HIV incidence has decreased in England by over a third since 2019. Despite the early success of HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in reducing HIV transmission in the United Kingdom, many people who could benefit from HIV PrEP do not yet know about it, or know how to access it. ⋯ Our evaluation demonstrates that peer-to-peer diffusion models used to increase awareness of HIV PrEP in key unreached groups, offer an acceptable public health intervention model for volunteers and project staff.

This study aimed to develop and validate a knowledge, attitude, and practice scale of antibiotic use for Chinese medical students. ⋯ The scale can be used as a whole or separately, serving as an effective tool to measure medical students' knowledge, attitude, or practice regarding antibiotic use.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of the joints. Risk factors for OA include non-modifiable factors such as age and sex, as well as modifiable factors like physical activity. ⋯ The performance of the model for predicting OA was relatively good. If this model is continuously used and updated, it could be used to predict OA diagnosis, and the predictive performance of the OA model may be further improved.

Previous research has demonstrated the applicability of Google Trends in predicting infectious diseases. ⋯ Our study highlights the potential application value of Google Trends and large pre-trained models for infectious disease prediction.

Nurses often administer intramuscular (IM) injections. However, they do not use the ventrogluteal (VG) site, although it is highly recommended. ⋯ The results showed that the intervention helped participants learn more about IM injections into the VG site. Therefore, hospitals should provide nurses with mobile-assisted training and counseling programs to encourage them to use the VG site to administer IM injections.
