Objectives/Goals: As translational science (TS) emerges as a field, there is a need for research organizations to understand how to develop capacity for and support the advancement of TS. To support such institutional and infrastructural change, this poster outlines a Translational Science Promotion and Research Capacity (T-SPARC) framework. Methods/Study Population: The T-SPARC framework was developed by members of the Duke University Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) primarily from CTSI Pilots, Team Science, Evaluation, and Administration, all of whom had identified the need for building institutional capacity for TS at our institution. The group reviewed literature on TS to ensure grounding in current knowledge, drafted an initial TS logic model, and then determined the value of developing a framework addressing building TS institutional capacity. The group then identified other frameworks/models related to behavioral, organizational, and system change; examined scholarship addressing the building of research capacity in colleges and universities; and iterated on a TS-focused framework in multiple working sessions. Results/Anticipated Results: The resultant T-SPARC framework provides a foundation to 1) inform the development of interventions and programs advancing TS and 2) evaluate their effectiveness. It outlines: organizational levels for TS capacity building (large-scale systems, research institutions, teams, and individuals); intervention activities (policies and processes, funding, collaboration and partnership, and training); proximal outcomes (knowledge/attitudes, behaviors, resources/infrastructure, and connections); next-stage outcomes (e.g., interdisciplinary team processes, and research infrastructure); and ultimate goals (fewer translational impediments, improved public health, and health equity). It ingrates TS principles as foundational to, and outcomes of, capacity-building efforts. Discussion/Significance of Impact: T-SPARC, as a framework for building capacity in TS, provides added foundation for advancing the conceptualization and practice of TS. Ultimately, T-SPARC seeks to advance broader goals of reducing longstanding challenges in the translational research process and improving health outcomes.

Objectives/Goals: Campylobacter is a foodborne pathogen, causing gastroenteritis in humans. Untreated infections can cause colorectal cancer. With rising antibiotic resistance, alternative therapies like E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) are urgently needed to control infections in humans. Our study aims to evaluate the effect of EcN supernatant on C. jejuni in vitro. Methods/Study Population: The efficacy of EcN CFS on the growth of C. jejuni was evaluated in LB and minimal media (M63) using agar-well diffusion assay. We also evaluated the impact of these supernatants on the biofilm formation and pre-formed biofilms, as well as on the adhesion, invasion, and survival of C. jejuni in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. Additionally, we examined the effects of EcN CFS on the expression of genes associated with virulence factors, biofilm production, and quorum sensing of C. jejuni using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Each of the experiments was repeated at least twice, and the results were evaluated using two-way analysis of variance. Results/Anticipated Results: Our results showed that EcN supernatants grown in both LB and M63 media exhibited a high zone of growth inhibition of Campylobacter in agar media. The EcN CFS significantly inhibited C. jejuni growth when co-cultured in liquid media. The supernatants also demonstrated a significant reduction of pre-formed biofilms by up to 82% and inhibited biofilm formation by 75%. Pretreatment of HT-29 MTX human intestinal cells with EcN supernatants led to a significant (p Discussion/Significance of Impact: Our study demonstrates that E. coli Nissle 1917 cell-free supernatant significantly inhibits C. jejuni growth and virulence. This suggests that EcN-derived bioactive compounds could be promising antibiotic alternatives to combat C. jejuni infections. This study will bridge the gap between basic and translational research.

Objectives/Goals: This study illuminates the efforts of a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Hub to share stories of its aspirations, challenges, successes, opportunities, and impact when pursuing its complex goals, and how storytelling contributes to the narrative of the translational science work (via storytelling strategies, products, and benefits). Methods/Study Population: We utilized an environmental scan of a CTSA Hub (University of Minnesota Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI)), including case study vignettes of its storytelling practices and products. We triangulated data from diverse data sources: grant applications, reports, and publications; public stories/news related to CTSI activities and impact; scientific publications; organizational/policy documents; and interviews with CTSI stakeholders featured in published sources. Results/Anticipated Results: TS storytelling uses and strategies include communicating the essence of research translation, promoting program utilization, engaging community, reporting to stakeholders, and evaluating for accountability, learning, and improvement. Storytelling challenges include complexity of translation; balancing the scientific rigor with an engaging narrative; identifying appropriate stories that resonate with diverse stakeholders and are at an appropriate level of maturity; and building capacity using storytelling. Facilitators include supportive infrastructure to integrate stories; leadership endorsement of storytelling as a valuable strategy; capable cross-functional teams of communicators, administrators, and researchers to facilitate the integration of data into storytelling. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The environmental scan provides evidence and lessons learned on leveraging storytelling as a useful tool for communicating CTS goals, actions, and findings, engaging stakeholders, building a narrative around scientific discoveries, evaluating and improving programs, and addressing health disparities in translational science.

