Information exposure and economic losses during food safety outbreaks
Before 2020, fresh onions were rarely associated with major foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States. However, two major multistate outbreaks in 2020 and 2021 resulted in over 2000 reported illnesses and substantial economic losses. This study examined consumer and market responses to onion-related foodborne outbreaks occurring between 2017 and 2021, using household panel and retail scanner data through May 2022. We introduced Google Tren…
Environmental risk factors associated with community diarrheal disease in Ethiopia
Multiple environmental factors for diarrhea were identified. Given the variation in factors by site, strategies for intervention and management should be community-specific. These factors can be managed through improved water treatment, sanitation practices, and educational programs focused on proper hygiene. Efforts to manage these factors can potentially reduce the burden of diarrheal diseases
Facilitating Evaluation of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Long-Term Health Outcomes Through Social Media Support Groups
Individual burden and cost of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)—a medical condition characterized by acute kidney failure—can be substantial when accounting for long-term health outcomes (LTHOs). Because of the low incidence of HUS, evaluation of associated LTHOs is often restricted to physician and outbreak cohorts, both of which may not be representative of all HUS cases. This exploratory study recruited participants from private social media sup…

The Heterogeneity in Financial and Time Burden of Caregiving to Children with Chronic Conditions
Evaluating Chronic Disease for Heterogeneous Populations
BACKGROUND: Cost-effectiveness evaluation for health care programs often involves the use of quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) estimates to measure morbidity losses from health conditions. Current techniques for measuring morbidity losses are often subjective, inflexible, impractical, and subject to bias. OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine the impact of population heterogeneity on QALY values for arthritis sufferers by estimating an alternative heal…
