    Abstract Injuries are a public health crisis. Neurotrauma, a specific type of injury, is a leading cause of death and disability globally, with the largest burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, there is a lack of quality neurotrauma-specific data in LMICs, especially at the national level. Without standard criteria for what constitutes a national registry, and significant challenges frequently preventing this level of data collection, we argue that single-institution or regional databases can provide significant value for context-appropriate solutions. Although granular data for larger populations and a universal minimum dataset to enable comparison remain the gold standard, we must put progress over perfection. It is critical to engage local experts to explore available data and build effective information systems to inform solutions and serve as the foundation for quality and process improvement initiatives. Other items to consider include adequate resource allocation and leveraging of technology as we work to address the persistent but largely preventable injury pandemic.

    Abstract Introduction: United States medical schools continue to respond to student interest in global health (GH) and the evolution of the field through strengthening related curricula. The COVID-19 pandemic and superimposed racial justice movements exposed chasms in the US healthcare system. We sought to explore the possible relationship between the pandemic, US racial justice movements, and medical student interest in GH to inform future academic offerings that best meet student needs.
    Methods: A novel, mixed-methods 30-question Qualtrics survey was disseminated twice (May-August 2021) through email and social media to all current students. Data underwent descriptive and thematic analysis.
    Results: Twenty students who self-identified as interested in GH responded to the survey. Most (N = 13, 65%) were in preclinical training, and half were women (N = 10, 50%). Five (25%) selected GH definitions with paternalistic undertones, 11 (55%) defined GH as noncontingent on geography, and 12 (60%) said the pandemic and US racial justice movement altered their definitions to include themes of equity and racial justice. Eighteen (90%) became interested in GH before medical school through primarily volunteering (N = 8, 40%). Twelve (60%) students plan to incorporate GH into their careers.
    Conclusions: Our survey showed most respondents entered medical school with GH interest. Nearly all endorsed a changed perspective since enrollment, with a paradigm shift toward equity and racial justice. Shifts were potentially accelerated by the global pandemic, which uncovered disparities at home and abroad. These results highlight the importance of faculty and curricula that address global needs and how this might critically impact medical students.

    Abstract Background: The standard method of sharing information in academia is the scientific journal. Yet health advocacy requires alternative methods to reach key stakeholders to drive change. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of social media and public narrative for advocacy in matters of firearm-related injury and death.
    Study design: The movement This Is Our Lane was evaluated through the #ThisIsOurLane and #ThisIsMyLane hashtags. Sources were assessed from November 2018 through March 2019. Analyses specifically examined message volume, time course, global engagement, and content across Twitter, scientific literature, and mass media. Twitter data were analyzed via Symplur Signals. Scientific literature reviews were performed using PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Mass media was compiled using Access World News/Newsbank, Newspaper Source, and Google.
    Results: A total of 507,813 tweets were shared using #ThisIsOurLane, #ThisIsMyLane, or both (co-occurrence 21-39%). Fifteen scientific items and n = 358 mass media publications were published during the study period; the latter included articles, blogs, television interviews, petitions, press releases, and audio interviews/podcasts. Peak messaging appeared first on Twitter on November 10th, followed by mass media on November 12th and 20th, and scientific publications during December.
    Conclusions: Social media enables clinicians to quickly disseminate information about a complex public health issue like firearms to the mainstream media, scientific community, and general public alike. Humanized data resonates with people and has the ability to transcend the barriers of language, culture, and geography. Showing society the reality of caring for firearm-related injuries through healthcare worker stories via digital media appears to be effective in shaping the public agenda and influencing real-world events.

