Time-Critical Emergencies in Suburban Parks and Outdoor Recreation Spaces.

Objective Prior studies have described the patterns of emergency medical service (EMS) activations in national parks in the United States. However, little data exists regarding EMS activations in local and regional outdoor recreational locations. We performed a retrospective analysis of EMS activations originating from parks and recreational areas in suburban Howard County, Maryland, to characterize those activations determined to be time-critical emergencies.

Gendered differences in perceptions and reports of wellbeing: A cross-sectional survey of adults on ART in Malawi.

Few studies have examined gender differences in reported quality of life among persons living with HIV (PLWH) in low-income countries. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of adults on antiretroviral therapy in Malawi, including questions focused on wellbeing, and collected clinical data on these respondents. We compared men's and women's self-reported health and wellbeing using Poisson models that included socio-demographic covariates.

A Multi-Dimensional Characterization of Aging and Wellbeing Among HIV-Positive Adults in Malawi.

There is relatively little research on aging with HIV and wellbeing in sub-Saharan Africa. A cross-sectional survey was implemented in Malawi; eligible respondents were ≥ 30 years old and on ART for ≥ 2 years. Univariate and multiple regression analyses were stratified by age (younger adults: aged 30-49; older adults: aged ≥ 50) and gender.
