Preventable trauma deaths in the Western Cape of South Africa: A consensus-based panel review
Injury causes 4.4 million deaths worldwide annually. 90% of all injury-related deaths occur in low-and-middle income countries. Findings from expert-led trauma death reviews can inform strategies to reduce trauma deaths. A cohort of trauma decedents was identified from an on-going study in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. For each case, demographics, injury characteristics, time and location of death and postmortem findings were collect…
The role of contraception in preventing HIV-positive births: Global estimates and projections
Contraception continues to play an integral role in global HIV prevention efforts in the era of increasing HIV treatment coverage, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Broad contraceptive availability, increased contraceptive voluntarism and method mix are key components to preventing unintended births and ending new infant HIV infections worldwide
Assessing differential impacts of Covid-19 on black communities
Purpose: Given incomplete data reporting by race, we used data on COVID-19 cases and deaths in U.S. counties to describe racial disparities in COVID-19 disease and death and associated determinants. Methods: Using publicly available data (accessed April 13, 2020), predictors of COVID-19 cases and deaths were compared between disproportionately (≥13%) black and all other (<13% black) counties. Rate ratios were calculated, and population attributab…

Mapping the impact of the expanded Mexico City Policy for HIV/ family planning service integration in Pepfar-supported countries: A risk index
This analysis highlights where and why the EMCP may have the greatest impact on FP/HIV service integration. The possible disruption of service integration in countries with generalized HIV epidemics highlights significant risks. Researchers, national governments, and non-U.S. funders can consider these risk factors to help target their responses to the EMCP and mitigate potential harms of the policy
Impact of Medicaid Expansion on Access to Opioid Analgesic Medications and Medication-Assisted Treatment
Objectives. To assess the impact of the expansion of Medicaid eligibility in the United States on the opioid epidemic, as measured through increased access to opioid analgesic medications and medication-assisted treatment. Methods. Using Medicaid enrollment and reimbursement data from 2011 to 2016 in all states, we evaluated prescribing patterns of opioids and the 3 Food and Drug Administration–approved medications used in treating opioid use dis…
Truth and Deception in Aids Information Brochures
This essay documents state governmental subversion of expansive constructions of HIV-disease. While it is clear that governments frequently practice deception and secrecy with the justification that the public would become dangerously emotional and irrational if fully informed, there is no evidence that the public would, in fact, behave that way. The essay concludes with a ranking of state AIDS brochures for accuracy and totality of information
Verbal Reinforcement Combinations and Examiner-Subject Interaction in the Verbal Learning of Normal and Schizophrenic Subjects
This study tested the hypothesis that the schizophrenic's over-responsiveness to social censure accounts for the schizophrenic's impairment in learning in a generalization paradigm. The hypothesis was investigated in two studies eliminating stress, task complexity, and the effects of subject-examiner interactions. The results support the original hypothesis, but suggest that the effects are subtle and somewhat transitory. The data are difficult t…
Learning as a Function of Subliminal Reinforcements
Three studies were conducted to assess the effects of subliminal reinforcements on learning. In the first two, Ss were given a discrimination task in which five geometric forms, repeated over 100 trials, were to be assigned to one of two categories. The categories were unbalanced; four geometric forms comprised one category, the remaining form the other. Response was required on each trial. Immediately after each response, the appropriate reinfor…
