Mobility between communities can reduce the impact of measles intervention during an outbreak: A mathematical modeling study
Measles resurgence has occurred in a number of settings this year where elimination had been declared. Although under-vaccination of the community is the principal reason for the resurgence additional factors confound this further including community structure and mobility between under-vaccinated communities. We conducted a mathematical modeling study of the measles epidemic in Northern British Columbia, Canada during 2025. We constructed a stoc…
Visible minority status and occupation were associated with increased Covid-19 infection in Greater Vancouver British Columbia between June and November 2020: An ecological study
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted health disparities, especially among specific population groups. This study examines the spatial relationship between the proportion of visible minorities (VM), occupation types and COVID-19 infection in the Greater Vancouver region of British Columbia, Canada. Methods: Provincial COVID-19 case data between June 24, 2020, and November 7, 2020, were aggregated by census dissemination area and linke…
Estimating the total utilization of take home naloxone during an unregulated drug toxicity crisis: A Bayesian modeling approach
Across all sites, kit use is approximately five times higher than has been reported. Our framework can also be applied to other localities where THN programs operate, in order to better estimate the true reach and impact of take home naloxone distribution
World Health Organization Danger Signs to predict bacterial sepsis in young infants: A pragmatic cohort study
Bacterial sepsis is generally a major concern in ill infants. To help triaging decisions by front-line health workers in these situations, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed danger signs (DS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the extent to which nine DS predict bacterial sepsis in young infants presenting with suspected sepsis in a low-income country setting. The study pragmatically evaluated nine DS in infants younger t…
Maternal Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Antidepressants Have Acute Effects on Fetal Heart Rate Variability in Late Gestation
Background: Prenatal exposure to serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) antidepressants increases risk for adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, yet little is known about whether effects are present before birth. In relation to maternal SRI pharmacokinetics, this study investigated chronic and acute effects of prenatal SRI exposure on third-trimester fetal heart rate variability (HRV), while evaluating confounding effects of maternal depressed mood. M…
Usability of Virtual Visits for the Routine Clinical Care of Trans Youth during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Youth and Caregiver Perspectives
We evaluated families' perspectives on the usability of virtual visits for routine gender care for trans youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. An online survey, which included a validated telehealth usability questionnaire, was sent to families who had a virtual Gender Clinic visit between March and August 2020. A total of 87 participants completed the survey (28 trans youth, 59 caregivers). Overall, usability was rated highly, with mean scores bet…
The role of mathematical modelling in aiding public health policy decision-making: A case study of the BC opioid overdose emergency
Modeling Covid-19 and Its Impacts on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Detention Facilities, 2020
Modelling the combined impact of interventions in averting deaths during a synthetic‐opioid overdose epidemic
Neural Correlates of Sexual Cue Reactivity in Individuals with and without Compulsive Sexual Behaviours
Although compulsive sexual behaviour (CSB) has been conceptualized as a "behavioural" addiction and common or overlapping neural circuits may govern the processing of natural and drug rewards, little is known regarding the responses to sexually explicit materials in individuals with and without CSB. Here, the processing of cues of varying sexual content was assessed in individuals with and without CSB, focusing on neural regions identified in pri…
