Cottone, Dina M.; McCabe, Paul C. – School Psychology, 2022
Human history is replete with pandemics caused by virulent diseases that have produced overwhelming suffering and death. Our future will require swift, sensible, and near-universal vaccine response as viruses evolve and thrive. When viruses like COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 emerge and mutate, vaccine researchers must be nimble and responsive to quickly…

Oliver, Sara E.; Patton, Monica E.; Hoban, Mary; Leino, Victor; Mbaeyi, Sarah A.; Hariri, Susan; MacNeil, Jessica R. – Journal of American College Health, 2021
Objective: Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines (MenACWY) have been recommended routinely for adolescents since 2005; in 2015, serogroup B meningococcal (MenB) vaccines were recommended for persons aged 16-23 years based on individual clinical decision making. We surveyed college health providers or administrators to understand current…

Dylan K. Smith; Kristin Lauro; Dymond Kelly; Joel Fish; Emma Lintelman; David McEwen; Corrin Smith; Max Stecz; Tharushi D. Ambagaspitiya; Jixin Chen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A physical chemistry lab for undergraduate students described in this report is about applying kinetic models to analyze the spread of COVID-19 in the United States and obtain the reproduction numbers. The susceptible-infectious-recovery (SIR) model and the SIR-vaccinated (SIRV) model are explained to the students and are used to analyze the…

Marlow, Mariel; Even, Susan; Hoban, Mary Theresa; Moore, Kelly; Patel, Manisha; Marin, Mona – Journal of American College Health, 2021
Objective: During January 2016-June 2017, 75 mumps outbreaks occurred in US universities, despite high vaccine coverage among students. We evaluated universities' experiences with mumps outbreaks to inform policy deliberations on use of a third dose of MMR vaccine and CDC guidance. Participants: American College Health Association members in…

Candrilli, Sean D.; Kurosky, Samantha – RTI International, 2019
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a contagious bacterial infection that can occur sporadically in healthy individuals. Symptoms are typically similar to other common diseases, which can result in delayed diagnosis and treatment until patients are critically ill. In the United States, IMD outbreaks are rare and unpredictable. During an…

Paul T. von Hippel – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2021
In an effort to reduce viral transmission, many schools are planning to reduce class size if they have not reduced it already. Yet the effect of class size on transmission is unknown. To determine whether smaller classes reduce school absence, especially when community disease prevalence is high, we merge data from the Project STAR randomized…
