Community of Communities: Co-Created Education to Increase Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake
Introduction: This paper describes and evaluates the COVAX educational program for Vaccine Acceptance and Access Lives in Unity, Engagement, and Education, Baltimore's vaccine peer ambassador (VPA) initiative, which served to engage the community (including those resistant to vaccination) and increase community knowledge of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: A mixed methods approach was used to describe the effectiveness of the education…
An analysis of community perceptions of mosquito-borne disease control and prevention in Sint Eustatius, Caribbean Netherlands
BACKGROUND: In the Caribbean, mosquito-borne diseases are a public health threat. In Sint Eustatius, dengue, Chikungunya and Zika are now endemic. To control and prevent mosquito-borne diseases, the Sint Eustatius Public Health Department relies on the community to assist with the control of Aedes aegypti mosquito. Unfortunately, community based interventions are not always simple, as community perceptions and responses shape actions and influenc…
Dengue Fever and the Quandary of Race
An analysis of the dialogue surrounding historical and current dengue incidence, prevalence, morbidity and mortality reveals that race is defined as a risk factor influencing host immune response. African descendent populations in the Americas are often highlighted as having an innate resistance to severe dengue infection. This paper explores this hypothesis and, using a historical, epidemiological and immunological perspective, attempts to evalu…

Frequency and chronological distribution of dental enamel hypoplasia in enslaved African Americans: A test of the weaning hypothesis
The dentition of 27 enslaved African Americans from archaeological sites in Maryland and Virginia were examined. All 17 males and 7 of the 10 females in this study exhibited enamel hypoplastic defects indicative of systemic nutritional and disease stresses interfering with amelogenesis. Estimates of the ages of occurrence of these defects show that most occur between 1.5 and 4.5 years of age, 0.5–3.75 years later than historically documented wean…
