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
The effect of perceived stress on life satisfaction among Chinese adolescents during Covid-19 pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, perceived stress is an important factor affecting adolescent life satisfaction. Perceived stress not only directly affects life satisfaction, but also indirectly affects it through reduced self-efficacy and meaning in life. Primary and secondary schools and psychological centers can start with self-efficacy and meaning in life training in order to enhance the mental health of young people, alleviate perceived stress …
Effect of a mobile app chatbot and an interactive small-group webinar on Covid-19 vaccine intention and confidence in Japan
INTRODUCTION: We investigated the effect of social media-based interventions on COVID-19 vaccine intention (VI) and confidence in Japan. METHODS: We conducted a three-arm randomised controlled trial between 5 November 2021 and 9 January 2022 during a low incidence (<1000/day) of COVID-19 in Japan in the midst of the second and the third waves. Japanese citizens aged ≥20 who had not received any COVID-19 vaccine and did not intend to be vaccinated…
First-wave Covid-19 transmissibility and severity in China outside Hubei after control measures, and second-wave scenario planning
Impact assessment of non-pharmaceutical interventions against coronavirus disease 2019 and influenza in Hong Kong
Background A range of public health measures have been implemented to suppress local transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Hong Kong. We examined the effect of these interventions and behavioural changes of the public on the incidence of COVID-19, as well as on influenza virus infections, which might share some aspects of transmission dynamics with COVID-19. Methods We analysed data on laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases, influen…
Estimating clinical severity of Covid-19 from the transmission dynamics in Wuhan, China
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 …
Chinese new immigrant mothers' perception about adult-onset non-communicable diseases prevention during childhood
Many non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are largely preventable via behaviour change and healthy lifestyle, which may be best established during childhood. This study sought insights into Chinese new immigrant mothers' perceptions about adult-onset NCDs prevention during childhood. Twenty-three semi-structured interviews were carried out with new immigrant mothers from mainland China who had at least one child aged 14 years or younger living in Hon…
Chinese immigrant parents’ vaccination decision making for children
Social norms play a key role influencing parental vaccination decision-making. Insight gained from this study will help inform healthcare providers in vaccination communication and policymakers in future vaccination programme
Community Psychological and Behavioral Responses through the First Wave of the 2009 Influenza A(H1N1) Pandemic in Hong Kong
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the community psychological and behavioral responses to influenza pandemics. METHODS: Using random digit dialing, we sampled 12,965 Hong Kong residents in 13 cross-sectional telephone surveys between April and November 2009, covering the entire first wave of the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic. We examined trends in anxiety, risk perception, knowledge on modes of transmission, and preventive behaviors. RESULTS: R…
