Exploring Risk Factors with Crash Severity on China Two-Lane Rural Roads Using a Random-Parameter Ordered Probit Model by Shikun Xie, Xiaofeng Ji, Wenchen Yang, Rui Fang, Jingjing Hao

“…Understanding the factors that contribute to traffic crashes can help provide a fundamental basis to plan and develop appropriate countermeasures for road safety issues emerging in particular on two-lane rural roads. However, most of the studies have focused on urban roadways and freeway systems, and few studies have investigated the issue of heterogeneity on two-lane rural roads. …”

Homosexual identity and network overlap predictors of HIV infection among older men from rural China: a case–control study by Yuan Li, Jia He, Yi Yang, Shuangfeng Fan, Jing Xi, ShiJiao He

“…Background The number of newly reported older (≥50 years old) people living with HIV/AIDS in China has been steadily increasing, and heterosexual transmission has been identified as the major route.Methods In this study, based on biopsychosocial model, a case–control study (74 cases vs 296 controls) was applied to find out predictors (21 potential ones) of HIV infection among older men from rural China. Binary logistic regression with backward selection was applied.Results Out of 21 potential predictors of HIV infection, 4 were confirmed: receiving HIV-related health education (HRHE) (OR 0.449, 95% CI 0.238 to 0.848), self-reported homosexual identity (16.517 (95% CI 1.073 to 254.182)), visiting female sex workers (FSW) (58.427 (95% CI 7.895 to 432.403)), complete non-overlap of intimate social network and sexual network (2.912 (95% CI 1.372 to 6.177)), partial overlap (3.334 (95% CI 1.536 to 7.236)).Discussion Findings from this study suggest current comprehensive prevention and control services need to be strengthened to provide effective HRHE including condom use to older men and help them to improve condom use, especially during visiting FSW and among self-reported homosexual older men. …”
