How to incorporate social vulnerability into epidemic mathematical modelling
Global hotspots and correlates of emerging zoonotic diseases
Zoonoses originating from wildlife represent a significant threat to global health, security and economic growth, and combatting their emergence is a public health priority. However, our understanding of the mechanisms underlying their emergence remains rudimentary. Here we update a global database of emerging infectious disease (EID) events, create a novel measure of reporting effort, and fit boosted regression tree models to analyze the demogra…

Predictors of flu vaccination among urban Hispanic children and adults
BACKGROUND: Flu vaccination is effective for preventing infection, but coverage levels in the USA remain low-especially among racial/ethnic minorities. This study examines factors associated with flu vaccination in a predominantly Hispanic community in Manhattan, New York. METHODS: Households were recruited during the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 flu seasons. Primary household respondents were interviewed to determine knowledge of flu transmission/tre…

Effectiveness of an Emergency Preparedness Training Program for Public Health Nurses in New York City
A public health workforce that is competent to respond to emergencies is extremely important. We report on the impact of a training program designed to prepare public health nurses to respond appropriately to emergencies. The program focused on the basic public health emergency preparedness competencies and the emergency response role of public health workers employed by the New York City School Department of Health and Mental Hygiene School Heal…
Biological and chemical terrorism
September 11
The horrific terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and 4 commercial airliners have seared unspeakable images into our memories. In the wake of the attacks, various sectors of our society—including public health professionals, academics, and community workers—have been reexamining their preparedness for future assaults. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to strengthen the US public health infrastructure. The initial …
Factors in the Emergence of Infectious Diseases
"Emerging" infectious diseases can be defined as infections that have newly appeared in a population or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Among recent examples are HIV/AIDS, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Lyme disease, and hemolytic uremic syndrome (a foodborne infection caused by certain strains of Escherichia coli). Specific factors precipitating disease emergence can be identified in virtually all cases.…

Epidemiologic Surveillance for Investigating Chemical or Biological Warfare and for Improving Human Health
Peter Barss makes a compelling case both for the value of epidemiology in investigating suspected use of chemical, biological, or toxin warfare (CBTW), and for consistency in epidemiologic procedures. Since John Snow in the nineteenth century, “armed only with [his] five senses and [his] notebook,” carried out his pioneering epidemiologic investigations to determine the source of the cholera epidemic then raging in London, the value of epidemiolo…