Objectives/Goals: Aims are to identify the gaps and discrepancies between cancer care teams at Princess Margaret (PM) and primary care providers (PCPs). To ensure the transition from hospital care at PM into the community integrates the expressed needs of PCPs and cancer specialists. To ensure PCPs have the necessary resources to provide high-quality care to patients. Methods/Study Population: Phase 1 is the preparation phase, which consists of searching the literature and conducting contextual inquiry with experts in relevant fields, such as cancer survivorship and primary care. This phase is crucial to the planning of this project as the information gathered will be used to define the problem space and outline the scope of the project. Next (phases 2 and 3) we aim to create and distribute surveys to PCPs to gather data on current protocols and resources. We plan to distribute this survey by emailing PCPs and accessing PCP networks. Upon completion of the survey, we will review the data and assess which areas need further investigation. Then, we will create an interview guide keeping in mind the areas that need to be supplemented and aiming to validate the need. Results/Anticipated Results: A resource that presents guidelines for PCPs to assist in them taking on follow-up care responsibilities for low-risk cancer survivorship patients. These guidelines may include information such as communication pathways between PCPs and the PM Cancer Care team, expected follow-up care measures, and timeframes for follow-up care. The development of this guideline will assist in alleviating the burden on the PM Cancer Centre system as it will facilitate low-risk patients transitioning back to family care. Discussion/Significance of Impact: There is an increasing demand for oncology services post-cancer treatment at the PM Cancer Centre and the current cancer model follow-up care is not sustainable by oncologists alone. There is a need to explore innovative personalized pathways to follow-up care based on an individual’s needs and integrate family doctors.

Objectives/Goals: The Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM) offers a key framework for demonstrating the real-world health outcomes of research. This study uses a mixed-methods approach combined with the TSBM to show how researchers from Case Western Reserve University’s Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) have advanced health equity or improved public health in the USA and globally. Methods/Study Population: Using the TSBM indicators, we surveyed 72 former CTSC KL2 Program trainees and 469 CTSC Pilot Program awardees for documented evidence that their research led to demonstrated health benefits. We used purposive sampling of the survey responses to obtain examples highlighting research that led to advances in health equity as well as international public health improvements. We conducted in-depth interviews with six investigators to assess the populations impacted and the scope of their contributions. For each investigator, we examined how their publications informed both national and international policy. Through this approach, we will present specific case studies highlighting research that led to advances in health equity as well as international examples of public health improvements. Results/Anticipated Results: Among KL2 Scholars, we achieved a 40% response rate (29/72), with 90% (26/29) reporting 86 significant benefits across the four TSBM areas. For Pilot Program awardees, 18.5% responded (87/469), with 40% documenting 136 benefits. Several different types of translational science benefits resulted in improved health and health equity for several diverse national and international beneficiaries, including racial and ethnic minorities (e.g., Blacks, Hispanics), potentially vulnerable populations (e.g., pregnant women, victims of intimate partner violence, individuals on Medicaid, infants), international populations (e.g., people from low-resource countries with genetic disorders or parasitic infections), as well as people from rural areas and professions at high risk of developing cancer. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Leveraging KL2 and Pilot Grant successes, the TSBM shows how research improves public health and health equity for underserved populations. It streamlines outcome reporting, enabling researchers to demonstrate their societal impact while providing funders and policymakers with clear, data-driven evidence of the value of translational science.

