Call for Abstracts: 2021 FETP International Nights

by Public Health Update March 15, 2021

written by Public Health Update

Overview

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and TEPHINET are co-sponsoring the 2021 FETP International Nights, continuing, in a virtual format this year, the annual event that has become a highly anticipated fixture of the global Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) community since the year 2000.

The FETP International Nights traditionally take place during the annual Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) Conference; however, because the 2021 EIS Conference was canceled, this year’s FETP International Nights will be a standalone online event.

The 2021 FETP International Nights will take place on Wednesday, July 14 and Thursday, July 15, 2021. We will announce the exact times of the event at a later date.

Current trainees/fellows and those graduating after January 1, 2020 from Field Epidemiology Training Programs are invited to submit abstracts (in English only) through their program directors for consideration (see details below). Priority will be given to current trainees/fellows.

Abstracts should cover investigations or projects undertaken and completed during training and within the past two years (i.e., no earlier than December 2018). We are interested in abstracts describing outbreak investigations, implementation and evaluation of public health programs or surveillance activities, non-communicable diseases, and other areas in applied epidemiology. In particular, abstracts and presentations should emphasize how the results of the investigation or an analysis were used to direct public health actions, and also describe or estimate the public health impact.

Abstracts submitted for consideration should be original. In particular, the abstract should not represent work already published in peer-reviewed journals or previously accepted and presented to a conference. However, exceptions will be made for abstracts accepted for the 2020 International Nights, because the 2020 event was canceled. Authors who were selected to present in 2020 will be contacted and invited to re-submit for the 2021 conference, provided they have not presented these abstracts somewhere else. Abstracts that were submitted but not selected for the 2020 conference will not be considered for the 2021 conference. Please do not re-submit these abstracts for this year’s conference.

Refer to the attachments at this link for guidance on abstract format, suggestions, and evaluation criteria.

Submission of Abstracts

Deadline for final abstracts: The deadline for abstracts to be received via Ex Ordo, a platform managed by TEPHINET, is Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 11:59 pm Eastern Daylight Time. There will be NO extension to this deadline. NOTE: Please do not send abstracts for FETP International Night consideration to the EIS office.
Submission of abstracts: Individuals need to coordinate submissions with their program directors. All abstracts must be submitted by a program director or his/her delegate. Each program is allowed to submit up to four (4) abstracts. Abstracts will be collected at https://fetpintlnights2021.exordo.com. The site will be open to receive submissions in mid-March. Once the site is active, directors will be prompted to create an account and log in. This method is the only submission method acceptable for an abstract to be considered. For questions about using the platform, please contact Elena Atkinson at eatkinson @tephinet.org. NOTE: Any abstract submitted by someone who is not a program director or his/her delegate will NOT be considered for the conference.
Program Rankings: Because of limited space for presentations and a desire to maintain a broad representation of programs, a maximum of four (4) abstracts can be submitted from any single program and one (1) abstract per person (first authors). The program director (or his/her delegate) must rank abstracts in order of preference from 1-4, with “1” signifying the most preferred abstract and “4” signifying the least preferred abstract. Abstracts submitted without a ranking will NOT be considered. Although the results of the independent peer-review will take precedence, the scientific committee is ultimately responsible for considering all factors, including ranking, to determine abstract acceptance.
Evaluation: All abstracts submitted for International Night will be reviewed by three independent scientific reviewers.
Acceptance: Applicants will be notified of abstract(s) acceptances by early May.
Conflict of interest and biographical information: Authors of selected abstracts will be asked to submit a conflict of interest form. Biographical information will also be collected for event communications.

Additional information: Please see attachments at this link for detailed instructions and suggestions for abstract preparation to share with FETP and FELTP trainees/fellows and graduates.

World Oral Health Day 2021: Be Proud Of Your Mouth

by Public Health Update March 14, 2021

written by Public Health Update

Background

World Oral Health Day is an initiative of FDI World Dental Federation aims to achieve optimal oral health for everyone. It was first declared in 2007 and was originally celebrated on 12 September – the birth date of FDI founder Dr Charles Godon. However, the campaign was not fully activated until 2013, after the date was changed to 20 March to avoid conflict with the FDI World Dental Congress taking place in September.

