A recent American Psychological Association Summit provided an urgent call to transform psychological science and practice away from a solely individual-level focus become accountable for population-level impact on health mental health. population ensures the of all children, adolescents, adults elimination inequities across groups. Science must guide three components this transformation. First, effective interventions be scaled up level using principles implementation science, investing in...
Abstract Background Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a heritable disorder affecting 1.3 million individuals in the USA. Eighty percent of people with FH are undiagnosed, particularly minoritized populations including Black or African American people, Asian and women across racial groups. Family cascade screening an evidence-based practice that can increase diagnosis improve health outcomes but rarely implemented routine practice, representing important care gap. In pilot work, we...
Increased secure firearm storage can reduce youth injury and mortality, a leading cause of death for children adolescents in the US. Despite availability evidence-based programs recommendations from American Academy Pediatrics, few pediatric clinicians report routinely implementing these programs.

Background: Risk for cardiovascular events is elevated in people with psoriatic disease. Our team developed a care coordination model to assist managing risk We piloted this and study procedures prior launching fully powered prospective clinical trial. Objective: This used qualitative methods gather feedback on the coordinator from constituents (clinicians, patients, coordinators) who participated pilot trial optimize approach. Methods: conducted 42 total interviews disease, referring...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that carries increased risk for premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, events, and death. Due to low uptake of evidence-based practices, up 80% FH patients remain undiagnosed most are undertreated. This project aimed understand patient clinician perceptions across the care pathway diagnosis treatment FH, inform implementation strategy design two clinical trials seeking increase care. With input from...
To conduct a biomarker survey to examine the anemia burden and vitamin B12 folate status in women of reproductive age as part an ongoing periconceptional surveillance program Southern India. Participants were (15–40 y) who not pregnant or lactating resided households within 50 km2 catchment area our community-based research site Venous blood samples collected at enrollment (n = 813), whole analyzed for hemoglobin using automated Coulter counter. Plasma, serum, red cells (RBC) separated by...
INTRODUCTION: Postpartum (PP) infections are more common after Cesarean section (CS) compared to vaginal deliveries. Preoperative Cefazolin is commonly used, recent evidence indicates that adding azithromycin (AZI) as extended antibiotic coverage decreases the risk of infectious comorbidities for non-elective CS (nCS). Since 2017, our L&D used AZI + cefazolin in nCS. Goal was determine if preoperative lowers PP infections. METHODS: An IRB approved retrospective cohort study conducted. ST...
To characterize the reproductive history and pregnancy outcomes in women of age as part an ongoing periconceptional surveillance program Southern India. Participants were (15-40 y) who not pregnant or lactating resided households within 50 km2 catchment area our community-based research site India (n = 813). After obtaining informed consent/assent, obstetric histories captured by a trained OB/GYN nurse via electronic interviewer-administered questionnaire with study participants. In this...
To conduct a biomarker survey to examine the burden of anemia, iron deficiency, and inflammation in women reproductive age Southern India. Participants were (15–40 y; n = 980) who not pregnant or lactating resided households within 50 km,2 catchment area our periconceptional surveillance program Venous blood samples collected at enrollment by trained laboratory technician research facility. Whole analyzed for hemoglobin (Hb) using an automated Coulter counter. Plasma, serum, red cells...
INTRODUCTION: The goal of preoperative antibiotics is to decrease and prevent postpartum infections. Recent evidence indicates that adding azithromycin (AZI) Cefazolin as extended antibiotic coverage can the risk infectious co-morbidities for non-elective Cesarean Deliveries (nCD). November 2017 we started using AZI + cefazolin in nCD. was determine institutional compliance administration. METHODS: An IRB approved retrospective cohort study over 4 months patients undergoing ST (1st...
INTRODUCTION: Primary Cesarean sections (CD) pose greater risks of mortality and morbidity than vaginal delivery for nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex (NTSV) women. There is 15 fold variation in NTSV cesareans US hospitals, suggesting an opportunity change at the institutional level. In January 2016, Stony Brook started a QI initiative (QI-i) to lower rate CD via grand rounds education identifying active labor as 6 cm dilation, encouraging optimal patient positioning promote progress...
To examine biomarkers of heavy metal exposure in women reproductive age as part an ongoing periconceptional surveillance program Southern India. Participants were (15–40 y) who not pregnant or lactating and resided households within the 50 km2 catchment area our community-based research site. Venous blood samples collected metal-free blue top K2EDTA vacutainers, urine acid-washed containers. Plasma red cells separated by centrifugation, processed, stored <−80 °C until analysis. Heavy...
To examine the burden of metabolic outcomes and associations vitamin B12 status with health in women reproductive age (WRA), as part a population-based biomarker survey Chittoor, India. Participants (980 WRA; 15–40y nonpregnant or lactating) were assessed for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; nephelometry) serum concentrations (chemiluminescence). Anthropometric measurements systolic (SBP) diastolic (DBP) blood pressures collected triplicate. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to evaluate...
