This important text explores the deep relationships between poverty, health/mental health conditions, and widespread social problems as they affect the lives of low-income women. A robust source of both empirical findings and first-person descriptions by poor women of their living conditions, it exposes cyclical patterns of structural and environmental stressors contributing to impaired physical and mental health. Psychological conditions (notably depression and PTSD), substance use and abuse, domestic and gu
Atlanta HIV/AIDS epidemic continues during COVID-19
AID Atlanta is asking for donations after experiencing a greater demand for HIV care services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We continue to meet this demand because of generous gifts from friends like you. Gifts of your time and financial resources in support of improving health in our community combine to make meeting our mission possible,” their website states.
They are currently prioritizing donations for “rent and utility assistance, food vouchers, public transportation and Uber health services, health insurance premiums and co-pay assistance [and] PrEP Labs.”
Currently, AID Atlanta has approximately 3,000 active patients in their healthcare center and 450 high-risk HIV patients in their PrEP therapy clinic. They have continued to provide about 1,200 HIV and 3,000 STD screenings each month.
Emory College physicist Daniel Weissman, who specializes in building mathematical models to better understand the rapid evolution of pathogens, has been named a 2021 Sloan Research Fellow.
The prestigious fellowship honors Weissman as among the most promising researchers working today. He plans to use the $75,000, two-year award to amplify his latest effort, to examine antibiotic resistance by building a model from a massive database of genomes from
Staphylococcus aureus, an opportunistically pathogenic skin bacterium. The database was constructed by Timothy Read, an infectious diseases professor at Emory University School of Medicine.
“You’re talking about looking at 70,000 genomes, several million bases long, to see if there are patterns that predict the evolution of antibiotic resistance,” Weissman says. “I’m incredibly excited about the opportunity and cross-collaboration.”
Emory University researchers are enhancing a dynamic COVID-19 Health Equity dashboard to shine a light on how US states are progressing on the vaccination. Reports indicate that Black Americans, who have been disproportionately impacted by the virus, are lagging behind in getting the vaccine.
