Monsoon weather and food security in Pakistan
The intensification of monsoon weather anomalies due to climate change poses significant challenges to food security in South East Asia. In this paper we focus on Pakistan, to understand how dry conditions during the monsoon season affect food security. Using the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, we examine the effects of drier monsoon seasons on self-assessed food security. For this purpose, we leverage Pakistan Social and Liv…
Testing the effects of segmented crowdsource-selected messages to improve intentions to follow colorectal cancer screening recommendations
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in the United States (U.S.). CRC screening (CRCS) is an important method of cancer prevention and early detection, but often receives less public attention than other cancer and screening types. Regular CRCS is recommended for most individuals aged 45–75, though screening rates are lower than desired in the U.S. Despite similar screening rates, Black Americans ex…
Constructing Social Vulnerability Indexes with Increased Data and Machine Learning Highlight the Importance of Wealth Across Global Contexts
We consider the availability of new harmonized data sources and novel machine learning methodologies in the construction of a social vulnerability index (SoVI), a multidimensional measure that defines how individuals’ and communities may respond to hazards including natural disasters, economic changes, and global health crises. The factors underpinning social vulnerability—namely, economic status, age, disability, language, ethnicity, and locatio…
Area-based determinants of outreach vaccination for reaching vulnerable populations
The objective of this study is to gain a comparative understanding of spatial determinants for outreach and clinic vaccination, which is critical for operationalizing efforts and breaking down structural biases; particularly relevant in countries where resources are low, and sub-region variance is high. Leveraging a massive effort to digitize public system reporting by Lady and Community Health Workers (CHWs) with geo-located data on over 4 milli…
Structural racism and homophobia evaluated through social media sentiment combined with activity spaces and associations with mental health among young sexual minority men
Building Public Health Surveillance 3.0
In response to rapidly changing societal conditions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, we summarize data sources with potential to produce timely and spatially granular measures of physical, economic, and social conditions relevant to public health surveillance, and we briefly describe emerging analytic methods to improve small-area estimation. To inform this article, we reviewed published systematic review articles set in the United States fro…
Covid-19 transforms health care through telemedicine
This study provides data on the feasibility and impact of video-enabled telemedicine use among patients and providers and its impact on urgent and nonurgent healthcare delivery from one large health system (NYU Langone Health) at the epicenter of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States. Between March 2nd and April 14th 2020, telemedicine visits increased from 102.4 daily to 801.6 daily. (683% increase) in urgent care…

Role of the Built and Online Social Environments on Expression of Dining on Instagram
Online social communities are becoming windows for learning more about the health of populations, through information about our health-related behaviors and outcomes from daily life. At the same time, just as public health data and theory has shown that aspects of the built environment can affect our health-related behaviors and outcomes, it is also possible that online social environments (e.g., posts and other attributes of our online social ne…
Flu Near You
Objectives. We summarized Flu Near You (FNY) data from the 2012–2013 and 2013–2014 influenza seasons in the United States. Methods. FNY collects limited demographic characteristic information upon registration, and prompts users each Monday to report symptoms of influenza-like illness (ILI) experienced during the previous week. We calculated the descriptive statistics and rates of ILI for the 2012–2013 and 2013–2014 seasons. We compared raw and n…
