Population-based electronic surveillance tools offer a promising avenue for identifying risk factors associated with cervical cancer development way before it becomes an actual concern for a woman. The objective of this study is to understand and to support the app- based decision-making tool for identifying risk factors of cervical cancer for the women between 30-60 years of age. Method: The study will be conducted in the selected Sampoorna Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) clinics at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (UP). A rigorous review of database was conducted to summarize the evidence on infor-matics available for early identification of cervical cancer app. An app-based decision- making tool will be devel-oped to identify and detect the high- risk population developing cervical cancer. The app then will be shared with health workers at Sampoorna clinics and will be capacitated for using it to collect real time data. Conclusion: The utilization of a population-based electronic surveillance tool will facilitate the identification of various risk factors contributing to cervical cancer development. The methodology process will help to compre-hend the analysis providing the insights. This approach has the potential to enhance targeted interventions, public health policies, and personalized screening programs to mitigate the burden of cervical cancer. The objective of this paper is to understand and to support the design of dashboards for creating transparency and accountability."

Thus, the present study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of LBP and the factors associated with it. The study included 237 bus conductors from government bus depots. The data regarding occupational, non-occupational and environmental factors were collected by interview technique using a structured questionnaire. Self-reported back pain in the last 12 months in or near the lumbosacral spine was considered a case of LBP. The study revealed that 27.4% had LBP. The multivariate analysis suggested that tobacco smoking, self-reported bad road conditions and lack of enough breaks during work were significant risk factors. Thus, to conclude, the conductors are at risk of LBP that can be attributed to occupational as well as non-occupational factors.

Students at this age face unavoidable stress. The speed and magnitude of these changes overload the capacity of many young people to cope. To assess the stress level among students in Morena district due to various factors influencing stress. The cross sectional survey was carried out among 9th and 10th grade students of both government and private school. A validated K10 scale was used to assess the stress as well as coping. Students out of 228 likely to have severe mental disorder are 15(6.6%). Student found likely to have severe mental disorder has complained of being depressed with lower marks (8.15%), parent and teachers compared with others were complained (11.11%), high expectations of parents (15.56%) and been betrayed by friends (17.86%).

Digital health interventions are gradually being integrated into TB care and are tested and evaluated in trials focused specifically on TB and very few on LTBI care. This review outlines the globally published literature on digital health interventions implemented to address LTBI and to describe various components of digital health interventions. Methods Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review methodological framework will be followed to conduct this review. Searches will be conducted in five databases and hand search of references studies included. Two independent reviewers will be conducting title and abstract screening followed by full-text screening, data extraction, and quality appraisal. Results w...

The exponential spread of the infection has become a matter of concern. The study aims to determine how well people in India know about COVID-19 outbreak and actions taken to cope up during lockdown.Design/methodology/approachA total of 5,000 randomly selected participants were sent the survey link, of which 1,526 responded (response rate of 30.5%). The survey was conducted from March 28 till March 31, 2020. The 20-item questionnaire aimed to determine how well people know about COVID-19 outbreak as well as actions taken to cope up during the lockdown. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the findings.FindingsParticipants exhibited good knowledge about the primary and secondary symptoms of COVID-19 and infection spread. Over 95% participants knew preventive measures such as use of masks, sanitizers and hand wash. And, 80% of the participants felt that steps taken by the go...
