Mapping Disparities in Charitable Food Access in Georgia
Building trust in rural communities
Background: Studying human development often requires intimate interpersonal queries and interactions with children and families. Such research necessitates moving beyond traditional lab settings to engage participants within their communities for an extended period of time. Building trust is essential for conducting ecologically valid, longitudinal research, particularly when working with diverse and historically underserved populations. Develop…
Exercise benefits and barriers in an extension‐delivered diabetes prevention program
Limited evidence of determinants of exercise (EX)/physical activity (PA) behavior change exists in the context of Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) implementation. Participants ( n = 50, 57.3 ± 12.9 yo, BMI = 35.1 ± 6.2) were assessed for weight status, self‐reported EX/PA behavior, and perceived benefits and barriers at baseline and completion of an Extension‐delivered DPP. EX/PA behavior improved in response to the intervention, albeit statisti…
Epic-CP pilot trial
In children with cerebral palsy (CP), there is evidence that social determinants of health contribute to poorer health outcomes and are barriers to families accessing health services. In the general paediatric population, there is emerging evidence that clinical pathways for the systematised identification and referral of unmet social can support families to address their social needs. The objectives of this Australian pilot are to investigate th…
Systematic Identification of Unmet Needs and Referral to Physician Help at an Australian Hospital
Systematic integration of unmet social needs screening and referral into routine clinical care can help improve clinicians’ understanding of patient’s social determinants of health (SDH) and address health disparities. This is critical to ensure optimal care of children with chronic and complex health conditions. This quality improvement project was piloted at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead to standardise screening of SDH concerns using a mo…
Mixed methods evaluation of implementation and outcomes in a community-based cancer prevention intervention
As higher implementation was related to improved participant outcomes, program administrators should emphasize the importance of fidelity in training for program instructors. The CFIR can be used to identify barriers and/or facilitators to implementation in community interventions, but results may be unique from clinical contexts
Nutrition Intervention to Hispanic Groups
Childhood obesity is a pressing public health issue, especially in the Hispanic community. Two pilot studies were performed; Study 1 was performed to assess the effect of a nutrition education intervention on the nutrition-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Hispanic children in an after-school program. Nutrition educational lessons were administered 1 h per week. Evaluation was conducted as a baseline Pre-test, a Post-test (following …
