Use of telehealth did not mitigate persistent disparities in prenatal care access among American Indian women in North Dakota
BACKGROUND: In North Dakota (ND), American Indian (AI) women face a persistent disparity in prenatal care (PNC) access compared to other women. During the COVID pandemic, the expansion of telehealth emerged as a potential solution to disparate access to health care. We examined whether telehealth use mitigated disparities in PNC in ND. METHODS: Data were drawn from the 2020 to 2021 ND Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (weighted n = 10,1…
Impact of Breastfeeding Barriers on Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Breastfeeding Outcomes in North Dakota
Predictors of self-reported hypertension among women of reproductive age in North Dakota
There is evidence that frequent mental distress and disparities in healthcare access or utilization are predictors of hypertension among women of reproductive age in North Dakota. Further research is warranted to determine whether improved mental health can reduce the risk of hypertension in this population. Public health officials may consider promoting hypertension awareness and control programs in areas with limited access to healthcare profes…
Geographic disparities and temporal changes of Covid-19 hospitalization risks in North Dakota
Background: Although the burden of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been different across communities in the US, little is known about the disparities in COVID-19 burden in North Dakota (ND) and yet this information is important for guiding planning and provision of health services. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify geographic disparities of COVID-19 hospitalization risks in ND. Methods: Data on COVID-19 hospitaliz…
Examining the Role of Interpersonal Violence in Racial Disparities in Breastfeeding in North Dakota (ND PRAMS 2017–2019)
Interpersonal violence does not explain the disparity in breastfeeding in ND. Considering cultural ties to the tradition of breastfeeding and the role of colonization may provide a better understanding of breastfeeding among AI populations
Geographic disparities and temporal changes of Covid-19 incidence risks in North Dakota, United States
Geographic disparities in COVID incidence risks exist in North Dakota with high-risk clusters being identified in the rural central and southwest parts of the state. These findings are useful for guiding intervention strategies by identifying high risk communities so that resources for disease control can be better allocated to communities in need based on empirical evidence. Future studies will investigate predictors of the identified disparitie…
