Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with physical and mental health problems in adulthood, as well unresolved or discordant states of mind regarding attachments that have implications for problematic parenting. Currently, there no studies on the association between ACEs adults' subjective stress parenting role, where socioeconomic status (SES)−related poverty effects been controlled for--the central question behind current study. We examined exposure to among 118 mothers (n =...
Objectives Implementation studies are often poorly reported and indexed, reducing their potential to inform the provision of healthcare services. The Standards for Reporting Studies (StaRI) initiative aims develop guidelines transparent accurate reporting implementation studies. Methods An international working group developed StaRI guideline informed by a systematic literature review e-Delphi prioritisation exercise. Following face-to-face meeting, checklist was iteratively email discussion...
The New York City Clinical Data Research Network (NYC-CDRN), funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Institute (PCORI), brings together 22 organizations including seven independent health systems to enable patient-centered clinical research, support a national network, and facilitate learning healthcare systems. NYC-CDRN includes robust, collaborative governance organizational infrastructure, which takes advantage of its participants' experience, expertise, history collaboration. technical...
Abstract The efficient and effective movement of research into practice is acknowledged as crucial to improving population health assuring return on investment in healthcare research. National Center for Advancing Translational Science which sponsors Clinical Awards (CTSA) recognizes that dissemination implementation (D&I) sciences have matured over the last 15 years are central its goals shift academic institutions better align with this reality. In 2016, CTSA Collaboration Engagement...
This cohort study examines time trends in officially reported SARS-CoV-2 case counts and unreported home test positivity.
Abstract This paper reports on a randomized control trial involving children less than 3 years old and their mothers who were regarded at risk of maltreating by referral agencies. Mothers’ status derived from heavy trauma burden (average exposure over the first 18 lives to 10 possible adverse childhood experiences [ACEs] was >5), mental health challenges (15%–28% had experienced prior psychiatric hospitalization), removal child foster care (20%). Mothers randomly assigned either widely...
Abstract Stakeholder engagement is acknowledged as central to dissemination and implementation (D&I) of research that generates answers new clinical health service questions. There both benefit risk in conducting stakeholder engagement. Done wrong, it can damage trust adversely impact study results, outcomes, reputations. correctly with sensitivity, inclusion, respect, significantly facilitate improvements prioritization, communication, design, recruitment strategies, ultimately provide...
IMPORTANCE Hepatitis C virus (HCV) reinfection after curative treatment remains a concern for people who inject drugs. OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of HCV and associated risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study is secondary analysis randomized clinical trial that was conducted across opioid programs community health centers in US between September 2016 August 2018. The current analyses were performed March 2022. People drugs achieved sustained virologic response...

It also reports on trauma-relevant characteristics 60 entering a clinical trial study effectiveness Group Attachment-Based Intervention. Initial survey results revealed high levels neglect, abuse, household dysfunction mothers' histories (77% reported ≥4...
Abstract Background It is increasingly recognized that policies have played a role in both alleviating and exacerbating the health economic consequences of COVID-19 pandemic. There has been limited systematic evaluation variation U.S. local COVID-19-related policies. This study introduces County Policy (UCCP) Database, whose objective to systematically gather, characterize, assess county-level Methods In January-March 2021, we collected an initial wave cross-sectional data from government...
An important challenge in comparative effectiveness research is the lack of infrastructure to support pragmatic clinical trials, which compare interventions usual practice settings and subjects. These trials present challenges that differ from those classical efficacy are conducted under ideal circumstances, patients selected for their suitability, with highly controlled protocols. In 2012, we launched a 1-year learning network identify high-priority deploy through NIH Clinical Translational...
To identify ongoing practices and opportunities for improving national comparative effectiveness research (CER) translation through dissemination implementation (D&I) via NIH-funded Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) institutions.Key informant interviews were conducted with 18 CTSA grantees sampled to represent a range of D&I efforts.The institutional representatives endorsed fostering CER nationally the Consortium. However, five themes emerged from as barriers D&I: lack awareness,...
Social barriers to effective medical care are mandated be routinely assessed as part of an evaluation for liver transplantation. This study explores how frequently transplant programs encounter these in patients undergoing and whether with higher proportions Medicaid patients, historically disadvantaged minority rural social more frequently. A survey assessing patient demographics was electronically completed by representatives 61 104 eligible US adult (59%). Fifty-eight the identified...
Dissemination and implementation (D&I) science is not a formal element of the Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program, D&I activities across CTSA Consortium are largely unknown.The Dissemination, Implementation, Knowledge Translation Working Group surveyed leaders to explore science-related activities, barriers, needed supports, then conducted univariate qualitative analyses data.Out 67 leaders, 55.2% responded. CTSAs reported directly funding programs (54.1%), training (51.4%),...

Providing intimate partner violence (IPV)-related services to women enrolled in substance abuse treatment programs has the potential reach a population disproportionately affected by IPV. Integrating basic IPV into treatment, however, poses challenges organizations and staff. Using focus groups, authors examined experiences attitudes of staff towards clients with victimization order elucidate factors that might affect implementation within treatment. Seven groups were conducted members from...
To evaluate quality and the effect of pay for performance among minority patient groups, during a pay-for-performance program in 22 primary care practice sites.Data were collected on 26 standardized measures 2 measurement cycles.
