Assessing differences in healthcare access by HIV status to inform cervical cancer and HIV screening in rural Uganda
Uganda has one of the highest incidence rates of cervical cancer in the world. Although this impacts all women, women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) experience an increased risk for developing cervical cancer. This study aims to compare how HIV-positive and HIV-negative women in a remote sub-county in Uganda access health services to inform consideration of potential HIV and HPV-based cervical cancer screening integration at the c…

Pharmaceutical Company Targets and Strategies to Address Climate Change
The pharmaceutical industry produces a large proportion of health system greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing to climate change. This urgently needs to be addressed. We aimed to examine pharmaceutical company climate change targets, GHG emissions, and strategies to reduce them. We performed content analysis of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies' publicly available 2020/2021 reports, focusing on extracting information on their reporte…
May I have this dance
This case study examined the contents and experiences of people participating in a weekly leisure dance class geared towards people with Parkinson’s disease. Using critical geragogy as a conceptual framework, we examine how the conditions of this program support lifelong learning through both the content and the learning environment. Participants performed a variety of dances in seated and standing positions. The class began with a seated warm up…
A multivariable analysis of the contribution of socioeconomic and environmental factors to blood culture Escherichia coli resistant to fluoroquinolones in high- and middle-income countries
Corruption is a strong predictor of AMR, likely reflecting a multitude of socioeconomic factors. Sanitation quality contributed to increased blood culture QREC (%) levels in middle-income countries, although was not an independent factor, highlighting the need to also focus on infrastructure such as sanitation services in the context of AMR
Intention to Receive a Covid-19 Vaccine by HIV Status Among a Population-Based Sample of Women and Gender Diverse Individuals in British Columbia, Canada
Intention to receive a Covid-19 vaccine
To optimize vaccine coverage, public health should focus on key messages around vaccine safety and benefit, and leverage trusted practitioners for messaging. As certain key populations identified by NACI and ACIP for early immunization report a lower intention to vaccinate, there is a need for in-depth education and support for these communities to ensure optimal uptake
Reported evidence on the effectiveness of mass media interventions in increasing knowledge and use of family planning in low and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: An estimated 200 million women and girls in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) wish to delay, space or avoid becoming pregnant, yet are not using contraceptives. This study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of mass media interventions for increasing knowledge and use of contraceptives, and to identify barriers to program implementation. METHODS: Using a mixed-methods systematic approach, we searched five electronic databases…
Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to identify key beliefs underlying chlamydia testing intentions in a sample of young people living in deprived areas
The Theory of Planned Behavior was used to identify the key behavioural, normative and control beliefs underlying intentions to test regularly for chlamydia among young people living in socially and economically deprived areas - a high-risk group for infection. Participants ( N = 278, 53% male; mean age 17 years) were recruited from a vocational college situated in an area in the most deprived national quintile (England). Participants completed m…
