual Partners Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men and Young Transgender Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mobile App Use for Meeting Sexual Partners Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men and Young Transgender Women: Cross-Sectional Study

A premobile dating app study in San Francisco found Black MSM specifically were reported as less “preferred” partners [7]. Similarly, in a study of MSM recruited on a mobile app in 2015, respondents reported a dis-preference for Black and Asian men as both relationship and sexual partners [8]. In a study based in North Carolina, young Black MSM who sought sex partners via apps were more likely to report sexual minority stigma, racial discrimination, and perceived homophobia compared to app nonusers [9].
