Poor Oral HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Persistence in an Integrated PrEP/STI Program in Malawi
The integration of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) into STI services can improve PrEP uptake among a population at elevated risk of acquiring HIV. The effectiveness of PrEP relies on ongoing coverage during periods of HIV risk, however, and little is known about longitudinal PrEP use among people accessing PrEP through STI clinics in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we analyzed routine records data from people who newly initiated PrEP at an…
A life course approach to understanding associations between natural environments and mental well-being for the Danish blood donor cohort
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Risk of Subsequently Engaging in Self-Harm and Violence towards Other People—“Dual Harm”
The etiology of "dual harm" (the co-occurrence of self-harm and externalized violence in the same individual) is under-researched. Risk factors have mostly been investigated for each behavior separately. We aimed to examine adversities experienced between birth and age 15 years among adolescents and young adults with histories of self-harm and violent criminality, with a specific focus on dual harm. Three nested case-control studies were delineat…
Discovery of the first genome-wide significant risk loci for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable childhood behavioral disorder affecting 5% of children and 2.5% of adults. Common genetic variants contribute substantially to ADHD susceptibility, but no variants have been robustly associated with ADHD. We report a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 20,183 individuals diagnosed with ADHD and 35,191 controls that identifies variants surpassing genome-wide significance in…
Identification of common genetic risk variants for autism spectrum disorder
Residential green space in childhood is associated with lower risk of psychiatric disorders from adolescence into adulthood
Urban residence is associated with a higher risk of some psychiatric disorders, but the underlying drivers remain unknown. There is increasing evidence that the level of exposure to natural environments impacts mental health, but few large-scale epidemiological studies have assessed the general existence and importance of such associations. Here, we investigate the prospective association between green space and mental health in the Danish popula…

Attempted suicide and violent criminality among Danish second-generation immigrants according to parental place of origin
BACKGROUND: Immigrant populations in Western European countries have grown in their size and diversity, but little is known about risks of self-directed and externalised violence among second-generation immigrants. AIMS: To compare risks for attempted suicides and violent offending among second-generation immigrants to Denmark according to parental region of origin versus the native Danish population. METHODS: Data from interlinked national Danis…
National cohort study of absolute risk and age-specific incidence of multiple adverse outcomes between adolescence and early middle age
This is the first comprehensive assessment of the incidence rates and absolute risks of these multiple adverse outcomes. Approximately 1 in 50 males and 1 in 120 females who are alive on their 15th birthday will die by age 40. By examining the same cohort at risk, we compared risks for multiple outcomes without differential inter-cohort biases. These epidemiological profiles will inform further research into the pathways leading to these adverse …
The Danish Civil Registration System
Introduction: The Danish Civil Registration System (CRS) was established in 1968, and all persons alive and living in Denmark were registered for administrative use. Content: CRS includes individual information on the unique personal identification number, name, gender, date of birth, place of birth, citizenship, identity of parents and continuously updated information on vital status, place of residence and spouses. Validity and coverage: Since …
Muskoxen in Angujaartorfiup Nunaa, West Greenland
In the 1960s, 27 muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) were introduced to Angujaartorfiup Nunaa, which is located next to Kangerlussuaq Airport in West Greenland. Data from 12 aerial surveys of muskoxen from 1986 to 1996 show 1) that the population has stabilized at 3000 muskoxen since hunting was initiated in 1988, 2) that the population has maintained a high level of reproduction during the study period, and 3) that an annual kill of about 700 muskoxen w…
