Changing Ecosystems and the Role of One Health
Observations of Delayed Changes in Respiratory Function among Allergy Clinic Patients Exposed to Wildfire Smoke
Wildfires have increased in frequency and magnitude and pose a significant public health challenge. The principal objective of this study was to assess the impact of wildfire smoke on respiratory peak flow performance of patients exposed to two different wildfire events. This longitudinal study utilized an observational approach and a cohort study design with a patient-level clinical dataset from a local outpatient allergy clinic ( n = 842). Mete…
Time trends of overweight and obesity among schoolchildren in Kuwait over a 13-year period (2007–2019)
Objectives: This study aimed to examine age-specific trends in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in schoolchildren in Kuwait over a 13-year period (2007 to 2019) using the WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the International Obesity Taskforce (IOTF) definitions. Design: Using cross-sectional approach, Kuwait Nutrition Surveillance System (KNSS) objectively measured weight and height of schoolchildren over a 13-ye…
Service-learning study-abroad and Europe’s migration crisis – a case study
The present article analyzes the service-learning experiences of US students during a short-term study-abroad trip to Germany in July 2017. The study identified a key, overarching challenge: the gap between students’ expectations and the actual study-abroad outcome. The overall service-learning study-abroad experience was deemed very positive for the students. Almost all students reported to have gained a significantly increased knowledge about E…
Needlestick injury prevention training among health care workers in the Caribbean
The rate of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections among health care workers that is caused by sharps injuries is higher in the Caribbean and Latin America than in other regions of the world. To respond to and reduce occupational exposures to bloodborne pathogens while also strengthening capacities in the Caribbean, needlestick injury prevention training programs for health care workers…
Changing Discourses in Climate Health
Health Service Utilization and Poor Health Reporting in Asthma Patients
Continuity in care and better management of the diseases may result in less demand for emergency department services and hospitalization. Health care systems need to recognize that asthma patients are increasingly more likely to be characterized as frequent utilizers of both primary and emergency department care as the threshold for what constitutes frequent utilization increases. Investments in prevention and better management of the chronic con…
Impacts of Climate Change on Caribbean Life
We appreciate Ford’s documentation of the many ways in which climate change threatens the traditional lifestyles and health of indigenous and other populations.1 As Ford states, the impacts of climate change on indigenous peoples are primarily studied in Australia and the Arctic, leaving much unknown about their global scale and manifestations in other regions.1 We believe that small island communities such as the Caribbean are also vulnerable to…
