Community Recommendations for Hospital-Based Maternity Care
Introduction: Hospitals in the United States are increasingly working to advance maternal health (MH) equity. To succeed, these efforts must be community-driven, centering voices of those with experience of health inequities, suboptimal care, and the impacts of structural racism. However, robust hospital engagement with such guidance remains rare. We documented community-driven strategies for advancing MH equity. Methods: Using a community-based …
Exploring Students' Reasons to Pursue Nursing
BACKGROUND: The nursing profession faces workforce shortages and high turnover. Understanding nursing career choices is crucial. This study explores the role of interest in fostering grit among nursing students. METHOD: This qualitative descriptive study examined motivations of first-year Bachelor of Nursing students at a regional university in Australia. Data from "Grow Your Grit" program journal entries were analyzed to identify key themes; the…
Community-Based Approaches to Developing a Community-Level Intervention to Improve Black Maternal and Infant Health
Legal Reform to Address Key Drivers of Racial Inequities in Maternal Health
California's recent maternal health-focused laws/regulations have primarily targeted inadequate or inequitable structural resources (Driver 3). Few directly intervened on Drivers 1 or 2. These findings provide a useful grounding for future policy research and reveal the advantages of assessing policies in terms of mechanism-focused intervention targets. Policy implications and potential levers are discussed
The time for patient partnership in medical education has arrived
PURPOSE: This paper explores experiences of a physician who in one life-altering day awoke in intensive care and had to embark on a complex journey as full-time patient. It identifies the important literature, albeit limited, from a unique dual lens view of physician turned patient, and analyzes the potential for advancing medical education by recognizing the expertise that patients possess from lived experience. METHODOLOGY: An autoethnography s…
Challenges and Opportunities for Clinician Implicit Bias Training
Introduction: In an attempt to address health inequities, many U.S. states have considered or enacted legislation requiring antibias or implicit bias training (IBT) for health care providers. California's “Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act” requires that hospitals and alternative birthing centers provide IBT to perinatal clinicians with the goal of improving clinical outcomes for Black women and birthing people. However, there is as yet ins…
Pursuing Research Justice Through Community–Academic Partnership to Address Racial Disparities in Preterm Birth
Community-academic partnerships addressing racial health disparities should confront internal and structural power dynamics early on and support affected communities to lead the efforts, including committing to funding and capacity-building activities to ensure research justice
Adaptation of the Person-Centered Maternity Care Scale in the United States
Creativity, Resilience and Resistance
This article documents the experiences of Black birthworkers supporting pregnant and birthing people and new mamas during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Building on the methodology and outcomes of Battling Over Birth-a Research Justice project by and for Black women about their experiences of pregnancy and childbirth-the authors utilized a "community-based sheltered-in-place research methodology" to collect the narratives of Black…

Visually Modeling New Zealand Conservation Strategy
This article looks at using diagrams to help conceptualize and model conservation strategies. Diagrams can help focus attention within a large number of components and interrelationships without losing sight of the surrounding ecosystem. A brief summary of a strategic diagram project for New Zealand's Department of Conservation is followed by an analysis of user experiences. This demonstrates the potential for diagrams to overcome some pitfalls o…

Sex-Specific Association of Depression and a Haplotype in Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase Gene
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether genetic variants involved in inflammation play a role in the sex difference in depression. Depression is, in part, genetically determined and inflammation has been implicated. Women are twice as likely to develop depression as men. METHODS: We examined the association, separately in men and women, between seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (ALOX5AP) gene …
Common Genetic Contributions to Depressive Symptoms and Inflammatory Markers in Middle-Aged Men
Objective: To examine the extent to which a common genetic pathway is also involved in the relationship between depressive symptoms, in the absence of major depressive disorder (MDD), and inflammation. Recent data suggested that MDD and inflammation share common genes. Methods: We recruited 188 male twins from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry who were free of symptomatic coronary artery disease and MDD, with mean ± standard deviation (SD) age of 55 …
Depressive Symptoms and Heart Rate Variability
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the relationship between depression and heart rate variability (HRV) in a sample of twins. Reduced HRV, a measure of autonomic dysfunction, has been linked to depression but many studies have inadequately controlled for familial and environmental factors. Furthermore, little is known about whether depression and HRV share common genetic pathways. METHODS: We performed power spectral analysis on 24-hour ambulatory electrocard…
