Centre for Public Health and Epidemiology, School of Medicine, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK.
The prevalence of viral hepatitis among people in prisons is higher than in the general population. Screening, treatment and vaccination programmes exist within prisons to reduce the incidence of hepatitis, although lower uptake has often been reported compared to similar programmes outside of prisons. We conducted a systematic review of qualitative evidence to explore the barriers and facilitators to hepatitis B and C reduction programmes in prisons from the perspectives of people in prison, custodial staff and prison healthcare staff.

Human prion diseases are a rare group of transmissible neurodegenerative conditions which are classified according to their aetiology as sporadic, genetic or acquired forms. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is the most common form of human prion disease, with the sporadic form accounting for ∼85% of all reported cases. While advances have been made in the development of clinical tools and biomarkers in the diagnosis of prion disease, allowing greater diagnostic certainty for surveillance purposes, definitive diagnosis requires neuropathological examination of the brain at postmortem.

Epidemiology and Health Analytics, Research and Education Network, Western Sydney Local Health District, North Parramatta, NSW, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- - Cervical screening is key for early detection of cervical cancer, but traditional methods face issues like embarrassment and accessibility, making self-collection a viable alternative to increase screening rates among underserved populations.
- - A recent survey of Australian healthcare workers revealed gaps in their understanding of self-collection methods, along with a preference for clinician collection and concerns about patients’ willingness to use self-collection.
- - To improve participation in cervical screening, especially among those who are under- or never-screened, comprehensive education and accessible resources about self-collection are necessary to address knowledge gaps and build patient confidence.
