Intergenerational Effects of the Mother’s History of Neglect and Parental Bonding on Her Postpartum Bonding
The psychological impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on physicians in Puerto Rico
COVID-19 had a lasting psychological impact in health care providers in Puerto Rico a year after the beginning of the pandemic. Our data supports the importance of organizational support and its correlation with the development of anxiety. It is thus essential to develop strategies to identify individuals at risk of experiencing psychological disturbances and to provide effective support for medical professionals during medical emergencies for th…

Estimating Covid-19 cases in Puerto Rico using an automated surveillance system
Due to concerns regarding limited testing and accuracy of estimation of COVID-19 cases, we created an automated surveillance system called “Puerto Rico Epidemiological Evaluation and Prevention of COVID-19 and Influenza” (PREPCOVI) to evaluate COVID-19 incidence and time trends across Puerto Rico. Automated text message invitations were sent to random phone numbers with Puerto Rican area codes. In addition to reported COVID-19 test results, we us…

The Governor of Puerto Rico designated the Puerto Rico Medical Task Force (MTF) COVID-19 to provide direct guidance and evaluation of the government response to the epidemic in Puerto Rico. Several work groups were formed within the MTF to create protocols and prov…
Gendered Racism in the Lives of Black Women
Historically, Black women have experienced multiple adversities due to gendered racism. While research demonstrates that gendered racism is associated with negative physical and mental health implications, little attention has been given to how being Black and female shape Black women's experiences in multiple contexts. This study provided an opportunity for Black women to describe their lived experiences of gendered racism in the United States. …
Playing the race card
Analysing online threads, we show how nativist extremist forum participants use the term "race card" within their anti-illegal immigration rhetoric in three ways. First, they employ abstract liberalism to argue that immigrants use the race card to gain undeserved access to resources. Secondly, participants disassociate the issue of immigration as a racial issue. Both tactics are cloaked within a colour-blind framework. Third, they use a White inj…
Costs and cost-effectiveness of three point-of-use water treatment technologies added to community-based treatment of severe acute malnutrition in Sindh Province, Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is a major global public health concern. Despite the cost-effectiveness of treatment, ministries of health are often unable to commit the required funds which limits service coverage. OBJECTIVE: A randomised controlled trial was conducted in Sindh Province, Pakistan, to assess whether adding a point of use water treatment to the treatment of SAM without complications improved its cost-effectiveness. Thr…