Objectives/Goals: Our objective is to examine patient and community perspectives on hospital actions that signify accountability to healthcare equity; part of our overall goal is to identify equity measure concepts representative of community perspectives and priorities for future hospital accountability programs. Methods/Study Population: We conducted a qualitative thematic analysis of secondary data – 32 focus group transcripts from our hospital’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). A tri-annual CHNA is required of nonprofit hospitals to maintain tax exemption. Diverse participants were recruited from our hospital’s large catchment area. Coding focused on responses to 6 pertinent questions. We adapted the National Committee for Quality Assurance, “Health Equity Measurement Framework for Medicaid Accountability” which consists of 5 domains (access, clinical, experience, structure, and social) to guide the development of our a priori coding tree and subsequent analysis. Two coders double-coded 25% of transcripts. The multidisciplinary research team, including community partners, met iteratively to extract and refine themes. Results/Anticipated Results: We organized our analysis by our conceptual framework’s 5 measurement domains. The “access” and “experience” domains were the most salient for participants. We defined “access” by four sub-domains: financial access, physical access, communication access, and navigability; and “experience” by two subdomains: inclusivity and accomodation. Beyond discussing concepts within these measurement domains, participants debated the “scope” of the hospital’s role with regard to healthcare equity. While some did not think “it was the hospitals” responsibility to give people access to good jobs or fair pay, education…, “other participants felt that healthcare involves not just addressing peoples’ physical health but. their housing… because how can someone take care of their health when they are homeless?” Discussion/Significance of Impact: When asked about hospital accountability to healthcare equity, “access” and “experiences” of care are the most salient measurement domains for patients and communities. The “scope” of the hospital’s role is debated. Policy and health system leaders can apply these perspectives to equity measurement initiatives.

Objectives/Goals: Although eHealth tools like websites, apps, and wearables are widely available, underserved groups often do not benefit equally. This gap is due to usability challenges and overlooked structural, physical, and psychosocial barriers. Additionally, high costs and licensing issues make these tools hard to sustain and share. Methods/Study Population: This case study presents lessons learned over eight years of designing and disseminating a user-centered educational website on human papillomavirus (HPV) and the HPV vaccine for Hmong parents and teens (Hmong Promoting Vaccines, www.hmonghpv.com [http://www.hmonghpv.com]), a community-based participatory research project. Results/Anticipated Results: Our community-driven approach revealed four key principles for creating and sustaining culturally tailored eHealth tools for underserved groups: * Engage stakeholders like community members, legal teams, and developers early and keep them involved. * Discuss dissemination and sustainability goals from the start. * Explore commercialization options, balancing sustainability with protection for underserved groups. * Identify and use academic resources to discuss commercialization, ownership, copyright, and intellectual property of such eHealth interventions. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The Hmong Promoting Vaccines case study highlights the need for an inclusive approach to designing sustainable eHealth tools for underserved communities. Early stakeholder engagement, careful planning for dissemination, and balancing commercialization with protection can reduce health disparities and create fairer digital solutions.

Objectives/Goals: Our pilot study tests the hypothesis that a hospital-based oral health education and referral program will increase patient knowledge of the importance of oral health, engagement with dental health services, and create a reproducible model to improve access and utilization of routine oral health care services and treatments. Methods/Study Population: Participants recruited for this study will include a pool of eligible patients at an urban university affiliated teaching hospital, 18 years or older, who upon initial screening, reported having not seen a dentist within the past 12 months. Enrolled participants also reported having some form of dental insurance coverage. Our project plans to recruit fifty hospitalized patients from ten inpatient units. Once consented and enrolled, participants will receive a brief education on oral health and be assisted in scheduling a dental appointment with one of the providers from our dental referral network. The dental referral network will consist of local dental providers who agree to treat our study participants. Tracking of ongoing participant dental care engagement will be tracked over a six-month period. Results/Anticipated Results: We anticipate no issue recruiting the 50 planned hospitalized patients. One, the eligible hospitalized patient pool is large, two, data from previous study indicates that a large percentage (~57%) of hospitalized patients at our facility are not receiving adequate dental services and supports. We anticipated that the number of participants who attend their post-discharge dental appointments will be less than 70%. This number reflects averaged rate of missed dental appointments among other populations and considers that our population may have more barriers to appointment attendance. Due to the high prevalence of unmet dental needs among our study population, we anticipate that providers will report patients were seen for many standard dental procedures (cleanings, extractions, fillings, etc.) Discussion/Significance of Impact: The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of 1) developing and maintaining a dental provider network and 2) utilizing hospital-based teams to promote inpatient engaging with regular oral hygiene and dental appointments. These results show how inpatients visits provide a valuable opportunity to engage adults with unmet dental needs.

