Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science

Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science is a private, non-profit school located in Willowbrook, unincorporated Los Angeles County, California, United States. It was founded in 1966 in response to inadequate medical facilities within the Watts region of Los Angeles, California, USA. Later, the institution became a University and changed its name in order to reflect its new academic role. The University is named in honor of Dr. Charles R. Drew. It was associated with the former-Martin Luther King Jr./Charles R. Drew Medical Center (now King-Harbor hospital) from 1972 to 2006, and sometimes referred to as King-Drew University.

Drew University of Medicine and Science, Los Angeles, CA, 2University of California, Los Angeles Background: Although highly active antiretroviral therapy has drastically reduced AIDS mortality in the United States after 1996 there is no evidence that the benefits of AIDS therapy have been equitably distributed. Hypotheses: 1) In the period after the widespread availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy (1996 and later) widened disparities in AIDS fatality rates would exist by geographic area and by zip code income during the POST-HAART era (after 1996) versus the PRE-HAART era. 2) The aforementioned relationship would persist even after controlling for relevant community characteristics, including geographic distance to AIDS services. Methods: Changes in AIDS fatality rates were examined at the zip code level for all persons diagnosed with AIDS in Los Angeles County using AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality data from the Los Angeles Department of Health Services. Community characteristics and geographic access to HIV/AIDS services were incorporated as control variables. Results: Significant trends and differences were observed in AIDS outcomes at the zip code leve...

Geographic Access to Inpatient Alcohol Treatment Facilities in a Large Urban Context. A Case Study in Los Angeles County Paul Robinson (1), Norma Guzman-Becerra (1), (1), Jerry O Jacobson (1,2), Ricky N. Bluthenthal (1,3) (1) Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, (2) UCLA, (3)RAND Corporation Background Do African Americans and other minorities have equity when it comes to geographic access to residential treatment facilities? Objective To determine whether racial/ethnic groups in Los Angeles county have the same levels of geographic access to residential treatment facilities, and how community characteristics impact these access levels. Research Questions What are the relationships between geographic accessibility to residential treatment, racial and /ethnic population centers, and other zip code socioeconomic characteristics? Methods Population weighted accessibility surfaces for each of four racial/ethnic groups (Black, White, Hispanic, Asian ) were created based on proximity of each ethnic group population centroid and capacity at each facility. An OLS regression model with a correction for the fixed effect of spatial autocorrelation was created for each race specific accessibility measure. The model included relevant community characteristics, including the number of liquor stores per roadway mile in zip code Summary Total African American population, Percent White, and Percent Hispanic were significantly (.10) associated w...
