Student and Teacher Attitudes Toward a School‐Based Firearm Injury Prevention Presentation in Washington State
Open AccessNevin C Kalaf, Michelle L Wang et al.ARTICLEJournal of School Health2026
BACKGROUND: Firearm injuries are the leading cause of death among United States youth. Few evidence-based interventions exist that address this issue. High school health classrooms may be an effective way to inform youth about firearm-related risks. METHODS: During 2024-2025, medical students and physicians delivered 55-min firearm injury prevention presentations in western Washington public high schools. Post-presentation surveys measured knowle…

Re-thinking “non-response” to wasting treatment
Open AccessCécile Cazes, Heather Stobaugh et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025
Children who receive therapeutic feeding for wasting treatment but do not reach the anthropometric definitions of recovery (usually within 12–16 weeks) are categorised as ‘non-responders’ and considered as treatment failures. We conducted a pooled analysis to explore the growth trajectories of non-responders and the appropriateness of the definition of ‘non-response’. We pooled 14 studies of children aged 6–59 months receiving treatment for wasti…
Association of Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Animal Ownership With Relapse to Acute Malnutrition Among Children Aged 6–59 Months in Mali, South Sudan and Somalia
Open AccessLauren D’Mello-Guyett, Sarah King et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2025
Children successfully treated through community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) frequently relapse to acute malnutrition (AM) following recovery and discharge. This prospective cohort study examined associations between relapse and household water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions, as well as animal ownership, in Mali, South Sudan and Somalia. Between April 2021 and June 2022, 1115 children were enrolled, with 964 children f…
Conflicts in Gaza and around the world create a perfect storm for infectious disease outbreaks
Open AccessJohn E Kearney, Natalie Thiel et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024
The global history of conflicts has revealed that infectious diseases resulting from displacement, overcrowding, healthcare collapse, destruction of critical water and sanitation infrastructure, and malnutrition can cause death rates equal or beyond those from direct violence The crisis in Gaza is no exception and has created a perfect storm for infectious disease outbreaks
Mass azithromycin for prevention of child mortality among children with acute malnutrition
Open AccessAli Sié, Mamadou Ouattara et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024
Children with acute malnutrition are at high risk of morality. Mass azithromycin distribution reduces all-cause mortality among children aged 1–59 months, and effects may be greater in underweight infants. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of azithromycin for reducing all-cause mortality in children aged 6–59 months with acute malnutrition (mid-upper arm circumference, MUAC, P -value for interaction on the relative scale = 0.09; P -value for interac…
Predictors of change in early child development among children with stunting
Open AccessJoseph Mbabazi, Hannah Pesu et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024
Millions of children under 5 years in low- and middle-income countries fail to attain their development potential with accruing short- and long-term consequences. Low length/height for age (stunting) is known to be a key factor, but there is little data on how child characteristics are linked with developmental changes among children with stunting. We assessed the socioeconomic, household, anthropometric, and clinical predictors of change in earl…

Community-based management of acute malnutrition for infants under 6 months of age is safe and effective
Open AccessMaeve M Woeltje, Anastasia B Evanoff et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of outpatient management with ready-to-use and supplementary foods for infants under 6 months (u6m) of age who were unable to be treated as inpatients due to social and economic barriers. Design: Review of operational acute malnutrition treatment records. Setting: Twenty-one outpatient therapeutic feeding clinics in rural Malawi. Participants: Infants u6m with acute malnutrition treated as outpatients becaus…

How do children with severe underweight and wasting respond to treatment? A pooled secondary data analysis to inform future intervention studies
Open AccessGloria Odei Obeng-Amoako, Heather Stobaugh et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2022
Children with weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) <-3 have a high risk of death, yet this indicator is not widely used in nutrition treatment programming. This pooled secondary data analysis of children aged 6-59 months aimed to examine the prevalence, treatment outcomes, and growth trajectories of children with WAZ <-3 versus children with WAZ ≥-3 receiving outpatient treatment for wasting and/or nutritional oedema, to inform future protocols. Binary t…

Human gut microbiome viewed across age and geography
Open AccessTanya Yatsunenko, Frédéric Rey et al.ARTICLENature2012
Gut microbial communities represent one source of human genetic and metabolic diversity. To examine how gut microbiomes differ among human populations, here we characterize bacterial species in fecal samples from 531 individuals, plus the gene content of 110 of them. The cohort encompassed healthy children and adults from the Amazonas of Venezuela, rural Malawi and US metropolitan areas and included mono- and dizygotic twins. Shared features of t…