Objectives/Goals: Some children with asthma benefit from care from asthma specialists: allergist/immunologists or pulmonologists. However, a limited supply of specialists poses access problems for some children. Our objective was to describe the state of specialist care for pediatric asthma in Maine. Methods/Study Population: Using Maine all-payer claims data for April 2018–April 2021, we identified children with asthma meeting criteria for subspecialist referral based on NIH Expert Panel Report criteria. We determined which of these children had encounters with an allergist-immunologist or pediatric pulmonologist during the study period and performed logistic regressions to determine what demographic traits were associated with receipt of care. Results/Anticipated Results: Among children meeting criteria for specialists referral, 33% had an encounter with an asthma specialist. Specialist encounters were associated with younger age (p<0.001) and male sex (p = 0.003). Encounters were negatively associated with Medicaid insurance (versus commercial, p<0.001) and living in more rural areas (RUCA codes 4–10, p<0.001), lower childhood opportunity index (high or less, <0.001), and longer travel time to pediatric asthma specialists in Maine (<0.001). Discussion/Significance of Impact: Specialist care for children with complex or severe asthma is an evidence-based practice that is not equally accessible to all children in Maine. This may restrict their access to specific asthma therapies such as allergic desensitization and monoclonal antibodies.

Objectives/Goals: To reduce cervical cancer in the USA, it is essential to identify the reasons underlying the low HPV vaccination rates. This study aims to identify knowledge and beliefs about HPV vaccination among women in rural areas. The knowledge gained from this study will directly lead to developing an education tool tailored specifically for women in rural areas. Methods/Study Population: We conducted a cross-sectional study from November 2022 to July 2023. We recruited women (n  =  141) who visited a mobile health unit in rural North Louisiana. The inclusion criteria were women aged 25–64 years who spoke English, had not undergone a total hysterectomy, and had no history of cervical cancer. Data collected included sociodemographic characteristics, sexual history, awareness and knowledge of HPV infection, cervical cancer, genital warts, and HPV vaccination, the perceived risk of acquiring genital HPV infection and developing cervical cancer, and the willingness to receive an HPV vaccine. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate participant responses. Written informed consent was obtained before completing the self-administered questionnaire. Results/Anticipated Results: Our findings showed significant gaps in HPV vaccine knowledge and uptake. Approximately 40% of the participants were unaware of the HPV vaccine, 96.5% had never received it, and 91.4% had never been offered it. However, 42% indicated a willingness to consider vaccination if it were offered. Factors influencing their decision to vaccinate against HPV included a family history of cervical cancer (44.7%), having multiple sexual partners (48%), and engaging in unprotected sex (61.7%). Furthermore, there was significant uncertainty surrounding the vaccine, with 65.2% of participants unsure about its safety, 66% unaware of potential health risks, and 47.5% uncertain about its effectiveness in preventing HPV. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Our research emphasizes the need for tailored behavioral interventions to address knowledge gaps about the HPV vaccine. Low HPV vaccination rates in rural areas contribute to health disparities in cervical cancer. Implementing educational interventions in healthcare settings can enhance vaccination rates and mitigate the risk of cervical cancer.

Objectives/Goals: Our objectives were to describe the characteristics of patients initially listed with inactive status on the liver transplant waitlist to identify if disparities exist and compare the prevalence of initial inactive status listings across transplant centers. Methods/Study Population: This was a retrospective cohort study of candidates waitlisted for liver transplant between March 1, 2023 and February 12, 2023, utilizing the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, a national database including all solid organ transplant candidates. 224,736 candidates were included in analysis, and covariates included race, ethnicity, sex, age, body mass index, primary payer, MELD at listing, and etiology of liver disease. Results/Anticipated Results: Totally, 8,131 (3.62%) candidates were initially listed for liver transplant with inactive status. Although there were statistically significant differences between those listed initially with active status and those listed initially with inactive status in each covariate, these differences did not reach clinical significance. Of the 151 transplant centers, 128 listed any patients with an initial inactive status, with inactive status listings compromising 0–49.36% of total listings by transplant center. There is significant variation between listing centers in the practice of listing with initial inactive status by both liver disease etiology and across different eras of liver allocation policies. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Despite no significant clinical difference in the characteristics of patients listed with initial inactive status, there is significant variation across transplant centers of the prevalence of listing with initial inactive status. Subsequent investigations will focus on understanding these differences in listing practices between centers.

