Subject: New Releases on H1N1 influenza and pregnancy

Dear Colleague:

Today the editors of the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH)

announced the early release of several scientific articles related

to H1N1 influenza. Among the articles is “Pandemic

Influenza and Pregnant Women: Summary of a Meeting of Experts. " This meeting

was convened by CDC in collaboration with the Association

of Maternal and Child Health Programs and March of Dimes. The

article is free and available on the AJPH website (www.ajph.org).

Other articles under this early release include:

“Protecting Home Health Care Workers: A Challenge to

Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Planning” summarizes findings which

highlight the need to integrate home health care employers, workers, community

advocates and labor unions into the pandemic planning process.

“Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Vulnerable Populations in Tribal

Communities” outlines potential issues to consider in identifying and providing

appropriate services for vulnerable populations in tribal communities and

highlights available preparedness resources.

“Pandemic Influenza Preparedness and Response Among Immigrants and

Refugees” offers advice from experts and service providers to help

immigrants and refugees overcome limited resources, inaccessible health

services, language barriers, cross-cultural misunderstandings and inexperience

in adhering to public health guidelines during an influenza pandemic.
