  Objective To compare health outcomes following initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for asymptomatic HIV-infected pregnant women at different CD4 levels. Methods We analyzed data from 706 asymptomatic HIV-infected Ethiopian women initiating ART during pregnancy between February 2012 and October 2016. The outcomes evaluated were CD4 gain, CD4 normalization (CD4 count ≥750 cells/mm3) and occurrence of HIV-related clinical events after twelve months of treatment. Result On average, CD4 count (cells/mm3) increased from 391 (95% CI: 372–409) at baseline to 523 (95% CI: 495–551) after twelve months of treatment. Rate of CD4 gain was higher among women with baseline CD4 between 350 and 499 compared to CD4 ≥500 (207 versus 6, p < 0.001). But women with baseline CD4 between 350 and 499 could not catch up with women with CD4 ≥500. Women with baseline CD4 ≥500 had significantly higher likelihood of achieving CD4 normalization as compared to those with CD4 between 350 and 499 (AOR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.13–0.76). No strong evidence of differential risk in the occurrence of HIV-related clinical events. Conclusion Starting ART for asymptomatic HIV-infected women with CD4 count ≥500 cells/mm3 was beneficial to preserve or recover immunity after 12 months of treatment in a resource limited setting.

  Hip fractures are associated with high excess mortality. Education is an important determinant of health, but little is known about educational inequalities in post-hip fracture mortality. Our objective was to investigate educational inequalities in post-hip fracture mortality and to examine whether comorbidity or family composition could explain any association. We conducted a register-based population study of Norwegians aged 50 years and older from 2002 to 2010. We measured total mortality according to educational attainment in 56,269 hip fracture patients (NORHip) and in the general Norwegian population. Both absolute and relative educational inequalities in mortality in people with and without hip fracture were compared. There was an educational gradient in post-hip fracture mortality in both sexes. Compared with those with primary education only, the age-adjusted relative risk (RR) of mortality in hip fracture patients with tertiary education was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-0.87) in men and 0.79 (95% CI 0.75-0.84) in women. Additional adjustments for Charlson comorbidity index, marital status, and number of children did not materially change the estimates. Regardless of educational attainment, the 1-year age-adjusted mortality was three- to fivefold higher in hip fracture patients compared with peers in the general population without fracture. The absolute differences in 1-year mortality according to educational attainment were considerably larger in hip fracture patients than in the population without hip fracture. Absolute educational inequalities in mortality were higher after hip fracture compared with the general population without hip fracture and were not mediated by comorbidity or family composition. Investigation of other possible mediating factors might help to identify new targets for interventions, based on lower educational attainment, to reduce post-hip fracture mortality.

  The objective of this study was to examine women’s perceptions after participation in a motivational and gender-sensitive program (VINN) and to explore what was experienced as helpful. The qualitative data consisted of reports and transcriptions from 13 group interviews with 65 participants on probation or imprisoned in Sweden, Denmark, Russia, Estonia and Norway. The data were analysed according to systematic text condensation. The participants’ perceptions could be grouped into the following clusters: confidence and trust, deeper understanding, change and future hopes. The women appreciated the collaborative atmosphere focusing on quality of life, autonomy, strengths, coping and resources. The most beneficial experiences reported, regardless of country, were that their personal repertoires of actions were expanded during their participation, and their confidence in their ability to desist from crime and substance abuse in the future increased. The results support the program’s salutogenic approach combined with motivational interviewing as a bridge to change. Future research should investigate whether the participants report sustainability of the changes.

  To develop a framework, using Louisiana as a case study, for estimating the potential cost savings to individual states if families were able to meet current recommendations for breastfeeding. Using cost-analyses methods, cost savings, as well as, case and death reductions of infant illnesses and deaths on four selected infant diseases (respiratory tract infections, gastroenteritis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) were calculated utilizing the most recent data of breastfeeding and low/very low birth weight rates in Louisiana. To estimate the incidence of a disease in exclusive breastfed infants and formula fed infants respectively, we used the following formula: x = s/br + 1 - b. Here "x" is the incidence rate of one disease in formula fed infants, "s" is the overall incidence of the disease, "b" is current breastfeeding rate and "r" is the odds ratios in favor of breastfeeding. A total of $216,103,368 could be saved and 18 infant deaths prevented, by these four conditions alone, if 90% of newborns in Louisiana were exclusive breastfed for the first 6 months of life ($186,371,125 in savings and 16 infant deaths prevented with 80% compliance). Increased rates of breastfeeding to the level of Healthy People 2020 goals and beyond would yield significant cost savings to Louisiana. Other US states can use the presented framework to demonstrate cost savings associated with breastfeeding promotion and support interventions in their respective states.

