Summary of your 'study carrel' ============================== This is a summary of your Distant Reader 'study carrel'. The Distant Reader harvested & cached your content into a collection/corpus. It then applied sets of natural language processing and text mining against the collection. The results of this process was reduced to a database file -- a 'study carrel'. The study carrel can then be queried, thus bringing light specific characteristics for your collection. These characteristics can help you summarize the collection as well as enumerate things you might want to investigate more closely. This report is a terse narrative report, and when processing is complete you will be linked to a more complete narrative report.

influenza summary = Four questions related to respondents'' anticipated compliance with a physician''s advice to stay home if they had a common cold, seasonal influenza, pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza or avian influenza were incorporated into QSS 2009, with responses recorded using a balanced Likert scale ranging from "very unlikely" to "very likely." Discordance between responses for different diseases was analysed using McNemar''s test. This study was undertaken during the height of the Australian pandemic (H1N1) 2009 outbreak to measure self-reported willingness to comply with physician recommendations to stay home for seven days, and to compare responses for the current strain of pandemic influenza, avian influenza (H5N1), seasonal influenza, and the common cold. This study was undertaken during the height of the Australian pandemic (H1N1) 2009 outbreak to measure self-reported willingness to comply with physician recommendations to stay home for seven days, and to compare responses for the current strain of pandemic influenza, avian influenza (H5N1), seasonal influenza, and the common cold. doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-10-138 id = cord-001169-6sfleb1b author = Chan, Ta-Chien title = Spatio-temporal analysis on enterovirus cases through integrated surveillance in Taiwan date = 2014-01-08 keywords = EV-71; Taiwan summary = CONCLUSIONS: Local public health professionals can monitor the temporal and spatial trends plus spatio-temporal clusters and isolation rate of EV-71 in mild and severe EV cases in a community when virus transmission is high, to provide early warning signals and to prevent subsequent severe epidemics. The specific aims of this study were: (1) to elucidate the spatio-temporal correlations between the mild and severe enterovirus cases through integrating the data of the three enterovirusrelated surveillance systems, including the sentinel physician, national notifiable diseases and laboratory surveillance systems in Taiwan, (2) to find out the feasibility of establishing an early warning signal using the increasing numbers of mild EV-71 cases and their lag time periods to appearance of severe EV-71 cases, and (3) to evaluate the trends of severe EV-71 cases over a 9.5-year period for providing better recommendations on public health efforts in the future. doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-14-11 id = cord-316278-niurdu7t author = Chern, Jimmy PS title = Delayed Treatment of Diagnosed Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Taiwan date = 2008-07-13 keywords = Taiwan summary = The relationship between number of TB patients and days of delayed treatment after diagnosis exhibited a Power-law distribution. The days of delayed treatment of TB patients exhibited a Power-law distribution with a 95% statistical significance, indicating that most patients were treated immediately after diagnosis. Our study also revealed a Power-law distribution in TB treatment, suggesting that while most TB cases are controlled by public health authorities, the few patients who experience long delays in treatment can cause serious transmission. It is worth noting that a Powerlaw distribution in TB treatment, suggesting that while most TB cases are controlled by public health authorities, the few patients who experience long delays in treatment can cause serious risk for transmission [29, 30] .

