Sexual Health is Just Health: Findings from a CDC National STD Prevention Tra...YTH
Think about the last time you thought you had an STD. How did you feel? Who did you tell? What did you do? Awkward, right? Maybe this hasn't happened to you personally, but each year over 20 million Americans contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Over 50% are youth and most go undetected and untreated. Just Health is a risk screen app being used in over 100 School-Based Health Centers and is the flagship tool of a National CDC Center for Technology Innovation that is focused on adolescent sexual health. Just Health works to improve patient-provider communication and reduce stigma around a range of topics from safety, substance use, mental health, and sexual health including the intersectionality of needs and gender identity and sexual orientation. Just Health is an example of ongoing evaluation in real-word conditions. Population-level data are improving understanding of these needs and risks from a system perspective.
Utilizing HIV at-home testing and Telehealth TechonologyYTH
Through the use of telehealth technology, at-home HIV testing is brought to research participants in the comfort of their own home. This presentation explains the significance and impact of two active research studies of using telehealth for remote counseling sessions and at-home HIV testing from the University of Michigan.
Zines as a Means: Using Alternative Publishing as a Health Resource and Empow...YTH
Zines (mini, independently created magazines) have been used throughout history as a tool to explore social and political issues. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the history of zines. After a short presentation of the presenter's use of zines with Planned Parenthood's PG-13 Players, Vanderbilt LGBTQI Life, Students of Stonewall LGBTQI youth activism team, and Advocates for Youth, we will brainstorm together ways in which zines can be used in organizing and similar work, identify at least one practical way each of us can use zines in our life and work, and learn how to create a zine out of a single sheet of paper. Online resources and tools that can be used to amplify resources will be presented. Examples of zines in youth, health, and technology fields will be provided.
As we release products and services into the world they have the potential to reshape and transform. Good, bad, or both this impact is something that we need to understand. It is no longer good enough to have a good idea. How does thinking about our work in context of the interwoven communities it impacts affect the way we approach the design process, and how does it shape the way we evaluate success?
In the Know: Comprehensive sexual health education with wraparound digital te...YTH
DIY is an innovative intervention based on positive youth development and youth-centered design. This presentation will describe how to involve youth in the program design, share strategies on how to engage vulnerable populations, and highlight preliminary findings.
Telemedicine is a collection of means or methods for enhancing health care, public health and health education delivery and support using telecommunications technologies. With more than 95% of adults, and 100% of young adults between the age of 18-29 owning a cell phone in the United States, a technology-based health intervention can be available to hard-to-reach populations or underserved areas.
Panelists will engage a rich dialogue and showcase innovative and effective ways to create prevention programs for HIV and STDs using the potential telehealth can offer, specifically with linking young people to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. This plenary brings together leaders in the field of HIV prevention, research and policy along with private organizations and companies that are currently active on the field of biomedical prevention.
Positive Connections: Digital Support for Adolescents Living with HIVYTH
Adolescents living with HIV need accurate information about their diagnosis, care, and treatment; as well as long-term counseling and support. In-person support groups are a promising approach to meeting these needs, however some ALHIV face distinct challenges to attending regular in-person meetings. Virtual support groups may help to overcome challenges such as transportation costs, living away from home because of school or work, fear of stigma, or perceived danger associated with disclosure to household members. In this session attendees will learn how FHI 360, on behalf of YouthPower Action, is currently adapting the evidence based “Positive Connections: Leading Information and Support Groups for Adolescents Living with HIV, for delivery via Facebook.
Youth health integrating mHealth is an amazing approach for youth who are interested in working in mhealth program, it gives youth a chance to promote and improve their skills, networking and access to information on health and related issues through mobile phone which provides reliable, safe and confidential information

"It's Just a Preference": Dating Apps, Discrimination, and LGBTQ HealthYTH
It seems like there's a mobile app for just about everything nowadays even ones that can help you find that special someone. Although dating apps are great for finding new partners, they can also provide a platform for discriminatory language and behaviors, which can eventually lead to negative health outcomes. In this presentation, I'm going to combine data from qualitative interviews with gay men and actual language used on dating app profiles to shed light on how discrimination on these dating apps translates to negative health outcomes. Many LGBTQ folks rely on various technologies to connect with one another including LGBTQ youth but then face discrimination from those within their own community. Join me as I try to brainstorm solutions and reimagine the future of inclusive dating apps.
Youth-serving providers don't need another message board: digital alternative...YTH
Youth-serving providers have a wealth of knowledge about what works in youth HIV prevention and treatment in a real world context. Digital storytelling is an effective way to foster peer-to-peer sharing between youth-serving providers throughout the United States. Come learn about two models of digital peer-to-peer sharing and discuss ways to incorporate digital peer-to-peer sharing in your work with youth.
