[Hepatitis B virus infection and vaccine-induced immunity: the role of sociodemographic determinants : Results of the study "German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults" (DEGS1, 2008-2011)].

Background And Objective: Even though the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Germany is low, it is important to identify vulnerable groups and targeted approaches for infection prevention. Previous analyses from the "German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults" (DEGS1, 2008-2011) have shown that HBV infections and vaccination are associated with sociodemographic determinants. This paper examines the results in detail.

Interventions to facilitate return to work in adults with adjustment disorders.

Background: Adjustment disorders are a frequent cause of sick leave and various interventions have been developed to expedite the return to work (RTW) of individuals on sick leave due to adjustment disorders.

Do the media provide transparent health information? A cross-cultural comparison of public information about the HPV vaccine.

The media is a powerful tool for informing the public about health treatments. In particular, the Internet has gained importance as a widely valued source for health information for parents and adolescents. Nonetheless, traditional sources, such as newspapers, continue to report on health innovations.

Diesel motor emissions and lung cancer mortality--results of the second follow-up of a cohort study in potash miners.

International health authorities have graded diesel motor emissions (DME) as probably cancerogenic in human beings. There are gaps in epidemiological evidence regarding exact exposure quantification, confounder control and the investigation of highly exposed populations. We investigated the association of DME and lung cancer mortality in a historical cohort study of 5,862 German potash miners who were followed from 1970 to 2001.

Disease management programs for depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Substantial deficits in the care of depression make the provision of new evidence-based care models a matter of increasing importance. So far, disease management programs (DMPs) have not been systematically assessed.

Objective: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating the effectiveness of DMP for depression as compared with usual primary care.
