Multiple adverse childhood experiences and maternal mental health outcomes among Kenyan mothers with and without HIV
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) reflect childhood exposure to abuse, neglect, and family stressors, and there is consistent evidence that ACEs are associated with subsequent poor mental health outcomes. ACEs experienced by women who are mothers (referred to as maternal ACEs) can have lasting effects for mothers and may have impacts transmitted to their children. Few…
Tiny but Mighty: Association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and infant mortality in a North Carolina Birth Cohort (2003-2015)
Many studies have quantified the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and adult mortality. Several studies have evaluated particulate matter (PM10) and postneonatal mortality, but there are relatively few studies about PM2.5 and infant mortality. We investigated the association between long-term PM2.5 exposure and all infant mortality, neonatal mortality and postneonatal mortality.Methods: We conducted an…
Long COVID in young adults on a university campus
To determine the prevalence of long COVID in young adults in a university setting and to describe risk factors for long COVID in this population Methods: This is a prospective cohort study conducted between December 2021 and February 2023 among research study participants in the Husky Coronavirus Testing (HCT) program at the University of Washington…
Workplace Suicides Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Results from the National Violent Death Reporting System, 2013-2020
This study examines the occurrence of workplace suicides and their contextual factors before and during the COVID-19 pandemic using data from the Centers for Disease Control’s National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). The study analyzes demographic, geographical, occupation, and circumstantial factors in workplace suicides and explores changes in these factors during the pandemic. The data…
Evaluating the association of prenatal PrEP exposure with perinatal and growth outcomes from infancy through early childhood
As pre-exposure prophlaxis (PrEP) implementation continues to scale-up among pregnant populations, accruing safety data following prenatal PrEP exposure remains important. Methods Data from the PrEP Implementation for Mothers in Antenatal Care study (NCT03070600) was analyzed to evaluate the relationship between prenatal PrEP exposure and birth and infant/child outcomes. Women enrolled during pregnancy at 20 maternal…
Relationship between bacterial diversity, specific urethral bacteria and incident NGU in men who have sex with women
Nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) is a common syndrome in men that is not well understood. Prior studies have investigated factors associated with prevalent NGU, but factors associated with incident NGU have rarely been examined. We evaluated potential precursors of incident NGU in a group of men who have sex with women (MSW) attending a sexual health…
Association of Patient Characteristics with Risk of Rheumatic Heart Disease in First-Degree Relatives of Index Cases in Nepal
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. First-degree relatives (FDR) of RHD patients share known risk factors for RHD: poverty, poor living conditions, crowding, poor hygiene, and potential shared genetic characteristics that lead to higher RHD risk. We sought to determine whether FDR screening would…
Association between environmental modifiable risk score and molecular subtypes in colorectal cancer patients
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with several modifiable environmental risks, including dietary and non-dietary factors like calcium intake and smoking habits. It is unknown if the association between overall environmental risk and CRC is differentially associated with certain molecular subtypes.Methods: A total of 6389 cases and 6835 controls of European ancestry from 11 observational studies…
Does Racial Residential Segregation Influence Smoking Behaviors? The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Tobacco cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the United States. Racial residential segregation (RRS) in American cities may be contributing to high rates of smoking in some communities. Yet, limited research exists investigating the association between segregation and smoking behaviors. The aim of this study was to examine the…
The role of multivitamins: an investigation into the association with colorectal cancer survival
Nutritional supplements are used by over half of United States adults, and many patients use supplements for their perceived anti-cancer benefit. Current evidence for the relationship between multivitamin use and colorectal cancer (CRC) survival is sparse. Some studies suggest that multivitamins may divert attention from healthful food-based diets or multivitamin use may be reflected in…
