OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Acute lung Injury (ALI) has long been considered a proceeding event to the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Diagnosis of classical ALI and ARDS remains difficult relies on clinical components of the Berlin Criteria, interpretation of radiographs and exclusion of pulmonary edema inducing processes. The precipitating factor for developing ALI involves direct or indirect insult to the lungs. Recent studies have described metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) to be elevated in plasma samples of patients with lung injury and potentially affected by tobacco use. MMP3 can degrade extracellular matrix components contributing to lung edema and inflammation. This study was conducted to examine the utility of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) as a biomarker of lung injury. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted a single center, retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to the medical ICU (MICU). De-identified bronchoalveolar fluid (BALF) samples were collected and stored at −80C. Enzymatic activity of MMP3 was determined using a fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay. Demographics, comorbidities, evidence of lung injury and patient outcomes were collected. Data were reported with descriptive statistics and data was analyzed with t-tests for statistical significance. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 55 patient BALF samples were included in the final analysis (mean age 58 +/-17, 58.2% male). 54.5% (n = 30) of patients were determined to have lung injury, 29% (n = 16) of patients had COPD and 45.5% (n = 25) of patients were smokers. MMP3 was higher in patients with lung injury (2363 vs 1052 maxV; p = 0.008). Smoking was associated with decreased MMP3 activity (1231 vs. 2215; p = 0.048). COPD was not associated with differences in MMP3 (1563 vs. 1852; p = 0.605). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Lung Injury results in elevated MMP3 levels. Smoking was not shown to increase MMP3 levels and may in fact increase them. COPD demonstrated no effect on MMP3 levels. MMP3 levels may vary based on the mode of lung injury (i.e. direct vs indirect) and smoking may impact the activity of the enzyme. Further research should assess activity of MMP3 through different modes of lung injury.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The objective of this study is to examine implementation science and clinical outcomes of telemedicine ID consultation at a rural Missouri hospital. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Pilot study, hybrid type 2, studying clinical outcomes (mortality, readmission, hospital transfer) and implementation outcomes assessed by survey and chart review (feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, fidelity to guideline-based care). Telemedicine ID consultations are carried out for patients at Missouri Baptist Sullivan Hospital (MBSH) with positive blood cultures and charts reviewed for 30 days after hospital discharge. Patients, physicians, and staff complete surveys for implementation outcomes. The practical, robust implementation and sustainability model (PRISM) was chosen as the framework for this study and its future scale-up. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: There were 46 patients with positive blood cultures at MBSH, 20 of which were transferred or left from the ER before consultation could be offered. Eighteen patients had telemedicine ID consultation. The remaining 8 patients had contaminants in their blood cultures and therefore no consultation was offered. Of eligible patients not transferred, recruitment rate was 100% (18/18). Average total time per consult was 52.8 minutes on day 1, 8.5 minutes on day 2. 30-day mortality was 0%, 30-day readmission rate 5.5% (n = 1), hospital transfer rate 5.5% (n = 1). 13 patients and 9 providers completed the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness survey with zero negative responses on any measure. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Telemedicine ID consultation at a single rural hospital has thus far been received as feasible, acceptable, and appropriate. Scale-up of this model of care remains to be studied.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To characterize the various social and health trajectories of women released from jail, and how these trajectories influence women’s risky sexual and drug behaviors. To identify areas in which prevention programs and community interventions can be implemented to improve social and health outcomes. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The present study analyzes data collected as part of the sexual health empowerment (SHE Project) health literacy intervention. Participants were recruited from three county jails in the greater Kansas City area. At baseline, participants completed a survey that assessed participants’ sociodemographic characteristics and social histories prior to incarceration. Women were recruited between 2014-2016 and followed up annually after program completion to complete follow-up surveys to assess long-term health and social circumstances. The present study is a secondary analysis of baseline and follow-up data. Final analyses will include survey data from 126 women. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In this study, we use Hobfoll’s Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory to conceptualize the impacts of stress on the social and health behaviors of justice-involved women in the years following release from jail. We hypothesize that “loss spirals”, a term coined by Stevan Hobfoll, creates psychological stress that drive justice-involved women to assume behaviors that will generate more resources and help to cope with the stress. We expect to find that women struggle to maintain ties to stable housing, employment, and support, which we believe to be central to “loss spirals.” Additionally, we expect to find that these “loss spirals” are associated with sexual and drug health risks. