Seasonal dynamics and burden of respiratory syncytial virus, influenza, and Covid-19 in Brazil
Background: The burden and seasonal patterns of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, and COVID-19 remain poorly characterised in Brazil and other Latin American countries. Understanding their epidemiological patterns is essential to inform public health interventions and preventive strategies. We aimed to assess respiratory virus seasonality using national surveillance data to guide vaccination timing and strengthen preparedness strategi…

Evaluating the Use of an Electronic Death Registration System for Mortality Surveillance During and After Hurricane Sandy
Objectives. We evaluated the use of New York City’s (NYC’s) electronic death registration system (EDRS) to conduct mortality surveillance during and after Hurricane Sandy. Methods. We used Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for surveillance system evaluation to gather evidence on usefulness, flexibility, stability, timeliness, and quality. We assessed system components, interviewed NYC Health Department staff, and analyzed 2010…

Programmatic Impact of 5 Years of Mortality Surveillance of New York City Homeless Populations
A homeless mortality surveillance system identifies emerging trends in the health of the homeless population and provides this information to key stakeholders in a timely and ongoing manner to effect evidence-based, programmatic change. We describe the first 5 years of the New York City homeless mortality surveillance system and, for the first time in peer-reviewed literature, illustrate the impact of key elements of sustained surveillance (i.e.,…
A Case Study of the Impact of Inaccurate Cause-of-Death Reporting on Health Disparity Tracking
Objectives. Heart disease death overreporting is problematic in New York City (NYC) and other US jurisdictions. We examined whether overreporting affects the premature ( Methods. We identified overreporting hospitals and used counts of premature heart disease deaths at reference hospitals to estimate corrected counts. We then corrected citywide, age-adjusted premature heart disease death rates among Blacks and Whites and a White–Black premature h…
NYC Condom Use and Satisfaction and Demand for Alternative Condom Products in New York City Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinics
The Effect of HIV Field-Based Testing on the Proportion of Notified Partners Who Test for HIV in New York City
HIV partner services can effectively reach populations with high HIV prevalence. However, located and notified sex and needle-sharing partners of persons infected with HIV often fail to test. Field testing may increase the proportion of notified partners who test for HIV. In 2008, New York City's health department incorporated field testing into partner services. After the introduction of field testing, the proportion of notified partners who tes…
Unprotected Anal Intercourse and Sexually Transmitted Diseases in High-Risk Heterosexual Women
Objectives. We examined the association between unprotected anal intercourse and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among heterosexual women. Methods. In 2006 through 2007, women were recruited from high-risk areas in New York City through respondent-driven sampling as part of the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance study. We used multiple logistic regression to determine the relationship between unprotected anal intercourse and HIV infection …
Overstating Social Networks' Ability to Diagnose New Cases of Hiv
Kimbrough et al.1 describe a peer-driven, network-oriented strategy as highly efficient for HIV case finding. The study found a 5.6% prevalence rate among tested participants, but did not discuss the possibility that some of these positives may be repeat testers. Our experience in New York City shows that partners and network associates with known HIV diagnoses may not always disclose their HIV status to testers. In 2008, New York City's Departme…
The NYC Condom
We assessed awareness and experience with the NYC Condom via surveys at 7 public events targeting priority condom distribution populations during 2007. Most respondents (76%) were aware of NYC Condoms. Of those that had obtained them, 69% had used them. Most (80%) wanted alternative condoms offered for free: 22% wanted ultra-thin, 18% extra-strength, and 14% larger-size. Six months after the NYC Condom launch, we found high levels of awareness an…
HIV Counseling and Testing
Approximately 25% of persons infected with HIV nationwide remain undiagnosed.1 Identifying these individuals represents the biggest challenge for HIV control in the United States. More timely diagnosis of HIV can improve treatment and care of those infected with HIV, prolong survival, and reduce the spread of HIV. The impact of these late testers on the dynamics of the epidemic is well characterized by the number of persons who are identified wit…