C. title = Pathogen seasonality and links with weather in England and Wales: a big data time series analysis date = 2018-08-28 keywords = England; Salmonella; Wales; pathogen summary = We aimed to systematically document the seasonality of several human infectious disease pathogens in England and Wales, highlighting those organisms that appear weather-sensitive and therefore may be influenced by climate change in the future. A systematic approach to the analysis of the potential seasonality of common pathogen serotypes and their associations with multiple weather variables is required to help narrow the focus on candidate pathogens in addition to those that have been studied in depth previously. The aim of the analysis was to use several data mining techniques to identify pathogens that display a seasonal component, and describe their associations with meteorological factors as an aid to future analytical work (including forecasting) and public health planning. In this large database of infectious diseases in England and Wales, we have provided an analysis of the seasonality of common pathogens and their correlation with meteorological data. doi = 10.1186/s12889-018-5931-6 id = cord-334541-d0l0nqgh author = Chui, Kenneth KH title = Snowbirds and infection--new phenomena in pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations from winter migration of older adults: A spatiotemporal analysis date = 2011-06-07 keywords = Florida; P&I; state summary = Although most other states generally experienced a higher proportion of non-resident P&I during the summer months (April-September), these states had higher nonresident P&I during the traditional peak influenza season (October-March). There are few studies that have assessed differences in patterns of influenza-related hospitalization in the Medicare population simultaneously by time of year, provider state, and state of residence. Significantly higher proportions of non-resident P&I hospitalizations occurred from October-March than in April-September in a minority of states-Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, South Carolina, and Texas. Certain states, such as Hawaii, Arizona, Texas, and Florida show higher rates of non-resident P&I hospitalizations in October-March than for the time period of April-September for most states. In Florida, the proportion of all P&I hospitalizations attributable to out-of-state residents was over three times as high between October and March compared to the usual nadir of influenza activity, April through September. doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-11-444 id = cord-332563-oo8wler1 author = Chung, Pak-Kwong title = The process by which perceived autonomy support predicts motivation, intention, and behavior for seasonal influenza prevention in Hong Kong older adults date = 2017-07-28 keywords = Hong; Kong; behavior summary = doi = 10.1186/s12889-017-4608-x id = cord-001506-2gzi3fo9 author = Davies, Jane title = “Only your blood can tell the story” – a qualitative research study using semi- structured interviews to explore the hepatitis B related knowledge, perceptions and experiences of remote dwelling Indigenous Australians and their health care providers in northern Australia date = 2014-11-28 keywords = CHB; Hepatitis; health; indigenous summary = title: "Only your blood can tell the story" – a qualitative research study using semistructured interviews to explore the hepatitis B related knowledge, perceptions and experiences of remote dwelling Indigenous Australians and their health care providers in northern Australia The aim of this research project was to explore the knowledge, perceptions and experiences of remote dwelling Indigenous adults and their health care providers relating to hepatitis B infection with a view to using this as the evidence base to develop a culturally appropriate educational tool. All participants were shown two existing resources; an animation about the liver and its function (chosen as it was part of an electronic education package targeted at Indigenous Australians) and a flip chart, (developed in Victoria, Australia, intended for use in the clinic setting and aimed mainly at Asian individuals) about hepatitis B and asked to comment on them as a way of generating ideas/preferences for any future educational tool. doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-14-1233 id = cord-001634-mi5gcfcw author = Davis, Mark D M title = Beyond resistance: social factors in the general public response to pandemic influenza date = 2015-04-29 keywords = health; influenza; pandemic; public summary = In relation to pandemic influenza, public communications feature in preparedness and response planning which requires that members of the general public adopt measures during a public health emergency, including: hygiene (e.g., covering the mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, washing hands, keeping surfaces clean, avoiding sharing personal items) and the avoidance of close contact with others [4] . This paper, therefore, uses inductive, qualitative research methods to develop new knowledge on how members of the general population respond to pandemic influenza, set against the backdrop of the assumed resistance on the part of the general public and related critiques, including, health risk fatigue, the risk communication dilemma and individualism. The research aimed to identify how members of the general public respond to pandemic influenza so that public health communications can be designed to engage with how its audiences respond to risk messages and how they enact hygiene, social isolation and related measures. doi = 10.1186/s12889-015-1756-8 id = cord-009604-pdctikjg author = DeLacy, Jack title = The social determinants of otitis media in aboriginal children in Australia: are we addressing the primary causes?

Key search terms included women, violence, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, information, communication technology, ICT, technology, email, mobile, phone, digital, ehealth, web, computer, online, and computerized. RESULTS: Twenty-five studies addressing screening and disclosure, IPV prevention, ICT suitability, support and women''s mental health were identified. Recent systematic reviews showed that the efficacy of ICT-based mobile apps for health (mHealth) is still limited, as research in the field lacks long-term studies and existing evidences of impact are inconsistent [52] .

