Disparities in Prenatal Care Utilization in the United States
Facilitators and barriers to implementing the Project Echo model
By addressing barriers prior to implementing the ECHO model, future ECHOs can be tailored to leverage program resources, maximize attendance, expand reach, and ultimately improve outcomes

Faith-based health screenings for Marshallese adults living in the Republic of the Marshall Islands
Introduction: Striking health disparities exist in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The RMI has one of the highest age-adjusted type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rates in the world (23.0%) compared to global (9.3%) and United States (US; 13.3%) rates. We conducted health screenings including clinical indicators of T2DM and hypertension among Marshallese in the RMI. Methods: Screenings were conducted at 20 churches on Majuro Atoll. Partic…

Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Experiences of Discrimination Among Black Adults
Association of the Covid-19 Pandemic With Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Receipt Among Pregnant Individuals
Objectives. To evaluate the effect of COVID-19 on Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) receipt among pregnant individuals overall and by race/ethnicity. Methods. We measured changes in WIC receipt among Medicaid-covered births (n = 10 484 697) from the US National Center for Health Statistics Natality Files (2016–2022). Our interrupted time series logistic model included a continuous monthly variable, a bi…
The Art of Education and the Work(ing) of Art
Museum education is a complex and specialized endeavour, even more so when involving partnerships with schools. In this paper, we engage with theories that support understanding of museum-educator pedagogies. Dewey's notion of occupations is explored as offering a better theorization of pedagogical possibilities than that available through ideas associated with identity. Museum-educator pedagogies shape occupations, as the coherence of interest-p…
Best of Intentions
The purpose of this study is to explore the beliefs, intentions, and influences that serve as barriers and facilitators to exclusive breastfeeding intent among Marshallese pregnant women in the United States (US). The study used a descriptive qualitative design. In total, 36 Marshallese women in their third trimester of pregnancy participated. Participants described exclusive breastfeeding as the preferred method of infant feeding, from both indi…
Stressful life events and social support among pregnant Marshallese women
Covid-19 Death Exposure among Adults in the United States
As of May 17, 2022, more than a million deaths due to COVID-19 have been recorded in the US. For each COVID-19 death, there are an estimated nine bereaved family members and an unknown number of bereaved friends. This study aimed to assess the correlates of self-reported COVID-19 death exposure (i.e., loss of a close friend or family member) among US adults using online survey data ( n = 1,869) collected between September 17, 2021 and October 3, …
Covid‐19 vaccine hesitancy
Understanding and minimizing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine hesitancy is critical to population health and minimizing health inequities, which continue to be brought into stark relief by the pandemic. We investigate questions regarding vaccine hesitancy in a sample ( n = 1205) of Arkansas adults surveyed online in July/August of 2020. We examine relationships among sociodemographics, COVID‐19 health literacy, fear of COVID‐19 infecti…
The Association Between Education and Basic Needs Insecurity for Marshallese During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Perceived Barriers to Covid-19 Testing
(1) Background: Prior studies have documented that access to testing has not been equitable across all communities in the US, with less testing availability and lower testing rates documented in rural counties and lower income communities. However, there is limited understanding of the perceived barriers to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing. The purpose of this study was to document the perceived barriers to COVID-19 testing. (2) Method…
