DSpace CRIS
DSpace-CRIS consists of a data model describing objects of interest to Research and Development and a set of tools to manage the data. Standard DSpace is used to deal with publications and data sets, whereas DSpace-CRIS involves other CRIS entities: Researcher Pages, Projects, Centers and Second Level Dynamic Objects (single entities specialized by a profile, such as Journal, Prize, Event etc; because any profile can define its own set of properties and nested objects)

Research area: | Ciencias de la Salud | Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. | Source: | Transgender Health, 7(3), 237-241 | Journal: | Transgender Health | Volume: | 7 | Issue: | 3 | Start page: | 237 | End page: | 241 | Abstract: | Purpose: Transgender women (TW) in the Dominican Republic (DR) are at high risk for syphillis infection. Although treatable, infection rates remain at epidemic proportions. Methods: In 2016, we conducted a national survey, with serological sampling of TW in the DR (n=255). Results: In our sample, syphillis seropositivity was 47.45%. There was a statistically significant association between age (t=−2.93, df, p<0.01), arrest history (χ2=8.15, p<0.01), exposure to violence (χ2=3.73, p<0.05), and syphilis seropositivity. Multivariate analyses show TW arrested in the past 6 months have higher odds of seropositivity (odds ratio=2.05, confidence interval: 1.04–4.06, p<0.05). Conclusions: There is a need for education and public health campaigns focused on TW specifically. |