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This study aims to define a succinct longitudinal timeline assessing biopsychosocial outcomes of women released from jail in order to improve prevention and intervention techniques for the improvement in social and health circumstances of women leaving jail and their reduction in recidivism.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The current proposal seeks to investigate the effect of early life antibiotic use in the development of functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. We propose that infants exposed to antibiotics will present with gut microbial dysbiosis, changes in fecal bile acid concentrations and develop more GI symptoms compared to unexposed children. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We analyzed fecal samples from 174 subjects at 12 months of age, of whom 52 were exposed to antibiotics in their first year of life. Of these, 33 subjects were sampled again at 24 months of age. DNA from 200mg of frozen stool (−80C) was isolated with the Qiagen DNeasy PowerSoil kit. Shotgun libraries were generated using the NexteraXT kit and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 using 2x125 bp chemistry. Sequence data were analyzed using the Sunbeam metagenomics pipeline. The abundance of bacteria was estimated using Kraken version 2.0.8. Fecal bile acids will be quantified by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Overall bacterial community composition at 12 or 24 months was not associated with antibiotic exposure (PERMANOVA test, Bray-Curtis distance). An increase in Enterobacteriaceae, in particular Escherichia coli, is a signature of antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, but also of early infant gut. Children with antibiotic exposure had slightly higher abundance of Escherichia coli compared to those with no exposure (p = 0.03). At 24 months, the abundance of Bacteroides caccae, a commensal gut species, was decreased for children exposed to antibiotics in the first year of life (fdr = 0.02). We will perform further analysis of bile acid modifying bacteria, fecal bile acid concentrations and correlate to GI symptoms. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our findings suggest a significant but nuanced impact of early life antibiotic use on the composition of the gut microbiota. The association of antibiotic exposure with B. caccae and E. coli warrant further attention in the context of the rapidly developing early-life microbiome. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DESCRIPTION: The authors declare no conflicts of interest relevant to this work.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this study was to examine the change in the odds of being diagnosed with metastatic cancer after the Affordable Care Act (ACA) among low-income, privately insured, nonelderly patients with newly diagnosed cancer. Low-income was defined as having income<250% FPL (federal poverty level). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using Ohio cancer registry data linked with census tract-level income data, individuals aged 18-64 years diagnosed with one of the 15 leading cancers and reported being privately insured or uninsured were identified. Low-income patients were isolated using probability weighting, a process in which each observation was assigned a weight equal to the probability of a patient having an income <250% FPL based on the patient’s census tract of residence. Then, a multivariable logistic model was fitted to examine the independent association between the exposure (Post-ACA, years 2015-2016 versus Pre-ACA, years 2012-2013) and the outcome (metastatic versus non-metastatic disease at diagnosis). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Between the Pre-ACA and Post-ACA periods, the percent uninsured in the low-income study population decreased from 14.1% to 4.5% (p <0.01). In the Post-ACA period, among those with insurance coverage, an estimated 11.7% of individuals had Marketplace coverage. After adjusting for potential confounders (sex, age, race-ethnicity, marital status, community-level income, rurality, and cancer type), individuals diagnosed Post-ACA had 5% lower odds of having metastatic disease relative to Pre-ACA (Adjusted Odds Ratio: 0.95, 95% Confidence Interval: 0.91 - 0.99, p = 0.04). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The shift towards non-metastatic disease likely reflects increases to coverage brought on by the marketplaces. However, the shift is smaller than those observed in Medicaid enrollees, suggesting that policy refinements in the marketplaces can further improve outcomes in low-income cancer patients.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Little is known about the effect of hemodilution with crystalloid on blood coagulation in obstetric patients. The purpose of our study was to examine the impact of hemodilution on components of blood coagulation using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) in term parturients METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This is a prospective, observational pilot study including 35 healthy, pregnant patients at term (≥37 weeks) without history of bleeding or clotting disorder or on medication affecting coagulation. Venous blood samples were collected from all patients and divided into specimen tubes to generate varying degrees of hemodilution with Plasma-Lyte (0%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%). Rotational thromboelastometry was then performed on samples to assess for coagulation changes. