Potential implementation strategies, acceptability, and feasibility of new and repurposed TB vaccines
Recently, two Phase 2B tuberculosis vaccine trials reported positive efficacy results in adolescents and adults. However, experience in vaccinating these age groups is limited. We identified potential implementation strategies for the M72/AS01 E vaccination and BCG-revaccination-like candidates and explored their acceptability and feasibility. We conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews among key decision makers to identify implementation st…

Disregarding the restrictive vial-opening policy for BCG vaccine in Guinea-Bissau: Impact and cost-effectiveness for tuberculosis mortality and all-cause mortality in children aged 0–4 years
OBJECTIVE: BCG vaccination is frequently delayed in low-income countries. Restrictive vial-opening policies, where a vial of BCG vaccine is not opened for few children, are a major reason for delay. During delays, children are unprotected against tuberculosis (TB) and deprived of non-specific effects of BCG. We assessed the potential effect and cost-effectiveness of disregarding the restrictive vial-opening policy, on TB and all-cause mortality, …
State responses to biotechnology: Legislative action and policymaking in the U.S., 1990–2010

Policies regarding health insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance, DNA data bank collection, biotech research protection, biotech promotion and support, employment discrimination, genetic counselor licensing, human cloning, and genetic …
Gender and Local Party Leadership in America
A growing body of literature suggests important gender differences in the leadership of political institutions. It seems clear, for instance, that female legislators, especially legislative leaders, approach their jobs differently than do their male colleagues–and that these differences have an impact on the policy process. The exploration of gender differences in party organizations, however, is underdeveloped. This study, based on a telephone s…
Why Bother? Because Peer-to-Peer Programs Can Mobilize Young Voters
Many assume that young Americans are apathetic, self-absorbed, and indifferent to civic matters. It is a turned-off generation, we are told. But nothing could be further from the truth. A host of data suggests young Americans give their energy, time, and money to their schools, community, and nation. A recent report by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE), for example, suggests young Americans voluntee…
