Determinants of knowledge and attitudes toward personal protective equipment use among commercial motorcycle riders in a conflict-affected region of Cameroon: Implications for road safety in Sub-Sahar…
Background: Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death globally, disproportionately affecting motorcyclists in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as helmets and visibility materials substantially reduce injury severity, yet their consistent use remains suboptimal in many African settings. In conflict-affected areas, where displacement and informal transport systems are common, safety behavio…
Epidemiological patterns of motorcycle-related injuries in Cameroon: A comparative analysis of motorcycle users and pedestrians
Motorcycles are a common mode of transport in major Cameroonian cities, contributing to a rising burden of injuries among both users and pedestrians. These groups differ in exposure, mechanisms, and vulnerability, yet both bear a disproportionately high injury burden. However, comparative data on their epidemiological patterns and outcomes remain scarce. To support targeted prevention policies, we analysed trauma registry data to describe demogra…
Who seeks care after intimate partner violence in Cameroon? sociodemographic differences between a hospital and population sample of women
Introduction Little is known regarding health care seeking behaviors of women in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically Cameroon, who experience violence. The proportion of women who experienced violence enrolled in the Cameroon Trauma Registry (CTR) is lower than expected. Methods We concatenated the databases from the October 2017-December 2020 CTR and 2018 Cameroon Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) into a singular database for cross-sectional stud…
Early-Life Home Environment and Obesity in a Mexican American Birth Cohort: The CHAMACOS Study
OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the impact of the home environment on biomarkers of obesity, such as adipokines, in children. In this study, we examined the relationship of maternal depressive symptoms and potentially protective social factors, including maternal support and the home learning environment, with body mass index and adipokines. METHODS: Data were obtained from 326 Mexican American participants from the Center for the Health Assessm…
Excessive Gestational Weight Gain and Subsequent Maternal Obesity at Age 40: A Hypothetical Intervention
Objectives. To model the hypothetical impact of preventing excessive gestational weight gain on midlife obesity and compare the estimated reduction with the US Healthy People 2020 goal of a 10% reduction of obesity prevalence in adults. Methods. We analyzed 3917 women with 1 to 3 pregnancies in the prospective US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, from 1979 to 2012. We compared the estimated obesity prevalence between 2 scenarios: gestational…
Predicting the Population Health Impacts of Community Interventions: The Case of Alcohol Outlets and Binge Drinking
A substitution estimator can be used to predict how shifts in population exposures might change health. We illustrated this method by estimating how an upper limit on alcohol outlet density might alter binge drinking in the New York Social Environment Study (n = 4000), and provided statistical code and sample data. The largest differences in binge drinking were for an upper limit of 70 outlets per square mile; there was a −0.7% difference in bing…
Alcohol Outlets and Binge Drinking in Urban Neighborhoods: The Implications of Nonlinearity for Intervention and Policy
Objectives. Alcohol outlet density has long been associated with alcohol-related harms, and policymakers have endorsed alcohol outlet restriction to reduce these harms. However, potential nonlinearity in the relation between outlet density and alcohol consumption has not been rigorously examined. Methods. We used data from the New York Social Environment Study (n = 4000) to examine the shape of the relation between neighborhood alcohol outlet den…

Predictive value of serial measurements of quality of life on all-cause mortality in prostate cancer patients: Data from CaPSURETM (cancer of the prostate strategic urologic research endeavor) databas…
This study demonstrated that several domains of HRQOL were significantly associated with survival in a large group of patients with localized prostate cancer. This association was maintained over the course of disease regardless of the time of the assessment. Results from our study have both research and clinical relevance. They could provide information that enable us to not only improve communication with patients and families, but also to deve…
