Labor migration is prevalent in Nepal, however, the psychosocial impacts on left-behind families remain underexplored. This study aims to address this gap by examining the lived experiences, coping mechanisms, and social dynamics of left-behind family members in Chitwan District, Nepal. This qualitative study employed a modified phenomenological approach, incorporating in-depth interviews (n = 18) and two focus groups (n = 11) with left-behind fa…
Guardians Looking From Outside
Nepalese migrant workers are at heightened risk of adverse mental health problems. However, the social mechanisms by which experiences of labor migration create such vulnerabilities are not well understood. Moreover, limited attention has been paid to the experiences of left-behind spouses. This study explores how migrant fathers and left-behind mothers experience labor migration and how migration affects mental health across migrant household me…
Predictors of seropositivity to Sars-CoV-2 among employees at a large urban medical center
Among workers in a large urban medical center, SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity was associated with work-related COVID-19 close contacts and low mask use outside of work, suggesting that non-workplace close contacts are also relevant routes of COVID-19 spread among healthcare workers

Barriers and facilitators to Covid-19 testing among staff and parents from San Diego schools
COVID-19 testing is an important risk mitigation strategy for COVID-19 prevention in school settings, where the virus continues to pose a public health challenge for in-person learning. Socially vulnerable school communities with the highest proportion of low-income, minority, and non-English speaking families have the least testing access despite shouldering a disproportionate burden of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Through the Safer at Scho…
Emotional distress among frontline research staff
Public health research frequently deals with sensitive topics. A growing body of evidence suggests that frontline researchers who elicit or process participant's traumatic experiences are themselves at risk of developing emotional distress or secondary trauma from daily immersion in these data. This both threatens a study's data quality and calls into question how the harms and benefits of conducting research are distributed across a study team. …
Pictorial Narrative Mapping as a Qualitative Analytic Technique
Qualitative analysis is often a textual undertaking. However, it can be helpful to think about and represent study phenomena or narrative accounts in nontextual ways. In this article, we share our unique and artistic process in developing and employing pictorial narrative mapping as a qualitative analytic technique. We recast a nontextual, artistic-analytic technique by combining elements related to narrative mapping and narrative art. This techn…