  Ethnic minorities living in the US have lower utilization and access to prenatal care, resulting in an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The present study examines utilization of prenatal care, perceived pregnancy related health, and perceived risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes among Arab women living in the USA cross-sectional study was conducted, consisting of a convenience sample of 170 Arab women. A structured questionnaire was administered by a face-to-face or telephone interview. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted Odds Ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals, controlling for potential confounders. All study participants had received prenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, and 90% had their first prenatal care visit before the 12th gestational week. The Arab women who were older (P = 0.02), those with 12 years of education or less (P = 0.002), and those who had lived in the US more than five years (P = 0.0002) were more likely to report four or more pregnancies. In addition, more than one-third of the women reported having experienced a miscarriage (35.4%), which was significantly associated with gravida status (P < 0.001). An association between perceived susceptibility for spontaneous abortion and stillbirth was also demonstrated (P < 0.0001). Although Arab women reported good coverage of prenatal care, they perceived themselves as susceptible for several pregnancy complications and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Clinical guidelines for prenatal care to Arab women should therefore focus on their high parity and likelihood of miscarriages, in an attempt to reduce their risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

  OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of golimumab on haemoglobin levels in patients with RA, PsA or AS. METHODS: Secondary analysis was performed on integrated data from five randomized controlled studies: three RA, one PsA and one AS (2303 patients total). Golimumab 50 or 100 mg was injected s.c. every 4 weeks with or without MTX. Control groups received placebo injections plus MTX or background therapy. Patients with haemoglobin levels below the age- and sex-specific normal ranges were considered to have anaemia. Ferritin levels were used to distinguish anaemia of mixed aetiology (≥ 15 and <60 ng/ml) and anaemia of inflammation (≥ 60 ng/ml). Changes from baseline to weeks 14 and 24 in haemoglobin level were compared between treatment groups using an analysis of variance on the van der Waerden normal scores. RESULTS: At baseline, 21% of RA patients, 9% of PsA patients and 15% of AS patients had anaemia. Of these, 24%, 57% and 25%, respectively, had anaemia of inflammation. The median increase from baseline to week 14 in the haemoglobin level of anaemic patients was 0.3 g/dl in the control group and 0.9 g/dl in the golimumab group (P < 0.001). Haemoglobin levels improved within the subgroups of patients with anaemia of mixed aetiology (control, 0.4 g/dl vs golimumab, 0.7 g/dl) (P = 0.305) and with anaemia of inflammation (0.2 vs 1.4 g/dl, respectively) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, patients receiving golimumab treatment had significantly improved haemoglobin levels, particularly among patients with anaemia of inflammation.

  BACKGROUND: Increasingly, national programs and leaders are looking at interdisciplinary collaborations as essential to future research. Twelve years ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) developed and implemented the Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) K12 program to focus on interdisciplinary mentored career development for junior faculty in women's health research. METHODS: We applied a mixed-methods approach using an electronic survey and in-person presentations and discussions to understand best practices and lessons learned for interdisciplinary mentoring across BIRCWH K12 program leaders. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: We received responses from all 29 active BIRCWH programs. Factors associated with success included ensuring sufficient protected time for regular (weekly or biweekly) mentoring; mentors promoting the research independence of the Scholar; a team mentoring approach, including career as well as content mentors; and explicit and clear expectations outlined between the Scholar and mentor. The majority of programs conduct formal evaluations of mentorship, and 79% of programs offer training in mentorship for either Scholars, mentors, or both. This article presents program leaders' best practices, challenges, and lessons learned from mentoring junior faculty who are conducting women's health research, whether basic, clinical, behavioral, translational, or health services research, using an interdisciplinary mentoring approach.

  As a community health education center affiliated with an academic institution, we recognize that by investing in the professional development of our students, we not only maximize our own outcomes but those of our students as well. Our project, Creating Community Connections, was developed to aid the work of our Center in characterizing the evolving community landscape following Hurricane Katrina while providing opportunities for students to engage in experiential learning. Students in the project could gain skills in program planning and community assessment, as well as leadership and communications. Twenty-three students worked on the project during its 2 years, developing data collection tools, organizing and conducting key informant interviews, facilitating focus groups and community forums, managing data, and summarizing project findings for community presentations. Participation in this project allowed our students to grow as public health leaders and researchers while gaining a greater appreciation for community collaboration.

  BACKGROUND: The Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Institutes and Centers and the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality (AHRQ) have sponsored an interdisciplinary research career development program in five funding cycles since 2000 through a K12 mechanism titled "Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH)." As of 2010, 407 scholars have been supported in interdisciplinary women's health research and a total of 63 BIRCWH program awards have been made to 41 institutions across the U.S. METHODS: In an effort to share practical approaches to interdisciplinary research training, currently funded BIRCWH sites were invited to submit 300-word bullet-point style summaries describing their best practices in interdisciplinary research training following a common format with an emphasis on practices that are innovative, can be reproduced in other places, and advance women's health research. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Twenty-six program narratives provide unique perspectives along with common elements and themes in interdisciplinary research training best practices.

