A study by @ShelleyFacente et al. found that current funding levels for syringe services programs (SSPs) in the United States do not meet the minimum budgets recommended by the CDC. Increased funding would help SSPs meet community health needs.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

@JenniferR_Head @UMich @UCBerkeleySPH @umichsph Amazing!! Congrats Jennifer!! Well deserved.

An excellent case study of why everyone should exercise caution when passing along widely-reported “findings” from review studies. It’s always worth looking a little more closely, even if you don’t consider yourself a researcher!

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

A recent study went viral for purportedly showing that exercise is more effective than antidepressants for depression

Except, the study didn't look at that question at all

I can't take credit for the brilliant work done through the California Harm Reduction Initiative, but I'm thrilled I could help write up the findings of this evaluation, and help get the word out about how much this initiative mattered. #FundHarmReduction

Will we ever pushback on working while you have COVID? Can people just get rest and recover?
Wishing paid sick leave for all. And if we are going with repeat COVID infections as the norm, then we need to fight for unlimited sick leave for all.

The Canadian leg of my recent flight required passengers to wear masks and they did. The US leg of the same trip (with many of the same ppl) did not require it and most didn’t. Reject the notion that public health must bend to what people will do anyway. It can lead.
