Building the infection prevention workforce
Background: The Texas Epidemic Public Health Institute (TEPHI) was established to strengthen infectious disease preparedness across Texas. The Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) 300 Series represents the third year of a multi-tiered educational initiative designed to provide free, accessible, evidence-based IPC training and continuing education credits for the healthcare workforce. Methods: Registration and attendance data were collected thro…

Modeling the Impact of MMR Vaccination Strategies on Measles Outbreaks in Texas
This study uses a mathematical model to simulate a hypothetical measles case importation and estimate potential outbreak sizes across various Texas counties
Wastewater pandemic preparedness
Molecular analysis of public wastewater has great potential as a harbinger for community health and health threats. Long-used to monitor the presence of enteric viruses, in particular polio, recent successes of wastewater as a reliable lead indicator for trends in SARS-CoV-2 levels and hospital admissions has generated optimism and emerging evidence that similar science can be applied to other pathogens of pandemic potential (PPPs), especially re…
Building Back Better
Disaster recovery provides an opportunity to build healthier and more resilient communities. However, opportunities and challenges encountered by local health departments (LHDs) when integrating health considerations into recovery have yet to be explored. Following Hurricane Harvey, 17 local health and emergency management officials from 10 agencies in impacted Texas, USA jurisdictions were interviewed to describe the types and level of LHD engag…
Improving Hurricane Harvey Disaster Research Response Through Academic–Practice Partnerships
After Hurricane Harvey, researchers, media, and public health agencies collected data in Houston, Texas, to assess potential health effects and inform the public. To limit redundancy and ensure sampling coverage of impacted areas, research and practice partners used disaster research response (DR2) resources and relied on partnerships formed during a 2015 DR2 workshop in Houston. Improved coordination after the disaster can improve the effectiven…
Preliminary Assessment of Hurricane Harvey Exposures and Mental Health Impact
Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Houston, Texas on 25 August 2017, the psychological and physical effects of which are still unknown. We assessed hurricane exposure and the immediate mental health needs of the population to define public health priorities for a larger epidemiological study. Convenience sampling was used to recruit participants ( n = 41) from the greater Houston area aged ≥18 years. Participants completed a questionnaire about de…
