Estimating the seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 antibodies
The extent of a population’s overall immune response to SARS-CoV-2 is a critical indicator for determining the actual spread of COVID-19 infection. The level of specific immunity against COVID-19 will depend on the intensity of the virus circulation in the community, the extent of preventive measures in place, the number and size of the most [...]

The Association Between Race, Obesity, and Sperm Quality Among Men Attending a University Physician Practice in Washington, DC
A decades-long decline in sperm counts in Western countries has coincided with an increase in obesity rates, prompting study into their association. Few of these studies have incorporated men of color, the sperm health of whom is relatively unknown. The present exploratory study evaluated the association between body mass index (BMI), race, ethnicity, and sperm parameters among a diverse sample of U.S. men attending a Washington, DC physician pra…
Talking About Public Health With African American Men
While the past two decades have seen rapid advances in research demonstrating links between environmental health and reproductive capacity, African American men have largely been overlooked as study participants. To give voice to the perceptions of urban African American men, the present qualitative study conducted focus groups of men recruited from street- and internet-based advertisements in Washington, DC. Participants were asked for their per…

Clinical consequences of road traffic injuries among the elderly in Japan
Injury circumstances and nature of injuries associated with traffic incidents showed different patterns by age groups, particularly among the elderly
Tracking Gender-Based Human Rights Violations in Postwar Kosovo
Four years have passed since the institution of the cease-fire in Yugoslavia, and questions remain as to how Kosovar women are faring in the country’s postwar reconstruction. Reports, albeit fragmented, suggest that violence against women began to increase in 1998 and 1999. This trend continued through 2001, even while rates of other major crimes decreased. Despite considerable local efforts to address the conditions of women, there remains a lac…
Children's Agricultural Health
Context: Farming is one of the most hazardous occupational industries in the USA, and farms pose numerous health risks for youth visiting, living in, or working in the farm environment Purpose: This review discusses both potential traumatic injuries and hazardous inorganic exposures that are common in agricultural settings Findings: An estimated 2 million youth under the age of 20 currently live or work on US farms. Approximately 103 farm fatalit…

Perceptions of Pesticide Associated Cancer Risks among Farmers
American farmers experience disenfranchisement in occupational and health status that places them at excess risk for injury and disease. Cancer morbidity and mortality investigations have documented excess rates of specific cancers among agricultural workers, and occupational pesticide exposure is thought to be a contributing etiologic agent. We report on a qualitative investigation of dairy farmers' awareness of cancer and their perceptions of p…

Gender, Race and Economic Perspectives on the Social Epidemiology of HIV Infection
Economic and social causes of sexism and of the exploitation of women
Psychologists have neglected the role of the social, economic and political systems in determining behaviour. Rather, our field, consciously or unconsciously, has been instrumental in upholding the status quo. We have accepted society's ruling ideas that perpetuate exploitation, especially of women in the world of work. Women are often the last to be hired and the first to be fired. They are employed part-time and fired early to avoid the cost of…

HIV risk behaviors among women living in low-income, inner-city housing developments
OBJECTIVES. This study describes the prevalence and predictors of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk behaviors among women living in low-income, inner-city housing developments. METHODS. Anonymous questionnaires were administered to 671 women living in 10 inner-city, low-income housing developments in five US cities to determine their levels of HIV risk behavior and predictors of HIV risk practices. RESULTS. Approximately one third of women …
HIV antibody testing of gay men in smaller US cities
The incidence of new AIDS diagnoses among gay males indicates that risk reduction in smaller communities may be lagging behind that reported in larger cities. Contradictory evidence exists, largely from urban areas, concerning the utility of HIV testing as a means of promoting behavioural change. This study examined the relationship between HIV antibody testing and subsequent high-risk sexual behaviours among gay men in cities of 180,000 or fewer…
