Definimos los dos conglomerados de mayor tamaño y densidad, identificando los dos vecindarios …
Eliminating Tuberculosis One Neighborhood at a Time
Objectives. We evaluated a strategy for preventing tuberculosis (TB) in communities most affected by it. Methods. In 1996, we mapped reported TB cases (1985–1995) and positive tuberculin skin test (TST) reactors (1993–1995) in Smith County, Texas. We delineated the 2 largest, densest clusters, identifying 2 highest-incidence neighborhoods (180 square blocks, 3153 residents). After extensive community preparation, trained health care workers went …
Epidemiology of Urban Tuberculosis in the United States, 2000–2007
Objectives. We investigated tuberculosis (TB) incidence rates and characteristics of patients with TB in large US cities. Methods. Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Tuberculosis Surveillance System data, we categorized 48 cities annually from 2000 to 2007 as reporting decreasing or nondecreasing rates with Joinpoint analysis. We compared demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics of patients with TB using b…
Tuberculosis Among Persons Born in the Philippines and Living in the United States, 2000–2007
Objectives. We examined demographic, clinical, and treatment outcome characteristics of Filipinos with tuberculosis (TB) in the United States. Methods. We calculated TB case rates from US Census Bureau population estimates and National Tuberculosis Surveillance System data for US-born non-Hispanic Whites and for US residents born in the Philippines, India, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Korea––countries that are major contributors to the…
A longitudinal study of schoolchildren's experience in the North Carolina Dental Medicaid Program, 1984 through 1992
OBJECTIVES: This evaluation of a state Medicaid dental program describes dental treatment received, relates treatment needed to treatment received, and describes enrollment and use over an 8-year period. METHODS: Three databases were linked: (1) clinical records from a 1986/87 statewide epidemiological survey, providing data on treatment need; (2) Medicaid dental claims from 1984 through 1992, providing data on treatment received; and (3) Medicai…
Dental Caries and Treatment Need in Schoolchildren Related to Medicaid Enrollment
Caries prevalence did not differ substantially among groups; however, the level of unmet treatment did very. Some Medicaid-enrolled children had a significant portion of their restorative treatment needs met
Impact of oral health education on primary school children before and after teachers' training in Tanzania
Oral health education is part of the primary school curriculum in Tanzania. However, most of the teachers responsible for it lack training and motivation for the task. Their oral health education sessions are deficient in content and in methods, only addressing oral hygiene by lectures. Thus, modified oral health education was designed and teacher training workshops were carried out in one district by a dental team in liaison with school administ…
