Inclusion or full participation by children with disabilities in programs and activities designed for typically developing children benefits children with and without disabilities and their families. Inclusive care programs are least available for school-age children and adolescents. A review of the literature identified best practices for effective inclusive out-of-school care, including: a written program philosophy; a written plan for inclusive programs; strong leadership; a disability awareness program for staff and children; training and support for staff; sufficient staff to meet program needs; a working communication and collaboration; an adapted setting, activities, and time parameters; proficient collaboration with families; and an evaluation plan.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Decarbonization Potential of Global Fired Clay Brick Production.

Environ Sci Technol

January 2025

Laboratory of Construction Materials, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland.

Fired clay bricks (FCBs) are a dominant building material globally due to their low cost and simplicity of production, especially in low- and middle-income countries. With a projected rising housing demand, commensurate growth in brick demand is anticipated, the production of which could result in significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Robust models are needed to estimate brick demand and emissions to systematically address decarbonization pathways.

Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes

January 2025

Division of Emergency Medical Services, Public Health - Seattle & King County, WA (J.S., J.L., M.P., C.D., J.B., S.G., P.K., T.R.).

Background: Although racial disparities have been described in resuscitation, little is known about potential bias in race classification of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults treated by emergency medical services (EMS) for nontraumatic OHCA in King County, WA between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021. We assessed agreement using κ and evaluated patterns of missingness between EMS-assessed race versus comprehensive race classification from hospital and death records.

Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of antiretroviral drugs as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for preventing HIV acquisition for occupational and non-occupational exposures. To inform the development of global WHO recommendations on PEP, we reviewed national guidelines of PEP for their recommendations.

Methods: Policies addressing PEP from 38 WHO HIV priority countries were obtained by searching governmental and non-governmental websites and consulting country and regional experts; these countries were selected based on HIV burden, new HIV acquisitions and the number of HIV-associated deaths.