Recommended Reading: National Oral Health Policy-2070, NEPAL

The growing burden of oral disease demands action on every level: individual, family and community. FDI is confident that simple, targeted action has the power to curb the prevalence of oral diseases and make oral health a personal priority for all.

Objective

The WOHD campaign provides an ideal platform to raise awareness and encourage commitments and action to promote good oral health. By leveraging thoughtfully coordinated efforts at the local, national, and global levels, the voice of the oral health community can be amplified in the lead-up to WOHD every year. World Oral Health Day aims to empower people with the knowledge, tools and confidence to secure good oral health.

Recommended Reading: National Oral Health Policy-2070, NEPAL

Theme

The theme for the next three years sends out a simple but powerful message: Be Proud Of Your Mouth. In other words, value and take care of it. This year, this day aims to inspire change by focusing on the importance of oral health for overall health, because good oral health can help live a longer, healthier life. And that is something worth taking action for.

Message & facts

LOOK AFTER ORAL HEALTH FOR OVERALL HEALTH

Fact: Just like other major diseases, prevention, early detection and treatment of oral diseases is important to stop any negative effects on the rest of your body.

PROTECT YOUR MOUTH WHILE YOU’RE ON THE GO

Fact: Chewing sugar-free gum is proven to benefit dental health as it helps neutralize plaque acids.

LEARN GOOD ORAL HEALTH HABITS FROM TOOTHIE (for children)

Fact: It is important to look after your teeth and mouth because germs can cause toothache, tooth decay (dental caries) and holes in your teeth.

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR ORAL HEALTH

Fact: Tooth decay (dental caries) is the most common health condition in the world, caused by unhealthy diets high in sugar as well as exposure to other risk factors.

EAT A BALANCED, LOW-SUGAR DIET

Fact: Eating excessive amounts of sugar from drinks, snacks, and processed foods not only causes tooth decay (dental caries), but also contributes to obesity and increases the risk of diabetes.

PRACTICE A GOOD ORAL HYGIENE ROUTINE

Fact: Oral diseases, such as tooth decay (dental caries) and gum disease, can impact every aspect of life, from relationships and self-confidence through to school, work and the ability to interact with others. Oral diseases are preventable, though, so it’s important to practice a good oral hygiene routine every day.

VISIT THE DENTIST REGULARLY

Fact: Oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people and are often linked to other serious health issues. These diseases often lead to pain, discomfort, social isolation, loss of self-confidence, and lost hours at work or school, too.

World Tuberculosis Day 2021: The Clock Is Ticking

by Public Health Update March 14, 2021

written by Public Health Update

Introduction

World TB Day, falling on March 24th each year, is designed to build public awareness that tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world, causing the deaths of nearly one-and-a-half million people each year, mostly in developing countries.

It commemorates the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch astounded the scientific community by announcing that he had discovered the cause of tuberculosis, the TB bacillus. At the time of Koch’s announcement in Berlin, TB was raging through Europe and the Americas, causing the death of one out of every seven people. Koch’s discovery opened the way towards diagnosing and curing TB.

Theme

The theme of this year’s World TB Day is: The Clock Is Ticking

The theme of World TB Day 2021 – ‘The Clock is Ticking’ –conveys the sense that the world is running out of time to act on the commitments to end TB made by global leaders. This is especially critical in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has put End TB progress at risk, and to ensure equitable access to prevention and care in line with WHO’s drive towards achieving Universal Health Coverage.

This year marks the moment when the world and its leaders have just over one year left to fulfill the United Nations Political Declaration on Tuberculosis by the agreed December 2022 deadline. Time is passing quickly, and world leaders are at risk of running out the clock. COVID-19 has reversed our gains and slowed down our progress. That is why the theme for World TB Day 2021 is “The Clock is Ticking”, highlighting the urgency with which the international community must step up and redouble its efforts to fulfill their commitments.

Facts

63,000,000 lives saved since 2000 by global efforts to end TB
10,000,000 people fell ill with TB in 2019
1,400,000 people died of TB in 2019
465,000 people fell ill with drug-resistant TB in 2019

WHO adds Janssen vaccine to list of safe and effective emergency tools against COVID-19

by Public Health Update March 13, 2021

written by Public Health Update

12 March 2021 News release Geneva

The World Health Organization (WHO) listed the COVID-19 vaccine Ad26.COV2.S, developed by Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), for emergency use in all countries and for COVAX roll-out. The decision comes on the back of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) authorization, which was announced yesterday.

