IPV is particularly prevalent during reproductive years, including pregnancy and postpartum periods, and has severe adverse effects on both maternal and child health. Home visiting offers a promising context for prevention; however, persistent barriers to screening underscore the need for practical, imple…

At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Alabama's Title V Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) team was forced to innovate in order to gather community input and to prioritize the findings of the 2020 Title V Maternal and Child Health Five-Year Comprehensive Needs Assessment. On a shortened timeline, the team pivoted from a full-day, in-person meeting of professionals and family representatives to an asynchronous, online "me…

In spring 2022, gubernatorial candidate Tim James launched a series of negative TV and radio ads that defamed MCAA, ostensibly to generate votes from the ult…

Evaluation of a Conceptual Model Regarding Exercise Promotion Through the Patient-Provider Interaction in Multiple Sclerosis
Nearly 80% of persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) do not engage in sufficient amounts of exercise for managing symptoms and improving quality of life. We have addressed this problem by developing a systematic line of qualitative research targeting the patient-provider interaction for promotion of exercise within comprehensive MS care. This research resulted in a conceptual model that guides health care providers in promoting exercise among perso…
Exploring employee perceptions of Six Sigma as a change management program in higher education
Change initiatives in higher education are frequently guided by an institutional change management program which provides employees with a framework and set of skills to better understand problems and facilitate change at the organisational level. In this paper, we explore employee perceptions of Six Sigma as a tool for facilitating change at one public institution of higher education in the southeast United States. Unlike previous research studi…
Bringing Community and Academic Scholars Together to Facilitate and Conduct Authentic Community Based Participatory Research

The purpose of this manuscript is to highlight: (1) the development of a CBPR pilot grant request for application; and (2) a comprehensive program supporting CBPR obesity-related grant proposals facilitated by activities designed to promote scholarly collaborations between academic researchers …
