Universal childhood vaccination against varicella began in the United States as a 1-dose schedule 1996, changing to 2-dose 2006. The exogenous boosting hypothesis, which postulates that reexposure circulating wild-type delays onset of herpes zoster, predicts transient increase incidence peaking adults 15-35 years after start vaccination.This was retrospective study administrative claims data from MarketScan Commercial and Medicare databases between 1991-2016. Outcome measures were incidences...
Despite the increasing use of remote measurement technologies (RMT) such as wearables or biosensors in health care programs, challenges associated with selecting and implementing these persist. Many programs that RMT rely on commercially available, "off-the-shelf" devices to collect patient data. However, validation is sparse, technology landscape constantly changing, relative benefits between device options are often unclear, research provider preferences lacking.
Background Tobacco control models are mathematical predicting tobacco-related outcomes in defined populations. The policy simulation model is considered as a subcategory of tobacco simulating the potential options. However, we could not identify any existing tool specifically designed to assess quality models. Objective aims this systematic methodology review to: (1) best modeling practices, (2) highlight common pitfalls, and (3) develop recommendations Crucially, these can empower users...

<h3>Background</h3> Smoking remains a top public health priority, killing over 6m people annually. Planning future tobacco control policies can greatly benefit from population prediction models for use (mathematical that simulate exposure and its impact in the population). Those were mainly developed to project trends policy as identified systematic review published 2013. Common outcomes changes behaviour, tobacco-related morbidity/mortality, economic impact. We updated, expanded enhanced...
<h3>Background</h3> Smoking prevalence has declined considerably in recent decades. However, it still accounts for approximately 17% of deaths and over 450,000 hospital admissions annually England. In addition, inequalities smoking persist. Recognising the need stricter tobacco policies, an All-Party Parliament Group recently recommended increasing Minimum Age to Legal Access 21(MALA21) Enforced United States, this policy seen a 30% reduction 18–21 year age group since 2019. research, we...
<h3>Background</h3> The UK smoking prevalence is decreasing, however, the inequality gap increasing. A new Tobacco Strategy being finalised and it urgently needs further underpinning research.Smoking cessation services (SCS) contributed around 15% of reduction in between 2001–2016. However, even these benefits are jeopardy, given proposed funding cuts to SCS. Using a previously validated microsimulation model, we quantitively compared three future SCS scenarios: maintaining, disinvesting, or...
