We categorized levels of self-reported stress, anxiety, worry, and sleep among US college university students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Few previous investigations on correlates of HPV vaccine uptake have included Hispanics, a group known to disproportionately high risk cervical cancer.Rural Hispanic mothers daughters aged 9-17 (n=78) were recruited at local community events participate in standardized Spanish-language survey that examined factors related uptake.Approximately 35% the reported their daughter had received least one dose vaccine. Mothers who heard more likely vaccinated (p<.01). thought daughter's father would...
The Sabes Study evaluated a treatment-as-prevention intervention among cisgender men who have sex with and transgender women in Lima, Peru—populations disproportionately affected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. was designed to prevent onward transmission of HIV identifying HIV-negative high-risk individuals, testing them monthly for presence HIV, then rapidly treating those became HIV-positive. main outcome interest development model predicting population-level impact...
Monitoring COVID-19 infection risk among health care workers (HCWs) is a public priority. We examined the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 HCWs following fall surge in Minnesota, and before after vaccination. Additionally, we assessed demographic occupational factors for infection.We conducted two rounds testing cohort HCWs: samples round 1 were collected from 11/22/20-02/21/21 2 12/18/20-02/15/21. Demographic exposures with logistic regression age, sex, healthcare role setting, number children...
Seasonal influenza vaccination rates remain low, and contribute to preventable cases, hospitalizations, deaths in the US. While numerous interventions have been implemented increase vaccine uptake, there is a need determine which most willingness, particularly among age groups with that plateaued at suboptimal levels. This study aimed quantify relative effect of multiple on willingness receive three using series hypothetical situations different behavioral interventions. We assessed impact...
To examine barriers and facilitators of biomedical research participation among Hispanics in a rural community Washington State.Questionnaires addressed socio-demographics, health care access, studies. This is descriptive analysis the findings.Barriers include need to for family members (82%), fear having pay treatments (74%), cultural beliefs (65%), lack time (75%) trust (71%), degree hassle (73%). Facilitators friend/relative with disease being researched (80%) monetary compensation...
It is unclear how broadly aware parents are of the concept herd immunity and whether consider community benefits vaccination when making decisions about their child's vaccinations. We aimed to determine educating community-level measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) local rates would impact concern risk measles a outbreak. conducted an electronic survey among Minnesota children aged 6–18 years in August 2016. assessed baseline knowledge immunity, asked participants estimate MMR coverage county,...
Background Stroke survivors have high rates of mortality and recurrent stroke. patients are often unable to participate in decision making, highlighting the need for advance care planning ( ACP ) poststroke care. We sought better understand experiences perceptions around stroke risk our clinic. Methods Results Clinic completed Planning After Survival survey assessing (1) directive AD documentation conversations, (2) factors associated with ADs , (3) risk, (4) needs. used a physician...
The Sabes study, a treatment as prevention intervention in Peru, tested the hypothesis that initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) early HIV infection when viral load is high, would markedly reduce onward transmission among high-risk men who have sex with (MSM) and transgender women (TW). We investigated potential population-level benefits of detection after acquisition rapid initiation ART.We designed dynamic model to simulate epidemic MSM TW calibrated data on prevalence ART coverage from...
Abstract Transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is possible among symptom-free individuals. Patients are avoiding medically necessary healthcare visits for fear becoming infected in the setting. We screened 489 workers SARS-CoV-2 and found no positive results, strongly suggesting that prevalence was <1%.
Faced with the pandemic of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), healthcare professionals (HCPs) in intensive care units (ICU) adjusted their organizational, operational, and personal procedures to ensure for COVID-19 patients. We used grounded theory approach explore ICU HCPs' perspectives on professional action at beginning Germany from March July 2020. The study aimed examine implicit principles negotiating social practice interaction HCPs an exceptional situation, which was characterized by a...
Background There is a critical need to identify the drivers of willingness receive new vaccines against emerging and epidemic diseases. A discrete choice experiment ideal approach evaluating how individuals weigh multiple attributes simultaneously. We assessed degree which six were associated with be vaccinated among university students in Uganda. Methods conducted single-profile at Makerere University 2019. Participants asked whether or not they would 8 unique scenarios where varied by...
