Perceptions of barriers and facilitators for cervical cancer screening from women and healthcare workers in Ghana

However, there are significant geographic disparities in access to screening. In Ghana, although cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women, there is no national-level cervical cancer screening program, and only 2–4% of eligible Ghanaian women have ever been screened for cervical cancer. This study used…
Anticipated First Contact and Time to Seek Healthcare for Possible Breast Cancer Symptoms

Understanding Trends in Pertussis Incidence
Objectives. We examined the impact of undetected infections, adult immunity, and waning vaccine-acquired immunity on recent age-related trends in pertussis incidence. Methods. We developed an agent-based model of pertussis transmission in Dakota County, Minnesota using case data from the Minnesota Department of Health. For outbreaks in 2004, 2008, and 2012, we fit our model to incidence in 3 children’s age groups relative to adult incidence. We e…
