We conducted a cross-sectional, random-digit-dial survey to evaluate public responses to a hypothetical question: "If someone you knew was suicidal, what would you do first?" Younger people were more likely to call a suicide hotline, and less likely to go to an emergency room (ER) or call 911; immigrants (in the U.S. < 15 years) were more likely to call 911, and less likely to call a suicide ho...

This study is the development of a usability test plan for implementation of an Enhanced 911 Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system by emergency response dispatch centers. Enhanced 911 system technologies will allow emergency response personnel to locate cellular 911 callers in distress by pinpointing the latitude and longitude of their location, and mapping it through the use of a Geographic Inf...

BACKGROUND Drinking water contamination, with the capability to affect large populations, poses a significant risk to public health. In recent water contamination events, the impact of contamination on public health appeared in data streams monitoring health-seeking behavior. While public health surveillance has traditionally focused on the detection of pathogens, developing methods for detecti...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Activating emergency medical services (EMS) is the most important factor in reducing delay times to hospital arrival for stroke patients. Determining who calls 911 for stroke would allow more efficient targeting of public health initiatives. METHODS The T.L.L. Temple Foundation Stroke Project is an acute stroke surveillance and intervention project in nonurban East Texa...

INTRODUCTION This study examines barriers and disparities in the intentions of American citizens, when dealing with stroke symptoms, to call 911. This study hypothesizes that low socioeconomic populations are less likely to call 911 in response to stroke recognition. METHODS The study is a cross-sectional design analyzing data from the Centers for Disease Control's 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor...

Purpose: To assess the quality of vision in pseudophakic patients with a prolate aspherical intraocular lens (IOL) compared to patients with a spherical IOL. Patients and methods: Twenty patients undergoing cataract surgery were divided into two groups according to the type of IOL: ten prolate aspherical IOLs (TECNIS Z9000, AMO, USA) and ten spherical IOLs (911 CeeOn Edge, AMO, USA). The integr...
