Data driven student support
BACKGROUND: Medical student academic success is dependent not only on aptitude but also on the implementation and utilization of effective learning strategies. The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) measures ten strategies that may impact academic performance. Since LASSI research in medical education is somewhat limited, this study examined LASSI subscale scores and multiple outcomes of academic performance. METHODS: Four cohorts of…
Project SCORE (Student-Centered Outcomes Research Experience)
Project SCORE (Student-Centered Outcomes Research Experiences) is a community-engaged after school science education program designed to address persistent inequities in health, education, and biomedical career access among Mississippi youth. Grounded in youth participatory action research and leveraging near-peer mentoring (NPM), the program engages teens in public health education, research skill development, and mentored inquiry led by undergr…
A just war on bugs? Ethical differences between antimalarial resistance and antibacterial resistance
Box Antimicrobial resistance is a chronic, serious threat to humans, animals and the environment, yet measures to address it can be unjust, treating humans, animals or microbes in morally wrong ways
Ethics of Identifying Individuals Involved in HIV Transmission Events by Phylogenetics in Molecular Surveillance
Molecular HIV surveillance, involving the collection and analysis of HIV genome sequences, has become an integral part of public health programmes in high‐income countries. By employing phylogenetic analysis, molecular HIV surveillance can identify individuals and their positions within networks of HIV transmission. While the primary aim of molecular surveillance is to yield public health benefits, such as linking people to care and reducing tran…
Recognizing the ethical complexity of food policies and the role of the food industry
Restrictive food policies are often contentious and controversial. Supporters of these policies view them as imperative for achieving public health aims while some opponents view them as overly paternalistic, infringing on consumer choice and potentially inequitable. As a consequence, their ethical status and permissibility are both contested and of importance in decision-making for policy. Traditional ethical analysis of these interventions has …
Interventions to address antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health and one health problem. Efforts to mitigate the problem of AMR are challenging to implement due to unresolved ethical tensions. We present an in-depth ethical analysis of tensions that might hinder efforts to address AMR. First, there is a tension between access and excess in the current population: addressing lack of access requires facilitating use of antimicrobials for some populations, while a…
Ethical issues in Nipah virus control and research
Nipah virus is a priority pathogen that is receiving increasing attention among scientists and in work on epidemic preparedness. Despite this trend, there has been almost no bioethical work examining ethical considerations surrounding the epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of Nipah virus or research that has already begun into animal and human vaccines. In this paper, we advance the case for further work on Nipah virus disease in public heal…
Systemic intervention can be intrusive, too
Stewardship according to context
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an urgent, global threat to public health. The development and implementation of effective measures to address AMR is vitally important but presents important ethical questions. This is a policy area requiring further sustained attention to ensure that policies proposed in National Action Plans on AMR are ethically acceptable and preferable to alternatives that might be fairer or more effective, for instance. By …
Overcoming Barriers to Training the Next Generation of Public Health Professionals
Towards responsible, lawful and ethical data processing
In May 2021, the UK National Health Service (NHS) proposed a scheme-called General Practice Data for Planning Research (GPDPR)-for sharing patients' data. Under that system, a patient who does not wish to participate must actively opt out of their data being shared with third parties for research and other purposes. In this paper, we analyse the lessons that can be learned for the responsible and ethical governance of health data from the NHS' ne…
Funder priority for vaccines
The development of some COVID‐19 vaccines by private companies like Moderna and Sanofi‐GSK has been substantially funded by various governments. While the Sanofi CEO has previously suggested that countries that fund this development ought to be given some priority, this suggestion has not been taken seriously in the literature. Considerations of nationalism, sustainability, need, and equitability have been more extensively discussed with respect …
Enhancing the collectivist critique
Individualist ethical analyses in the enhancement debate have often prioritised or only considered the interests and concerns of parents and the future child. The collectivist critique of the human enhancement debate argues that rather than pure individualism, a focus on collectivist, or group-level ethical considerations is needed for balanced ethical analysis of specific enhancement interventions. Here, I defend this argument for the insufficie…
A trade‐off
As we combat the COVID‐19 pandemic, both the prescription of antimicrobials and the use of biocidal agents have increased in many countries. Although these measures can be expected to benefit existing people by, to some extent, mitigating the pandemic's effects, they may threaten long‐term well‐being of existing and future people, where they contribute to the problem of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A trade‐off dilemma thus presents itself: com…
