| Repurposing data from NIH's iCite to dynamically provide bibliometric-based decision support | Weill Cornell Medical College- Samuel J. Wood Library | Leaders at academic medical institutions regularly need bibliometric analyses to inform their decisions, but are often forced to settle for crude metrics such as journal impact factor or raw citation counts for individual articles. To meet this need, we will use publications authored by a given person, harvest relevant statistics from NIH's iCite service, and dynamically generate a sophisticated report for that person. The report will include a bibliometric summary of a person's scholarly output, listing that individual's most influential publications,… | |||

| . Promoting Flu Vaccines for LGBT Community Members in Pennsylvania | Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center | While existing health disparities make it critical for LGBTQ people to engage in preventive care such as flu vaccinations, barriers to care including past or anticipated discrimination reduce the rate at which many LGBTQ people consume healthcare. The 2020 Pennsylvania LGBTQ Health Needs Assessment demonstrated that less than half of LGBTQ Pennsylvanians receive an annual flu shot. Though LGBTQ people were at increased risk with regards to COVID-19, other indicators including the Pennsylvania LGBTQ COVID-19 Vaccine Survey showed that LGBTQ Pennsylvanians were often less likely to… | |||
| 'Stop the Bleed' Training for Rural Georgia Communities | Mercer University School of Medicine - Savannah Campus | Uncontrolled major bleeding is one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma care (Bedri et al., 2021). Studies have shown that hemorrhage-controlled training, such as the nationally recognized Stop the Bleed® campaign, can be vital for training laypersons in life-saving hemorrhage-control techniques (Pellegrino et al., 2020; Jones et al., 2020), especially in rural areas where the delay in receiving medical aid from medical personnel may take longer than in urban areas (Bedri et al., 2021; Jones et al., 2020). Public libraries, as free and accessible centers of community… |