Objectives/Goals: This project (1) assesses provider behavior at the Galveston Secure Against the Fentanyl Epidemic (G-SAFE) Clinic in providing evidence-based care for underserved patients in our community and (2) implements evidence-based anti-stigma intervention in local health care. Methods/Study Population: The efficacy and impact of G-SAFE on healthcare utilization, health outcomes, and patient satisfaction will be determined. Evaluations assessing provider behavior will be made across at least 25 clinic patient visits, taking note of medical students, clinicians, and health providers’ interactions with patients related to decision-making, care plan creation, and communication. Health provider discussion groups will provide essential data in understanding the successful management of SUDs, management of safety and risk, and how best to pilot and assess interventions that promote greater trust-building and a harm-reduction approach to clinical care for patient empowerment and positive outcomes. Results/Anticipated Results: Observations in the clinic will be turned into interventions to improve diagnostics and therapeutics for SUD medical care and behavioral change. We will recruit 40 medical students (with/without exposure to UTMB’s free clinics) as well as 20 clinicians in the G-SAFE Clinic, Emergency Medicine, and Primary Care. Baseline stigma will be measured with the Medical Condition Regard Scale and the Drug and Drug Problems Questionnaire alongside measures of care approaches. The data collected and the educational intervention for medical students and clinicians will make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by SUDs and serve as a model for future interventions on a larger scale. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Health provider’s SUDs stigma undermines both care quality, patient empowerment, and recovery success. Addressing provider stigma is crucial for necessitating a shift toward collaborative, responsive, and creative clinical decision-making to tackle the ethical challenges posed by the opioid crisis.

Objectives/Goals: This study aimed to explore Puerto Rican adolescents’ mental health experiences, focusing on risk and protective factors, and cultural perspectives on mental health. Methods/Study Population: Three focus groups were conducted: two with 20 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years of both genders and one with five adults who work with adolescents. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results/Anticipated Results: The majority of participants in both groups of adolescents identified five key themes: social pressures, barriers to discussing mental health, the impact of social media, coping strategies, and institutional interventions. The adult focus group highlighted adolescent mental health problems, support systems, family and social factors, the church’s role, and recommended interventions. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The findings emphasize that social and familial pressures, mental health stigma, and social media significantly impact adolescent mental health. Coping strategies, such as sports, art, and nature, were also identified. These themes underscore the need for safe, supportive spaces, and targeted approaches to address youth mental health.

Objectives/Goals: • Investigate culturally-specific beliefs, caregiving approaches, care preferences, and unmet needs among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) care partners supporting persons living with dementia • Apply identified findings toward culturally-adapting caregiving resources for AANHPI dementia care partners Methods/Study Population: Qualitative data from the Better Together Dementia Care Study and Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Dementia Caregiving Study were analyzed to investigate culturally-specific beliefs, caregiving approaches, preferences, and unmet needs of AANHPI dementia care partners. Both studies remotely conducted and recorded semi-structured interviews (1.5–2.5 hours), with care partners and providers though interview protocols were distinct. Transcripts were AI-generated, through Zoom or Trint, and analyzed using thematic content analysis by two coders. Apriori codes drawn from literature and inductively-identified codes were identified and coded. Preliminary findings informed sociocultural strategies used to adapt existing care partner resources for use in these groups. Results/Anticipated Results: Preliminary analysis of care partner (CP) interviews (N = 8; 4 romantic partners, 4 adult children), revealed differences in caregiving experiences and networks. CPs supporting care receivers (CR) who had emigrated away from extended family networks reported a lack of instrumental support. Most CR (7/8) had adult children, many of whom (6/8) provided some care, though half of CR-child relationships were distant or had past difficulties. Romantic partners were primary CPs while co-caregiving with children; Adult children served as primary CPs for unpartnered CRs (n = 4). Adapted CP resources integrated these findings, acknowledging the complexities of fulfilling traditional filial expectations in light of difficult past relationships. Formal services were framed as an extension of family-coordinated care. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Care partners of immigrants may have limited local family support and may benefit from formal services. Adult children may provide care, though this may be complicated by poor past relationship quality. AANHPI care partners may benefit from culturally-adapted resources which address these issues, though resource acceptability-testing is needed.

