Validity of Self-Reported Cannabis Use Based on Urine Toxicology Measures in a Population-Based Pregnancy Cohort in Michigan
BACKGROUND: Prenatal cannabis use may be underreported due to social stigma and fear of legal repercussions. The study assesses the validity of self-reported prenatal cannabis use versus urine toxicology measures and determines correlates of non-disclosure. METHODS: Data are from a statewide population-based pregnancy cohort (MARCH- Michigan Archive for Research on Child Health). Participants were recruited at first prenatal visit from 22 clinics…
A mindful eating program improved home eating environment and reduced food insecurity among rural economically marginalized families
To address the urban-rural and socioeconomic disparities in childhood obesity, this study evaluated a childcare-based mindful eating intervention on improving eating behavior and home eating environment and reducing obesity and food insecurity among economically marginalized families in rural areas. A one-group pragmatic trial with a pretest-posttest design was conducted across 26 childcare classes in rural Midwestern U.S. Trained childcare teach…
Association of maternal education, neighborhood deprivation, and racial segregation with gestational age at birth by maternal race/ethnicity and United States Census region in the Echo cohorts
Background In the United States, disparities in gestational age at birth by maternal race, ethnicity, and geography are theorized to be related, in part, to differences in individual- and neighborhood-level socioeconomic status (SES). Yet, few studies have examined their combined effects or whether associations vary by maternal race and ethnicity and United States Census region. Methods We assembled data from 34 cohorts in the Environmental influ…

Telehealth in response to the Covid-19 pandemic
Telehealth programs have long held promise for addressing rural health disparities perpetuated by inadequate healthcare access. The COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic and accompanying social distancing measures have hastened the implementation of telehealth programs in hospital systems around the globe. Here, we provide specific examples of telehealth efforts that have been implemented in a large rural healthcare system in response to t…
Weight estimation among multi-racial/ethnic infants and children aged 0–5·9 years in the USA
Objective In resource-constrained facilities or during resuscitation, immediate paediatric weight estimation remains a fundamental challenge. We aimed to develop and validate weight estimation models based on ulna length and forearm width and circumference measured by simple and portable tools; and to compare them against previous methods (advanced paediatric life support (APLS), Theron and Traub–Johnson formulas). Design Cross-sectional analysis…
Effectiveness of differing levels of support for family meals on obesity prevention among head start preschoolers
Clincaltrials.gov Identifier NCT02487251 ; Registered June 26, 2015
An Integrated Model of Breastfeeding Peer Counseling Support is Feasible and Associated with Improved Exclusive Breastfeeding
Impact of peer counselling breast-feeding support programme protocols on any and exclusive breast-feeding discontinuation in low-income women
Objective Peer counselling (PC) programmes have been shown to improve breast-feeding outcomes in populations at risk for early discontinuation. Our objective was to describe associations between programme components (individual and combinations) and breast-feeding outcomes (duration and exclusivity) in a PC programme for low-income women. Design Secondary analysis of programme data. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used…
