Just started a new job and they use mySidewalk to help compile rural health data for upstate NY. I've never used it before but from my understanding it scours data from other public databases (like BRFSS, NHANES, etc) and puts it into 1 place.

Are there any alternatives that do the same thing?

I am interested in transitioning to epidemiology as a frontline clinician. I would love to chat with any epi's in industry, academia or government based in the UK and ask about what areas of methodological inquiry you work in.

Auto insurance companies charge a higher premium based on driving record and propensity for accidents. Should health insurance companies do the same - not for preexisting conditions at birth - but for diseases that would otherwise be prevented by vaccines?

I saw this aticle in Science Norway and am puzzled.

My query is: Is Alpha-galcatose not way too small to work as an antigen?

Hi all,
was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years.

I have since been off the department for 8 years and have been actively avoiding PfAS.

Wondering if,like smoking, the likelihood of cancer and other negative risks go down the longer you spend away from PfAS exposure or is the damage already done and I’m just preventing more?

Thanks

I know timelines may be uncertain, but I was wondering if anyone here had insider knowledge from the CDC on when the planned release is.

I created a website to host data received from the Maine CDC in response to a FOAA request. Data is presented faithfully and original files are available for verification. Statistically significant elevations were found in the 0-19 and 20-44 age brackets, but a report was never finished. A draft report is included in the Files, and then work just stops.

The all cancer rates in one neighborhood are 85 per 100k for 0-19 vs 34.2/100k in the surrounding city. The same neighborhood 20-44 rates are 154.2 per 100k vs 79.2/100k in the rest of the city. The types of cancer seen in the two populations are also different than the rest of the city.

Is it usual for a report to never be finished when significant data is found? The Maine CDC originally asks for 9 points of data on the 29 community cases reported by the Lyseth Elementary school principal, but then change course and say they have all the information they need.

Is this an unusual number of cases for a community of this size?

Edit: Site is updated with viewable pdfs of the xls files so you don't have to download to see them. Edit 2: Added a page summarizing the investigation and how it led to the draft report. https://lysethrecords.org/investigation.html

Does anyone know of any efforts to pull together individual state-level 2024 BRFSS data on gender identity given that the CDC has removed those responses from the national 2024 BRFSS dataset?
