RESUMO
BACKGROUND: China is the first country to initiate a nationwide program for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, syphilis and hepatitis B virus by an integrated approach. However, the progress of this program remains unreported at national or local level for China. Therefore, we performed a hospital-based longitudinal study to assess the integrated prevention effect in Hunan, South-central China. METHODS: This study was conducted at 123 counties in Hunan and covered all local hospitals providing midwifery and antenatal care services from 2010 to 2016. We used the Cochran-Armitage test to examine the temporal changes of the indicators related with prevention of mother-to-child transmission. Besides, we used Spearman rank correlation analysis to assess the association between mother-to-child transmission rates and the process indicators related with prevention of mother-to-child transmission. RESULTS: After implementation of integrated prevention program, the indicators related with prevention of mother-to-child transmission are moving in the right direction. From 2010 to 2016, mother-to-child transmission rates significantly decreased from 19.4% to 9.6% for human immunodeficiency virus, and from 116.3 to 13.6 cases per 100,000 live births for syphilis. The proportion of children receiving hepatitis B immunoglobulin injection within 24h after birth increased from 95.2% to 98.9% among exposed neonates. Mother-to-child transmission rates were negatively associated with the process indicators related with prevention of mother-to-child transmission (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our prevention program of mother-to-child transmission for three diseases by an integrated approach proved to be viable and effective. Our model may be of interest to other countries.

OBJECTIVE: To provide evidence for setting up violence intervention programs in rural middle schools, through studying the influential factors. METHODS: Taking variables including emotional, physical and sexual violence in the past year as the multi-dependent variables before multivariate multilevel model logistic regression model was adopted to analyze the correlations among the three kinds of violence and the influential factors. RESULTS: Among 3620 respondents, the incidence rates of emotional, physical and sexual violence weres 21.5%, 24.3% and 2.0% respectively. The correlation coefficients between emotional violence vs. physical violence, emotional violence vs. sexual violence, physical violence vs. sexual violence were 0.337, 0.133, 0.131 respectively when the random effect of class difference was separated by multivariate multilevel model. There was an internal aggregation of the incidence rate on physical violence in different grades (chi2=4.286, P = 0.038) and an internal relevant between emotional violence vs. sexual violence (chi2 = 4.239, P = 0.039), physical violence vs. sexual violence (chi2 = 4.482, P = 0.034). The influential factors on the incidence rates of violence would include: sex, smoking status, family without harmony, tendency of bullying others and the level on self-esteem etc. CONCLUSION: When the random effect of class difference was separated by multivariate multilevel model, the estimated results would be more precise. Other than paying more attention to both individual and family influential factors when taking measures to reduce the incidence rate of violence in high school students, the effect of environment in the class should not be ignored.
