Funding

Commented on Epidemiology Grants

Alex's Lemonade Stand is a wonderful foundation and it is great to see funds for research related to epidemiological methods.

Article

Commented on The doctor–patient relationship, defensive medicine and overprescription in Chinese public hospitals: Evidence from a cross-sectional survey in Shenzhen city

Has there been a follow-up to this and shown improvement on these fronts?

Article

Commented on The diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of plasma biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease

Any additional information about diagnosing and prognosticating AD is critical. It will be beneficial to have a bigger sample size and increase the power assessing this biomarker.

Article

Commented on Hearing and vision care provided to older people residing in care homes: a cross-sectional survey of care home staff

This study was well done to identify those gaps and a good example of a cross sectional study to either study further and/or develop programs for care homes to be more aware of hearing and vision care that impact this population. It is assessing further how care can be expanded and other gaps.

Article

Commented on Value Conflict, Lack of Rewards, and Sense of Community as Psychosocial Risk Factors of Burnout in Communication Professionals (Press, Radio, and Television)

The models were explained very well. The analysis was executed well. This would be interesting analyzing other professions.

Article

Commented on Mental health support after covid-19: closer relations between general practice, psychology, and occupational health

We know the demand for mental health services was increasing even before the pandemic. It is important for transparency in which it may not be managed well and that there is room for critical improvement to help people address their mental health and bridge that gap in disparity in access.

Funding

Commented on CHILDREN’S HEALTHY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Expected two awards Last updated April 30, 2020 Last due date June 1, 2020

Article

Commented on Accuracy of Smartphone Applications and Wearable Devices for Tracking Physical Activity Data

I feel the use of these devices has certainly increased. And I would assume that the wearable devices have only improved in accuracy in the years since. There have been more and more developments in how we can be proactive in our personal health especially when we have so many applications that can monitor our health and activity. It is amazing how that continues to evolve.

Article

Commented on Symptoms Preceding Sports-Related Sudden Cardiac Death in Persons Aged 1–49 Years

Symptoms seems to be expected. In my opinion, there should be a level of common sense in terms of threshold and what is too much activity for each individual. The use of the non invasive models will be so helpful in prevention and knowing the signs and symptoms to take action.

Article

Commented on Sun Exposure during Water Sports: Do Elite Athletes Adequately Protect Their Skin against Skin Cancer?

I was always concerned with the Olympic swimmers in particular. Half did not have adequate protection. I am surprised that half would be honest as I feel there would be a lot of social desirability. But honesty in this case is good as to educate what good protection could prevent.

Article

Commented on A scoping review of methods for assessment of sex differentials in early childhood mortality

Very interesting scoping review viewing multiple methods along a broad spectrum. Hope to see more scoping reviews of this kind.

Article

Commented on Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy in Women of African Descent

Consistent findings for confirmation. Good longitudinal model. Since this study, what interventions have been implemented to improve breastfeeding outcomes specifically for this population?

Article

Commented on National narcissism and support for voluntary vaccination policy: The mediating role of vaccination conspiracy beliefs

Very relevant to today and makes sense where anti-vaccination can lead one to support wanting it to be voluntary. But with all the conspiracy theories swirling around, that can absolutely impact that relationship. I think personal experiences can mediate that as well.

Article

Commented on Chapter 3: PK–12 School Physical Education: Conditions, Lessons Learned, and Future Directions

Those recommendations are perfect to bring community resources and bringing in health components so there is added value to the physical activities.

Article

Commented on The impact of COVID-19 on TB: a review of the data

With the focus being so heavily on COVID-19, resources have gone there and for a lack of a better word, other outcomes seemed to have been ignored specifically those that are infectious. Understandable of course, but this paper demonstrates that data for other diseases are now lacking and makes it hard to gain more resources for something like TB. So there is more attention needed for other outcomes impacted by COVID-19.
