Effect of an armed conflict on relative socioeconomic position of rural households: case study from western Cote d'Ivoire
Conclusion:
Situational constraints and methodological obstacles are inherent in conflict settings and hamper conflict-related socioeconomic research. Furthermore, sensitive methods to assess and meaningfully interpret longitudinal micro-level wealth data from low-income countries are lacking. Despite compelling evidence of socioeconomic dynamics triggered by armed conflicts at the macro-level, we could not identify similar effects at the micro-level. A deeper understanding of household profiles that are more resilient to armed conflict could help to better prevent and/or alleviate adverse conflict-related and increasingly civilian-borne socioeconomic effects.

Population attributable fraction: comparison of two mathematical procedures to estimate the annual attributable number of deaths
Conclusion:
By combining the innovation of the Allison procedure (allowing for a neutral category) and the simplicity of the Mokdad procedure (using population attributable fractions), this paper proposes a new procedure to calculate attributable numbers of death.

Healthcare Workersâ Perceptions of Mandatory Vaccination: Results of an Anonymous Survey in a German University Hospital
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, Volume 0, Issue 0, Page 000, Latest Articles.
Despite decades of effort to encourage healthcare workers (HCWs) to be immunized, vaccination rates remain insufficient. Among German HCWs, 831 (68.4%) of 1,215 respondents supported mandatory vaccinations for HCWs in general. However, acceptance of mandatory vaccination varied significantly between physicians and nurses and also depended on the targeted disease. (Source: Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol Latest Issue)...

Influenza Vaccination of Household Contacts of Newborns: A HospitalâBased Strategy to Increase Vaccination Rates
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, Volume 0, Issue 0, Page 000, Latest Articles.
We implemented a hospitalâbased influenza vaccination program for household contacts of newborns. Among mothers not vaccinated prenatally, 44.7% were vaccinated through the program, as were 25.7% of fathers. A hospitalâbased program provided opportunities for vaccination of household contacts of newborns, thereby facilitating better adherence to national vaccination guidelines.

Results of a National Survey of Infectious Diseases Specialists regarding Influenza Vaccination Programs for Healthcare Workers
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, Volume 0, Issue 0, Page 000, Latest Articles.
A minority of infectious diseases consultants currently work in healthcare institutions requiring influenza vaccination for healthcare workers, and in approximately half of these institutions, the healthcare workers who refuse vaccination do not face substantial consequences for their refusal. Although true mandatory policies are not common, a majority of infectious diseases consultants support such policies. (Source: Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol Latest Issue)...

Estimating the distribution of causes of death among children age 1-59 months in high-mortality countries with incomplete death certification
Conclusion From studies reporting as few as two different causes of death, statistical modelling can be used to estimate the causes of child mortality for settings with incomplete VR. Pneumonia and diarrhoea remain the leading causes of death among children 1–59 months of age in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. (Source: International Journal of Epidemiology)...

Body mass index and risk of head and neck cancer in a pooled analysis of case-control studies in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) Consortium
Conclusions In our large pooled analysis, leanness was associated with increased HNC risk regardless of smoking and drinking status, although reverse causality cannot be excluded. The reduced risk among overweight or obese people may indicate body size is a modifier of the risk associated with smoking and drinking. Further clarification may be provided by analyses of prospective cohort and mechanistic studies. (Source: International Journal of Epidemiology)...
