Increasing Preterm Delivery and Small for Gestational Age Trends in South Carolina during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Preterm delivery (PTD) complications are a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess trends in PTD and small for gestational age (SGA) and whether trends varied between race-ethnic groups in South Carolina (SC). We utilized 2015-2021 SC vital records linked to hospitalization and emergency department records. PTD was defined as clinically estimated gestation less than (<) 37 weeks (wks.) with subgroup analyses of PTD < …
Predictors of Treatment Completion among Women Receiving Integrated Treatment for Comorbid Posttraumatic Stress and Substance Use Disorders
Background: Retention in treatment for individuals with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) is an area of concern in treatment outcome studies. The current study explores key variables related to retention in a group of women with comorbid PTSD and SUD enrolled in community SUD treatment randomized to eight weekly sessions of a trauma adapted mindfulness-based relapse prevention (TA-MBRP) or an integrat…
Reported Neighborhood Traffic and the Odds of Asthma/Asthma-Like Symptoms
Asthma in children poses a significant clinical and public health burden. We examined the association between reported neighborhood traffic (a proxy for traffic-related air pollution) and asthma among 855 multi-racial children aged 4-8 years old who participated in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) cohort. We hypothesized that high neighborhood traffic density would be associated with the prevalence of asthma. Asthma/as…
Participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program is associated with fewer barriers to serving healthier foods in early care and education
CACFP directors reported fewer barriers to serving healthier foods in child care centers. Still, cost and children's food preferences are persistent barriers to serving healthier foods in ECE. Future research should evaluate characteristics of CACFP participation that may alleviate these barriers, and whether barriers emerge or persist following 2017 rule changes to CACFP nutrition standards
Effects of a New State Policy on Physical Activity Practices in Child Care Centers in South Carolina
Objectives. We sought to determine the extent to which child care centers in South Carolina improved physical activity practices after a new policy took effect. Methods. In 2012, South Carolina adopted new mandatory physical activity standards within its child care quality enhancement program. This quasi-experimental study used North Carolina, a state not making policy changes, as the comparison. Participants were 34 child care centers in South C…
Accurately Predicting Bipolar Disorder Mood Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Monitoring mental health treatment outcomes for populations requires an understanding as to which patient information is needed in electronic format and is feasible to obtain in routine care. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether bipolar disorder outcomes can be accurately predicted and how much clinical detail is needed to do so. RESEARCH DESIGN, DATA SOURCES, AND PARTICIPANTS: Longitudinal study of bipolar disorder patients treated during 2…
Blood Lead Levels Among Pregnant Women
Blood lead among pregnant women, even at modest levels, may impair offspring cognitive development. We examine whether blood lead levels (BLLs) result from current versus historic exposures, among a cohort of pregnant women. Cumulative logit models were used to characterize the relationship between maternal risk factors and higher BLLs. Maternal blood lead levels more likely result from lead remobilization from historic versus contemporaneous exp…
Longitudinal Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Antimanic Medication Use in Bipolar-I Disorder
OBJECTIVE: To examine racial/ethnic longitudinal disparities in antimanic medication use among adults with bipolar-I disorder. METHODS: Observational study using administrative data from Florida's Medicaid program, July 1997 to June 2005, for enrollees diagnosed with bipolar-I disorder (N = 13,497 persons; 126,413 person-quarters). We examined the likelihood of receiving one of the following during a given quarter: (1) any antimanic agent (antips…
