Shows the importance of fields working harmoniously.
"The purpose of the initiative was to (1) show the importance of integrating population health principles into higher-education transdisciplinary practices; (2) discuss examples of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collaboration with disciplines related to public health (i.e., economics, environmental engineering, health informatics, health law and policy, social work, liberal education in general education); and (3) explore opportunities to promote transdisciplinary learning to prepare for collaborative, interprofessional practice in population health."
A representative population is important for evidence in these studies.
"To achieve more inclusiveness and to reduce unmeasured disparities, these characteristics should be incorporated into routine trial registration, design, funding decisions, and reporting."
It is interesting to assess factors in underserved, vulnerable communities.
" Efforts targeting continuous and consistent access to care, antihypertensive medications, and regular blood pressure monitoring may improve blood pressure control among populations living in poverty."
Shows the importance of getting treatment.
"While treatment of mild CHTN during pregnancy and postpartum was not associated with the composite outcome of unplanned healthcare resource utilization, it was associated with lower rates of Emergency Department and triage visits postpartum."
It is interesting to see the lactation is what impacts the relationship.
"...disruption of lactation, not mother-offspring interaction, mediates the effects of mother-offspring separation on CV health."
The qualitative guide to self-care is great and is well-addressed in terms of how it is different for each person. It may take some time and we have to be patient with ourselves too.
Direct-to-consumer testing is great because it is accessible and helps to guide our decision-making for our own health.
"In certain conditions, many people prefer DTC testing over testing performed by HCP. Reasons include rapid decision-making, monitoring chronic conditions between consultations, screening for disease when no symptoms are present, saving time and reducing consultations, or maintaining privacy."
This review demonstrates gaps and what resources are important to provide.
"Although evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, and especially forced or early marriage of adolescent girls is limited, results from studies on other PHEs indicate that during crises, these detrimental outcomes are exacerbated. Findings from our review have important implications for policies and programs providing life skills training, financial literacy training, credit support, and safe spaces for adolescent girls."
Interesting to see perspectives and approaches globally. Three years later, a lot has been learned and adapted. Thank you to the nurses and frontline workers!
We can see the impact of the pandemic and worry about one's health and also bringing one into the world.
" Perinatal women who were very worried about COVID-19 were more often to have psychological symptoms.. · Perinatal women with demands of mental counseling were more likely to report psychological symptoms.."
Stressing the importance of disparities with health conditions
"Further research is required to understand the use of certain biomarkers in predicting preeclampsia within racial populations. Understanding contributing biosocial factors and identifying genes that may predispose high-risk populations may help to address the disparate rates of preeclampsia in Black patients..."
