Rural Perspectives on Digital Health in Cardiovascular Care: Qualitative Study of Interviews With Rural and Rural-Serving Primary Care Providers and Cardiologists

A Republican plan to reform the census could put everyone's privacy at risk. Research by Abraham Flaxman, associate professor of global health, warns how census data could be used under this plan to identify vulnerable individuals. https://bit.ly/WIREDCensus102825
The Republican Plan to Reform the Census Could Put Everyone’s Privacy at Risk
A little-known algorithmic process called “differential privacy” helps keep census data anonymous. Conservatives want it gone.

A new study conducted jointly by DGH and South African researchers confirms that text-based follow-up between patients and providers after adult voluntary medical male circumcision for HIV prevention is just as safe as in-person visits, while preserving the quality of care. https://bit.ly/PLOS2wT
Strengthening evidence for text-based telehealth in post-operative care: A pragmatic study of the reach and effectiveness of two-way, text-based follow-up after voluntary medical male circumcision in South Africa
Building upon evidence of safety and efficiency gains from a randomized control trial (RCT) in South Africa, we further scaled implementation of two-way, short message service (SMS), text-based (2wT) follow-up after voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC). We aimed to determine if gains in adverse event (AE) identification and reduced follow-up visits could be maintained when 2wT was implemented in routine VMMC settings. A pragmatic, stepped wedge design (SWD) study was implemented across three districts in South Africa. Men ages 15 and older could opt into the 2wT telehealth follow-up...
