Neat new study creating a much-needed measure of readiness to use digital health, amongst a diverse sample. It identified 2 factors: technical readiness, and beliefs/concerns about quality of care. I’m excited to use this in my own research going forward. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... 🩺🧪📈📉
This qualitative study develops and performs preliminary validity analysis of a tool to measure patients’ digital health readiness.
Academics! Where do you prefer or hope to publish? Have a few minute to tell us? My group at CU Boulder is surveying the publication preferences of academics in a pairwise comparison survey called Publish or Comparish. → tinyurl.com/PubPrefs Thanks for considering & pls share with colleagues!
Very cool! I hadn't heard of JOT before. Thank you for sharing this.
prefers to publish in impactful journals where my research is likely to be accepted for publication and where it is likely to be noticed by receptive readers, which I assess using JOT as soon one my manuscript abstract and references are finalized. jot.publichealth.yale.edu/search
Worrying stats on how few Americans plan to take the winter vaccines for flu, RSV, covid. More must be done to explain why these shots are important and tackle mis/disinformation. 🧪
Study also found that 37% who have gotten vaccines in the past do not plan on getting them this year
How to increase vaccination rates: 1. On a systems level - make vaccines easy & free 2. As a clinician - talk to patients about why these vaccines matter 3. As an individual - share when you get your shots (normalize it), & share trusted info (⬇️ long covid, autoimmune dx, hospitalization, etc!) 🩺🧪

Let’s show the Dean of the Yale School of Public Health a warm welcome (back!) 👏🏽 #PublicHealth#MedSky#EpiSky#WomenInSTEM#HiSciSky 🧪
I’m an emergency physician & dean of @yalesph.bsky.social#gunviolence prevention * higher ed * RI & CT * humanity 💕
Likwise @meganranney.bsky.social! Bluesky is my favorite, a strong presence of academics, easy to build up an initial following, and the evolutionary biology community is all here. Public health is... getting there. YSPH and Yale is not well represented here (that I know of). Let's change that!
