The urinary bladder is a hollow organ that undergoes significant deformation as it receives, stores, and releases urine. To understand the organ mechanics, it is necessary to obtain information about the material properties of the tissues involved. In displacement-controlled tensile tests, tissue samples are mounted on a device that applies stretches to the tissue in one or more directions, resulting in a specific stress response.

Sexually minoritized men (SMM), transgender women (TW), and particularly Black SMM and Black TW may be disproportionately impacted by alcohol-related problems. Few studies have empirically examined neighborhood factors that may contribute to alcohol use, specifically among these populations. Using data from the N2 longitudinal cohort study in Chicago, IL, survey data from the second wave of longitudinal assessment (n = 126) and GPS mobility data from enrollment were used to evaluate neighborhood alcohol outlet availability, neighborhood disorder, and neighborhood poverty as correlates of individual alcohol use.