  Onsdag 14. april 2021 la Koronakommisjonen frem sin rapport om myndighetenes håndtering av pandemien. Rapporten konkluderer med at vi burde vært bedre forberedt på en slik krise, men påpeker at vi må forberede oss på en ny. Leder av kommisjonen Stener Kvinnesland påpeker at pandemien har truffet oss ulikt. Vanskeligstilte har fått det vanskeligere. I denne kronikken forklarer vi hvorfor dette skjer både i Norge og andre land, og hva vi kan gjøre med det.

  Helsefremmende samhandling er en bok om hvordan gode krefter kan arbeide for et sunt og trygt lokalsamfunn. Leseren innføres i et salutogent perspektiv heller enn en patologisk orientert tilnærming. Hovedtanken er å styrke individ, samfunn og miljø mot bedre folkehelse, trivsel og velferd. Helsefremmende natur- og kulturaktiviteter kan benyttes av alle uten de store kostnadene. Boken viser bredden i folkehelsearbeidet, er kunnskapsbasert og refererer til praktiske erfaringer, undersøkelser og fakta. De ulike kapittelforfatterne viser hvordan denne tilnærmingen kan supplere den tradisjonelle behandling som tilbys i dagens helsevesen og NAV. De bidrar dessuten til en bærekraftig utvikling, og til forebygging av helseplager blant alle innbyggerne, også innvandrere. Denne boken er aktuell for studenter og de som jobber innen folkehelse, samfunnsmedisin og forebyggende helsearbeid. Dette gjelder folkehelsekoordinatorer, leger, sykepleiere, psykologer og lærere, samt ansatte i ideelle organisasjoner, NAV, sosialomsorg, offentlige etater og næringsliv. Gunnar Tellnes er professor i samfunnsmedisin ved Universitetet i Oslo og rådgivende overlege i NAV Akershus. Han var initiativtaker til Nasjonalt senter for Natur-Kultur-Helse (NaKuHel) i Asker.

  In Norway few municipalities initiate research. According to policy they have an accomplice liability, but no responsibility in financing or conducting research. Thus a limited amount of research is implemented on the municipality’s premises. How can an academic community partnership between the City Health Department and the University in Oslo facilitate and increase the participation of practitioners in all aspects of the research process? The Municipality of Oslo and the University of Oslo signed partnership intent to encourage cooperation in research, education, personnel and service development and innovation. Needs assessment exploring the priority areas for collaboration and strengthening was undertaken. Ongoing and potential research projects and collaborative efforts were identified. A total of 12 cooperative research projects, all with a health perspective, have been initiated. Of these 6 are linked to PhD projects. The largest public health project, “New mothers”, is anchored in the municipality health service, based on the needs and challenges of the maternal and child population. Initially as pilot in one of the districts in Oslo, it is now supported by the city council and anchored in the administration. Employing community based participatory methods including all stakeholders in the district; the mothers, the Medical chief, the Mother and Child Health Care Service; we were able to design, implement and demonstrate the prospects of the project. Policy guides intent but not responsibility for conducting research at municipal levels in Norway. Academic community partnership facilitates community anchored research projects. Community based participatory methods facilitate design, implementation, support and success of research projects. Academic community partnership increases success of policy anchored public health research in the municipality enhancing efficacy and quality of health services.

  Description of the problem: Stovner district has 30 100 inhabitants, 49% minorities from 137 countries, is located in Oslo, Norway. All pregnant mothers and children are offered free health care services and reaches 96% of the eligible population. Public health nurse (PHNs) offer services for mother and child, including health check-ups and vaccinations. “New mothers” is an early intervention public health project, aimed at improving parent and child relationship, child development, children's social adaptation, school readiness, and possibly reduce costly secondary and tertiary preventive measures. Each new mother is invited to have a “family” PHN that visit her during pregnancy and follow her until the child is two years. This is a new way of working for the PHNs and the challenges are to document the strategies used and knowledge adopted by the PHNs during this experience. Results: Through monthly reflection papers guided by semi-structured questions, the PHNs are encouraged to critically reflect on their choices and strategies. The cases and reflections are openly discussed each month in a group with the PHNs, the project coordinator and the evaluator. This is to capture and discuss the methods, experience and knowledge used. This facilitates peer learning between the PHNs, as well as offering a coherent method for the data collection for the evaluation, and future scale-up and training. Lessons: PHNs experience the process of writing reflection papers as an opportunity to critical reflects on own practice. Group discussions opens for peer learning and increases ability to reflect on own practice. Use of Critical reflection in public health nursing care in a multi ethic population facilitates project evaluation and identifies core competencies required for scale-up and training. Main message: Critical reflection is a useful method to capture praxis, advance practitioner’s knowledge, evaluate impact of change in practice, and capture knowledge adopted during service development.
