Background: Attending clinic appointments supports HIV viral suppression, yet racial disparities are documented. We assessed whether multilevel resilience resources were associated with appointment attendance among African American/Black (AA/B) adults living with HIV in the United States.
Methods: We ascertained data from 291 AA/B clinical cohort participants from 2018 to 2021. We assessed resilience using the Multilevel Resilience Resource Measure. Binary outcomes were a nonrepeated indicator of attending ≥87.5% of scheduled HIV appointments over 12 months (i.e., visit adherence) and a repeated measure of attending appointments during two sequential 6-month follow-up windows (i.e., clinic attendance). Modified Poisson models estimated adjusted risk ratios (aRRs).
Results: The aRR for clinic attendance among participants with greater versus lesser multilevel resilience resource endorsement was 0.95 (95% confidence interval: 0.88, 1.0). The aRR for visit adherence among participants with greater versus lesser multilevel resilience resource endorsement was 1.2 (0.95, 1.4).
Conclusions: This analysis is one of the first to assess appointment attendance as a function of resilience. Findings should be confirmed in larger cohorts.

Climate-related extreme weather events (EWE) affect sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) outcomes through complex and multi-level pathways. These include institutional-level effects on health systems, such as damaged health infrastructure and roads, barriers to retaining qualified health and care workers, as well as healthcare access barriers due to increased economic precarity, displacement and migration. Furthermore, EWE effects on SRHR disproportionately affect marginalised communities.

The global Black Lives Matter movement and COVID-19 pandemic drew attention to the urgency of addressing entrenched structural dynamics such as racialization, gender, and colonization shaping health inequities for diverse racialized people. Canadian community-based research with racialized immigrant women recognized the need to enhance service provider capacity using a strengths-based activism approach to support client health and wellbeing. In this study, we aimed to understand the impacts of this mental health promotion practice on service providers and strategies to support them.

In recent years, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices have gained prominence as firms seek to align profitability with sustainability and ethical responsibility. We analyse the impact of ESG scores, regional economic volatility (ECOVOL), regime shifts, and other control variables on financial performance indicators such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Using a long-difference multilevel fixed-effects approach, we examine firm- and regional-level data for 32 U.
