To assess emergency preparedness (EP) actions in women with a recent live birth....
Weighted survey procedures were used to evaluate EP actions taken by women with a recent live birth responding to an EP question assessing eight preparedness actions as part of the 2016 Tennessee Preg...
Overall, 82.7% [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 79.3%, 86.1%] of respondents reported any preparedness actions, with 51.8% (95% CI 47.2%, 56.4%) completing 1-4 actions. The most common actions were havin...
Most Tennessee women (about 8 in 10 women) with a recent live birth reported at least one EP action. A three-part EP question may be sufficient for assessing preparedness in this population. These fin...
Phentermine, one of the most-commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals for weight-loss in the United States (US), has appeared on toxicology and listed as a cause of death in fatal drug overdoses in the sta...
We used Tennessee State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS) data and controlled substances monitoring program data (CSMD) to evaluate demographics, prescription history and co-occurr...
We identified 51 phentermine-positive cases, with a subset of 20 that listed phentermine as a cause of death. When compared to all SUDORS cases, a higher proportion of cases that listed phentermine as...
Phentermine was listed as a cause of death in 20 fatal drug overdoses in TN. Our findings suggest there may be differences in the characteristics of these decedents when compared to all SUDORS deceden...
Plant phenological shifts are among the clearest indicators of the effects of climate change. In North America, numerous studies in the northeastern United States have demonstrated earlier spring flow...
We examined 1000+ digitized herbarium records along with location-specific temperature data to analyze phenological shifts of 14 spring-flowering species in two adjacent ecoregions in eastern Tennesse...
Spring-flowering plant communities in the Blue Ridge and the Ridge and Valley ecoregions differed in their sensitivity to temperature; plants in the Ridge and Valley flower 0.73 days earlier/°C on ave...
These results highlight the importance of including ecoregion as a predictor in phenological models for capturing variation in sensitivity among populations and suggest that even small shifts in tempe...
Despite high incidence and mortality risks associated with COVID-19 during the pandemic, stay-at-home orders and vaccination recommendations were met with varying levels of acceptance in Tennessee. Un...
This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using survey data collected in nine waves during 2020. Distributions of survey-weighted sociodemographic characteristics and respondent perceptio...
The study included a total of 9,754 survey respondents. Approximately equal percentages considered COVID-19 to have a greater economic (48.4%) versus health impact (51.6%). Just 40.1% of the responden...
These findings improve our understanding of the drivers of health behaviors, including vaccine hesitancy, and are useful for guiding public health outreach/education programs....
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is recommended to prevent the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although an effective treatment, the uptake in the United States remains low. Phar...
Given the nature of the co-occurring epidemics of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and fatal stimulant overdose, we sought to assess the prevalence of HCV among opioid and stimulant-positive overdoses....
We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the prevalence of HCV among fatal drug overdoses in Tennessee using 2019-2020 data from the State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System. We defin...
Between 2019 and 2020, 3570 unintentional or undetermined drug overdose deaths occurred in Tennessee with an available autopsy. History of HCV was found in 24.6% of deaths. When assessing different in...
This analysis while descriptive highlights the importance of linking datasets to enhance infectious disease and drug overdose surveillance. Partnership between communicable disease and drug overdose s...
Benzodiazepine-positive overdoses increased between 2019 and 2021 in Tennessee. We sought to determine the changes in the number and characteristics of prescription and illicit benzodiazepine-positive...
A statewide study was conducted to determine changes in the number and characteristics of benzodiazepine-positive drug overdose decedents using 2019-2021 data from the Tennessee State Unintentional Dr...
Between 2019 and 2021, 1666 benzodiazepine-positive unintentional or undetermined fatal drug overdoses out of 5916 total overdoses that occurred among adult Tennessee residents with available toxicolo...
This analysis can inform local and regional public health workers to implement focused prevention and intervention efforts for people with co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use disor...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection during pregnancy increases the risk of severe illness and death. This study describes individual-level determinants of COVID-19 vaccination among pregnant...
Advertisements for the online Moms and Vaccines survey were placed in prenatal clinics in Knoxville, Tennessee. Determinants were compared between unvaccinated individuals and those partially or fully...
Wave 1 of the Moms and Vaccines study included 99 pregnant people: 21 (21.2%) were unvaccinated and 78 (78.8%) were partially or fully vaccinated. Compared with the unvaccinated individuals, the parti...
Strategies to counter misinformation are of the utmost importance, particularly pregnancy- and reproductive health-related misinformation, because of the increased risk of severe disease faced by unva...