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: EXTEM (extrinsically activated assay) clotting time (CT) became prolonged at 65% hemodilution and above, and the median CT was in the coagulopathic range (>80 seconds) at a dilution of 80%. FIBTEM (extrinsically activated assay with platelet inhibitor, primarily measuring contribution of fibrinogen to coagulation) amplitude at 5 minutes (A5) began to diminish at 35% hemodilution, with the median A5 in the coagulopathic range (<12 mm) at 55% hemodilution. The area under the curve (AUC), a marker of clot strength, for EXTEM and FIBTEM consistently declined as hemodilution increased. Greater decreases in FIBTEM AUC were seen compared to EXTEM AUC, with the ratio of FIBTEM:EXTEM AUC at each dilution demonstrating a statistically significant difference from baseline. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: All thromboelastometry values demonstrated a hypocoagulable trend as hemodilution increased. However, the samples analyzed by the FIBTEM assay trended toward a coagulopathy at a lower degree of hemodilution compared to the EXTEM assay. As FIBTEM tests analyze the role of fibrinogen in hemostasis and EXTEM tests analyze the role of platelets, our findings suggest that platelets may be able to withstand higher degrees of hemodilution before impairing hemostasis compared to fibrinogen. These findings support the growing body of literature that in early stages of severe obstetric hemorrhage, the prioritization of fibrinogen replacement may be critical in preventing further coagulopathy.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Hepatitis B and C virus causes inflammation of the liver and can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this study is to generate a modeled estimate of changes in hepatitis B and C prevalence, and future sequelae, that accounts for recent mass migration to the European Union stemming from 50 high-emigration countries. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Total migrant population from 2013-2017 was obtained from the Eurostat population database. Demographics including country-of-origin, sex, and age distributions were used to determine migrant contributions to HBV and HCV prevalence where available. Undocumented migration estimates were obtained from the Institute of Migration database. Country-of-origin HBV and HCV prevalences were obtained for the select 50 country-of-origin nations from the Polaris Observatory and from systematic reviews. Disease progression was estimated using HBV and HCV outcome data for total populations from treatment guideline publication from the European Association for the Study of the Liver. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Between 2013 and 2017, a total of 11,030,786 documented migrants born outside the EU arrived to the 30 nations. Germany, United Kingdom, and Spain received the greatest influx of persons and the majority of migration stemmed from countries in West Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. A significant proportion of total migration was driven by conflict-related crisis in Syria, and East and North Africa. The most significant increases in estimated total hepatitis case numbers, national prevalence increases, and future sequelae were seen in Germany and Sweden. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Mass migration has significantly changed HBV and HCV disease burden in Europe over the past 5 years. Consequently, long-term outcomes of cirrhosis and HCC are also expected to increase. These increases are likely to disproportionally impact individuals of the migrant and refugee communities. HBV and HCV surveillance and management programs must strategically focus on individuals from high-burden age cohorts and nations. Screening and treatment would aid WHO elimination efforts while benefiting both the vulnerable individuals and host nations through reduction of morbidity, mortality, and associated healthcare expenses.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Provider and hospital factors influence quality, but granular data is lacking to assess their impact on renal cancer surgery. The Maryland Health Service Cost Review Commission (HSCRC) is an independent state agency that promotes cost containment, access to care and accountability. Within HSCRC, we aimed to assess the impact of surgeon and hospital volume on 30-day outcomes after renal cancer surgery. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Data on renal surgery were abstracted from the Maryland HSCRC from 2000-2018. We excluded patients younger than 18, patients without a diagnosis of renal cancer, and patients concurrently receiving another major surgery. Volume categories were derived from the distribution of mean cases performed per year. We used adjusted multivariable logistic and linear regression models to identify associations of surgeon and hospital volume with the length of stay, days in intensive care, cost, 30-day mortality, readmission, and complications. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 10,590 surgeries, completed by 669 surgeons at 48 hospitals, met criteria. The 25th percentile for cases per year was 1, the 50th percentile was 1.2, and the 75th percentile was 2.6. After adjusting for patient factors and cumulative surgeon experience, high volume surgeons had the greatest decrease in length of stay (β: −1.65, P<0.001) and mortality risk (OR: 0.27, 95% CI: 0.10-0.71) compared to rare volume surgeons. Low volume surgeons had the greatest cost decrease (β: -$7,300, P<0.001) compared to rare volume surgeons. Medium volume hospitals had statistically lower average costs than rare volume hospitals (β: $−2,862, P = 0.005). There were no other clinically and statistically significant relationships between volume and measured outcomes. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Almost half of the urologists studied performed an average of one renal cancer case per year. Greater surgeon volume was associated with shorter length of stay and decreased mortality risk. Hospital volume did not have a meaningful relationship to outcomes. Other factors such as tumor, surgeon, and hospital characteristics or case-mix may associate with outcomes and could be confounders.