Theatre-based interventions have been used in health promotion activities among young people to address HIV and sexual health. In this study, we explored the experience of undergraduate student performers participating in a theatre-based HIV prevention and sexual health education...

Marginal Structural Cox Models with Case-Cohort Sampling.

Statistica Sinica

Lee H, Hudgens MG, Cai J, Cole SR.
PMID: 27057128
Stat Sin. 2016 Apr;26(2):509-526. doi: 10.5705/ss.2014.015.

A common objective of biomedical cohort studies is assessing the effect of a time-varying treatment or exposure on a survival time. In the presence of time-varying confounders, marginal structural models fit using inverse probability weighting can be employed to...

Co-localized confocal Raman spectroscopy and optical coherence tomography (CRS-OCT) for depth-resolved analyte detection in tissue.

Biomedical optics express

Maher JR, Chuchuen O, Henderson MH, Kim S, Rinehart MT, Kashuba AD, Wax A, Katz DF.
PMID: 26114026
Biomed Opt Express. 2015 May 08;6(6):2022-35. doi: 10.1364/BOE.6.002022. eCollection 2015 Jun 01.

We report the development of a combined confocal Raman spectroscopy (CRS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) instrument (CRS-OCT) capable of measuring analytes in targeted biological tissues with sub-100-micron spatial resolution. The OCT subsystem was used to measure depth-resolved tissue...

Rising prevalence of non-B HIV-1 subtypes in North Carolina and evidence for local onward transmission.

Virus evolution

Dennis AM, Hué S, Learner E, Sebastian J, Miller WC, Eron JJ.
PMID: 28567304
Virus Evol. 2017 May 24;3(1):vex013. doi: 10.1093/ve/vex013. eCollection 2017 Jan.

HIV-1 diversity is increasing in North American and European cohorts which may have public health implications. However, little is known about non-B subtype diversity in the southern United States, despite the region being the epicenter of the nation's epidemic....

Understanding the relationship between religiosity and caregiver-adolescent communication about sex within African-American families.

Journal of child and family studies

Ritchwood TD, Powell TW, Metzger IW, Dave G, Corbie-Smith G, Atujuna M, Vander Schaaf EB, Wynn M, Lin FC, Zhou W, Akers AY.
PMID: 29123360
J Child Fam Stud. 2017 Nov;26(11):2979-2989. doi: 10.1007/s10826-017-0810-9. Epub 2017 Jun 13.

Caregiver-adolescent communication about sex plays a critical role in the sexual socialization of youth. Many caregivers, however, do not engage their youth in such conversations, potentially placing them at risk for negative sexual health outcomes. Lack of caregiver-adolescent communication...

Stoves or Sugar? Willingness to Adopt Improved Cookstoves in Malawi.

Energy policy

Jagger P, Jumbe C.
PMID: 27346912
Energy Policy. 2016 May;92:409-419. doi: 10.1016/j.enpol.2016.02.034. Epub 2016 Feb 17.

Malawi has set a target of adoption of two million improved cookstoves (ICS) by 2020. Meeting this objective requires knowledge about determinants of adoption, particularly in rural areas where the cost of traditional cooking technologies and fuels are non-monetary,...

Recent cancer incidence trends in an observational clinical cohort of HIV-infected patients in the US, 2000 to 2011.

Infectious agents and cancer

Yanik EL, Tamburro K, Eron JJ, Damania B, Napravnik S, Dittmer DP.
PMID: 23705808
Infect Agent Cancer. 2013 May 24;8(1):18. doi: 10.1186/1750-9378-8-18.

BACKGROUND: In HIV-infected populations in developed countries, the most recent published cancer incidence trend analyses are only updated through 2008. We assessed changes in the distribution of cancer types and incidence trends among HIV-infected patients in North Carolina up...

Maximum likelihood estimation for semiparametric transformation models with interval-censored data.

Biometrika

Zeng D, Mao L, Lin DY.
PMID: 27279656
Biometrika. 2016 Jun;103(2):253-271. doi: 10.1093/biomet/asw013. Epub 2016 May 24.

Interval censoring arises frequently in clinical, epidemiological, financial and sociological studies, where the event or failure of interest is known only to occur within an interval induced by periodic monitoring. We formulate the effects of potentially time-dependent covariates on...

Expected Power for the False Discovery Rate with Independence.

Communications in statistics: theory and methods

Glueck DH, Muller KE, Karimpour-Fard A, Hunter L.
PMID: 20975846
Commun Stat Theory Methods. 2008 Jan;37(12):1855-1866. doi: 10.1080/03610920801893731.

The Benjamini-Hochberg procedure is widely used in multiple comparisons. Previous power results for this procedure have been based on simulations. This article produces theoretical expressions for expected power. To derive them, we make assumptions about the number of hypotheses...

Using formative research to develop a context-specific approach to informed consent for clinical trials.

Journal of empirical research on human research ethics : JERHRE

Corneli AL, Bentley ME, Sorenson JR, Henderson GE, van der Horst C, Moses A, Nkhoma J, Tenthani L, Ahmed Y, Heilig CM, Jamieson DJ.
PMID: 19385837

PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDING is of particular concern when obtaining informed consent. Recommendations for improving understanding include disclosing information using culturallyappropriate and innovative approaches. To increase the effectiveness of the consent process for a clinical trial in Malawi on interventions to...

Factors That Influence HIV Risk among Hispanic Female Immigrants and Their Implications for HIV Prevention Interventions.

International journal of family medicine

Hernandez AM, Zule WA, Karg RS, Browne FA, Wechsberg WM.

Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in North Carolina with increasing incidence of HIV infection. Gender roles, cultural expectations, and acculturation of women may explain some of Hispanic women's risks. The perspectives of Hispanic female immigrants and community-based...

The warfarin-cranberry juice interaction revisited: A systematic in vitro-in vivo evaluation.

Journal of experimental pharmacology

Ngo N, Brantley SJ, Carrizosa DR, Kashuba AD, Dees EC, Kroll DJ, Oberlies NH, Paine MF.

J Exp Pharmacol. 2010 Jul;2010(2):83-91. doi: 10.2147/JEP.S11719.

BACKGROUND: Cranberry products have been implicated in several case reports to enhance the anticoagulant effect of warfarin. The mechanism could involve inhibition of the hepatic CYP2C9-mediated metabolic clearance of warfarin by components in cranberry. Because dietary/natural substances vary substantially...
