    Abstract Background: 9-1-1 telecommunicators are frequently exposed to indirect traumatic events that impact their mental and physical health and are often required to work overtime with rotating shifts. Previous studies reported various harmful effects of overtime on the health and well-being of workers, such as musculoskeletal injuries, burnout, low job satisfaction, fatigue, and intent to leave. However, there is limited research on the impact of overtime hours on 9-1-1 telecommunicators' stress symptoms, especially mandatory overtime hours. This study aimed to examine the relationship between overtime hours-mandatory and voluntary-and the level of stress symptoms among 9-1-1 telecommunicators.
    Methods: We used secondary data from the surveys of the "Multi-tasking to hyper-tasking: Investigating the impact of Next Generation 9-1-1" study for analysis. Linear mixed-effects regression was applied to examine the association of overtime hours with the stress level.
    Results: Of the 403 participants, 47.6% reported that they were required to work mandatory overtime, and the mean mandatory overtime was 7.51 (
    Conclusion/application to practice: Study results highlight the importance of reducing mandatory overtime in call centers as one possible strategy for reducing stress levels among this critical workforce.

    Abstract Abstract: Public health spending is important for managing increases in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the United States. Although previous studies suggest that a beneficial link exists between public health spending and changes in STD rates, there have been no systematic reviews synthesizing existing evidence regarding the association for STDs at the population level. The objective of this study was to synthesize evidence from studies that assessed the associations between general and STD-specific public health spending and STD rates. We conducted a systematic review using Ovid-Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EconLit for relevant studies that examined the association between public health spending and gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and chancroid rates following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A total of 5 articles (2 regarding general public health spending and 3 regarding STD-specific public health spending) met our inclusion criteria. There was a significant decrease in gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, and chancroid rates associated with increased public health spending. We also found that STD-specific public health spending has a greater effect on STD rates compared with general public health spending. Our review provides evidence that increases in general and STD-specific public health spending are associated with a reduction of STD rates. Such research regarding estimates of the impact of STD prevention spending can help policy makers identify priority funding areas and inform health resource allocation decisions.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the estimated associations between annual sexually transmitted diseases (STD) expenditures per capita and STD incidence rates among Florida and Washington local health departments (LHDs) from 2001 to 2017, using two approaches-a longitudinal regression model with lagged STD spending and a regression model with the Arellano-Bond panel estimator.
    Data sources: Secondary data for LHDs were obtained from Florida and Washington state government offices and combined with county sociodemographic and health system data from the federal government.
    Study design: We examined LHDs in Florida and Washington using a longitudinal panel study design to estimate ecological relationships between annual STD expenditures per capita and annual STD incidence rates from 2001 to 2017, with LHDs as the unit of analysis. We compared two regression models: generalized estimating equations (GEE) and the Arellano-Bond panel estimator (an instrumental variable approach).
    Data collection: The secondary data were combined to build a longitudinal panel database for LHDs in Florida and Washington from 2001 to 2017.
    Principal findings: In the GEE model with both states, greater STD spending in a prior year was associated unexpectedly with greater STD incidence rates in succeeding years. The Arellano-Bond models for both states had the expected inverse associations but were not significant. In the Arellano-Bond models for Florida, a $1 increase in STD spending in previous years was followed by decreases in STD incidence rates ranging between 29 and 58 points in succeeding years (0.09 ≥ p ≥ 0.04).
    Conclusions: In longitudinal panel data for LHDs in two states, the Arellano-Bond estimator, or other instrumental variable approach, is preferred over conventional regression models to obtain unbiased estimates of the relationship between annual STD spending rates and annual STD rates. Future studies will require accurate, standardized, and detailed longitudinal data and rigorous analytic approaches, such as those illustrated in our study.

    Abstract Dogs with B-cell lymphoma typically respond well to first-line CHOP-based chemotherapy, but there is no standard of care for relapsed patients. To help veterinary oncologists select effective drugs for dogs with lymphoid malignancies such as B-cell lymphoma, we have developed multimodal machine learning models that integrate data from multiple tumor profiling modalities and predict the likelihood of a positive clinical response for 10 commonly used chemotherapy drugs. Here we report on clinical outcomes that occurred after oncologists received a prediction report generated by our models. Remarkably, we found that dogs that received drugs predicted to be effective by the models experienced better clinical outcomes by every metric we analyzed (overall response rate, complete response rate, duration of complete response, patient survival times) relative to other dogs in the study and relative to historical controls.