“Every new, safe and effective tool against COVID-19 is another step closer to controlling the pandemic,” said WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “But the hope offered by these tools will not materialize unless they are made available to all people in all countries. I urge governments and companies to live up to their commitments and to use all solutions at their disposal to ramp up production so that these tools become truly global public goods, available and affordable to all, and a shared solution to the global crisis.”

The vaccine from Janssen is the first to be listed by WHO as a single dose regimen, which should facilitate vaccination logistics in all countries. The ample data from large clinical trials shared by the company also shows that the vaccine is effective in older populations.

To expedite listing of the vaccine, WHO and a team of assessors from all regions adopted what is called an ‘abbreviated assessment’ based on outcomes of the EMA review, and evaluation of quality, safety and efficacy data focused on low- and middle-income country needs. The WHO assessment also considered suitability requirements such as cold chain storage and risk management plans to be implemented in countries.

While the vaccine needs to be stored at -20 degrees, which may prove challenging in some environments, it can be kept for three months at 2-8°C and it has a long shelf life of two years.

WHO will convene its Strategic Advisory Group on Immunization Experts next week to formulate recommendations on use of the vaccine. In the meantime, WHO continues to work with countries and COVAX partners to prepare for roll-out and safety monitoring. The COVAX Facility has booked 500 million doses of the vaccine.

WHO emergency use listing

The emergency use listing (EUL) procedure assesses the suitability of novel health products during public health emergencies. The objective is to make medicines, vaccines and diagnostics available as rapidly as possible to address the emergency, while adhering to stringent criteria of safety, efficacy and quality. The assessment weighs the threat posed by the emergency as well as the benefit that would accrue from the use of the product against any potential risks.

The EUL pathway involves a rigorous assessment of late phase II and phase III clinical trial data as well as substantial additional data on safety, efficacy, quality and a risk management plan. These data are reviewed by independent experts and WHO teams who consider the current body of evidence on the vaccine under consideration, the plans for monitoring its use, and plans for further studies.

As part of the EUL process, the company producing the vaccine must commit to continue to generate data to enable full licensure and WHO prequalification of the vaccine. The WHO prequalification process will assess additional clinical data generated from vaccine trials and deployment on a rolling basis to ensure the vaccine meets the necessary standards of quality, safety and efficacy for broader availability.

WHO has also listed the Pfizer/BioNTech, Astrazeneca-SK Bio and Serum Institute of India vaccines for emergency use.

The 2021 Global Health 50/50 report, “Gender equality: Flying blind in a time of crisis

by Public Health Update March 12, 2021

written by Public Health Update

The 2021 Global Health 50/50 report, “Gender equality: Flying blind in a time of crisis,” reviews the gender-related policies and practices of 201 global organisations active in global health.

Against the backdrop of a calamitous 2020, the report finds notable areas of progress and hope. The new data and research show that organisational commitment to gender equality is surging, and that organisations are becoming more transparent about their policies on shaping diverse, inclusive and equitable working environments for people.

The latest data also suggest, however, that rhetoric is often used as a substitute for action. The report reveals that the vast majority of programmatic activity to prevent and address the health impacts of COVID-19 largely ignores the role of gender. Evidence gathered by the GH5050 collective of researchers, strategists and practitioners shows that gender influences everything from who gets tested for COVID-19 to risk of severe disease and death. Yet, in a male-default world, the report finds that gender as a driver of everyone’s health, including that of men and boys, remains under-appreciated, under-counted and under-addressed. The result is gender-blind pandemic responses that are less effective than they should be, with grave consequences for the health of people everywhere.

The year 2020 marked the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a global blueprint for gender equality and women’s rights. This year, however, sees the appointment of yet another cohort of mostly male global health leaders, predominantly from high-income countries, with the mandate to exert influence over the health and wellbeing of people worldwide. Despite substantial rhetoric, the data reveals little progress towards gender equality and diversity in leadership across the health sector and no progress on closing the gender pay gap among UK organisations mandated to report on it.

In the face of multiple global crises, a global health system dominated by individuals and institutions in high-income countries forgoes essential talent, knowledge and expertise, with serious implications for pandemic preparedness, progress on Universal Health Coverage and meeting the health-related targets of the Sustainable Development Goals.
