Determinants of HIV viral load suppression rates in Amhara region, Ethiopia with a large number of internally displaced people
In a region with large numbers of IDP, virologic failure is more common in older age groups. VL and TAT vary by testing centers which could be reflective of ART default and delay in courier mail driven by internal displacement
Influence of care partner presence on outcomes of people with Parkinson’s disease
People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) often depend on informal care partners (CPs), but the effect of CP presence on outcomes for people with PD remains unexamined. A systematic review was conducted for English-language articles reporting quantitative outcomes for people with PD and noting CP presence or absence. Of 153 included articles, only five recorded data about those lacking a CP. Findings were mixed when comparing motor and nonmotor outcom…
Unveiling Spatial Associations between Covid-19 Severe Health Index, Racial/Ethnic Composition, and Community Factors in the United States
There are limited efforts to incorporate different predisposing factors into prediction models that account for population racial/ethnic composition in exploring the burden of high COVID-19 Severe Health Risk Index (COVID-19 SHRI) scores. This index quantifies the risk of severe COVID-19 symptoms among a county's population depending on the presence of some chronic conditions. These conditions, as identified by the Centers for Disease Control and…
Understanding the Role of Adult Mental Health and Substance Abuse in Perpetrating Violent Acts
Exploring Treatment for Depression in Parkinson’s Patients
Depression is a highly prevalent, often underrecognized and undertreated comorbidity of Parkinson's disease closely correlated to health-related quality of life. National trends in depression care for patients with Parkinson's disease are not well documented. This paper identifies a cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease from nationally representative survey data and analyzes trends in depression care. Using data from the 2005-2006 through 2…
Narrative Medicine for Healthcare Providers
Advance care planning (ACP) conversations about treatment preferences and end-of-life goals relate to positive outcomes for patients and families, though ongoing barriers exist. Additionally, providers personal discomfort and personal experiences may influence how they engage (or avoid) ACP conversations. Narrative medicine (NM) offers one approach to help practitioners develop ability to hear and understand the story of others in ways that may o…
Evaluating the Implementation of a Twitter-Based Foodborne Illness Reporting Tool in the City of St. Louis Department of Health
Foodborne illness is a serious and preventable public health problem affecting 1 in 6 Americans with cost estimates over $50 billion annually. Local health departments license and inspect restaurants to ensure food safety and respond to reports of suspected foodborne illness. The City of St. Louis Department of Health adopted the HealthMap Foodborne Dashboard (Dashboard), a tool that monitors Twitter for tweets about food poisoning in a geographi…
Association of Oral Health Literacy and Dental Visitation in an Inner-City Emergency Department Population
To examine the association between oral health literacy (OHL) with sociodemographic variables and dental visitation in adults presenting to an urban emergency department (ED). Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of a convenience sample of 556 adults aged 18−90. Interview data from the study were used to collect self-reported sociodemographic characteristics and dental visitation history. The OHL of the study participants was measured using …
Foreign-born blacks no different from whites for odds of stroke
BACKGROUND: Blacks have higher risk for stroke than whites. However, combining foreign-born and US-born blacks could mask important health differences. We examined the relationship between nativity and stroke risk in US adults. METHODS: Data were obtained from the National Health Interview Survey, 2006-2014. Study population (n=189, 409) included non-Hispanic whites and non-Hispanic blacks born in the Caribbean, and non-Hispanic blacks born in Af…
Using Narrative Communication as a Tool for Health Behavior Change
Narrative is the basic mode of human interaction and a fundamental way of acquiring knowledge. In the rapidly growing field of health communication, narrative approaches are emerging as a promising set of tools for motivating and supporting health-behavior change. This article defines narrative communication and describes the rationale for using it in health-promotion programs, reviews theoretical explanations of narrative effects and research co…
Narrative communication in cancer prevention and control
Narrative forms of communication-including entertainment education, journalism, literature, testimonials, and storytelling-are emerging as important tools for cancer prevention and control. To stimulate critical thinking about the role of narrative in cancer communication and promote a more focused and systematic program of research to understand its effects, we propose a typology of narrative application in cancer control. We assert that narrati…
