  • Resource parents during two pandemics

    Kenyon Lee Whitman, Matthew A Ruderman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Child Welfare2023References: 12

    The emergence of COVID-19 created a global health crisis and impacted children and families, disproportionately affecting minoritized communities. Simultaneously, protests and anti-racist uprisings against police violence occurred worldwide. This mixed method study examined how a group of racially diverse resource parents navigated these two pandemics. Resource parents (N = 527) in Los Angeles County were surveyed about concerns related to COVID-…

  • Covid-19 and resource families

    Matthew A Ruderman, Kenyon Lee Whitman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Child Welfare2023Cited by: 1References: 5

    Resource parents (n = 527) in Los Angeles County were surveyed about their experiences with COVID-19, comparing the beginning of "Safer-at-Home" to over a year later. The findings reveal increased infection rates, maintained or increased reports of adverse impact and coping challenges, decreased reports of positive impact, and increased access to resources across time points. Compared to White resource parents, Black and Latinx resource parents r…

  • Cost savings of reduced constipation rates attributed to increased dietary fiber intakes

    Open AccessJordana K Schmier, Paige Miller et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Increasing dietary fiber consumption is associated with considerable cost savings, potentially exceeding $12 billion, which is a conservative estimate given the exclusion of lost productivity costs in the model. The finding that $12.7 billion in direct medical costs of constipation could be averted through simple, realistic changes in dietary practices is promising and highlights the need for strategies to increase dietary fiber intakes

  • Stress, adherence to preventive measures for reducing influenza transmission and influenza-like illness

    BACKGROUND: Using data from a randomised intervention trial of facemask use and hand hygiene for reducing transmission of seasonal influenza among university students, we examined if levels of perceived stress were negatively associated with adherence to these preventive measures and incidence of influenza-like illness (ILI). METHODS: Longitudinal analyses using generalised estimating equations were examined. Perceived stress was self-reported at…

  • Effect of Hand Hygiene on Infectious Disease Risk in the Community Setting

    A E Aiello, Rebecca M Coulborn et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2008Cited by: 11References: 60

    To quantify the effect of hand-hygiene interventions on rates of gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses and to identify interventions that provide the greatest efficacy, we searched 4 electronic databases for hand-hygiene trials published from January 1960 through May 2007 and conducted meta-analyses to generate pooled rate ratios across interventions (N=30 studies). Improvements in hand hygiene resulted in reductions in gastrointestinal illn…