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The new Kidney Allocation System (KAS) was implemented in 2014 and it is not fully understood how its changes to patient incentives may have impacted dialysis facility waitlisting rates. We examine differences in facility performance and how such differences may have been impacted by this policy change. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We used Dialysis Facility Report data from 2011 to 2017 to study waitlisting rates at 3,392 dialysis facilities in the US, using waitlisting counts in the numerator, and the total number of ESRD patients in a facility as the denominator. We examined changes in waitlisting rates over by year at the facility, regional, and national level, and report national trends in waitlisting pre- and post-KAS. Facilities were stratified based on waitlisting rate in 2011 and then we examined whether each facility moved into a higher or lower quartile or stayed in the same quartile in 2017. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Among n = 3,392 dialysis facilities, the average change in dialysis facility waitlisting rates from 2011 to 2017 was −4.74 percentage points (range -54.4% to 42.3%). Average change in dialysis facility waitlisting rates from 2011 to 2014 was −0.57 percentage points while the average change in dialysis facility waitlisting rates from 2014 to 2017 was −4.17 percentage points. Half of facilities in the 2011 lowest quartile remained in the lowest quartile in 2017; 45% of facilities in the top 2011 quartile dropped into a lower quartile. The middle 2 quartiles were fairly evenly split between worsening, improving, and not changing. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Average waitlisting rates have declined since KAS implementation. Many facilities switched quartiles from 2011-17 suggesting that facility waitlisting rates are unstable over time. The decline in waitlisting rates post-KAS suggests that new allocation rules may be discouraging patients and/or providers from getting ESRD patients waitlisted.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this study was to investigate how suggestibility and social susceptibility relate to alcohol use in young adult non-dependent alcohol users, and the role of trait anxiety in this relationship. We hypothesized that greater trait anxiety would be associated with higher levels of alcohol misuse, and this would be mediated by suggestibility. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Study participants enrolled in the NIAAA screening and assessment protocol completed questionnaires on suggestibility, anxiety, and alcohol use. The Multidimensional Iowa Suggestibility Scale (MISS) is a 95-question self-report assessment of suggestibility. Trait anxiety is assessed with the State Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait (STAI-T). Alcohol measures included the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Structured Clinical Interviews for DSM-IV or DSM-5 disorders were conducted, and non-dependent participants (N = 113) were considered. A median split was conducted (median age = 35.1 years), with the focus of this study on the younger individuals (N = 55). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Initial analyses showed that suggestibility, alcohol misuse, and trait anxiety all had significant positive correlations with one another. To better understand the relationship of peer influence, specifically, with drinking and anxiety, MISS subscale of Peer Conformity was analyzed. MISS total score and Peer Conformity were positively correlated with AUDIT Total as well as STAI-T Score. STAI-T Score was additionally positively correlated with AUDIT Total (all p2 = 0.222). We also looked at Peer Conformity in place of MISS Total (R2 = 0.213). In both models, only suggestibility measures were significant predictors of harmful alcohol use (p<0.01). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: In young social drinkers, there were significant positive associations between suggestibility, risky alcohol use, and trait anxiety. These results suggest that suggestibility may be a modifiable risk factor for risky alcohol consumption. Future directions include using mediation models to explore the associations between suggestibility, anxiety, and alcohol misuse.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Specific aims are to: (Qualitative aim) Develop a new measure of cancer-related self-efficacy in partners (BCSES-P) and obtain feedback on the items (Quantitative) Evaluate the psychometric properties of the BCSES-P including: dimensionality, factor analysis, and construct validity assessing the relationships posited METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 2-Phase Approach: 1) Item development and 1) Item testing Phase 1 Stage 1: Literature review to identify additional covariates Stage 2: Focus groups and individual interviews to determine partners’ needs Sample size: 20 partners (18 years of age or older, identifying as being in a committed relationship with a BCS) Design: cross-sectional, qualitative interviews Stage 3: Develop candidate items Stage 4: Cognitive interviews Stage 5: Finalize items with research team Phase 2 Preliminary psychometric testing Dimensionality Internal consistency reliability Construct validity Sample size: 150 partners Design: cross-sectional, online survey RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The BCSES-P will be unidimensional as assessed by exploratory factor analysis. The BCSES-P will demonstrate an internal consistency coefficient of 0.70 or above. Construct validity of the BCSES-P will be demonstrated by support of the following theoretical relationships: Cancer-related self-efficacy will be positively related to marital satisfaction and sexual functioning (social well-being) and the distal outcome, overall QoL. Cancer-related self-efficacy will be negatively related to fatigue (physical well-being), fear of recurrence, depression, and anxiety (psychological well-being). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Findings will guide intervention development to improve partners’ quality of life The BCSES-P will be the first scale to measure partners’ cancer-related self-efficacy. This study will highlight a holistic approach to studying the long-term effects of breast cancer on partners.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Insertable devices (IDs) for obstetric fistula (OF) management are feasible, acceptable, but not accessible; implementation determinants in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are unknown. Thus, the purpose of this study was to understand pre-adoption facilitators and barriers among global stakeholders for a therapeutic ID for OF in LMICs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Stakeholders, including researchers (n = 11), clinicians (n = 4), government officials (n = 2), and administrators (n = 4), were purposefully identified from various sectors involved in understanding and addressing the needs of women with OF: clinical care, academia, international health, civil society, and government. Twenty-one individuals were interviewed about their perceptions of IDs for OF self-management and their implementation. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) guided data collection and analysis. Thematic analyses were carried out within Nvivo v.12. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Determinants of implementation of an ID for OF self-management (by CFIR domain) include: (1) intervention characteristics—relative advantage and cost; (2) individual characteristics—knowledge and beliefs about the innovation; (3) inner setting-- organizational culture, implementation climate, tension for change, and compatibility; (4) outer setting-- patient needs and resources and external policy and incentives; (5) process—opinion leaders and collaboration. Facilitators include: tension for change for low-cost, accessible IDs; relative advantage over existing tools; development of partnerships; and identification of implementation champions. Barriers include: need for educational strategies to encourage clinical provider acceptability; lack of evidence of the optimal beneficiary. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Tools for therapeutic OF self-management could be integrated into comprehensive OF programming. Employing the CFIR as an overarching typology allows for comparison across contexts and settings where OF care occurs and may be useful for clinicians, researchers, and policy-makers interested in implementing IDs for OF self-management in LMICs. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DESCRIPTION: I am working with colleagues at the non-profit Restore Health on developing an insertable cup for therapeutic self-management of obstetric fistula in LMICs

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Transportation may be a barrier for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). More individuals with ASD utilize public transportation compared to typically developing (TD) individuals. This study seeks to elucidate the transportation needs of individuals with ASD in the Southeast. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Sixty-one licensed drivers with a diagnosis of ASD (n = 21), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD; n = 19), or no diagnosis (TD; n = 21) were recruited and were matched across diagnosis groups by age (16-30 years old), gender, and IQ. Participants completed an adapted version of the Barriers to Care Scale and a survey assessing transportation preferences and quality of life. Means and frequencies were obtained. Chi-square analyses were conducted to estimate associations between diagnosis and transportation preferences. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Nearly all of the sample had access to a car (98.4%). Yet, only 71.4% of drivers ASD preferred to use their own car compared to 89.5% and 90.5% of the ADHD and TD groups respectively. The use of public transportation (6.6%) and ride-hailing services (18%) for general transportation needs was very low across the groups. There was a significant association between group type and the reliance on others for transportation (χ2(2,61) = 9.9, p < .01). Only 21.1% of those with ADHD relying on others for transportation needs, compared to 61.9% of TD and 66.7% of individuals with ASD. 23.8% of ASD drivers, 10.5% of ADHD drivers, and 9.5% of TD drivers believe transportation proved as an obstacle. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The proportion of ASD drivers who believed transportation to be a barrier appeared slightly higher than other groups. Public transportation use may be low due to lower accessibility to such services in the Southeast. The travel patterns of individuals with ASD and ADHD merits further exploration.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: In 2017, new guidelines recommended multi-step algorithms for CDI diagnosis, and clinical centers rapidly implemented changes despite limited pediatric data. We assessed a multi-step algorithm using NAAT followed by EIA for ability to differentiate symptomatic CDI from colonization in children. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We prospectively enrolled pediatric patients with cancer, cystic fibrosis, or inflammatory bowel disease who were not being tested or treated for CDI and obtained a stool sample for NAAT. If positive by NAAT (colonized), EIA was performed. Children with symptomatic CDI who tested positive by NAAT via the clinical laboratory were also enrolled and EIA performed on residual stool. A functional cell cytotoxicity neutralization assay (CCNA) was performed in addition. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Of the 138 asymptomatic children enrolled, 24 (17%) were colonized. An additional 37 children with symptomatic CDI were enrolled. Neither EIA positivity (41% versus 21%, P = 0.11) or CCNA positivity (49% versus 46%, P = 0.84) were significantly different between symptomatic versus colonized children. When both EIA and CCNA were positive, children were more commonly symptomatic than colonized (33% versus 13%, P = 0.04). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: A multi-step testing algorithm with NAAT and EIA failed to differentiate symptomatic CDI from colonization in our pediatric cohort. As multi-step algorithms are moved into clinical care, pediatric providers will need to be aware of the continued limitations in diagnostic testing.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: There are two objectives: 1) To identify healthcare providers’ (HCP) barriers and potential solutions towards rural adolescents’ access to mental healthcare. Healthcare providers include pharmacists, physicians, and mental healthcare providers (MHPs). 2) To identify rural high schoolers’ barriers and potential solutions towards access to mental healthcare. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Fifteen HCPs will be recruited via email listserv and the snowball method. Perceived barriers of rural adolescents, personal barriers, current practices to address mental health in adolescents, and preferred solutions will be discussed. Twenty student and parent dyads will be recruited using fliers in school systems and will be interviewed individually outside of class time on school grounds or over the phone. Barriers to care and preferred solutions will be discussed. All interviews will be semi-structured, recorded, conducted in person or over the phone, and last for 30 minutes to an hour. Compensation will be $25 for students and parents each, $50 for pharmacists and mental health providers and $100 for physicians. Thematic qualitative data analysis will be performed using Atlas.ti software. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Data collection is ongoing. Anticipated results for barriers include absence of mental healthcare providers in rural areas, inability to access mental healthcare providers further away, stigma towards mental healthcare, and lack of knowledge of mental health conditions and treatment. Anticipated results for potential solutions may include promoting mobile applications to assist with telehealth and self-care. Other solutions may be collaboration among rural healthcare providers for adolescents with mental health conditions. Preferred solutions may also include pharmacists disseminating knowledge to rural adolescents and their parents or referrals to mental healthcare providers. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This project will identify barriers and solutions to access to mental healthcare among rural adolescents. These solutions can then be applied towards the creation of programs that address salient issues within rural communities with a greater chance of uptake and use so that rates of depression and suicide will decrease. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DESCRIPTION: Funding through UAB TL1 award.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Although their 5-year survival >90%, young patients with HL face tradeoffs between near-term disease control and risk of treatment-related adverse effects decades later, so we seek to understand what patients and clinicians value in HL treatment decisions. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Leveraging our access to large cohorts of physicians, HL patients/survivors, and caregivers, we will use adaptive choice-based conjoint analysis (ACBC) to elicit treatment preferences when offered scenarios that incorporate tradeoffs, e.g., would a patient rather live 20 years with 10% risk of second malignancy or live 40 years with 30% of second malignancy. To reduce survey fatigue, prior choice responses limit subsequent scenarios. Through ACBC, we will identify variations in preferences and the importance of disease outcomes, treatment characteristics, and late effects for HL by respondent type. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The goal is a final sample of 200 physicians and 200 patients/caregivers. We will collect demographics from physicians (age, type of physician, years practicing, type of practice, gender, and geography) and patients/caregivers (age at diagnosis, time since treatment, race, gender, smoker, education). We will ask questions about values of disease outcomes, late effects (second cancers, cardiac disease, chronic fatigue and neuropathy), and treatment characteristics (uncertainty of late effects, salvageability). Results will include utilities about participants views on disease-control and late effects. We anticipate participants to value disease control over late effects. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our study will elicit how physicians and patients/caregivers value treatment tradeoffs for HL. In an era of multiple treatment choices with varying short- and long-term benefits and harms, identifying values and preferences become critical for patient-centered treatment decisions.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To identify possible failures that could occur in the delivery of an evidence-based parenting program for mothers with substance use disorders (SUD) through existing home-visiting services, and to develop solutions to the most significant failures. