Die Notmaßnahmen zur #Corona #Pandemie enden. Das kann man machen, aber wichtig ist, nun die learnings umzusetzen. Ich führe hier ein paar Themen an, um die man sich nun kümmern muss. Thread
1) Die Pandemie hat uns gelehrt, dass wir Infketionskrankheiten zu rasch abgetan haben. Herzpatienten saßen im Winter neben Influenzakranken im Wartezimmer. Es war normal, krank ins Büro zu gehen. Das alles kostet Lebensqualität und Geld.
2) Dasselbe gilt für Kinder. Sie sitzen in Schulen und KiGas vielfach in fürs Lernen kontraproduktiv schlechter Luft. Schlechte Lüftung sorgt auch für viele Infektionen, die nicht sein müssten und den Eintrag in Familen, was wieder auch der Wirtschaft schadet.

University health centers provide this support and basic services, like flu shots, and often more complex services such as lab work, imaging services, and exams. But would a student understand that by visiting its website? ahimafoundation.org/news/health-li…

🧵Pet peeve: 'everyone should weigh the risks of #vaccines vs #COVID for themselves'. I have 2 issues here. #scicomm #healthliteracy #healthcomms #publichealth 1/4
First, you can weigh incorrectly or correctly. If I weighed the Earth, compared it to the Moon, and ended up determining that to me, personally, the Moon outweighed the Earth, I would not be right. 2/4
Second, the term 'themselves'. Risk calculation should include not just my risk for severe #COVID outcomes, but also the risk I pose to others while unknowingly carrying the virus. Why? If other's wellbeing as a reason is not compelling enough ('their problem'), then 3/4
From April this year, here is the @AusHealthcare calling for a broader focus for the #NationalPreventiveHealthStrategy croakey.org/a-broader-focu… Highlighting the importance of #ClimateAction, #HealthLiteracy, #OralHealth

Me: "How are you feeling?"
You: "Terrible."
Me: "Terrible?"
You: "Terrible."
Me: "The medicines aren't taking the edge off?"
You: "It helped a little bit, but now I feel sick to my stomach. My bowels are loose, too."
Hmmm.

Your voice is quiet and defeated. This is different. . . and it scares me.
Me: "We put you back on what you were getting at home and--"
You: "I know that. Soon as you said that yesterday I started. But now all I feel is sick and queasy in the stomach."
*silence*

Me: "I'm sorry. . . what do you mean by 'as soon as I said that?'”
You: "What?"
Me: "The medicines. You said you started as soon as I said something? That part confused me. Just wanted to get clear."
You reach under the bed and pull out a plastic Kroger bag full of pills.

@ePatientDave @HealthHats @DrDannySands @lizsalmi @tessajlrichards @BMJPatientEd So much truth - IMO this flip to consumerism WITHOUT full participation of both clinical experts and patient community leaders in creating health literacy resources for humans is root cause of much "I did my own research" nonsense now driving medical misinformation online.
@ePatientDave @HealthHats @DrDannySands @lizsalmi @tessajlrichards @BMJPatientEd What I mean by that is "the academy" (in this instance the @AmerMedicalAssn who I give fish-eye to on the regular over their K St lobbying in service of status quo in US healthcare spend, but I digress) has missed eleventy-million-and-five opportunities to ... /2
@ePatientDave @HealthHats @DrDannySands @lizsalmi @tessajlrichards @BMJPatientEd @AmerMedicalAssn Team up with patient community leaders savvy in comms, community organizing, and *science* to build health literacy resources that can be deployed all over ever'where to help humans be prepared to made decisions about their/their families' health. /3

#TRIBECON begins #Pravara; felicitations to #AbhayBang @SearchGad & #sudarshan #VGKK for their inspiring work on #TribalHealth; @DrLahariya @whoindia among others felicitated
#abhayBang #healthsystem design for tribal communities need to be relooked for #UHC; strategies & schemes must adapt with local social & cultural context; recollects #Brainstorming with @DesirajuKeshav at @SearchGad leading to #ExpertCommittee #tribalhealth @TribalHealthIND
#TRIBECON #AbhayBang notes with happiness increasing interest in #tribalhealth research, yet this continues to be “off the beaten path”; congratulations to #pravara medical college in bringing this together; the proposed #Bandardhara declaration to improve #tribalhealth research
Low vaccination rates are a #publichealth crisis, leading to outbreaks of deadly diseases like #measles. My new research in Vaccine/@ElsevierNews provides insight into the characteristics of people who post #antivax content on #Facebook: dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.vacc…
First, I want to credit my fantastic co-authors: @MTH_Pitt @emfelter @DrToddWo @ChadTRM @PittPubHealth. This research stemmed from thousands of #antivax comments on a video on the @kidspluspgh Facebook page: facebook.com/watch/?v=10159…
We used social network, quantitative, and qualitative analyses to examine 25% of people who left these comments. Our goal was to answer questions about who these people are, the information they post, and how they are connected.
We're bummed @AcademyHealth #ARM18 is over, so we wanted to share our #policypics from our booth! We asked you what you were excited to talk about at #ARM18 and here are some of your pics! #maternalhealth #opioids #Medicaid #VUHealthPolicyPhD
