- CONCLUSIONS: Participants in subsidized housing shared their experiences before and during this unique crisis highlighting the challenges they face, as well as their resilience and adaptability when facing challenges. Our findings underscore the significance of community activation, demonstrating that activities motivated older adults to improve their well-being. Additionally, the role of technology in maintaining connections […]
- INTRODUCTION: Physical frailty is reversible, but little is known about the sustainability of frailty remission and its impact on dementia.
- CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Medical debt is prevalent among adults with depression and anxiety and may contribute to the mental health treatment gap. In the absence of structural reform, new policies are warranted to protect against this financial barrier to mental health care.
- Objective: To compare telemedicine versus office visit use at two Medicaid-focused pediatric primary care clinics. Methods: Retrospective cohort study from March 15, 2020 – March 15, 2021 at two Medicaid-focused pediatric primary care clinics. Site A and Site B care for different populations (Site B care for mostly immigrant families with preferred language Spanish). Outcomes […]

- CONCLUSIONS: In extremely preterm newborns, systemic elevations of inflammation-related proteins during the neonatal period were not associated with childhood asthma and obesity outcomes at 10 or 15 years of age.
- CONCLUSIONS: A cultural adaptation of a primary care-based educational obesity prevention program for immigrant Chinese American families with low income is associated with certain healthy infant feeding practices. Future studies should evaluate cultural adaptations of more intensive interventions that better address complex feeding practices, such as breastfeeding, and evaluate long-term weight outcomes.
- CONCLUSIONS: Older adults living in subsidized housing have higher hazards of hospitalization and nursing facility utilization compared to those in the general community. Housing-based interventions to optimize aging in place and mitigate risk of nursing facility utilization should consider risk factors including functional impairment and dementia.
- CONCLUSIONS: PBPK modeling simulations revealed that the current US FDA-labeled pediatric dosing regimen listed in the prescribing information can produce the required exposure of levetiracetam in these target populations with dose adjustments for children with obesity aged 4 years to younger than 16 years.
- With advances in medical care, more youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD) are transitioning into adulthood. Patient- and family-centered, integrated care is warranted around this time of transition. Support teams (including the youth, caregivers, teachers, and pediatricians) should engage in transition planning, ideally starting between 12 and 14 years of age, to identify and […]

- CONCLUSIONS: UFIT integrates theories and guidance from UCD, human factors/ergonomics, and implementation science to promote fit with local contexts for optimal outcomes. The components of UFIT were used to guide the development of Improving Pediatric Obesity Practice Using Prompts, an integrated package comprising CDS for obesity or overweight treatment with tailored implementation strategies.
- CONCLUSIONS: The intervention and control groups had comparable time-to-first 90-day ED visit/readmission/death during a deprescribing intervention. This finding suggests that deprescribing did not result in a higher risk of ED visit/readmission/death during the 90-day period following hospital discharge.
- Background: Understanding how different populations respond to a childhood obesity intervention could help optimize personalized treatment strategies, especially with the goal to reduce disparities in obesity. Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Greenlight Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial, a health communication focused pediatric obesity prevention trial, to evaluate for heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) […]
