Background And Purpose: This study evaluated the perceived impact of using Flip (Microsoft Corp.) to facilitate a group project in a socially distanced environment.
Educational Activity And Setting: Student groups were assigned a self-care scenario, and students independently traveled to local pharmacies to identify a pertinent nonprescription product. Students individually recorded a review of the product using Flip. Subsequently, students reviewed and replied to group member videos to compare products. Students worked as a group to develop consensus regarding the most appropriate product recommendation for their scenario. At semester end, students completed a questionnaire about their experiences using Flip for the project.
Findings: Sixty-eight students (91%) completed the perceptions questionnaire at course conclusion. Students found Flip enjoyable (68%) and easy to use (74%). The majority of students (82%) viewed all of their group members' Flip videos, and most (88%) agreed or strongly agreed Flip facilitated group work in a socially distanced environment.
Summary: Students overall perceived Flip as enjoyable and easy to use. Though utilization of Flip was initially due social distancing requirements, the positive student feedback encouraged continued use of this platform asynchronously. Flip provides a unique mechanism for facilitating group projects in multiple different environments.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic profoundly disrupted the epidemiology of respiratory viruses, driven primarily by widespread non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as social distancing and masking. This eight-year retrospective study examines the seasonal patterns and incidence of influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and other respiratory viruses across pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic phases in Jalisco, Mexico. Weekly case counts were analyzed using an interrupted time series (ITS) model, segmenting the timeline into these three distinct phases.

Background/objectives: Rural communities in the United States experience increased disparity of care for both general healthcare services and access to routine vaccines. Previous research has indicated a 40% lower vaccination rate in rural communities, as compared to urban counterparts. Having a better understanding regarding factors influencing lower vaccination rates in rural areas could help public health officials prepare for future vaccination efforts.

By the end of October 2020, the 112-day lockdown in the Australian state of Victoria was the longest continuous lockdown period internationally. Previous studies have examined how the COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions have affected Australians' mental health and well-being; however, less is known about the relationship between psychological variables and well-being.
