Experiences and perceptions of sexual violence in a UK university
The epidemiology of violence against children in England, 1971-2024
BACKGROUND: Violence against children (VAC) is a major public health concern, yet persistent measurement challenges limit understanding of its epidemiology. Routinely collected administrative data, such as children entering care, represent an underused resource for measuring a subset of VAC serious enough to trigger state intervention. However, national analyses using these data have not been comprehensively updated since 2016, leaving evidence g…
A school-based material needs intervention for chronic absenteeism
BACKGROUND: Chronically absent students miss learning opportunities at school, and as a result, may suffer academically and socially. Student absenteeism is rising across the USA, with 14%-30% of K-12 students being chronically absent (missing ≥10% of school days) each year. In 2012, Michigan started Pathways to Potential (P2P)-placing caseworkers in public schools to address the material needs of students that interfere with attendance. In this …
Prevalence and Correlates of Firearm Screening and Safety Counseling in Pediatric Primary Care
Firearm-related injuries remain the leading cause of mortality in children in the United States. It is not well-characterized how often clinicians perform firearms access screening and safety counseling. We examined documentation of these services in a cross-sectional study of well child exams (WCEs) at a tertiary academic center in Southeast Michigan. Overall, we found that clinicians documented screening in 25,469 of 32,582 WCE encounters due t…
The US media should rethink coverage of firearm violence
The Prevalence of Sexual Assault Among Higher Education Students
Sexual assault among higher education students has detrimental impacts on the health and educational outcomes of survivors. This systematic review aims to describe and synthesize the available quantitative evidence on sexual assault prevalence among this population. We searched Medline, EMBASE, Global Health, PsycINFO, Web of Science, ERIC, and CINAHL for studies published in English, French, Italian, and Spanish from database inception to August…
How have firearm laws changed in states with unexpected decreases or increases in firearm homicide, 1990–2019
While no firearm law change emerged as necessary or sufficient, an accumulation of diverse restrictive firearm policies may be key to alleviating the death toll from firearm homicide
Changes in crime surrounding an urban home renovation and rebuild programme
Neighbourhood environments are a known social determinant of health. Vacant and abandoned buildings and lots and poor or hazardous housing conditions, combined with crime and violence, can affect residents’ health and wellbeing. Nationwide Children’s Hospital and its partners launched the Healthy Homes initiative in 2008, which sought to improve nearby residents’ health and wellbeing by rejuvenating vacant and abandoned properties and increasing …
Relationships with caregivers and mental health outcomes among adolescents living with HIV
Findings highlight open and supportive adolescent-caregiver communication and good caregiver supervision as potential factors for guarding against mental health problems among adolescents living with HIV in South Africa. Several evidence-informed parenting programmes aim to improve adolescent-caregiver communication and caregiver supervision, and their effect on depression and anxiety among adolescents living with HIV should be rigorously tested …
Effects of Laws Expanding Civilian Rights to Use Deadly Force in Self-Defense on Violence and Crime
Background. Since 2005, most US states have expanded civilian rights to use deadly force in self-defense outside the home. In most cases, legislation has included removing the duty to retreat anywhere one may legally be, commonly known as stand-your-ground laws. The extent to which these laws affect public health and safety is widely debated in public and policy discourse. Objectives. To synthesize the available evidence on the impacts and social…
Is area deprivation associated with greater impacts of Covid-19 in care homes across England? A preliminary analysis of Covid-19 outbreaks and deaths
INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted care homes and vulnerable populations, exacerbating existing health inequalities. However, the role of area deprivation in shaping the impacts of COVID-19 in care homes is poorly understood. We examine whether area deprivation is linked to higher rates of COVID-19 outbreaks and deaths among care home residents across upper tier local authorities in England (n=149). METHODS: We co…
