Association between Helping Behaviors and Epigenetic Aging
Background Prosocial behaviors such as volunteering and informal helping have been associated with positive health outcomes, but their links with biological aging remain underexplored, particularly across cultural contexts. The United States and Northern Ireland provide distinct social and institutional contexts for helping behaviors, allowing us to examine whether associations between volunteering, informal helping, and biological aging are cont…
Addressing Mental Health Workforce Shortages Through Community Health Worker Training
Staff attitudes to trauma-informed care for young people in NSW, Australia
Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a critical framework in youth-serving organisations, particularly for supporting young people impacted by adversity, substance use, and mental health challenges. Despite increasing awareness of its importance, consistent implementation of TIC remains a challenge, often shaped by staff attitudes and their emotional regulation strategies. This study explored the relationship between staff attitudes towards TIC and thei…
Pregnancy as a journey of care and connection
Introduction: Pregnancy and childbirth are opportunities for Indigenous communities to welcome new life, integrate meaningful cultural practices, and tangibly strengthen communal wellbeing. Simultaneously, pregnant American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) women must navigate complex healthcare systems while experiencing structural inequities that contribute to elevated risks of complications and poor birth outcomes. This study explored the pregna…
Communities organizing to promote equity
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted rural and under-resourced urban communities in Kansas. The state's response to COVID-19 has relied on a highly decentralized and underfunded public health system, with 100 local health departments in the state, few of which had prior experience engaging local community coalitions in a coordinated response to a public health crisis. Methods: To improve the capacity for local communi…
Local Health Equity Action Teams (LHEATS) as a Novel and Emerging Practice of the Communities Organizing to Promote Equity (Cope) Project in Kansas
The Communities Organizing to Promote Equity (COPE) Project was implemented in 20 counties across Kansas to build capacity to address health equity by forming local health equity action teams (LHEATS), hiring and training community health workers, facilitating state-wide learning collaboratives, and tailoring communication strategies. We conducted interviews and focus groups with project stakeholders who identified pragmatic recommendations relat…
Northern Ireland Cohort for the Longitudinal Study of Ageing (Nicola)
This manuscript can help inform design considerations for other population based studies of ageing and facilitate cross-country comparative analysis of key life-course factors affecting healthy ageing such as educational attainment, diet, the accumulation of chronic conditions (including Alzheimer's disease, dementia and cardiovascular disease) as well as welfare and retirement policies
The Empowering Schools Project
In an education system marred by inequity, urban schools in the United States are faced with the challenge of helping students from marginalized groups succeed. While many strategies have been tried, most are built on deficit-based models that blame students and teachers for a lack of achievement and ignore the role of power within the school setting. Building on the body of research on school climate, critical pedagogy, and empowering settings, …
Social engagement and its relationship to service provision in residential care and assisted living
The purpose of this study was to categorize the underlying constructs of social activity participation in a residential care and assisted-living population, determine the extent of social engagement and how it varies by facility type, and relate social engagement to service provision. Data were collected for 2,078 residents of 193 facilities in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and North Carolina participating in the Collaborative Studies of Long-Te…