Objectives/Goals: This study’s objective was to explore how a personal cancer diagnosis impacts the social connectedness (i.e., quality, structure, and functions of social relationships) of adolescent/young adult cancer survivors (AYACS, patients diagnosed with cancer between 15 and 39 years old), to inform intervention development fostering social health. Methods/Study Population: In this qualitative study (part of larger study assessing AYACS’ psychosocial challenges), participants were 15–25 years old at the time of cancer diagnosis and within 6 years of cancer diagnosis. Participants (and consenting parents of participants 18 years old and older) had to have fluency in written and spoken English and access to a computer or smartphone. Qualitative interviewers utilized an interview guide to conduct individual participant interviews. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used to analyze data using a phenomenological approach to explore how a personal cancer diagnosis impacted social connectedness. Qualitative data related to social connectedness (corresponding to code “Relationships and Support”) are presented. Results/Anticipated Results: Three themes emerged through thematic analysis: (1) AYACS experience substantial heterogeneity related to social support needs; (2) AYACS leverage multiple relationships and resources when seeking support after a personal cancer diagnosis; (3) AYACS’ individual experiences were unique in that some noted positive changes, whereas others noted negative changes in relationships within social networks, specifically with peers. Discussion/Significance of Impact: AYACS experience various social support needs, and leverage multiple relationships when seeking social support. These translational findings create a foundation to develop AYACS social programming, foster peer relationships, and incorporate social science methods to aid intervention development to strengthen AYACS’ social connectedness.

Objectives/Goals: Summarize literature on parenting stress and treatment outcomes among postpartum women with opioid use disorder (OUD). Describe the causes of parenting stress identified by postpartum women who received medication for OUD (MOUD) and service providers. Discuss recommendations for parenting support services for postpartum women receiving MOUD in outpatient treatment settings. Methods/Study Population: We will conduct focus groups with postpartum women who received MOUD up to one-year after childbirth (2 groups; n  =  10) and service providers (e.g., obstetrics, psychiatry, pediatrics, primary care; 2 groups; n  =  10) to identify causes of and contributors to parenting stress to inform the adaptation of a parenting intervention for postpartum women receiving MOUD in an outpatient clinic setting. Participants will be recruited via flyers, email, and social media reach-outs, clinic staff and patient group meetings, and community-based outreach methods. Participants will be compensated for their participation. Focus groups will be audio-recorded and transcribed. Data will be analyzed via rapid analytic procedures using a summary template matrix. Results/Anticipated Results: We will use parenting-related stressors identified by mothers with substance use disorders in previous research to guide our interview questions. We expect to hear participants speak about their knowledge and experiences with stigma, guilt and shame, mental health symptoms, neonatal opioid withdrawal or neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), fear of being reported to child protective services, and difficulties with mother–infant bonding and attachment. We will also ask participants about structural barriers that are known to increase parenting stress, such as housing instability, financial strain, and availability and cost of childcare. We will also report on new themes that emerge from the data that are shown to increase stress, challenge sobriety, and hinder continued engagement in the treatment. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Discontinuation of MOUD in the postpartum period is high and can lead to opioid recurrence and overdose. Outpatient treatment programs who offer psychiatric and behavioral health care, and parenting programs that target contributors of early postpartum parenting stress could improve health and MOUD treatment outcomes for mothers with OUD.

Objectives/Goals: Using k-means clustering, we aimed to identify whether clusters characterized by greater exposure to minority stressors (e.g., experienced/anticipated discrimination) were associated with lower moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and higher sedentary behavior among sexual and gender minority (SGM; e.g., lesbian/gay, bisexual, transgender) adults. Methods/Study Population: SGM adults face higher risks of inadequate PA due to exposure to minority stressors, which may influence their willingness and ability to engage in PA. An online sample of SGM adults completed daily surveys about experienced and anticipated discrimination and wore wrist accelerometers for 28 days to objectively measure PA. We used k-means clustering to identify clusters based on reports of experienced and anticipated discrimination. We determined the optimal number of clusters using established partition criteria and ran linear regression models (adjusted for demographic factors) to examine the associations of minority stress clusters with MVPA and sedentary time. Results/Anticipated Results: Among 42 SGM adults (mean age 27.0±7.7 years) with 1133 person-days of accelerometry data, we identified four minority stress clusters: low anticipated/low experienced (LALE; reference group), low anticipated/high experienced (LAHE); high anticipated/low experienced (HALE), and high anticipated/high experienced discrimination (HAHE). Participants in the HALE cluster (n = 12) engaged in 202 fewer minutes of MVPA than those in the LALE cluster (n = 7). Participants in the LAHE cluster (n = 10) had 123 fewer minutes of vigorous PA than those in the LALE cluster. No differences were identified for sedentary time. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This is the first study to examine the association of minority stressors with objective PA among SGM adults. Participants in the HALE/LAHE clusters had lower PA than those with low levels of experienced and anticipated discrimination. Interventions to improve PA among SGM adults must target reduction of minority stressors.

