TL;DR: A comprehensive picture of the pre-vaccine epidemiology of the varicella zoster virus (VZV) is provided to aid in the design of immunization programs and to adequately measure the impact of vaccination.

TL;DR: The need for robust research is drawn to establish whether the high and rising rates of agency contacts and out-of-home care in some settings are effectively reducing child maltreatment, apart from high rates of violent child death in the USA.

TL;DR: Linked administrative databases offer a powerful resource for studying important public health issues, including the capacity to study low-prevalence exposure-disease associations, multiple outcome domains within the same cohort of individuals, service utilization and chronic disease patterns, and life course and transgenerational transmission of health.

TL;DR: Youth with type 2 diabetes exhibit complications sooner than youth with type 1 diabetes, younger age at diagnosis is potentially protective, and glycemic control is an important modifiable risk factor.

TL;DR: A scoping review of 42 studies of neighborhood effects on developmental health for children ages 0–6, published between 2009 and 2014, examines evidence on mediation and/or moderation effects and proposes recommendations for analyses that utilize ecological longitudinal population‐based databases.
