Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common virus that can lead to certain types of cancer later in life. About 47,199 new HPV-associated cancers occur in the United States each year. The HPV vaccination prevents 90% of HPV-attributable cancers, however; only 67% of adolescents aged 13-17 are up-to-date on their HPV vaccines. The main inhibitors to parental acceptance of the HPV vaccine include lack of, inconsistent, and/or low-quality healthcare provider recommendations. Read more about HPV vaccine hesitancy and click the link in our bio to view an example protocol to engage HPV vaccine-hesitant parents.

Dec 19

Another public health innovation that has significantly decreased injuries and fatalities are bicycle helmets! Believe it or not, the history of modern bicycle helmets is a relatively short one; they were invented by Bell Auto Parts and introduced to the public in 1975. Head injuries are consistently the most highly reported injury from bicycle accidents and yet many Americans choose not to wear helmets while riding their bikes. Though there is no federal mandate for bicycle helmet use, jurisdictions that implemented bicycle helmet legislation saw a decline in head injuries and fatalities (according to the CDC). Public health is all about implementing strategies to prevent poor health outcomes, and bicycle helmets are a great example.

Check out the link in our bio for a resource from the CDC for tips on bike helmet safety!

Calling all readers! 📚 TIPH book club's winter read will be Michael Lewis' 'The Premonition: A Pandemic Story'! 'The Premonition' features a range of intelligent voices who predicted the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic but were ultimately overlooked by government officials. From the end of December through late February, we will dive into the novel through online discussions, which will be posted on TIPH's Goodreads platform (link in bio). Make sure to go out and buy your copy - just in time for the holidays! 😊

If you're interested in learning more about the book, check out the NPR podcast linked in our bio to hear more from the author!

One of the main goals of This Is Public Health is to bring awareness to the ways in which public health exists in our everyday lives. A perfect example of this is seat belts! Though its ratification into U.S. law was quite contentious, using seatbelts today is practically second nature. According to reports from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, seat belts save an estimated 15,000 lives every year.

Check out the link in our bio for more information about the history of seat belts and comparisons to other public health responses!

Dec 5

While flu season has been upon us for some time, the CDC reports that seasonal influenza activity continues to increase across the United States. One key measure that can be taken to help prevent getting sick from the flu is to get vaccinated annually. This week is National Influenza Vaccination Week, and we encourage you to consider getting vaccinated in order to protect yourself and your community. The CDC recommends flu vaccines for anyone 6 months and older.

Dec 1

Today is World AIDS Day, a day to collectively raise awareness for the fight against HIV, support people living with HIV, and remember those who lost their lives to an HIV/AIDS-related illness. Since its recognition in 1984, more than 35 million people have died from HIV or AIDS-related illnesses and an estimated 38 million people are living with the virus today. Though great strides have been made since 1984, there is still a critical need for increased awareness about protecting oneself from HIV, fighting the stigma, and raising money to continue supporting the movement.

We are devastated by the recent shootings at Club Q, an LGBTQI+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, CO.

The LGBTQI+ community has continued to face a multitude of hate crimes. We stand by this community as we champion social justice, equity, and health for all.

Our hearts break for the victims and families of those who were killed and injured in this recent tragedy, as well as those traumatized by this event. As President Biden said, “We must address the public health epidemic of gun violence in all of its forms.”

We hope others join us in our commitment to do more to end these unacceptable acts of gun violence. We urge everyone to reach out to their members of Congress to pass additional legislation to prevent these violent acts and end this public health epidemic.

Ocean and Seas Health
Our ocean and coasts affect us all—even those of us who don't live near the shoreline. It is a global highway for the movement of commerce and regulates global temperature. And vital source of food for many. Keeping our ocean healthy is more than just protecting human health—it's also about finding new ways to save lives. All new marine-based drugs have already been discovered that treat some types of cancer, antibiotic resistant staph infections, pain, asthma, and inflammation. A health ocean leads to a healthier nation. For more information https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/ocean-human-health.html

Preterm and low birth weight infants. According to WHO, Prematurity and low birth weight remains the leading cause of death in newborns and children under-five years. 15 million newborns are born preterm and more than 20 million are born low birth weight each year. Preterm and LBW infants have a higher risk of developmental disabilities including cerebral palsy and retinopathy of prematurity. The consequences of prematurity and low birth weight may continue into adulthood, increasing the risk of adult onset chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes. https://www.who.int/teams/maternal-newborn-child-adolescent-health-and-ageing/newborn-health/preterm-and-low-birth-weight
