Emergency preparedness and health system resilience assessment tool
BACKGROUND: Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has been one of the most significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The escalating frequency and complexity of global health threats-from pandemics like COVID-19 to climate change-induced emergencies-have elevated the imperative for stronger and more resilient health systems in the MENA region and the world over. In this paper, we introduce a tool designed to offer a comprehensive and e…
Redefining global health in the 21st century
Global health is at a critical juncture, with significant achievements in reducing deaths from HIV and under-five mortality since 2000. However, progress in other areas, such as maternal mortality and tuberculosis, remains uneven, and cardiovascular diseases continue to rise. Compounding these challenges is the emerging threat of climate change, which is predicted to cause millions of health-related deaths by the end of the century. This commenta…
Understanding policy supports for Team-Based primary healthcare models
Background: Industrialized countries are facing pressure to address the complexity of populations who experience high needs with significant costs to the health system. Interprofessional team-based care (TBC) is an essential component of integrated care strategies to respond to these complex needs. However, TBC models operate within complex policy environments that can facilitate or constrain their activities. The main goal of this project is to …

Community-Level Social Vulnerability and Hip and Knee Joint Replacement Surgery Receipt Among Medicare Enrollees With Arthritis
OBJECTIVES: (1) Explore associations between county minority health social vulnerability index (MH-SVI) and total joint replacement (TJR), and (2) assess associations by individual-level race/ethnicity. BACKGROUND: An expanded understanding of relevant social determinants of health is essential to inform policies and practices that promote equitable access to hip and knee TJR. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of Medicare enrollees. Centers for…
Rapid and sustained contact tracing training for Covid-19 in San Francisco
The City and County of San Francisco was the first municipality in the United States to institute a COVID-19 contact tracing program. The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) created an outcome-based fully remote contact tracing curriculum using participatory learning methods to train non-public health emergency workers as contact tracers. Between April and December 2020, we trai…
Authorship equity in global health research
Authorship inequity exists in global health research and can be representative of unequal partnerships. Previous studies showed that low-income and middle-income country (LMIC) authors are under-represented in publications from global collaborative research between LMIC and high-income countries (HIC). However, there are little data on trends for how specific HIC institutions are performing concerning equitable authorship. We used Web of Science …
Comparing in-person, blended and virtual training interventions; a real-world evaluation of HIV capacity building programs in 16 countries in sub-Saharan Africa
We sought to evaluate the impact of transitioning a multi-country HIV training program from in-person to online by comparing digital training approaches implemented during the pandemic with in-person approaches employed before COVID-19. We evaluated mean changes in pre-and post-course knowledge scores and self-reported confidence scores for learners who participated in (1) in-person workshops (between October 2019 and March 2020), (2) entirely as…
Real World Feedback
To effectively respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, California had to quickly mobilize a substantial number of case investigators (CIs) and contact tracers (CTs). This workforce was comprised primarily of redirected civil servants with diverse educational and professional backgrounds. The purpose of this evaluation was to understand whether the weeklong, remote course developed to train California's CI/CT workforce (i.e., Virtual Training Academy) a…
Outdoor Activities Associated with Lower Odds of Sars-CoV-2 Acquisition
Access to recreational physical activities, particularly in outdoor spaces, has been a crucial outlet for physical and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a need to understand how conducting these activities modulates the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this case-control study of unvaccinated individuals conducted in San Francisco, California, the odds of testing positive to SARS-CoV-2 were lower for those who conducted physical…
California's Covid-19 Virtual Training Academy
Case investigation (CI) and contact tracing (CT) are key to containing the COVID-19 pandemic. Widespread community transmission necessitates a large, diverse workforce with specialized knowledge and skills. The University of California, San Francisco and Los Angeles partnered with the California Department of Public Health to rapidly mobilize and train a CI/CT workforce. In April through August 2020, a team of public health practitioners and heal…
World TB day
box The COVID-19 crisis has led to rapidly changing working patterns for many people, including new forms of remote working, flexible working, social distancing at work and shift work. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has also exposed profound inequities in workplace health risks; those working lower paid jobs carrying the greatest risk. In particular, this pandemic has also shone a light on the problem of presenteeism, that is, the phenomenon of people w…
Establishment and Evaluation of a Large Contact-Tracing and Case Investigation Virtual Training Academy
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Virtual Training Academy (VTA) was established to rapidly develop a contact-tracing workforce for California. Through June 2021, more than 10 000 trainees enrolled in a contact-tracing or case investigation course at the VTA. To evaluate program effectiveness, we analyzed trainee pre- and postassessment results using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. There was a statistically significant (P
Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization among HIV-infected adults in Botswana
We sought to determine the clinical and epidemiologic determinants of Staphylococcus aureus nasal colonization in HIV-infected individuals at two outpatient centers in southern Botswana. Standard microbiologic techniques were used to identify S. aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). In a sample of 404 HIV-infected adults, prevalence of S. aureus nasal carriage was 36.9% (n = 152) and was associated with domestic overcrowding and lowe…
