Advancing Problem-Based Learning in Biomedical Engineering in the Era of Generative AI
Contribution: This article presents a modularized, implementation-ready problem-based learning (PBL) framework tailored to biomedical artificial intelligence (AI), with safe use of generative AI (GenAI) for knowledge summarization and coding support. A replication package (syllabi, milestones, rubrics, team procedures, and AI-usage templates) accompanies the framework. Background: PBL has significantly impacted biomedical engineering (BME) educat…
Linking WIC program and HMO administrative data to study the impact of WIC participation
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) serves low-income women and children up to age five in the U.S. While numerous studies document the health impacts of WIC participation, these studies often lack adequate control groups of families eligible for WIC but not participating. This study sought to link a large WIC administrative dataset with electronic health records from a Health Maintenance Organization…
Neighborhood Contexts and Breast Cancer Among Asian American Women
An evaluation of the healthier dining programme effects on university student and staff choices in Singapore
The neighborhood food environment modifies the effect of the 2009 WIC food package change on childhood obesity in Los Angeles County, California
The impact of the food package change was modified by the neighborhood food environment among girls only. Future policy changes should incorporate consideration of ways to mitigate potentially inequitable geographic distribution of the health benefits of policy changes
Pre-acculturation as a risk factor for obesity
Immigrants to the United States may have an advantage in terms of healthier weight, but tend to gain excessive weight after arrival, and may suffer from obesity and related health conditions. Acculturation theory suggests that this increase in obesity risk is due to adoption of unhealthy western dietary behaviors, and assumes that "eastern/traditional" dietary behaviors prior to migration are healthier. While this assumption is supported by studi…
Health of Philippine Emigrants Study (HoPES)
Migrants enrolled in the study appear to be representative of recent Filipino migrants to the U.S. Additionally, migrant and non-migrant study participants are comparable on several characteristics that we attempted to balance at baseline, including age, gender, and education. HoPES is a unique study that approximates a natural experiment from which to study the effects of immigration on obesity and other health problems. A number of innovative m…
The unhealthy food environment does not modify the association between obesity and participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Los Angeles County
SNAP participation was associated with higher odds of obesity in our primarily Hispanic sample in Los Angeles County, with no effect modification found for the unhealthy portion of the food environment. More research is needed with additional food environment measures to confirm our null findings. Additional research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms linking SNAP participation and obesity as they remain unclear
Social disparities in dietary habits among women
Objective Relationships among race/ethnicity, individual socio-economic status (SES), neighbourhood SES and acculturation are complex. We sought to answer whether: (i) race/ethnicity, individual SES and neighbourhood SES have independent effects on women’s fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC); (ii) SES modifies the effects of race/ethnicity on FVC; and (iii) nativity modifies the effect of Latina ethnicity on FVC. Design Cross-sectional surveys …
Racial and ethnic residential segregation and access to health care in rural areas
Validity of the body mass index as an indicator of adiposity in an ethnically diverse population of youths
Validity of the body mass index as an indicator of adiposity in an ethnically diverse population of youths
The primary objective was to investigate the influences of ethnicity and pubertal stage on the ability of body mass index (BMI) to rank adiposity in a cohort of 402 Asian, African, Hispanic, and White Americans, aged 9-25 years. BMI was calculated from measured weight and height. Body composition and pubertal stage were determined by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and self-rating, respectively. Multiple linear regression models with BMI, ethnic…
