Tackle the Problem When It Gets Here
Globally, governments and health authorities are preparing for pandemic influenza and producing resources to promote preparedness planning; however, there is little information available to inform the design of strategies to promote preparedness. Three focus groups were conducted to identify and to describe beliefs and perceptions about pandemic influenza and response planning among small and medium business owners and managers. Most participants…
Influenza pandemic preparedness
Our findings suggest that small and medium businesses in Australia are not currently well prepared for pandemic influenza. We found that beliefs about the risk, severity, and the ability to respond effectively to the threat of pandemic influenza are important predictors of preparedness. Campaigns targeting small and medium businesses should emphasise the severity of the consequences to their businesses if a pandemic were to occur, and, at the sam…
Factors associated with nosocomial Sars-CoV transmission among healthcare workers in Hanoi, Vietnam, 2003
This study highlights job categories and activities associated with increased risk for SARS-CoV infection and demonstrates that a broad diversity of hospital workers may be vulnerable during an outbreak. These findings may help guide recommendations for the protection of vulnerable occupational groups and may have implications for other respiratory infections such as influenza
Approaches to the evaluation of outbreak detection methods
The varied nature of performance evaluation demonstrated in this review supports the need for further development of evaluation methods to improve comparability between studies. Our findings indicate that no single approach can fulfil all evaluation requirements. We propose that the cornerstone approaches to evaluation identified provide key contributions to support internal and external validity and comparability of study findings, and suggest t…
Pathways to Treatment for Tuberculosis in Bali
The authors explored treatment-seeking behavior among people with tuberculosis (TB) in Bali, Indonesia. They conducted in-depth interviews with 5 people who had been diagnosed with TB and 6 people who were suspected of having TB but who had not yet received a diagnosis. Participants reported frequent delays in obtaining a diagnosis of TB and obtaining adequate treatment. The authors describe issues associated with treatment-seeking behavior using…
Research note Individual characteristics and expectations about opportunities in Australia among prospective Vietnamese migrants
The objective of this study was to describe the expectations about future opportunities in Australia among prospective Vietnamese migrants, and the association of these expectations with individual characteristics. We surveyed 1,352 prospective Vietnamese migrants aged 16 years or more who were recruited from a pre-departure medical screening programme for an Australian visa. Prospective migrants generally believed that future educational, socio-…