    Abstract Staggering statistics regarding the global burden of disease due to lack of surgical care worldwide has been gaining attention in the global health literature over the last 10 years. The Lancet Commission on Global Surgery reported that 16.9 million lives were lost due to an absence of surgical care in 2010, equivalent to 33% of all deaths worldwide. Although data from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are limited, recent investigations, such as the African Surgical Outcomes Study, highlight that despite operating on low risk patients, there is increased postoperative mortality in LMICs versus higher-resource settings, a majority of which occur secondary to seemingly preventable complications like surgical site infections. We propose that implementing creative, low-cost surgical outcomes monitoring and select quality improvement systems proven effective in high-income countries, such as surgical infection prevention programs and safety checklists, can enhance the delivery of safe surgical care in existing LMIC surgical systems. While efforts to initiate and expand surgical access and capacity continues to deserve attention in the global health community, here we advocate for creative modifications to current service structures, such as promoting a culture of safety, employing technology and mobile health (mHealth) for patient data collection and follow-up, and harnessing partnerships for information sharing, to create a framework for improving morbidity and mortality in responsible, scalable, and sustainable ways.

    Abstract Addressing the burden of injury in low-resource settings requires development of trauma systems. This study aimed to describe perceptions of trauma in Santa Cruz, Bolivia to better inform strategies for trauma system development. In 2015-2016, we conducted 16 individual and 11 group interviews with key stakeholders involved with or exposed to trauma. A pile sorting activity showed participants pictures of injury mechanisms to explore perceptions of trauma. Responses were analysed for themes using content and discourse analysis. Among 27 interviews, six were with physicians, seven with first responders, three with community members, and 11 with trauma patients. Pictures commonly categorised as trauma depicted a road traffic incident (92.6%), fall (88.9%), gunshot wound (88.9%), and burn (85.2%). Fewer respondents stated intoxication (51.9%) or drowning (40.7%) were trauma. Coding of responses revealed five themes: trauma definition, mechanism, physical injury, management, and psychological trauma. Medical personnel focused more on trauma as mechanism, physical injury, and management, whereas laypersons commonly described trauma as psychological. Varied understanding of what represents trauma could influence trauma registry data collection. Laypersons' focus on psychological trauma may affect use of designated trauma care hospitals. These viewpoints must be considered when designing policies and interventions for trauma system strengthening.

    Abstract Social media, Twitter in particular, has emerged as an essential tool for surgeons. In the realm of academic surgery, it enables surgeons to advance the core values of academic surgery, as outlined by the Association for Academic Surgery: inclusion, leadership, innovation, scholarship, and mentorship. This article details the ways in which surgeons are using Twitter to embody these values and how the Twitter account for the Association of Academic Surgeons accomplishes its goal of inspiring and developing young academic surgeons.

    Abstract Background: Five billion people worldwide lack access to safe surgery. American College of Surgeons (ACS) members have a strong history of humanitarian and volunteer work. Since its founding in 2004, Operation Giving Back (OGB) has served as a volunteer resource portal. This study sought to understand current activities, needs, and barriers to ACS member volunteerism, and to re-assess the role of OGB.
    Methods: A 25-question electronic survey was sent to ACS members in August 2015. Utilizing branching logic, those who were involved or interested in volunteerism completed the full survey. Data were assessed using univariable analysis methods.
    Results: Three percent (n = 1764) of those e-mailed answered the survey. Respondents were mostly men (82%), ≥50 years of age (61%), and general surgeons (70%). Fifty-three percent (n = 937) reported current or past volunteer activities, and 76.5% (n = 1349) were interested in activities within three years. Approximately 84% were interested in international volunteerism and 55% in domestic volunteerism. Few (5.7%) had both training and experience in emergency and disaster response, and only 17% had institutional salary support. Eighty-two percent wished to work with OGB, and 418 indicated organizations with whom they are involved could benefit from OGB collaboration.
    Conclusions: Interest in surgical volunteerism among ACS member survey respondents is high. OGB has the opportunity to meet member needs by developing programmatic activities, identifying volunteer prospects, facilitating multi-institutional consortia, and leading pre-deployment training. By maximizing volunteer efforts, OGB has the potential to foster sustainable and scalable ethical practices to improve basic access to surgical care globally.
