Tailoring a Skills-Based Serostatus Disclosure Intervention for Transgender Women in South Africa: Protocol for a Usability and Feasibility Study

Tailoring a Skills-Based Serostatus Disclosure Intervention for Transgender Women in South Africa: Protocol for a Usability and Feasibility Study

Transgender women’s health and safety remain compromised in South Africa, inhibiting their ability to engage in HIV services to lower transmission risk and improve their overall wellness, and compounding these health outcomes are poor relationship dynamics. Being in an unhealthy or imbalanced relationship for transgender women can lower their HIV testing behaviors and increase rates of condomless anal intercourse with partners to create trust and intimacy [9-13].

User Experience of a Bespoke Videoconferencing System for Web-Based Family Visitation for Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: 1-Year Cross-Sectional Survey of Nursing Staff

User Experience of a Bespoke Videoconferencing System for Web-Based Family Visitation for Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: 1-Year Cross-Sectional Survey of Nursing Staff

These restrictive policies were introduced to decrease the risk of transmission of COVID-19 in health care settings [4]. These policies have been shown to be extremely isolating for patients, distressing for family members, and even hampering clinical care provided by health care professionals [1,6]. In particular, patients who are critically ill or vulnerable are often reliant on family for support, and at times, families are surrogate decision makers for patients.

The Effects of MyChoices and LYNX Mobile Apps on HIV Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Use by Young US Sexual Minority Men: Results From a National Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effects of MyChoices and LYNX Mobile Apps on HIV Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Use by Young US Sexual Minority Men: Results From a National Randomized Controlled Trial

Young sexual minority men are also the least likely to be aware of their HIV status, further enhancing HIV transmission risks and delaying HIV care [2]. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends all sexually active sexual minority men get tested for HIV at least annually, and consider testing more often (ie, every 3 to 6 months) for sexual minority men who are sexually active [3].

Contribution of Travelers to Plasmodium Vivax Malaria in South West Delhi, India: Cross-Sectional Survey

Contribution of Travelers to Plasmodium Vivax Malaria in South West Delhi, India: Cross-Sectional Survey

These entomological and fever surveys and RACD were done to further identify any ongoing transmission in the areas visited by patients with imported malaria to support the hypothesis that these are indeed the cases likely to import malaria from areas with ongoing transmission to SWD. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of ICMR-NIMR (ECR/NIMR/EC/2015/507 and ECR/NIMR/EC/2019/175). Informed consent was obtained from all human participants who were involved in the study.

Updated Surveillance Metrics and History of the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-2023) in Canada: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

Updated Surveillance Metrics and History of the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-2023) in Canada: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

Field epidemiology defines terms of pandemic, epidemic, outbreak, and endemic based on transmission metrics and geographical distribution. While public health surveillance data suffer from incomplete case ascertainment, they provide the best proxy to monitor and track the spread of disease within a population in near real time, which is essential to timely responses to health threats [11].

Advancing Public Health Surveillance in Child Care Centers: Stakeholder-Informed Redesign and User Satisfaction Evaluation of the MCRISP Network

Advancing Public Health Surveillance in Child Care Centers: Stakeholder-Informed Redesign and User Satisfaction Evaluation of the MCRISP Network

Child care centers are important hubs for monitoring respiratory and gastrointestinal illness transmission [1,2]. The Michigan Child Care Related Infection Surveillance Program (MCRISP) is a free website that empowers ~25 regional child care centers to submit illness reports and leverages that data to provide public health illness surveillance locally [3]. MCRISP has demonstrated functionality for sentinel reporting for outbreaks [4,5].

Exploring Dynamic Changes in HIV-1 Molecular Transmission Networks and Key Influencing Factors: Cross-Sectional Study

Exploring Dynamic Changes in HIV-1 Molecular Transmission Networks and Key Influencing Factors: Cross-Sectional Study

Consequently, conventional epidemiological investigations, including behavioral surveys, exposure history assessments, and contact tracing, encounter difficulties in analyzing the structure and attributes of HIV transmission networks [11]. Alternative approaches and methodologies may need to be considered to overcome these difficulties and obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the HIV transmission network.

Updated Surveillance Metrics and History of the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-2023) in Latin America and the Caribbean: Longitudinal Trend Analysis

From a public health perspective, we needed to know whether the rate of new COVID-19 cases was increasing, decreasing, or stable from week to week and whether any changes in the transmission rate indicated an acceleration or deceleration of the pandemic.

Pediatric and Young Adult Household Transmission of the Initial Waves of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States: Administrative Claims Study

Pediatric and Young Adult Household Transmission of the Initial Waves of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States: Administrative Claims Study

We also compared the relative infectivity (as the odds ratios [ORs] of SARS-Co V-2 transmission) between 4 pediatric index case age groups (0 to 4 years, 5 to 11 years, 12 to 17 years, and 18 to 25 years) while adjusting for other factors such as family size, quarter of infection, and residential regions to understand the early SARS-Co V-2 transmission dynamics. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis on the household transmission of SARS-Co V-2 using deidentified administrative claims.

Decreased Seasonal Influenza Rates Detected in a Crowdsourced Influenza-Like Illness Surveillance System During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prospective Cohort Study

Decreased Seasonal Influenza Rates Detected in a Crowdsourced Influenza-Like Illness Surveillance System During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prospective Cohort Study

This alignment of trends displays the importance of complementing traditional surveillance with participatory systems [20,21], and further suggests that prevention measures for COVID-19 may have secondarily reduced transmission of seasonal influenza. FNY participants have historically reported influenza vaccination rates around 80% [22], compared to under 50% in the US population [23-25].
