Background Higher scores for the American Heart Association Life's Essential 8 (LE8) metrics, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, body mass index, physical activity, smoking, sleep, and diet, are associated with lower risk of chronic disease. Socioeconomic status (SES; employment, insurance, education, income) is LE8 scores, but there limited understanding potential differences by sex. This analysis quantifies association SES each sex, within Hispanic Americans, non‐Hispanic Asian Black...
Background The American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 (LE8) are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, with poor attainment across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Attainment is lowest among Americans of low status (SES). Evidence suggests the association SES LE8 may vary by race ethnicity. Methods Results 4 categories (education, income‐to‐poverty line ratio, employment, insurance) was computed in age‐adjusted linear regression models, an interaction term ethnicity,...
Childhood obesity persists in the United States and is associated with serious health problems. Higher rates of among children from disadvantaged households may be, part, attributable to disparities access healthy foods such as fruits vegetables. Community supported agriculture can improve consumption fresh produce, but upfront payment structure, logistical barriers, unfamiliarity produce items inhibit participation by low-income families. The aim this project assess impact subsidized, or...
Dementia prevalence is increasing exponentially and has a profound effect on individuals diagnosed as well their family caregivers. care should be patient focused, not task or medically oriented. Patient-centered dementia requires more staff time, complex, and, result, financially threatens the healthcare system. Therefore, professionals must prepared to meet needs of this growing population. The aims mixed methods study were examine 16-h interprofessional program students' knowledge,...
To characterize factors influencing the development and sustainability of data sharing in Mid-Ohio Farmacy (MOF), a produce referral program implemented partnership between community-based organization (the Food Collective ["Food Collective"]) an academic medical center (The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center [OSUWMC]).We used in-depth case study approach to identify challenges that arose during implementation MOF related solutions via semistructured interviews with representatives...
There is growing attention among health systems to advancing equity spurred, in part, by increased recognition of how social determinants at the community-level (e.g., cost and availability housing) shape individual-level needs inextricably linked outcomes housing instability). Health system-based screening programs have proliferated as a result, but interventions that address struggled scale sustainability, partly due misalignment financing mechanisms.1Fichtenberg CM Alley DE Mistry KB....
Abstract Background Adults and children in the U.S. consume inadequate quantities of fruit vegetables (FV), part, due to poor access among households with lower socioeconomic status. One approach improving FV is community supported agriculture (CSA) which purchase a ‘share’ local farm produce throughout growing season. This study examined effects cost-offset (half-price) CSA plus tailored nutrition education for low-income children. Methods The Farm Fresh Foods Healthy Kids (F3HK) randomized...
Differential reinforcement and most-to-least prompting were implemented within the context of developmentally appropriate play activities in an effort to improve eye contact between a 4-year-old boy with pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) his three therapists.A multiple baseline design across therapists was used examine PDD-NOS. Maintenance data collected at 1, 2 3 months post intervention.The intervention effective improvements maintained for least...
A community's built environment can influence health behaviors. Rural populations experience significant disparities, yet studies in these settings are limited. We used an electronic tablet-based community assessment tool to conduct audits rural settings. The primary objective of this qualitative study was evaluate the usefulness identifying barriers and facilitators healthy eating active living. second understand resident perspectives on features opportunities for improvement.Participants...
Abstract Clinic-based food referral programs (FRPs) may help alleviate insecurity and improve access to nutritious foods by systematically identifying referring food-insecure primary care patients community-based resources. The purpose of this study was examine the barriers facilitators implementation an FRP offered who screen positive for have a qualifying chronic condition. we used multi-stakeholder approach conduct semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers administrators from...
An analogue functional analysis identified attention as a function for 5-year-old boy's bruxism (teeth grinding). Functional communication training resulted in reduction of and an increase alternative mands attention. Results were maintained 3 weeks following the intervention.
Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) experiencing food insecurity may have other non-medical, health-related social needs (e.g., transportation, housing instability) that decrease their ability to attain T2D control and impact health outcomes. A pragmatic randomized controlled trial (pRCT) test the effect of produce provision, culinary skills training education, screening, navigation, resolution, on hemoglobin A1c (A1c) levels in individuals (A1c ≥7.5%) insecurity; a cost-effectiveness...
Abstract Many secondary schools are now establishing Nurture Groups, an intervention primarily designed for infant school-aged children. However, there is little research indicating that this can be applied effectively to settings. The main aim of was explore how Groups implemented into the sector and whether they a beneficial children with social, emotional behavioural difficulties. implementation three school examined through views 17 staff eight parents using focus groups, six who had...
Abstract In recent years, several initiatives have sought to encourage redemption of food assistance benefits at direct-to-consumer (DTC) market venues such as community supported agriculture programs and farmers’ markets in the USA, with dual goal increasing access healthy foods for low-income families sales locally-grown farmers. Proponents these interventions assert that a positive impact on local economies yet there is limited evidence validate this argument. This research project used...
Abstract A randomized trial of Farm Fresh Foods for Healthy Kids (F3HK) was initiated across 4 states and 12 farms to test whether cost-offset community-supported agriculture (CO-CSA) could improve diet quality among children in low-income families. Intervention households purchased a 50% subsidized share local produce were invited nine complimentary nutrition classes. The purpose this study assess F3HK reach, dose, fidelity via mixed methods process evaluation. Screening enrollment records...