Inst them and they will come...or will they?: The secrets of recruiting youth...YTH
Are your social media ads flopping? Still using a flyer to recruit youth for research studies? Learn the to-do's and to-don'ts of using social media to recruit youth for research studies and programs. We recruited over 2,500 young women into two national randomized controlled trials to test two sexual health digital tools. We will show you our process for selecting the appropriate social media format to reach youth, developing relevant materials that makes youth click, and monitoring the campaigns to assess their effectiveness. We will share examples of our own materials, graphics, messages, recruitment videos, and tag lines used to entice youth. See how some flopped and how others exceeded our expectations. We will also present concrete data on recruitment cost, relevance, clicks, and reach, and how to tweak your campaigns to stay within budget and be more effective.
Parents for Prevention: Raising a sexually healthy generationYTH
Do you work with parents and caregivers of young people from birth to high school and beyond? Are you interested in helping them discover how to raise the generation that will help get us closer to ending sexual violence for good? Come join us as we talk about Parents for Prevention, an online space and accompanying mentoring curriculum, and learn how we took the project from initial idea, through focus group testing, to website creation, and recruiting and training parent partners. We will share our successes and spectacular failures, where we're heading next, and how you can use this tool in your own communities.
Stick To It: Pilot study results of an intervention using gamification to inc...YTH
Can games improve the delivery of health services? We think so that's why our team has set out to explore whether gamification, the use of game elements in non-game contexts, can enhance services to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. We hypothesize that the foundational elements of games competition, collaboration, skill acquisition, and fun can motivate young men to engage in positive health behaviors to protect themselves and their communities. We are a team of epidemiologists, economists, clinicians, and game experts working together to understand whether games can be useful additions to the clinical setting.
Smart Connect: Bringing Contraceptive Services Closer to Adolescent Girls thr...YTH
A360 revolutionizes the way adolescent girls access contraceptives by flipping the model and starting with what matters to her. In Tanzania, A360 has co-designed with girls a program called Kuwa Mjanja, where girls can "be smart" (Swahili translation) and learn about themselves both their bodies and their dreams. Kuwa Mjanja inspires and opens possibilities, empowering girls to take action by considering contraception as "the first step to taking control of your future now." Connecting with Sara (CwS) is a DHIS2-powered, open-source platform to track, link, and engage with Sara (our client) through use of mobile phones to facilitate engagement with community mobilizers, service providers, and follow-up efforts. CwS enables a new way to engage with and bring service delivery closer to Sara. The platform powers program teams to engage more dynamically with Sara and to actively use data to inform pathways to method adoption.

Over the course of the past four years, the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) repeatedly adapted the OppiaMobile platform an open-source, Android-based application for use in diverse country contexts. Each subsequent OppiaMobile app is developed as part of an evolving global system that supports thoughtful creation, curation, packaging and distribution of health-related content for health workers. With each subsequent adaptation of the OppiaMobile platform, CCP expands its ability to design and develop, sustainable context-specific job aids and BCC tools for frontline health workers and their clients.
Learning from real people through conversations at scaleYTH
During this presentation we will join in live conversation with 18-24 year olds in Kenya using mSurvey. We will develop a mobile conversation to answer any burning questions from the audience while also demonstrating best practices for mobile (e.g, concise content limited to 10 questions and 160 characters per question). Conversational responses from actual Kenyans will be viewed in real time allowing for a dynamic and iterative conversation about the most pressing issues impacting Kenyan youth today. Following the live conversation, we'll engage in a guided discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of mobile as a channel for connecting with global youth such as costs, ethical considerations, and content limitations.
Project PARTNER (Partnering with Adolescents to Ready The Newest Engaged Rese...YTH
The intersection of community engagement, research, and interactive technology is an innovative way for youth to develop leadership and 21st century skills. The California Adolescent Health Collaborative and community health clinic partners, Livingston Community Health and Asian Health Services, developed Project PARTNER, where youth in rural and urban communities learn critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative processes through researching community health issues. \n\nYouth and adult allies from the health clinics were recruited to be members of a cross-generational and cross-regional community advisory board and were trained in research methodology. The online educational technology platform Kahoot!, and the mobile app Kahoot!, were utilized in training members on research fundamentals. The advisory boards then developed community surveys through Google Forms and utilized its mobile app feature to canvas neighborhoods to obtain community data. With data collected, they will develop research questions and participate in collaborative cross-site activities to support their research.
Alcohol use, gender based violence and HIV risk among female sex workers in T...YTH
Female sex workers (FSWs) are disproportionately affected by HIV and gender-based violence (GBV). Substance use has been shown to overlap with these co-occurring epidemics to further increase FSWs' risk for negative health outcomes. However, limited research has explored how aspects of the sex work environment shapes this risk. In this session, we will discuss findings from a mixed methods study that examined how aspects of the sex work environment facilitate alcohol use and increase FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV. We will then discuss the implications these results have for future interventions, with a special focus on the role technology can play in addressing aspects of the sex work environment to limit alcohol use and reduce FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.

Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The opportunity.
When period tracking apps began to enter the mainstream, there was a
natural intersection with our mission and history. We wanted to combine
users’ desire to understand their bodies with the ability choose and track
their birth control, and receive accessible educational info along the way.

Editor's Notes
JF TO DO INTRO
As you know, this is an organization that’s been around for a long time.
But this new invention is totally changing the game.
Technology has always held opportunities, but when you look at the fact that between 3.5 and 4.5 billion people have mobile phones (out of 7.12bn), the rest are about to get them in the next few years, and all of those mobile phones are about to become smart phones, this is really the closest humanity has ever come to having a “universal technology.” It drastically outpaces the camera, television, or PC in that regard.
We’ve been doing this work with people in person for almost a century, but just imagine the kind of scale that the phone can potentially open up for our work.
Two thirds of those people are coming to us from a mobile device
As a refresher, let’s talk about why we decided to make a period tracker.
We’ve heard every question in the book when it comes to periods, birth control, and reproductive health. There’s a huge opportunity for us to extend the non-judgmental, reliable, trustworthy care we provide in our health centers and bring that to women’s pockets with something that’s completely specific to their needs, and complements the services we provide in our health centers.
Spot On is the only tracker on the market that supports all methods of birth control that affect your menstrual cycle (pill, patch, shot, ring, IUD, implant), and helps women both manage their birth control, and understand how it affects their bodies and periods. Spot On is geared toward 18-22 year olds, as we know this is the average age of first intercourse, and when users may begin trying to find the method of birth control that’s right for them.
JJ TO DO SPOT ON FUNCTIONALITY (ETC)
Spot On helps to simplify and streamline your cycle. It gives you birth control reminders, tracks your symptoms, and also delivers fun facts and key advice to keep you in control.
Users entering Spot On for the first time get a quick walk through of all the key features in the Introduction to the app. As part of Onboarding, they will then be able to select and track any birth control method that affects their cycle, including the pill, patch, ring, shot, IUD, or implant. They can also learn more about other methods once they’re in the app through Resources. In the Day View, birth control and cycle tracking is simplified with personalized reminders and fun facts, and users can navigate through their cycle using the Cycle Ribbon at the top of the screen.
JF TO DO SPOT ON RESULTS
Press coverage at launch
Also raises up the period — keeps it light and funny, but breaks down stigma, which was something that really resonated with the potential users we spoke to.
With no paid marketing to date (that kicks off next week), we’ve already seen more than 18K downloads
We’ll begin paid marketing next week on both Facebook and Instagram, and have recently been asked by Apple for artwork to be featured in the App Store, which is generally thought to be a better boost than any money or marketing efforts can buy.
Interestingly, we currently have an almost unheard-of high rate of conversion from app-store visit to download (77%), which suggests that bringing more people to the app store page will be a huge boon.
.59 sessions per active user per day; which means that most people who use the app are using it at least every couple days. What we learned in our beta testing was that the more people used the app, the more they liked it; so one of the first things we’re digging into in our next updates is additional reminders and notifications to increase user engagement.
Perhaps most excitingly, we’re seeing that people who download the app are actually using it; our goal is to have 20% monthly active users after 6 months on the market; currently, we have almost 50% of users remaining active.
JJ TO DO BIRDIE & APP LEARNINGS So, based on everything we learned from research and directly from parents, we came up with Birdie. It’s a friendly, accessible parent coach. And then we did some more testing.
Note that there are 46% no method (compared to 50%), 11% IUD (compared to 7%), and 8% Implant (compared to 4%) in Android.
As you know, this is an organization that’s been around for a long time.
Spot On – tracking your period on a calendar, wondering when it’s going to come. Something you can react to. Setting reminders to use your birth control.
Birdie – Reframing “the talk” as having an ongoing convo w/ your kids around sexual and reproductive health – you have to be sold on the behavior AND the app
Spot On – Storing your personal period history, birth control method, and current status; getting smarter about your period and fertility predictions as you continue to use it, so the value builds.
Birdie – Storing static content; you can add notes, but then it just becomes a record, not something that directly and dynamically impacts what you’re given back.
Spot On – your period is literally a monthly reminder to use the thing (even if you’re not getting reminders for a renewable method).
Birdie – The trigger is likely to be a question from your kid, but the content isn’t quite dynamic enough to support that (not framed as the answer to specific questions, which may be too timely).
Spot On – gets smarter as you keep using it, and the more unique tracking data it holds, the more valuable it is; builds loyalty.
Birdie – The content doesn’t change as you use it, or with the news – that’s a tough thing to do in an app, so it’s not giving you more value as you use it; gives you back only exactly what you put in. Storage is not enough value.
