Global burden of 369 diseases and injuries in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

INTRODUCTION
Engaging youth as peer educators has yet to be considered to promote literacy concerning conjoint genetic and environmental (G x E) influences on health conditions. Whether youth living in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) could and would be willing to serve as lay educators of G x E education is unclear.


METHODS
A cross-sectional survey of youth living in Southern Ethiopia was conducted from August to September 2017. Trained data collectors administered the survey on 377 randomly selected youth who ranged in age from 15-24; 52% were female and 95% reported having some formal education. Self-reported willingness and a constructed competency score were assessed. Bivariate analyses tested for factors associated with willingness and competency to serve as lay GxE literacy builders.


RESULTS
Competency and willingness were significantly greater (p<0.05) for youth who: were male, had some formal education, and had civic or leadership experience. Differences in median willingness were significant for youth who scored as more competent versus those who scored as less competent (p<0.001). There were no characteristics that moderated the association of competency with willingness.


CONCLUSION
Youth peer educator programs hold promise for disseminating improved G x E literacy and reducing stigma associated with deterministic misunderstandings. Thoughtful recruitment and training strategies will be needed to ensure that the broadest representation of youth in LMIC contexts have the opportunity to serve in this role, particularly girls and those without formal education.

Acetaminophen and Asthma: Spurious Association?

In the mid-1990s, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced an algorithm to assist health professionals with limited training in the prevention and management of common childhood illnesses. The Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) algorithm has subsequently been evaluated in a range of countries and reports have been published from Uganda1,2, Bangladeshi, Kenya ', The Gambia\", Ethiopiaand India\", Early evaluation helped shape adaptations of the original algorithm to specific country circumstances, in particular, resource limitations and malaria endemicity.
