Building Partnerships to Identify and Address Wildfire Smoke and Extreme Heat Health Effects in Priority Populations
Background: The health impacts of extreme heat and wildfire smoke events are unevenly distributed; climate-sensitive populations are more exposed, more sensitive, and less likely to have the resources to respond. In this article, we describe the process of building a community-academic-local government partnership and conducting a climate survey with climate-sensitive populations to inform city-wide climate adaptation planning efforts in San Fran…
Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener (PEARLS v2)
Due to a demonstrated relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and a range of psychological, physical, and social risks, there has been a growing movement to integrate routine ACEs screening in pediatric settings. As screenings have increased, there has also been a call for research to uncover areas for improvement in the implementation of these screenings. The Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Events Screener (PEARLS) is one commo…
Associations Between Early-Life Adversity, Ambient Air Pollution, and Telomere Length in Children
OBJECTIVE: Examine the independent associations and interaction between early-life adversity and residential ambient air pollution exposure on relative buccal telomere length (rBTL). METHODS: Experiences of abuse, neglect, household challenges, and related life events were identified in a cross-sectional sample of children aged 1 to 11 years ( n = 197) using the 17-item Pediatric ACEs and Related Life Event Screener (PEARLS) tool. The PEARLS tool…
Biological Burden of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Children
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine relationships between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and related life events and allostatic load (AL)-"wear and tear" from chronic stress-in a pediatric population. METHODS: Children were screened with the PEdiatric ACEs and Related Life Event Screener (PEARLS) tool, a 17-item questionnaire capturing experiences of abuse, neglect, household challenges, and related life events. Biological data were avai…
A Caregiver-Child Intervention for Mitigating Toxic Stress (“The Resiliency Clinic”)
In conclusion, a group intervention teaching supportive caregiving and stress mitigation is feasible and acceptable for many families in an urban federally qualified health center (FQHC) with a signal for modest improvements in behavioral health. Future program iterations will seek to address participation barriers and expand the intervention's capacity to promote early relational health
Native American Ancestry and Air Pollution Interact to Impact Bronchodilator Response in Puerto Rican Children with Asthma
Decreased Native American ancestry coupled with increased air pollution exposure was associated with increased BDR in Puerto Rican children with asthma. Our study acknowledges BDR's phenotypic complexity, and emphasizes the importance of integrating social, environmental, and biological data to further our understanding of complex disease
Associations between historical residential redlining and current age-adjusted rates of emergency department visits due to asthma across eight cities in California
Background Asthma disproportionately affects communities of colour in the USA, but the underlying factors for this remain poorly understood. In this study, we assess the role of historical redlining as outlined in security maps created by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC), the discriminatory practice of categorising neighbourhoods on the basis of perceived mortgage investment risk, on the burden of asthma in these neighbourhoods. Methods W…
Diversity in Clinical and Biomedical Research
Esteban Gonzalez Burchard and colleagues explore how making medical research more diverse would aid not only social justice but scientific quality and clinical effectiveness, too.
