Aim: To evaluate an intervention (a film and electronic leaflet) disseminated via text message by general practices to promote COVID-19 preventative behaviours in Black and South Asian communities.
Methods: We carried out a before-and-after questionnaire study of attitudes to and implementation of COVID-19 preventative behaviours and qualitative interviews about the intervention with people registered with 26 general practices in England who identified as Black or South Asian.
Results: In the 108 people who completed both questionnaires, we found no significant change in attitudes to and implementation of COVID-19 preventative behaviours, although power was too low to detect significant effects.
Enhancing information for action: A strategic tool for strengthening public health emergency management systems.

Background: This paper addresses the importance of timely and robust information systems that underpin emergency response decision-making, as evidenced during the COVID-19 pandemic in the WHO European Region. Recognizing the relevance of these systems, we propose the strengthening of national emergency response information management systems (ERIMS) within the broader digital health information system (HIS) framework. We aim to develop and present an innovative assessment tool designed to evaluate and assist in the strengthening of ERIMS, contributing to a more resilient and effective emergency response.

In the year 2019, a highly virulent coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged, precipitating the outbreak of the illness known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The commonly employed reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) methodology serves to estimate the viral load in each patient's sample by employing a standard curve. However, it is imperative to recognize that this technique exhibits limitations with respect to clinical diagnosis and therapeutic applications, since an advancement of the conventional polymerase chain reaction methods, digital polymerase chain reaction (digital PCR or DDPCR), enables the direct quantification and clonal amplification of nucleic acid strands.

Many clinical sites shifted towards digital delivery of mental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is still much to learn regarding tailoring digitally delivered interventions for trauma-affected populations. The current study examined the perceptions of Canadian mental health clinicians who provided digitally delivered psychotherapies utilized for trauma-affected populations.

As healthcare and health services become increasingly digitized, individuals with low digital health literacy (DHL) may experience inequitable care and outcomes. We explored factors impacting DHL and recommendations for improvement from community health coordinators and advisors (CHAs) in Alabama and Mississippi in United States. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with CHAs to gather insights on their perspectives on and experiences with DHL.
