ABSTRACT

In 2019, the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health (WV BPH), Cabell-Huntington Health Department (CHHD), and CDC collaborated to respond to an HIV outbreak among people who inject drugs (PWID). CDC, WV BPH, and CHHD formed a cross-agency communications team to establish situational awareness, identify knowledge gaps, and establish key audiences for messages, including the general population, PWID, and clinical and social service providers. The team disseminated up-to-date information about the outbreak, and prioritized messages addressing stigma related to drug use, syringe services programs, and HIV. Messages were continually updated to address the evolving situation and to resonate with local values. Messages were disseminated via advertisements, local news media, and directly to PWID, people experiencing homelessness, and providers. The response supplemented CHHD's assets, including strong relationships and community knowledge, with staff capacity and expertise from state and federal agencies. This collaborative approach is a useful model to address communication needs.

ABSTRACT

Latex allergy is an immune system illness affecting an increasing number of individuals. People with latex allergy often experience anxiety and fear about real and potential exposure to products containing natural rubber latex. Nurses working in acute care and general medical-surgical areas are more likely to be aware of this emerging illness than nurses working on a psychiatric unit. The nature of latex allergy and the immune system response are described in this article. People with latex allergy may react when they are exposed to latex allergens or specific foods. This article identifies nursing interventions and describes those appropriate for people with anxiety or fear responses. Patients with latex allergy can be managed when nursing staff understand both the medical and psychiatric aspects of care.
