Transforming academia for equity: Implementation at the University of Memphis
In 2022, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s (RWJF) Transforming Academia for Equity grant program, and in partnership with the Association of Schools and Programs in Public Health (ASPPH) the University of Memphis (UofM) School of Public Health (SPH) began a systematic, coordinated process to develop and implement a strategic plan of action that provides an inclusive culture and supports historically excluded and minoritized s…
Trauma exposure and post‐traumatic stress symptoms among Syrian refugee youth in Jordan: Social support and gender as moderators
This study assessed relations between exposure to trauma and post‐traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and whether perceived social support from family and friends and gender moderated these associations. Syrian refugee youth ( N = 418, 55.0% female) attending public schools in Jordan participated. Boys reported more age‐adjusted PTS symptoms than girls. Analyses revealed that family support and gender moderated the association of trauma on PTS sympt…
The Effect of Strict State Measures on the Epidemiologic Curve of Covid-19 Infection in the Context of a Developing Country: A Simulation from Jordan
COVID-19 has posed an unprecedented global public health threat and caused a significant number of severe cases that necessitated long hospitalization and overwhelmed health services in the most affected countries. In response, governments initiated a series of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that led to severe economic and social impacts. The effect of these intervention measures on the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic are not well invest…
Forecasting future prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Syria
The future projections of T2DM in Syria put it amongst countries with the highest levels of T2DM worldwide. It is estimated that by 2022 approximately a fifth of the Syrian population aged 25 years and older will have T2DM
Explaining the increase in coronary heart disease mortality in Syria between 1996 and 2006
Most of the recent increase in CHD mortality in Syria is attributable to increases in major cardiovascular risk factors. Treatments for CHD were able to prevent about a quarter of excess CHD deaths, despite suboptimal implementation. These findings stress the importance of population-based primary prevention strategies targeting major risk factors for CHD, as well as policies aimed at improving access and adherence to modern treatments of CHD
Design, Baseline Results of Irbid Longitudinal, School-based Smoking Study
Water-pipe smoking is more prevalent than cigarette smoking at this early age
The association of birth weight with arterial stiffness at mid-adulthood: The Bogalusa Heart Study
BACKGROUND: Birth weight has been found to predict cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, has been associated with cardiovascular risk factors. An association between birth weight and blood pressure (BP) has previously been reported. In this study, the association of birth weight with PWV, and the relationship between birth weight, pulse wave velocity and BP in mid-adulthood were investi…
The tobacco epidemic in Syria
All these data have been used iteratively to adapt smoking cessation interventions from developed countries to suit the local Syrian environment. Research conducted in the SCTS to date has provided a fertile training ground for Syrian researchers, as well as for the building of regional collaborations
