  • Specimen sharing for epidemic preparedness

    Open AccessJudith Giri, Laura Pezzi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    We present a framework for a federated, virtual biorepository system (VBS) with locally collected and managed specimens, as a ‘global public good’ model based on principles of equitable access and benefit sharing. The VBS is intended to facilitate timely access to biological specimens and associated data for outbreak-prone infectious diseases to accelerate the development and evaluation of diagnostics, assess vaccine efficacy, and to support surv…

  • Contexts motivating protective behaviours related to Aedes-borne infectious diseases in Curaçao

    Open AccessVaitiare I C Mulderij-Jansen, Vaitiare Mulderij-Jansen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    This study used the HBM to explain individual changes in HSB concerning ABIDs prevention and control in Curaçao. We can conclude that the perceived threat (perceived susceptibility and severity) and perceived barriers played an essential role in changing HSB. Health professionals must consider these two concepts' implications when designing a bottom-up approach for ABIDs control; otherwise, community participation will remain minimal

  • Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Three Latin American Countries

    Benjamin R Bates, Adriana Villegas Botero et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2022

    Although vaccines have been developed to prevent COVID-19, vaccine hesitancy is a significant barrier for vaccination programs. Most research on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy has blamed misinformation and misstated concerns about effectiveness, safety, and side effects of these vaccines. The preponderance of these studies has been performed in the Global North. Although Latin American has been substantially and negatively impacted by COVID-19, few s…

  • Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Regarding Covid-19 Among Healthcare Workers in Venezuela

    Open AccessDaniela Lucía Mendoza Millán, Fhabián S Carrión‐Nessi et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: The deterioration of Venezuela's health system in recent years undoubtedly contributes to an increased impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding healthcare workers' (HCWs) knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) toward COVID-19 in the early stages of the pandemic could inform their medical training and improve their preparedness. Methods: A online national cross-sectional survey was conducted between May 26th and May 30th, 202…

  • The Impact of Health Risk Communication

    Open AccessMilou J F Van Goudoever, Christina Robinson et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2021Citada por: 1Referências: 35

    Epidemics of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika have been threatening the Caribbean. Since risk communication (RC) plays a fundamental role in preventing and controlling diseases understanding how RC works is essential for enabling risk-reducing behavior. This multimethod qualitative study compares news reports with local's and health professional's perspectives, currently lacking in RC research. It was found that RC strategies were obstructed by a la…

  • Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the Covid-19 epidemic in Brazil

  • Changes in (risk) behavior and HPV knowledge among Dutch girls eligible for HPV vaccination

    Open AccessRobine Donken, Adriana Tami et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Overall, we did not find indications that vaccination influenced sexual behavior in girls during 2 years of follow-up. The few differences found may be related to existing disparities in the socio-demographic characteristics of the young population pointing to the importance and improvement of education with regard to safe sex practices. Our findings do not suggest that vaccination status is associated with changes in sexual risk behavior and thu…

  • Equity in human papilloma virus vaccination uptake

    Open AccessMadelief Mollers, Karin Lubbers et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    HPV vaccine uptake was not associated with knowledge of HPV and with factors that are known to be associated with non-attendance to the cervical cancer screening program in the Netherlands. Furthermore, most sexual behaviour was not related to vaccination status meaning that teenage unvaccinated girls were not at a disproportionally higher risk of being exposed to HPV. Routine HPV vaccination may reduce the social inequity of prevention of cervic…

  • Comparatively low attendance during Human Papillomavirus catch-up vaccination among teenage girls in the Netherlands

    Open AccessGiedrė Gefenaitė, Marieke Smit et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    This study revealed several determinants for HPV vaccination uptake after implementation of the HPV vaccine for adolescent girls. These determinants should be taken into consideration in order to successfully implement HPV vaccination into National Immunization Programs

  • Spatial effects of mosquito bednets on child mortality

    Open AccessLaura Gosoniu, Penelope Vounatsou et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    In this multiyear, 25 village assessment, despite substantial known inadequate insecticide-treatment for bed nets, the density of household bed net ownership was significantly associated with all cause child mortality reduction. The absence of community effect of bednets in our study area might be explained by (1) the small proportion of nets which are treated with insecticide, and (2) the relative homogeneity of coverage with nets in the area. T…

  • Use and misuse of a discount voucher scheme as a subsidy for insecticide-treated nets for malaria control in southern Tanzania

    Open AccessAdriana Tami, Juliet Mbati et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2006Citada por: 2Referências: 8

    Since 1997, discount vouchers for insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) have been used in two rural districts of southern Tanzania as a way to target subsidies to children under 5 years and pregnant women. We assessed appropriate use and misuse of discount vouchers through a follow-up study of 104 randomly selected vouchers. We traced these vouchers from their original issue in mother-and-child health (MCH) clinics through to being redeemed at a sales …
