As part of the response to the Zika outbreak, CDC, in collaboration with state, local, tribal, and territorial health departments, established a pregnancy registry for comprehensive monitoring of pregnancy and infant outcomes following possible Zika virus infection. The registry is an active surveillance system of pregnant women with laboratory evidence of possible Zika virus infection in the 50 US states and DC, and in the US territories. On May 20, 2016, CDC released detailed information about the registry and will initiate weekly reporting of the number of pregnant women followed in the registry.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Worker Protection Standard (WPS) provides basic workplace protections to farmworkers and pesticide handlers to minimize the adverse effects of pesticide exposure. EPA announced major revisions to the WPS in September 2015. MCN and FJ's fact sheet provides a summary of the revised regulation.

Aedes species mosquitoes transmit chikungunya virus, as well as dengue and Zika viruses, and bite most often during the day.* Infectious mosquito bites frequently occur in and around homes (1,2). Caribbean countries first reported local transmission of chikungunya virus in December 2013, and soon after, chikungunya virus spread throughout the Americas (3). Puerto Rico reported its first laboratory-positive chikungunya case in May 2014 (4), and subsequently identified approximately 29,000 suspected cases throughout the island by the end of 2015 ...
In May 2015, Zika virus was reported to be circulating in Brazil. This was the first identified introduction of the virus in the Region of the Americas. Since that time, Zika virus has rapidly spread throughout the region. As of April 20, 2016, the Florida Department of Health Bureau of Public Health Laboratories (BPHL) has tested specimens from 913 persons who met state criteria for Zika virus testing. Among these 913 persons, 91 met confirmed or probable Zika virus disease case criteria and all cases were travel-associated (1).
Diagnostic testing for Zika virus infection can be accomplished using molecular and serologic methods. Real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) is the preferred test for Zika virus infection because it can be performed rapidly and is highly specific (1,2) ...

A primary goal of the Partnerships for Care (P4C) project is to provide innovative, cost-efficient, and culturally competent training and technical assistance (TTA) to the four health departments and 22 health centers serving high HIV prevalence areas funded under the project. To that end, the HIV Training, Technical Assistance, and Collaboration Center (HIV TAC) was funded to support the goals of the P4C project through planned collaboration with existing HIV-related TTA programs, across different levels of government and with nongovernment partners. The MayaTech Corporation operates the P4C HIV TAC.
Video interview with COPE Executive Director Mark Sullivan, MD, PhD.
About COPE: The University of Washington’s COPE for Chronic Pain CME Program offers evidence-based clinical knowledge and training on how best to treat patients experiencing chronic pain. COPE CME helps clinicians assess patients and monitor their progress, mitigate risk, and focus on restoring function and quality of life. It provides guidance on when and how to start, stop, or modify opioid therapies. COPE’s online course includes case-based video vignettes that model interactions between providers and patients, helping to improve communications that promote trust. Live and web-based CME is available.
Only 25% of physicians feel very confident in managing patients on opioids.
When many of today's physicians were in medical school, they learned that opioids were safe, and no dose seemed too high. Now, evidence-based practice paints a far more nuanced picture. More than 200 million prescriptions a year have contributed to widespread problems:
- 33% of young adults say that prescription opioids are "easy to get," with many taking their friends' or parents' pills.
- Nearly 20% of U.S. veterans with PTSD are receiving higher-dose or multiple opioids, or early refills.
- Increased prescribing to women of childbearing age has contributed to a 4-fold increase in neonatal abstinence syndrome
COPE offers free CME on safe opioid prescribing:
- COPE-REMS: an online, self-paced tutorial that awards up to 4 CME credits
- UW TelePain: Providers can call in to UW Medicine and present their most difficult chronic pain cases to a multidisciplinary panel of pain medicine experts for discussion and advice. Tune in to live, lunchtime, 1-hour sessions most Wednesdays at 12 PM to earn up to 1.5 CME credits per session.
Other resources from COPE include:
- 7 Things You Should Know about PTSD and Use of Opioid Pain Medications
- Women, Pregnancy & Prescription Opioids
- COPE-REMS has posted new content on prescribing opioids for chronic pain related to the 2015 Washington State Interagency Guideline on Prescribing Opioids for Pain. The 2015 guideline provides valuable insights for clinicians nationwide and for the federal government, which is now developing a national guideline. COPE interviewed Dr. David Tauben, Chief of the University of Washington Division of Pain Medicine.

MCN’s Environmental and Occupational Health Programs
Learn more about MCN’s training and technical assistance programs to help clinicians and health centers improve the recognition and management of pesticide exposures and other environmental/occupational health conditions.
Migrant workers are often employed in some of the most dangerous jobs in the United States. Lack of training, poor safety precautions, regulatory exclusions, lack of health insurance, language barriers, piece-rate pay, undocumented worker status, and geographical and cultural isolation can put these workers at increased risk for occupationally related injuries and illnesses and chronic sequelae.
This webinar will discuss health risks facing migrants as a result of their working conditions and highlight best practices and resources to incorporate environmental and work-related health into the primary care setting. It will aslo showcase successful initiatives employed in Community and Migrant Health Centers. Participants will become familiar with the importance of and feasible approaches to integrate environmental and occupational health into primary care from both a clinical and social justice perspective.
SPONSORED BY: Migrant Clinicians Network
OBJECTIVES: Participants will be able to:
- Understand the reasons for integratin environmental and occupational health into primary care
- Recognize the role of the clinician in work-related exposure
- Be familiar with tools and resources to address occupational injuries and exposures in primary care
