A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 Italian medical schools (MSCs) in November 2018. A questionnaire assessed socio-demographic characteristics, habits, opinions about MSC, and concerns about the future. Stress was assessed with the PSS-10. Descriptive and uni…

Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 Antibodies in Adults and Healthcare Workers in Southern Italy

Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. 871 adolescents agreed to participate, with a response rate of 96.8%. Only 26.1% had a good level of knowledge on most risk factors for cancer. Adolescents with both parents employed, with a personal, familiar or friend history of cancer or having received information about c…
Pattern and severity of early childhood caries in Southern Italy
Results of our study demonstrate that even in Western countries ECC and S-ECC represent a significant burden in preschool children, particularly in those disadvantaged, and that most of the known modifiable associated factors regarding feeding practices and oral hygiene are still very spread in the population
The quality of preventive health care delivered to adults
There is overwhelming need to develop and implement effective interventions to improve delivery of routine clinical preventive services
Influence of maternal and social factors as predictors of low birth weight in Italy
Several modifiable factors affect the risk of LBW, even when universal access to health care is freely available, but socio-economic status appears to correlate only to very LBW
Association between fruit and vegetable consumption and oral cancer
Dentists and Aids
Educational efforts for improving knowledge and finding and implementing ways to motivate dentists to the correct and routine use of infection control procedures are needed
