Correlates of behavioral and emotional disorders among school-going adolescents in Uganda
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a critical development transition period that increases vulnerability to poor mental health outcomes. Recent evidence suggests that adolescents in Uganda experience high rates of behavioral and emotional disorders. We examined the factors associated with emotional and behavioral health outcomes among school-going adolescents in Uganda. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed 1,953 students aged 10-18 enrolle…
A comparison of traumatic injury characteristics in rural and urban adults living in Wisconsin
PURPOSE: Rural compared to urban populations have higher age-adjusted injury mortality rates. We sought to describe differences in traumatic injury mechanisms, severity, and mortality in Wisconsin adults in rural and urban areas. METHODS: State trauma registry data were analyzed for adult patients injured in 2021-2022. The Wisconsin Health Innovation Program's rural and urban classification scheme, consisting of urban advantaged, urban, urban und…
Effect of intimate partner violence on depression severity among women in informal settlements of Uganda
The increase in depression severity among women exposed to IPV underscores the compounding effects of IPV during early phases of the pandemic. Public health responses to outbreaks should integrate mental health support and violence prevention strategies, particularly for women experiencing IPV. Future research should explore the long-term impact of the pandemic on mental health, especially in informal settlements
Prevalence and factors associated with alcohol and substance use among secondary school adolescents in central and Eastern Uganda
Targeted school-based interventions addressing sex-specific risks, and urban-rural disparities in mental health may help reduce use of alcohol, substances and SUD impairment among adolescent students in central and eastern Uganda

Examining the role of social vulnerability, neighborhood characteristics, and geospatial patterns of firearm-related injuries and clinical outcomes in Milwaukee county
In Milwaukee County, firearm injury patients are injured in and often return to the same disadvantaged neighborhoods that may hamper recovery. Results replicate and expand previous work and implicate specific socioenvironmental factors for intervention and prevention of firearm injury
Intimate partner violence and antenatal care utilization predictors in Uganda
Addressing enabling and healthcare system/environmental factors may increase ANC utilization among Ugandan women experiencing IPV. Prevention and response interventions for IPV should include strategies to increase girls' higher education completion rates, improve women's financial autonomy, and mass media exposure to improve ANC utilization in similar populations in Uganda

Recent studies have suggested that individuals working in certain occupations may be at increased risk for suicide. While occupation is an individual-level factor, one's work is situated in organizations, communities, and societies that are impacted by policies and systems. Analysis of existing data has identified that farmers are among those with elevated rates of suicide. This qualitative study reports themes that capture the experience of farm…
Adherence to Covid-19 preventive measures and its association with intimate partner violence among women in informal settings of Kampala, Uganda
Cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) detected, and COVID-19 associated mortality increased since the first case was confirmed in Uganda. While adherence to WHO-recommended measures to disrupt COVID-19 transmission has since been implemented, it has been reported to be sub-optimal. An increase in intimate partner violence (IPV) cases was linked to enforcement of COVID-19 lockdowns and other preventive measures especially in informal settin…
Ecological Study of Variability in the Relationship between Liver Cancer Mortality and Racial Residential Segregation
Racial segregation has been identified as a predictor for the burden of cancer in several different metropolitan areas across the United States. This ecological study tested relationships between racial segregation and liver cancer mortality across several different metropolitan statistical areas in Wisconsin. Tract-level liver cancer mortality rates were calculated using cases from 2003-2012. Hotspot analysis was conducted and segregation scores…
Understanding Etiologies of Road Traffic Crashes, Injuries, and Death for Patients at National Hospital Abuja
Road traffic crashes and sequelae are reaching pandemic proportions globally and have currently achieved disproportionately high levels in Nigeria. Quantitative studies are accumulating in the peer-reviewed literature, but there is a paucity of qualitative research in Nigeria. Data for this study of structural and behavioral factors of road traffic crashes and injuries in Federal Capital Territory were collected in semi-structured interviews with…
Latino Acculturation and Periodontitis Status Among Mexican-Origin Adults in the United States
This study examined the association between Latino acculturation indicators (language and citizenship/nativity status) and periodontitis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2012. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses were performed and all analyses were adjusted for the complex survey design. Results showed that 63.2% of participants had periodontitis: 9.4% mild, 37.9% moderate, and…
