The effectiveness of the communities that Heal intervention on reducing non-fatal opioid overdoses
Assessing the relationship between multimorbidity, psychosocial variables, and clinical outcomes among older adults living in rural Appalachia
The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between multimorbidity, psychosocial variables, and clinical outcomes among older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in rural Appalachia. Point-of-care clinical data (e.g. A1c, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure) and self-reported survey data, that includes psychosocial factors (e.g. distress, depressive symptoms, social support, perceived stress), chronic conditions, and so…
Examining HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) acceptability among rural people who inject drugs
Rural communities in the US have increasing HIV burden tied to injection drug use, yet engagement in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care has been low among people who inject drugs (PWID). Syringe service programs (SSPs) are widely implemented in Kentucky's Appalachian region, presenting an important opportunity to scale PrEP services. This paper examines PrEP awareness, interest and preferences among PWID attending community-based SSPs in Appala…
Neonatal Abstinence Signs during Treatment
Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) presents with a varying severity of withdrawal signs and length of treatment (LOT). We examined the course and relevance of each of the NAS withdrawal signs during treatment in a sample of 182 infants with any prenatal opioid exposure, gestational age ≥ 35 weeks, without other medical conditions, and meeting the criteria for pharmacological treatment. Infants were monitored using the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence…
Broadband internet subscription rates and opioid prescribing via telemedicine during the Covid‐19 pandemic
PURPOSE: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the US DEA allowed controlled substance prescriptions to be issued following a telemedicine encounter. This study evaluated changes in opioid prescribing in Kentucky counties with low and high rates of broadband subscription before, during, and after a series of statewide emergency declarations that may have affected health care access. METHODS: The study used the prescription drug monitoring program…
Extubation Readiness in Preterm Infants
Preterm infants with respiratory distress may require mechanical ventilation which is associated with increased pulmonary morbidities. Prompt and successful extubation to noninvasive support is a pressing goal. In this communication, we show original data that increased recurring intermittent hypoxemia (IH, oxygen saturation <80%) may be associated with extubation failure at 72 h in a cohort of neonates <30 weeks gestational age. Current-generati…
The mediating/moderating role of cultural context factors on self-care practices among those living with diabetes in rural Appalachia

The Long-Term Effects of a Coal Waste Disaster on Social Trust in Eastern Kentucky Updated
This research note follows up a study of the immediate impact of an October 2000 coal waste disaster on social trust, community attachment, and risk perception in Martin County, Kentucky. This research study explores whether the negative social impacts of the October 2000 disaster in Martin County have persisted in the longer term. Specifically, it analyzes two waves of survey data Martin County (2001 and 2011) and Perry County, Kentucky (2001 an…
