If we keep on doing what have been doing, are going to getting getting. Concerns about the gap between science and practice longstanding. There is a need for new approaches supplement existing of research models evolving community-centered bridging this gap. In article, present Interactive Systems Framework Dissemination Implementation (ISF) that uses aspects models. The framework presents three systems: Prevention Synthesis Translation System (which distills information innovations...
An estimated 50,000 persons die annually in the United States as a result of violence-related injuries. This report summarizes data from CDC's National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) regarding violent deaths 16 U.S. states for 2005. Results are reported by sex, age group, race/ethnicity, marital status, location injury, method circumstances and other selected characteristics.2005.NVDRS collects obtained death certificates, coroner/medical examiner reports, law enforcement reports....

Homicide-followed-by-suicide (referred to as "homicide-suicide") incidents are rare events but can have a profound impact on families and communities. A better understanding of perpetrator characteristics how they compare with those other homicide suspects suicide decedents might provide insight into the nature these violent acts.

In response to calls for greater efforts reduce youth suicide, the Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) Memorial Act has provided funding 68 state, territory, and tribal community grants, 74 college campus grants suicide prevention efforts. Suicide activities supported by GLS grantees have included education, training programs (including gatekeeper training), screening activities, infrastructure improved linkages services, crisis hotlines, partnerships. Through participation in both local- cross-site...
Information and emotions towards public health issues could spread widely through online social networks. Although aggregate metrics on the volume of information diffusion are available, we know little about how spreads Health be transmitted from one to many (i.e. broadcasting) or a chain individual viral spreading). The aim this study is examine spreading pattern Ebola Twitter identify influential users regarding messages.Our data was purchased GNIP. We obtained all Ebola-related tweets...
Public health threats, such as emerging infectious diseases, terrorism, environmental catastrophes, and natural disasters, all require effective communication. Emergency risk communication is a critical component of public emergency planning response. It complex process involving variety constructs that interact in dynamic ways over time. While generally recognized an important tool for management response, the specific elements, processes, outcomes are not well described have been...
To help inform policy discussions about postpandemic telemedicine reimbursement and regulations, we conducted dual nationally representative surveys among primary care physicians patients. Although majorities of both populations reported satisfaction with video visits during the pandemic, 80 percent would prefer to provide only a small share or no via in future, 36 patients seek by phone. Most (60 percent) felt that quality was generally inferior in-person care, cited lack physical exam as...

There is a well-known gap between science and practice. To address this in the areas of Child Maltreatment (CM) Youth Violence (Y/V), Division Prevention (DVP) at Centers for Disease Control (CDC) embarked on Dissemination/Implementation (D/I) planning project. The project was aimed identifying better ways to connect research practice through reviews literature as well discussions with experts violence prevention utilization.