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) methodology, we conducted two 2-hour advisory panel discussions with 15 people from a variety of disciplines and life experiences related to SUDs. The intervention delivery process included five steps: (1) Recruitment, (2) Screening, (3) Matching, (4) Enrollment in person, and (5) Intervention delivery. Participants collectively determined possible failures, causes, and consequences. Participants then agreed on three scores (Likert Scale 0-10) for the likelihood of occurrence, detection, and severity of the failure, with 10 being the highest likelihood, difficulty detecting, or severity. A risk priority number (RPN) was calculated as the product of the 3 scores (maximum RPN = 1,000). The group then identified possible solutions for failures with higher RPNs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: For each step in the process we identified the following number of failure nodes and RPN scores: (1) recruitment: 13 failures; RPN = 800, (2) screening: 102 failures; RPN = 10, (3) matching: 4 failures: RPN = 490, (4) enrollment: 6 failures; RPN = 80, (5) delivery: 11 failures; RPN = 80. The most critical failures related to recruitment and were perceived as being caused by potential development of mistrust in the community. Participants strongly encouraged the use of “strengths-based language,” clear referral plans for mothers that did not qualify, and inclusion of mothers that did not have custody of their children. These findings resulted in changes to the screening script, enrollment procedures, and inclusion criterial for the program. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: FMEA methodology was particularly effective in identifying possible failures for the integration of an evidence-based parenting program into existing home-visiting services as they related to the psychological safety of mothers with SUDs. The process resulted in direct changes to procedures for the anticipated program integration and study.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To validate the previously developed ototoxicity prediction model for objective (i.e., audiometric-defined) hearing loss from cisplatin-based and radiation treatments in a new cohort of head and neck cancer patients treated from 2018 to 2019. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This study will use a cohort of 106 patients undergoing treatment for head and neck cancers at a single institution to temporally validate a model for post-treatment ototoxicity. We are interested in understanding if this model will be able to predict ototoxic risk (calibration) and if this model can differentiate high- and low-risk patients (discrimination). Observed and predicted values for audiometric hearing loss will be calculated and then compared using a calibration curve available in SAS v9.4, while the c-index (area under the receiver-operator curve) will be used to assess discrimination. The implementation of this model will be assessed in a clinical setting. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The validation cohort is generally similar in age (61 years) and sex-mix (23% female) to the original cohort. However, there seems to be a different case-mix the types of treatments with more patients receiving cisplatin overall (59% vs. 43%), but fewer getting induction and high-dose cisplatin (1% vs. 13%). The original model showed good calibration and fair discrimination in the validation cohort with and area under the curve of 0.700. This concordance statistic suggests possibly-useful discrimination and the calibration curve suggests the model is well-calibrated. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This project can improve clinical treatment paradigms, enhance patient education, and reduce healthcare costs. Our model allows oncologists to weigh the risks of hearing loss with the benefits of treatment on an individualized level before treatment, facilitating informed treatment decision-making.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study’s goal is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of using VRM to impact the APP of adults in the inpatient setting. Aims include examining the: 1) feasibility of VRM for APP management; 2) acceptability of using VRM for APP management; and 3) experience of VRM for APP management. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To comprehensively examine participants’ experience of using VRM for APP, this study will employ a convergent mixed-methods design in which living kidney donors (N = 45) will be recruited to serially use VRM during their hospital stay. Feasibility and acceptability will be evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistics evaluating patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures taken pre-, post- and 1-hour post-VRM, PRO measures extracted from the participant’s electronic health record and data on VRM use. Semi-structured interviews will allow formulation of inferences based on participants’ experience of VRM for APP management and their insights on content, deployment, and clinical use of VRM. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: This in-process study expects: 1) an adequate sample of participants undergoing living kidney donor surgery who agree to enroll with retention of >90% of participants (Aim 1); 2) participants to report VRM as an acceptable and suitable treatment, feel “present” and interested in the VR environment, and feel comfortable using VRM in the hospital (Aim 2); and 3) to provide insight into participants’ experience of VRM for APP, understanding of extended VRM use for APP analgesia, examination of key variables affecting participants’ experience of VRM for APP and feedback about VRM procedures and protocol to inform future VRM use for APP management (Aim 3). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Results of the proposed study will inform future clinical testing and deployment of VRM, guide future use of VRM as an adjunct for inpatient APP management, and provide insight into inpatients’ experience of VRM for APP analgesia.
