“…23,25 This mistrust and experience are especially relevant in Latinx communities, which have been marginalized by public charge rules that discourage the use of health care services, as this can negatively impact applications for permanent residency. 26,27 Beyond vaccine confidence, access constraints were cited as reasons for delays in vaccination among more than half of survey respondents who reported deliberations or concerns. Supportive services were essential in increasing vaccination rates, considering that the most significant predictor of vaccination at outreach events was whether supportive services were offered.…”

Objectives: The 12-month vaccination campaign ¡Ándale! ¿Qué Esperas? was launched to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates in Latinx populations in California by expanding community outreach. The objectives of this evaluation were to (1) determine predictors of vaccination rates and (2) identify barriers to vaccination and potential solutions. Methods: Five community partners in California serving Latinx populations with high social vulnerability participated in the ¡Ándale! ¿Qué Esperas? campaign. Community health workers were hired to deliver outreach (virtual, one-on-one, group based, and information dissemination), vaccinations, and supportive services. We collected data on outreach strategy used (method and location), number of vaccinations provided and reasons for delay, and number of times that supportive services were provided. We used regression models to assess significant predictors of vaccinations and supportive services. Results: Community health workers (N = 146) hired from June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022, performed outreach engagements (n = 6297) and supportive services (n = 313 796), resulting in 130 413 vaccinations and 28 660 vaccine appointments. The number of vaccinations administered was significantly higher at events in which supportive services were provided versus not provided (coefficient = 34.02; 95% CI, 3.34-64.68; P = .03). The odds ratio of supportive services was 3.67 (95% CI, 1.76-7.55) during virtual outreach and 2.95 (95% CI, 2.37-3.69) during one-on-one outreach ( P < .001 for both) as compared with information dissemination encounters. Vaccination concerns were reported among 55.0% of vaccinated survey respondents (67.7%, vaccine confidence; 51.7%, access). Conclusions: Supportive services facilitate vaccinations, ease transportation and time barriers, and instill confidence among working-class racial and ethnic minority populations.

“…Yet healthcare use is essential to achieving the self-reliance and quality of life that is central to US immigration policy and to migrants’ own goals [ 10 ]. Underutilization of care leads to reduced opportunities to prevent illness, detect emergent conditions before they become dire, and manage chronic conditions [ 11 ].…”

“…The cost of healthcare is a major issue for many people, and patients are looking for ways to obtain the care they need without breaking the bank. The trend toward more affordable healthcare [26] has led to an incredibly promising new technology, i.e., IoT, which allows us to connect devices with sensors so that we can track our health in real-time [27]. With IoT, doctors can use AI [28] to analyze your health data and make predictions about your future health prospects.…”

EdgeTrust: A Lightweight Data-Centric Trust Management Approach for IoT-Based Healthcare 4.0

Internet of Things (IoT) is bringing a revolution in today’s world where devices in our surroundings become smart and perform daily-life activities and operations with more precision. The architecture of IoT is heterogeneous, providing autonomy to nodes so that they can communicate with other nodes and exchange information at any time. IoT and healthcare together provide notable facilities for patient monitoring. However, one of the most critical challenges is the identification of malicious and compromised nodes. In this article, we propose a machine learning-based trust management approach for edge nodes to identify nodes with malicious behavior. The proposed mechanism utilizes knowledge and experience components of trust, where knowledge is further based on several parameters. To prevent the successful execution of good and bad-mouthing attacks, the proposed approach utilizes edge clouds, i.e., local data centers, to collect recommendations to evaluate indirect and aggregated trust. The trustworthiness of nodes is ranked between a certain limit, and only those nodes that satisfy the threshold value can participate in the network. To validate the performance of the proposed approach, we have performed extensive simulations in comparison with existing approaches. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach against several potential attacks.
