Using systematic curriculum mapping at a rural LCME-accredited medical school, the research quantifies the hours dedicated to these areas-approximately 202 hours for disability-related topics and 177 hours for ESL-distributed across all four years. The curriculum emphasizes foundational…
The Legacy of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Well after the pandemic period, maternal-infant health continues to be affected. For women, the increase in hypertension and diabetes during pregnancy is concerning. For infants, being LGA or SGA may have long-term consequences. The post-pandemic increase in infants with congenital anomalies compared to the pre-pandemic era is an area that needs ongoing review
Teachers’ Perceptions of the Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic and Their Implementation of an Evidence-based HIV Prevention Program in the Bahamas
Information on how school-based programs is implemented and sustained during crises is limited. In this study, we assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the implementation of a HIV prevention intervention in The Bahamas. Data were collected from 139 Grade 6 teachers in 2021-2022. Teachers attended virtual training and received implementation monitoring from coordinators. On average, teachers taught 26.4 (SD = 9.2) of the 35 core activiti…

The Influence of Mediators on the Relationship Between Antenatal Opioid Agonist Exposure and the Severity of Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome
Comparing standard versus enhanced implementation of an evidence-based HIV prevention program among Bahamian sixth grade students
An evidence-based HIV prevention intervention can achieve a high degree of implementation when delivered with enhanced implementation strategies and implementation monitoring. Future program implementers should consider the purposeful selection and training of school coordinators and mentors to support low-implementing teachers as a potentially important strategy when attempting to achieve high-quality implementation of school-based interventions

Discussion: The adapted PCMH curriculum significantly impacted learner outcomes using a feasible approach that fit nicely within health professional curricula and limited resources of the rural setting. Parents enjoyed the opportunity to serve as mentors and valued the instruc…
A Latent Class Analysis of the Co-occurrence of Risk Behaviors among Adolescents
Objectives: In this study, we examined the co-occurrence of multiple health-risk behaviors to determine whether there are any differences in the pattern of co-occurrence by sex. Methods: We conducted latent class analysis using the national 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey data for the overall sample, and separately by sex (N = 13,583). Results: Over half of the sample (53%) belonged to the low risk subgroup (Class 1). Class 2 accounted for 15% of…
Association Between Breastfeeding and Childhood Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
Identifying Multiple Risks of Low Birth Weight Using Person-Centered Modeling
Trends in serum lipids among 5th grade Cardiac participants, 2002–2012
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL-C) have recently declined in the U.S.A. among adult and child populations despite high obesity prevalence rates. The purpose of this study was to assess whether there was a significant linear decrease in LDL-C and non-HDL-C, but not Body Mass Index (BMI) percentile among a cross-sectional, large, homogenous cohort with consistent me…
Parental Efficacy and Role Responsibility for Assisting in Child’s Healthful Behaviors
The epidemic of childhood obesity, and its subsequent impact on negative health outcomes, continues to plague the United States. Better health outcomes have been linked to increased child achievement in school. Due to the strong influence parents have on children’s healthful behaviors particularly in younger years, it’s imperative to examine the social cognitive impact parents have on this aspect of children’s development. The objective of this s…

Children’s Aerobic Fitness and Academic Achievement
Objectives. We assessed children’s potential differences in academic achievement based on aerobic fitness over a 2-year period. Methods. The longitudinal study sample included 3 cohorts of students (n = 1725; 50.1% male) enrolled in a West Virginia public school system. Students received baseline fitness and academic assessments as fifth graders and at a 2-year follow-up assessment. We used FitnessGram to assess fitness in aerobic capacity and WE…
Validating the NonParental Adult Inventory (NPAI) for Mental Health Assessment and Research
Adaptation and cognitive testing of physical activity measures for use with young, school-aged children and their parents
Development of Condom-Use Self-Efficacy Over 36 Months Among Early Adolescents
This research evaluates condom-use self-efficacy and its increase throughout adolescence. Documentation of the development of condom-use self-efficacy would be important for prevention efforts given the influence of self-efficacy on actual condom-usage. This study assesses a hypothesized mediation mechanism of the development of self-efficacy using a mediation analysis approach. The participants, 497 grade-6 Bahamian students, were randomly assig…
A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of an Adolescent HIV Prevention Program Among Bahamian Youth
Comparing Adolescent and Parent Perceptions of Current and Future Disapproved Internet Use
The increasing availability and marketing of computer‐ and Internet‐based activities have led parents and professionals to question their health impact and to seek best practices for monitoring ado
Personal values and involvement in problem behaviors among Bahamian early adolescents
In designing interventions for reducing adolescents' problem behaviors, it may be important to understand the values associated with specific problem behaviors. Further exploration regarding lack of association between adolescent and parental values and problem behaviors is needed
Latent Class Analysis of Risk Behaviors Among Bahamian Young Adolescents
To explore an association between values and risk behaviors among early adolescents, baseline data from 689 Bahamian youth (median age = 10) were collected from the Portrait Values Questionnaire (Schwartz et al., 2001) and The Bahamian Youth Health Risk Behavioral Inventory. Latent class analysis identified three classes of youth in differing patterns of risk behavior: (7.8%) high levels of drug and delinquency risk behaviors; (2.8%) high levels …
Preventive Care in Appalachia
Context: West Virginians are at increased risk for heart disease. Given that the process of atherosclerosis begins in childhood, the Coronary Artery Risk Detection in Appalachian Communities Project was developed to reduce this risk by implementing a cholesterol screening program in the schools. However, participation rates have been less than desired. Purpose: This study examined the barriers to participation in preventive health screenings, spe…
Youth and Parental Perceptions of Parental Monitoring and Parent-Adolescent Communication, Youth Depression, and Youth Risk Behaviors
Data from 752 Bahamian youth and their parents were analyzed to examine the relationship of youth depression with youth risk involvement, parental monitoring, and parent-youth communication. Depressed youth were older, more likely to engage in risk behaviors, and they perceived significantly lower levels of parental monitoring and higher levels of impaired communication than did nondepressed youth. Both depressed and nondepressed youth perceived …
Caregiver Predictors of Adolescent Inhalant Abuse in Rural Appalachia
We believe that parent-based educational training services should be studied that provide information about inhalant abuse and encourage open communication, adaptive coping, and adequate monitoring skills
The influence of parental monitoring and parent-adolescent communication on Bahamian adolescent risk involvement
Parent and Adolescent Perceptions of Parental Monitoring and Adolescent Risk Involvement
Objective. To compare parent and youth reports of the extent to which parents monitor their adolescents and to determine whether parents' perceptions of parental monitoring are more predictive of adolescent risk behavior. Design. Data were obtained from a cross-sectional sample of 270 parent - adolescent dyads recruited from rural communities in West Virginia. Parents completed a series of written questionnaires, and adolescents (12-16 years) pro…
Risk and Protective Factors Associated with Gang Involvement among Urban African American Adolescents
Data from 349 urban African American youth were analyzed to explore whether the differences in exposure to violence, resilience, and distress symptoms between gang members and nonmembers resulted from the risk behaviors in which youth participated or from the gang membership itself. Youth with current or past gang membership documented higher levels of risk involvement, lower levels of resilience, higher exposure to violence, and higher distress …