Objectives/Goals: To describe the evaluation processes of screening services implemented in community pharmacies. Methods/Study Population: A systematic literature review will be conducted from the last 20 years in Ovid Medline, APA PsycINFO, Clinialtrials.gov, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts. Inclusion criteria are written in English, describes a clinical or health-related screening service in a community pharmacy, and evaluation of said health screening service is included. Approximately 950 articles have been initially identified. Two authors will screen each title, abstract, and full text for inclusion. Subsequent data extraction will occur including elements of 1) evaluation framework, 2) evaluation outcomes assessed, and 3) evaluation results. All elements of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist will be followed. Quality of articles will be assessed using the MMAT. Results/Anticipated Results: Results are expected to show limited evaluation of screening services in pharmacies. Clinical conditions included in the screening services are expected to vary greatly. High-quality evaluations will be noted as templates for future evaluation of screening services in community pharmacies. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This systematic review will describe the current literature on evaluation of health screening services in community pharmacies. This will give readers an overview of how evaluations are currently being carried out in this setting, as well as provide them with templates of high-quality evaluations for future evaluation of screening services.

Objectives/Goals: Community engagement in pediatric emergency medicine research is completed mostly when an exemption from informed consent (EFIC) is involved. A campaign was designed to engage the community surrounding an academic pediatric emergency department in an informal discussion on any pediatric acute care and research topics they felt were important. Methods/Study Population: A flyer inviting members of the community to a virtual session was circulated through social media and word of mouth. Five members of the community attended the first session, including one with healthcare expertise and another with clinical research experience. The participants were not asked any personal characteristic questions and were allowed to self-identify during the discussion, to maintain the informal nature of the session. Results/Anticipated Results: All the participants identified as women, and mothers to children ranging in age from 11 weeks to 14 years. The participants highlighted community engagement as pivotal for advancing children’s health. They stressed the inclusion of groups traditionally underrepresented in healthcare systems, including patients and families who rarely utilize acute services and whose children have no chronic medical conditions. Critical issues in emergency and urgent care for children were extensively discussed, with a focus on when acute medical treatment is necessary and determining appropriate healthcare settings – emergency departments, urgent care centers, or primary care offices. The participants unanimously supported research leading to practical solutions for improving children’s health outcomes. Discussion/Significance of Impact: A group of community caregivers can lead to an established collaborative effort to enhance children’s healthcare outcomes through community engagement, informed decision-making, and practical application of research findings to families and caregivers. A standing community meeting is planned based on the feedback from the first session.

Objectives/Goals: The Research Education and Community Health (REACH) coalition proposes to develop the infrastructure for continuous and comprehensive collection of community health data to drive programs, education, and funding priorities across municipal agencies, institutions, and nonprofit organizations in Galveston County. Methods/Study Population: The workgroup through REACH will organize and adopt a comprehensive community health needs assessment that 1) accumulates existing, readily available data for shared use (e.g., Center for Health Care Data at the UT School of Public Health, the Texas Department of State Health Services Center for Health Statistics, and Epic Cosmos, a data aggregation tool, used by UTMB and other health systems to improve patient care); 2) utilizes data collected throughout the community (i.e. non-profits, municipal agencies, and law enforcement); and 3) applies qualitative data from focus groups and/or key informant interviews, so we can hear directly from community members about what their needs are. By doing so, we hope all can benefit from having access to current and relevant data to drive our programs, education, and funding. Results/Anticipated Results: This Community Health Needs Assessment is being coordinated by a diverse workgroup including community organizations, researchers, and policy makers who will benefit from access to current and relevant data. The Galveston Youth Risk Student Survey, completed every three years and most recently in 2024, revealed lingering health and mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on County youth. This highlighted the need for community access to current, accurate, and ongoing data to drive programming, interventions, and education. The REACH Coalition, made up of 23 UTMB Centers and Institutes and 39 community organizations, is spearheading this effort as a part of its mission to facilitate collaborative research, service, and educational efforts. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Collected data will be used to establish and support ongoing, coordinated interventions in response to identified needs. Shared ownership of data and project implementation optimizes resources and reduces gaps and/or redundancy in community programming.
