I am thrilled to announce the publication of our (Behnam T., X. Angela Yao) recent paper titled "Encounter Network and Its Application to Studying Epidemic Spread through Public Transportation Networks" in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board. In our paper, we explore the critical issue of epidemic transmission in urban public transportation networks. Utilizing network analysis, particularly betweenness centrality, we introduce innovative metrics such as the total betweenness centrality (TBC) to assess the risk of disease transmission from one node to another, and vice versa. Our research offers new insights that could significantly influence public health strategies and improve our understanding of how diseases spread in crowded urban environments. 🔗 You can access the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/evEhrrjU #EpidemicModeling #PublicHealth #TransportationNetworks #NetworkAnalysis #ResearchPublication

Don't miss this week's webinar (24 April) - Are Lessons Ever Learned? Reflections on Pandemics Past, Present, and Future - presented by Dr. Peter Marghella. This presentation will include a discussion of the five factors influencing an increase in the frequency, scope and scale, and impact of pandemics (and other major disasters), and examine initiatives that may enhance our collective “posture of preparedness”—especially as it applies to the health care and public health sectors of our society.

The event is organized by WADEM's Student and Young Professional Special Interest Group (SIG). #pandemics #infectiousdiseases #preparedness #disastermedicine

💡 Have you wondered what a changing geopolitical landscape means for ending parasitic diseases? Are you curious to hear why a different way of working in global development enables different outcomes? One year on from launching our 2023-28 strategy, we believe in holding ourselves to account. In the coming weeks, we’ll explore the transformation of global health and discuss how we are responding to these changes and adapting to the evolving landscape. 🌍 In the first article of our new series 'Re-imagining Global Health', we explore our role in the journey towards universal health. 👉 https://ow.ly/Wm4c50SX0Bu

The Commercial Determinants of Health course in our Global Health Systems Summer Institute will explore how commercial actors across industries pursue strategies that shape consumer preferences with profound implications for health. The course will identify harmful products across commercial industries as well as products that sustain life, and will analyze how the global proliferation of these products has accelerated the epidemiological transition to noncommunicable diseases.   Taught by Adam Koon on June 10–14, 8 a.m.–1 p.m. EDT:  https://lnkd.in/efxqnm8C   More information on other courses offered in our Summer Institute can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gDcc_KFP

🎙️ Nordic Global Health Talks: "The target trial framework in global health research: barriers and opportunities" In this talk, Anthony Matthews from Karolinska Institutet will discuss how a target trial framework can be used an organizing principle for the design of observational studies. Anthony will give an introduction to the target trial framework for causal inference, describe its current place in global health research, and suggest some solutions for how to effectively incorporate its uptake.
