Enhancing global health security responses through greater inclusion of the global south in infectious disease modelling
BOX Gaps continue to persist in global public health responses and greater inclusion of the Global South in infectious disease modelling is crucial for improving global health security
Changes in local travel behaviour before and during the Covid-19 pandemic in Hong Kong
First-wave Covid-19 transmissibility and severity in China outside Hubei after control measures, and second-wave scenario planning
Estimating clinical severity of Covid-19 from the transmission dynamics in Wuhan, China
Depression and post-traumatic stress during major social unrest in Hong Kong
Nowcasting and forecasting the potential domestic and international spread of the 2019-nCoV outbreak originating in Wuhan, China
Early Transmission Dynamics in Wuhan, China, of Novel Coronavirus–Infected Pneumonia
BACKGROUND: The initial cases of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)-infected pneumonia (NCIP) occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019 and January 2020. We analyzed data on the first 425 confirmed cases in Wuhan to determine the epidemiologic characteristics of NCIP. METHODS: We collected information on demographic characteristics, exposure history, and illness timelines of laboratory-confirmed cases of NCIP that had been reported by…
No Detectable Surge in Sars-CoV-2 Transmission Attributable to the April 7, 2020 Wisconsin Election
The April 7, 2020, Wisconsin election produced a large natural experiment to help understand the transmission risks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of April 14, 2020, 1 551 711 total votes were cast (https://bit.ly/2yWPhlF),1 and 1 138 491 absentee ballots were returned as of April 21, 2020,1 suggesting that approximately 413 220 people voted in person. Waiting times in Milwaukee averaged 1.5 to 2 hours.2 Poll …
Can Attention Control Conditions Have Detrimental Effects on Behavioral Medicine Randomized Trials
OBJECTIVE: Attention control (AC) conditions are used to balance nonspecific attention in randomized trials of behavioral interventions. Very little guidance about which behavioral interventions and outcomes merit AC is available in the literature. The primary aim of the present study is to demonstrate a scenario in which use of AC in a behavioral randomized trial was unnecessary and possibly detrimental. METHODS: Exploratory analyses were perfor…
Providing English Language Support through Collegial Mentoring
As staff developmental initiatives become increasingly common in educational institutions, the evaluation of such programmes may need careful consideration. This paper describes a staff developmental initiative in which a one-on-one mentoring service was offered as part of a funded staff development project entitled 'Effective English Communication for Teaching and Research' (EECTR). EECTR provides language support to all academic staff in a Hong…
