Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...

Community Based Intervention

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs

Survey Safety

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Background:

Internet-based programs for sexually transmitted infection (STI)/HIV partner notification are of interest but lack supporting data for widespread use.
This study evaluates the Colorado inSPOT online partner notification program through clinic-based and web-based methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the effectiveness and patient engagement with the inSPOT Colorado online partner notification program.
To evaluate the recognition and utilization of a web-based STI/HIV partner notification tool in an urban clinic setting.

Main Methods:

Clinic-based surveys were conducted before and after interventions to assess patient recognition and use of inSPOT Colorado.
Website analytics from inSPOT provided data on site hits, e-cards sent, and identified STIs.
Promotional campaigns included clinic interventions, online advertising, and traditional media (newspapers, radio).

Main Results:

Patient recognition and use of inSPOT remained low (<6%) despite promotional efforts.
Online advertising yielded an immediate but short-lived increase in website use; traditional media showed minor increases.
Scabies and pediculosis were the most frequently identified STIs on e-cards. Over 90% of patients preferred in-person partner notification.

Conclusions:

The inSPOT intervention was not effective in this predominantly heterosexual patient population at a large urban STI clinic.
Findings suggest a preference for traditional partner notification methods over online tools in this demographic.
