Reducing dengue fever cases at the lowest budget: A constrained optimization approach applied to Thailand
Determining the best investment strategy for dengue control requires the identification of the optimal mix of interventions to implement in order to maximize public health outcomes, often under fixed budget constraints. A CO model was developed with the objective of minimizing dengue cases (and DALYs lost) over a 10-year time horizon, within the constraints of the estimated budgets for vector control in the absence of vaccination and Wolbachia.

O4-1.4 National income and income inequality, family affluence and life satisfaction among adolescents in 35 countries
Introduction This study examines 13 year olds' life satisfaction cross-nationally and investigates variation in its relationship with family affluence, and the impact of national income and income inequality on this relationship. Methods Data from the 2006 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children: WHO-collaborative Study (N =58 352 across 35 countries) were analysed using multilevel linear and logistic regression for outcome measures life satisfa…
High agreement on family affluence between children’s and parents’ reports: International study of 11-year-old children: Table 1
OBJECTIVE: To examine the agreement between parents' and children's reports on four items of family affluence: number of cars, own bedroom, number of family holidays and number of computers, and to analyse predictors of disagreement. DESIGN: Cross-sectional child-parent validation study of selected items from an internationally standardised questionnaire. SETTING: Survey conducted in schools in Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Scotlan…
Comparison of overweight and obesity prevalence in school‐aged youth from 34 countries and their relationships with physical activity and dietary patterns
The purposes of this systematic review were to present and compare recent estimates of the prevalence of overweight and obesity in school‐aged youth from 34 countries and to examine associations between overweight and selected dietary and physical activity patterns. Data consisted of a cross‐sectional survey of 137 593 youth (10–16 years) from the 34 (primarily European) participating countries of the 2001–2002 Health Behaviour in School‐Aged Chi…
Cost, affordability and cost-effectiveness of strategies to control tuberculosis in countries with high HIV prevalence
To reduce the burden of TB in high HIV prevalence settings, the immediate goal should be to increase TB case detection rates and, to the extent possible, improve TB cure rates, preferably in combination. Realising the full potential of ART will require substantial new funding and strengthening of health system capacity so that increased funding can be used effectively