We assessed morbidity and mortality in the 16 SADC countries using a descriptive epidemiological analysis of HIV/AIDS burden based on secondary data from GBD study in 1990, 2005, 2010 , and 2017. The GBD study estimates country-specific incidence, prevalence, mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) due to diseases such as HIV/AIDS. To facilitate comparison of HIV/AIDS outcomes of morbidity and mortality across countries, time, age-groups, and sex, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) improved previously established metrics like prevalence and incidence. The five leading countries with the proportion deaths attributable to HIV/AIDS in 2017 were Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, eSwatini, and Mozambique, also had the highest age-standardized mortality, YLL, YLD rates. doi = 10.1186/s12889-020-08988-9 id = cord-306259-vi997dms author = Hanvoravongchai, Piya title = Pandemic influenza preparedness and health systems challenges in Asia: results from rapid analyses in 6 Asian countries date = 2010-06-08 keywords = AHI; PDR; Taiwan; pandemic summary = doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-10-322 id = cord-262190-velir6gb author = Hickey, Jason title = Pandemic preparedness: perceptions of vulnerable migrants in Thailand towards WHO-recommended non-pharmaceutical interventions: a cross-sectional study date = 2014-06-28 keywords = H1N1; Health; Thailand summary = The study was conducted during the influenza H1N1 2009 pandemic and included 801 migrant participants living in border areas thought to be high risk by the Thailand Ministry of Public Health. CONCLUSIONS: Negative or ambivalent attitudes towards NPIs combined with other barriers identified suggest that vulnerable migrants in Thailand have a limited capacity to participate in pandemic preparedness efforts. We hope that this information will help us to gauge the capacity of individuals within the vulnerable migrant community to participate in pandemic preparedness and response efforts, and to identify potential barriers to NPI effectiveness. Future research efforts should continue to assess the perceptions and ability of diverse populations relating to implementation of NPIs. These data could provide valuable information to public health agencies with regard to planning for future outbreaks and pandemics and assessing risk communication and public education activities. doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-14-665 id = cord-294122-ou3wj4rz author = Hwang, Stephen W title = Population mortality during the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Toronto date = 2007-05-29 keywords = Greater; SARS; Toronto summary = doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-7-93 id = cord-293221-gf9wy4a9 author = Idowu, Abiodun Benjamin title = Ebola virus disease in the eyes of a rural, agrarian community in Western Nigeria: a mixed method study date = 2020-08-31 keywords = EVD; Ebola; disease; outbreak summary = It is on this basis that this study was conducted to (assess) the knowledge, perceptions, beliefs and preventive practices against EVD in a predominantly agrarian rural community in Southwest Nigeria. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Igbogila town, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria in the latter part of 2014 during the EVD outbreak. However, a closer look at past EVD outbreaks revealed that they often originated from rural agrarian communities where there are many misconceptions about the disease, refusal of early isolation and quarantine, and unsafe burial rites practices which aggravate epidemics [8, 9] . No case of EVD was recorded in the study area during the outbreak, nevertheless the limited data provides relevant information useful to researchers and other public health stakeholders in infectious disease prevention and control.

Therefore, we examined the magnitude and the sociodemographic and health related correlates of enacted and internalised stigma among EVD survivors in Sierra Leone since their return to their communities. In addition, our study determined whether enacted and internalised stigma are possible predictors of informal healthcare service utilisation (T&CM use) among EVD survivors in Sierra Leone. This is the first nationally representative study to determine the prevalence of stigma, its sociodemographic correlates and association with informal and nonintegrated forms of health care such as T&CM use among EVD survivors in Sierra Leone. Our finding also resonates with similar short term and smaller sample size cross-sectional studies in Sierra Leone [24, 25, 48] , Liberia [20] , Guinea [49] , and DR Congo [19, 40] ,which reported that EVD survivors experience several forms of internalised and enacted stigma. doi = 10.1186/s12889-020-8279-7 id = cord-000916-b22s00es author = Kelso, Joel K title = Economic analysis of pandemic influenza mitigation strategies for five pandemic severity categories date = 2013-03-08 keywords = CFR; H1N1; cost; pandemic summary = doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-13-211 id = cord-323190-wisaamn7 author = Law, Chi-kin title = Temporal patterns of charcoal burning suicides among the working age population in Hong Kong SAR: the influence of economic activity status and sex date = 2012-07-06 keywords = Hong; Kong; suicide summary = doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-12-505 id = cord-267485-1fu1blu0 author = Lazarus, Ross title = Distributed data processing for public health surveillance date = 2006-09-19 keywords = datum; health; phi summary = All PHI in this system is initially processed within the secured infrastructure of the health care provider that collects and holds the data, using uniform software distributed and supported by the NDP. In the more traditional type of system, individual patient records, often containing potentially identifiable information, such as date of birth and exact or approximate home address, are transferred, usually in electronic form, preferably through some secured method, to a central secured repository, where statistical tools can be used to develop and refine surveillance procedures. These standard line lists are used most often to support requests by public health agencies for additional information about the individual cases that contribute to clusters identified in the aggregate data. In our experience, such requests involve only a tiny fraction of the data that would be transferred in a centralized surveillance model, providing adequate support for public health with minimal risk of inadvertent disclosure of identifiable PHI. doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-6-235 id = cord-349426-9fuiind8 author = Lee, Albert title = Facing the threat of influenza pandemic - roles of and implications to general practitioners date = 2010-11-02 keywords = H1N1; care; health summary = The experience from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Hong Kong has shown that general practitioners (GPs) were willing to discharge their duties despite risks of getting infected themselves.

