Report

This report presents summary data for U.S. TB cases reported to the Division of TB Elimination, CDC, during 2016.

This report discusses how school nurses play a role in school based mental and behavioral health.

The report provides an overview of public health department activities for people experiencing homelessness in 2023. Interviews with public health departments and surveys with public health entities, Health Care for the Homeless organizations, Continuums of Care, and Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability Insurance Outreach, Access, and Recovery partners, were used during the analysis. 

This report makes clear that there is a path to end AIDS. Taking that path will help ensure preparedness to address other pandemic challenges, and advance progress across the Sustainable Development Goals. The data and real-world examples in the report make it very clear what that path is. It is not a mystery. It is a choice. Some leaders are already following the path—and succeeding.

Special and vulnerable populations (SVP) often face additional barriers to care, many of which are compounded by social determinants. When screening for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), health centers serving SVP will need to take into account the unique needs and circumstances of the populations they serve, particularly during times of crisis (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic). Screening for SDOH is the first step towards addressing these disparities.

SDOH is the first step towards addressing these disparities. In 2020, from October to November, AAPCHO, HOP, MHP Salud, and NHCHC hosted the “Screening Methods and Using Outreach and Enabling Services to Address Social Determinants of Health.”

This report highlights the human experiences of stigma and discrimination related to hepatitis B by demonstrating the impact that living with the virus can have on mental health, quality of life, individual freedoms and human rights. We focus on the work of people trying to challenge this stigma, discriminations and describe the support they need to be successful. 

This packet of recommendations discusses how in October 2022, INHSU Prisons and the Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination (CGHE), Task Force for Global Health convened a workshop on the strategies for expanding access to hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevention, testing, and treatment in prison settings. During the workshop, barriers and recommendations to accelerating HCV elimination in prison settings were examined in four areas: 1) Policy, 2) Implementation, 3) Financing, and 4) Awareness.

This report summarizes that the third WHS was held as a predominately virtual event in 2022, with a small in-person hub at the World Health Organization in Geneva, with the theme of “Achieving the elimination of viral hepatitis within evolving health systems”. The programme introduced the new Global Health Sector Strategy (2022-2030) and explored topics across the cascade of care for hepatitis A, B, C, D and E, including barriers such as stigma and discrimination and innovations, like the potential for a functional cure for hepatitis B.
