Background: The National Clinician Consultation Center operates the Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Hotline (PEPline), a federally-funded educational resource providing bloodborne pathogen exposure management teleconsultation to US clinicians.
Methods: Sixty-seven thousand one hundred nine occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) consultations (January 2014 to December 2022) were retrospectively analyzed to describe PEPline utilization and common inquiries addressed by National Clinician Consultation Center consultants.
Results: Most calls involved percutaneous incidents (70%); blood was the most common body fluid discussed (60%).
Purpose: To investigate factors associated with spectacle wear among low-income preschoolers who receive glasses through the See Well to Learn (SWTL) program.
Methods: Qualitative study of parental perceptions of factors contributing to compliance during a longitudinal study of eyeglass wear utilizing thematic analysis of a series of three scripted phone calls during the 2017-2018 school year. Participants were parents of 164 children ages 3-5, from 51 Head Start preschools in the greater San Francisco region.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to analyze how well preschool-aged children from low-income families comply with wearing eyeglasses provided through the See Well to Learn program.
- Out of 188 participants aged 3 to 5 years, 71% consistently wore their glasses for more than 50% of school days during the 2017-2018 school year.
- The only significant factor influencing compliance was the initial uncorrected visual acuity in the better-seeing eye, indicating that children with poorer vision were more likely to wear their glasses regularly.