Responce of health services with increasing number of possible flu cases and the existing care of other patients, risk communication, data collection and surveillance, and basic respiratory hygiene practices are all important public health measures. A study in Hong Kong amongst 2,255 health care workers showed that the overall willingness to accept pre-pandemic H5N1 vaccine was only 28.4% during a WHO influenza pandemic alert phase 3 [16] .

We identified older age, male sex and underlying medical conditions, including diabetes mellitus, renal disease, respiratory disease, heart disease and hypertension, as clinical predictors of death associated with MERS. PICO statement: Our study question is focused on laboratory confirmed cases of MERS regardless of their treatment status, and thus, involves only retrospective observational studies, measuring their risks of admission to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and death and comparing those risks by age, gender and underlying comorbidities. The present study systematically reviewed the risk of severe manifestations and death by MERS by systematically searching and analyzing published articles from the KSA and the ROK and calculating not only the CFR but [16] .

Thus, the present study explored mental health issues and related factors in MERS survivors 12 months after the outbreak to determine the long-term psychological outcomes of this population. The univariate analysis revealed that several factors were significantly associated with PTSD, including previous psychiatry history, having a family member who died from MERS, depression and anxiety during the MERSaffected period, greater perceived stigma currently and during the illness, and negative coping strategies (Table S2) . Our study showed that nearly half the assessed MERS survivors experienced significant mental health problems, including PTSD and depression, at 12 months post-MERS. doi = 10.1186/s12889-020-08726-1 id = cord-318872-0e5zjaz1 author = Park, Ji-Eun title = MERS transmission and risk factors: a systematic review date = 2018-05-02 keywords = East; MERS; Middle summary = BACKGROUND: Since Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) infection was first reported in 2012, many studies have analysed its transmissibility and severity.

As case detection in the NTP in China follows WHO recommended passive case-finding guidelines, people with TB related symptoms should be identified when they seek care at a general health facility, and referred to the specialized TB dispensary for diagnosis, treatment and case management. A study in rural Inner Mongolia of China also reported that women with less education tended to be less knowledgeable about TB and were less likely to seek care than men though gender difference was not statistically significant in the quantitative survey [22] . doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-8-354 id = cord-004638-ijncfuxi author = Wang, Yuheng title = Vaccination coverage with the pneumococcal and influenza vaccine among persons with chronic diseases in Shanghai, China, 2017 date = 2020-03-19 keywords = Shanghai; influenza; vaccination summary = In this study, we use the data from a chronic disease management information system in Shanghai to estimate vaccination coverage and characterize predictors of seasonal influenza and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) vaccination among people with chronic disease in Shanghai.

In this study, we use the data from a chronic disease management information system in Shanghai to estimate vaccination coverage and characterize predictors of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination among people with chronic disease in Shanghai. In a large sample of individuals with chronic diseases residing in Shanghai, China, we found low pneumococcal vaccination coverage over a 4-year study period and even lower influenza vaccine coverage. doi = 10.1186/s12889-020-8388-3 id = cord-344438-08gqn86z author = Watkins, Rochelle E title = Influenza pandemic preparedness: motivation for protection among small and medium businesses in Australia date = 2007-07-17 keywords = Australia; business; pandemic summary = doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-7-157 id = cord-348844-4rpbsj48 author = Wessel, Lindsay title = Public health interventions for epidemics: implications for multiple infection waves date = 2011-02-25 keywords = infection summary = doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-11-s1-s2 id = cord-290421-9v841ose author = Weston, Dale title = Examining the application of behaviour change theories in the context of infectious disease outbreaks and emergency response: a review of reviews date = 2020-10-01 keywords = Model; Theory; behaviour; review summary = doi = 10.1186/s12889-020-09519-2 id = cord-321754-sy3ncwgw author = Yap, Jonathan title = Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards pandemic influenza among cases, close contacts, and healthcare workers in tropical Singapore: a cross-sectional survey date = 2010-07-28 keywords = H1N1; Singapore; practice summary = doi = 10.1186/1471-2458-10-442 id = cord-309268-sig0h723 author = Yeung, May PS title = Factors associated with uptake of influenza vaccine in people aged 50 to 64 years in Hong Kong: a case–control study date = 2015-07-07 keywords = Hong; Kong; vaccination summary = title: Factors associated with uptake of influenza vaccine in people aged 50 to 64 years in Hong Kong: a case–control study This study investigates the factors associated with the uptake of influenza vaccination among adults in Hong Kong aged 50–64 years.
