In January 2015, a total of 11 new diagnoses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection were reported in small community Indiana. We investigated the extent and cause outbreak implemented control measures.We identified an outbreak-related case as laboratory-confirmed HIV newly diagnosed after October 1, 2014, person who either resided Scott County, Indiana, or was named by another patient syringe-sharing sexual partner. polymerase (pol) sequences from patients phylogenetically analyzed,...
In the United States, 9% of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections diagnosed in 2015 were attributed to injection drug use (1). 2015, 79% diagnoses HIV infection among persons who inject drugs occurred urban areas (2). To monitor prevalence and associated behaviors drugs, CDC's National Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) conducts interviews testing selected metropolitan statistical (MSAs) (3). The 20 MSAs was 7%. a behavioral analysis HIV-negative an estimated 27% receptively shared...
We demonstrate that integration of laboratory, phylogenetic, and epidemiologic data sources allow detailed reconstruction an outbreak. High-resolution outbreak phylodynamics allows prevention intervention strategies to be tailored community needs.
Research on labor trafficking faces many methodological challenges, which make it difficult to provide reliable estimates of the problem. In this research, we applied respondent-driven sampling and unique access migrant communities in San Diego County, California, estimate extent violations one America’s largest Spanish-speaking immigrant destinations. We found that 30 percent undocumented laborers were victims trafficking, 55 other abuses, about half these victimization experiences occurred...
Reported outbreaks of invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infections among people who inject drugs (PWID) and experiencing homelessness (PEH) have increased, concurrent with rising US iGAS rates. We describe epidemiology patients these risk factors.We analyzed from population-based Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs) at 10 sites 2010 to 2017. Cases were defined as GAS isolated a normally sterile site or wound in necrotizing fasciitis streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. isolates emm...
Despite three decades of scholarship on economic restructuring in the United States, employers' violations minimum wage, overtime and other workplace laws remain understudied. This article begins to fill gap by presenting evidence from a large-scale, original worker survey that draws recent advances sampling methodology reach vulnerable workers. Our findings suggest America's largest cities, employment labor are pervasive across low-wage industries occupations, affecting wide range But while...
Drawing on an innovative, representative survey of workers in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City, the authors analyze minimum wage, overtime, other workplace violations low-wage labor market. They document significant interindustry variation both mix prevalence violations, they show that while differences workforce composition are important explaining variation, job employer characteristics play stronger role. The suggest industry noncompliance rates shaped by product market...
Population-based health information on urban Aboriginal populations in Canada is limited due to challenges with the identification of persons existing data sets. The main objective Our Health Counts (OHC) project was work partnership stakeholders generate a culturally relevant, representative baseline set for three communities Ontario, Canada.Respondent-driven sampling (RDS).Hamilton, Canada.The OHC study, De dwa da dehs ney >s Access Centre (DAHC), recruited 554 First Nations adults living...
The association of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) use with pneumonia hospitalization in older adults, especially those underlying medical conditions, is not well described.To evaluate the PCV13 pneumonia, non-health care-associated (non-HA) and lobar (LP) among US Medicare beneficiaries 65 years or older.This cohort study time-varying exposure assignment analyzed claims data from enrolled Parts A/B a residence 50 states District Columbia by September 1, 2014. New within 6...
Health determinants and outcomes are not well described for the growing population of Inuit living in southern urban areas Canada despite known striking health disparities north. The objective this study was to work partnership with Tungasuvvingat (TI) develop prevalence estimates key indicators health, including determinants, status outcomes, services access Ottawa, Canada.We employed community-based respondent driven sampling (RDS) a comprehensive assessment survey collect primary data...

Intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) reduces a newborn's risk of group B streptococcal infection (GBS) but may lead to an increased childhood body mass index (BMI).
Abstract Background Data on behavioral correlates of mental illness among young people who inject drugs (PWID) are limited. We examine injection risks and healthcare use PWID with probable serious (PSMI). Methods People were recruited interviewed in 20 US cities for 2015 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance. Probable was assessed using the Kessler-6 screening scale. Bivariate analyses log-linked Poisson regression generalized estimating equations adjusted design covariates conducted to...
Abstract Classical Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) estimators are based on a Markov Process model in which sampling occurs with replacement. Given that respondents generally cannot be interviewed more than once, this assumption is counterfactual. We join recent work by Gile and Handcock exploring the implications of sampling-with-replacement for bias RDS estimators. differ from previous studies examining wider range fractions using not only simulations but also formal proofs. One key...

In the first 2 years after a nationwide mass vaccination campaign of 1-29-year-olds with meningococcal serogroup A conjugate vaccine (MenAfriVac) in Burkina Faso, carriage and disease due to Neisseria meningitidis were nearly eliminated. We aimed assess long-term effect MenAfriVac on herd immunity.We did four cross-sectional studies people aged 9 months 36 two districts Faso between May 2, 2016, Nov 6, 2017. Demographic information oropharyngeal swabs collected. Meningococcal isolates...

Senegal introduced a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in October 2013, given at 6, 10, and 14 weeks of age. We document trends meningitis pneumonia after the PCV13 introduction.From 2010-October 2016, hospitalization data for clinical children aged <5 years were collected from logbooks large, tertiary, pediatric hospital Dakar. used set predetermined keywords to define hospitalizations extraction registers. conducted time-series analysis compared before introduction,...
In this study, the authors identify and analyze a distinct understudied source of gender inequality: differences in violations wage-related workplace laws. The find that women have significantly higher rates minimum wage overtime than men also lose more their earnings to theft men. case violations, nativity immigration status strongly mediate difference. Multivariate analysis suggests demand-side characteristics—occupation measures nonstandard work informality—account for difference do...
Abstract Background Efficacy of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) against pneumonia in adults aged &gt;65 years was shown a 2014 clinical trial. However, its benefits countries with mature PCV infant program remain unclear. In August 2014, PCV13 recommended for all US years. We evaluated the direct effect this recommendation on hospitalizations among elderly. Methods analyzed claims data from Medicare beneficiaries enrolled part A/B during September 1, through December 31,...
