The trends in vaccine confidence and resistance have implications for updating the social amplification of risk framework (SARF); in turn, SARF has practical implications for guiding efforts to alleviate vaccine hesitancy and to mitigate harms from intentional and unintentional vaccine scares.

Research Article
We aimed to estimate the health outcomes and net cost of implementing postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against household exposure to COVID-19.

Research Article
In this study, we aimed to provide a novel approach to estimating past SARS-CoV-2 infections, combining data from reported cases, reported deaths, excess deaths attributable to COVID-19, hospitalizations, and seroprevalence surveys

Mortality statistics are fundamental to public health decision making. Mortality varies by time and location, and its measurement is affected by well known biases that have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to estimate excess mortality from the COVID-19 pandemic in 191 countries and territories, and 252 subnational units for selected countries, from Jan 1, 2020, to Dec 31, 2021.

Research Article
Gender is emerging as a significant factor in the social, economic, and health effects of COVID-19; yet most existing studies have focused on its direct impact on health. Here we explore the indirect effects of COVID-19 on gender disparities globally.

Research Article
The infection–fatality ratio (IFR) is a metric that quantifies the likelihood of an individual dying once infected with a pathogen. Understanding the determinants of IFR variation for COVID-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has direct implications for mitigation efforts with respect to clinical practice, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and the prioritisation of risk groups for targeted vaccine delivery.

Research Article
We sought to understand the conditions associated with cross-country variation in COVID-19 infection and fatality rates, in order to guide investment in more effective preparedness and response for future pandemics.

Research Article
In this study, we sought to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence and burden of depressive and anxiety disorders globally in 2020.

Research Article
The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission substantially affected health services worldwide. To better understand the impact of the pandemic on childhood routine immunisation, we estimated disruptions in vaccine coverage associated with the pandemic in 2020, globally and by Global Burden of Disease (GBD) super-region.

Research Article
With an excess of COVID-19 vaccines in high-income settings, leaders of those countries should act on their promises to send surplus doses to countries where vaccines remain scarce.

Research Article
This study utilizes the most recent data available to provide an updated comparison of available data sources on government spending on immunization.

Research Article
We analyzed California’s racial/ethnic disparities in COVID-19 exposure risks, testing rates, test positivity, and case rates through October 2020.

Research Article
This analysis introduces a publicly available evaluation framework for assessing the predictive validity of COVID-19 mortality forecasts.
May 3, 2021
Research Article
We study the factors associated with observed trends in the in-hospital mortality rates in the United States during the first 9 months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
February 17, 2021
Research Article
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruptions to education in the United States, with a large proportion of schooling moving to online formats, which has the potential to exacerbate existing racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in learning.
October 23, 2020
Research Article
We use COVID-19 case and mortality data from 1 February 2020 to 21 September 2020 and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections and the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions in the United States at the state level from 22 September 2020 through 28 February 2021.
September 10, 2020
Research Article
In this study, vaccine confidence was mapped across 149 countries between 2015 and 2019.

Research Article
In this Comment, we use the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to explore some of the ways in which digital public health can transform the public health response. Through this exploration, we hope to highlight the broader potential for digital public health in making public health prevention, surveillance, and responses more effective across a wide range of challenges.

Research Article
We provide a publicly available dataset and evaluation framework for assessing the predictive validity of COVID-19 mortality forecasts.

Low-income countries have reduced health care system capacity and are therefore at risk of substantially higher COVID-19 case fatality rates than those currently seen in high-income countries. Handwashing is a key component of guidance to reduce transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic.