    Abstract Aims: This study of a levy-voter funded public health initiative program (1) identifies capacity-building concerns, (2) summarizes those concerns at the community-based organization (CBO) level, and (3) documents the desired CBO capacity-building outcome.
    Participants: Nineteen participants from nine CBOs were included, representing 95% of participants (19/20) and 90% of CBOs (9/10) from the initiative's program population.
    Methods: Interviews were conducted. A focus group validated data. Demographic surveys were completed.
    Methodology and analysis: Data were analyzed using demographic and inductive content analyses. Fifteen capacity-building unexpected concerns were identified. Participants from eight out of nine (88.8%) CBOs shared at least ten concerns. Seven CBO capacity-building outcomes were identified.
    Results: Capacity-building providers helped participants mitigate the Initiative's capacity-building testing of the National Implementation Research Network (NIRN) model. Participants' NIRN processes were Western and mainstream. Participants wanted community-designed processes and the funder to understand CBO clients' backgrounds, cultures, and languages. The contract money did not match the needed capacity-building processes, time, and workload.
    Discussion: The funder's pre-selected the NIRN Western majority approach did not fit. Participants wanted to lead. Capacity-building only for home-based program development was less desired. Social justice leadership could have made a difference.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the longitudinal influence of social capital and self-esteem on depressive symptoms among adolescents. A multivariate latent growth model was used to test secondary data obtained from the Korea Youth Panel Survey. Social capital and self-esteem tended to increase over periods of four years, whereas depressive symptoms had a tendency to decrease in the same periods. In the case of indirect effects on depressive symptoms by way of self-esteem, significant indirect associations were identified. The results indicated that the intercept of social capital had a significant indirect effect and total effect on the intercept of depressive symptoms. In addition, the slope of social capital had a significant indirect effect and total effect on the slope of depressive symptom. The initial development of social capital and self-esteem is shown to be effective for reducing adolescents' depressive symptoms.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to measure the magnitude and distribution of a Korean's lifetime dental expenses depending on age and sex, by constructing a hypothetical lifetime and life table of survival. Additionally, we estimated the difference in life expectancy between men and women and its impact on dental expenses. We used the 2015 Korea Health Panel Survey to calculate the total dental expenditure, including expenses paid directly by patients and those paid by insurers. We generated survival profiles to simulate dental expenses during a typical lifetime (from birth to age 95) using the abridged life table (five-year intervals for age groups) in 2015 from the South Korean Statistical Information Service. We independently calculated the remaining dental expenses for survivors of all ages. The results showed that an estimate of average lifetime dental expenditure was $31,851 per capita: $31,587 for men and $32,318 for women. Nearly 33% of the average per capita lifetime dental expenditure was attributable to the longer life expectancy of women, with no statistically significant difference in lifetime dental expenditure between men and women. Many survivors incurred 70% of their lifetime dental expenses before age 65. The results highlighted the need for policymakers to address spending on age-specific dental care owing to extended life expectancy, given the disproportionate share of healthcare resources supporting the elderly.

    Abstract Aims: The study aim was to examine the impact of a home-based programme intervention on organizational contexts, implementation processes and organizational capacity outcomes from multicultural, multilingual participants working at community-based organizations.
    Design: This was a sequential exploratory, mixed-methods longitudinal study using community-based participatory research principles.
    Sample: Twenty participants from nine multicultural, multilingual community-based organizations were in this public health initiative's intervention to develop community-designed, home-based programmes.
    Methods: Capacity building providers delivered the intervention selected by the funders. Workshop outcomes were descriptively measured in April/May 2019. In April/May and November 2019, participants completed surveys about organizational contexts, implementation processes and organizational capacity outcomes, which were analysed with t-tests using the organization as the unit of analysis. Qualitative data were analysed using content analysis.
    Results: Seven programmes were new and two were modified. As workshop outcomes, 59% of participants reported increased overall implementation knowledge and 74% reported capacity building providers as the most helpful resource. After 6 to 7 months, no statistically significant changes were noted in organizational contexts, implementation processes or organizational capacity outcomes. Participants benefited from capacity building because they had programmes developed, formed partnerships with capacity building providers, gained implementation knowledge, and engaged in networking.
    Conclusion: Participants reported excellent individual and organizational strengths. Many Initiative factors contributed to no statistical changes. Namely, there was no opportunity for baseline data; limited community-based organization engagement in the intervention model selection, timeline and processes; the Initiative's timeline did not fit participants' timeline; insufficient time to develop culturally and linguistically appropriate programmes; late literature review abstracts; lack of adequate, planful and paid capacity building time; and a contract requirement to have the programme due when it was not implementable. These Initiative design factors, as reported by participants, limited the Initiative's home-based programme development.
    Impact: This study highlights the strengths of participants, community-based organizations and capacity building providers. Model selection, timeline and budget were identified as key factors for equitable implementation in multicultural, multilingual organizations.
