State HIV Prevention Policy Environments and HIV Prevention Outcomes: Racial and Ethnic Differences in the United States
Ending the HIV Epidemic: Development and Evaluation of CyberGIS-HIV, a Web-Based Prediction Application
Officials from US state and county health departments perceive the need to adopt new methods for making epidemiological decisions about HIV. Hence, a web-based prediction modeling application, CyberGIS-HIV, was developed and systematically compared with currently used approaches (e.g., community consultation) in a sample of 42 state and federal public health officials as well as senior and junior modelers. Overall, CyberGIS-HIV had more favorable…
Do Covid-19 Vaccination Policies Backfire? The Effects of Mandates, Vaccination Passports, and Financial Incentives on Covid-19 Vaccination

Furthermore, some countries also began offering financial inc…
State health policies and interest in PrEP: Evidence from Google Trends
This study investigated the association between interest in Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in the US using Google Health Trends as a source of big data and state policy variables of Medicaid expansions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and initiation of PrEP Assistance Programs (PrEP-AP). As of December 2019, thirty-three states and the District of Columbia have accepted federal Medicaid funding provided through the ACA to expand eligibility t…
Testing a digitally distributed method to recruit a network of community organizations to fight the consequences of the drug epidemic: A study in 13 American states
To mitigate the opioid epidemic, a concerted effort to educate, prevent, diagnose, treat, and engage residents is required. In this study, a digitally distributed method to form a large network of organizations was tested with 99 counties in regions with high vulnerability to hepatitis C virus (HCV). The method involved a cascade of contacts going from email to phone calls, to videoconferencing and measuring the number of contacts required, amoun…
