Telehealth Uptake and Rural-Urban and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Postpartum Care Access Among Medicaid Beneficiaries in South Carolina, 2018–2022
BACKGROUND: Although telehealth is increasingly being used for providing postpartum care, its role in ensuring timely postpartum care initiation in racial/ethnic minorities and rural residents is unknown. OBJECTIVES: To compare attendance and timeliness of postpartum care initiation by pandemic exposure and telehealth uptake across race/ethnicity and rural-urban residences. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Medicaid-insured i…
The roles of Covid‐19 pandemic exposure and telehealth in prenatal care access for rural and racial minority communities in the United States
PURPOSE: To examine how COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) exposure during pregnancy and telehealth use were associated with rural-urban and racial/ethnic differences in prenatal care initiation timing and frequency. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study of 349,682 pregnancies to birthing individuals who received both prenatal and intrapartum care at the 75 health systems in the United States contributing to the National Clinical Cohort Co…
Association Between Physical Activity During Pregnancy and Perinatal Depressive Symptoms in Pregnant Individuals With Overweight and Obesity
A Comparison of Bayesian Spatial Models for HIV Mapping in South Africa
Despite making significant progress in tackling its HIV epidemic, South Africa, with 7.7 million people living with HIV, still has the biggest HIV epidemic in the world. The Government, in collaboration with developmental partners and agencies, has been strengthening its responses to the HIV epidemic to better target the delivery of HIV care, treatment strategies and prevention services. Population-based household HIV surveys have, over time, con…
Neighborhood Characteristics and the Mental Health of Caregivers Cohabiting with Care Recipients Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease
While studies have documented the influence of caregiver and care recipient factors on caregiver health, it is important to address the potential impact of neighborhood contexts. This study estimated the cross-sectional associations between neighborhood characteristics and mental health among caregivers cohabiting with Alzheimer's disease care recipients that were experiencing severe or non-severe neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) (e.g., aggressio…
Stressful Life Changes and Their Relationship to Nutrition-Related Health Outcomes Among US Army Soldiers
Network-based and cohesion-based social capital and variations in depressive symptoms among Taiwanese adults
BACKGROUND: Network- and cohesion-based social capital may play an important role in improving mental health. However, there is limited understanding about these relationships among adults in Taiwan. AIM: The aim of this study was to examine the association between individual-level network and cohesion-based social capital and depressive symptoms among a population-based sample of Taiwanese adults. METHODS: = 2,598). The 20-item Center for Epidem…
Body mass index trajectories during the first year of life and their determining factors
Distinct BMI trajectories were evident as early as infancy. The predictors of these trajectories offer information about high-risk groups, and important and preventable prenatal and postnatal risk factors for future intervention programs
Longitudinal Association Between BMI at Diagnosis and HIV Disease Progression
Respiratory symptoms and lung function 8–10 months after community exposure to chlorine gas
Eight to ten months after acute chlorine exposure, the Graniteville health screening participants under-reported respiratory symptoms when compared to abnormal spirometry results. Sensitivity and specificity were low, and we determined that relying upon the self-report questionnaire was not adequate to objectively assess the lung health of our population following irritant gas exposure
Associations of estimated residential soil arsenic and lead concentrations and community-level environmental measures with mother–child health conditions in South Carolina
