Link for Equity, a community-engaged waitlist randomized controlled trial of a culturally responsive trauma-informed care program for BIPOC students: Design features and characteristics of baseline sample.
Contemp Clin Trials
March 2023
Background: Link for Equity is a multi-tiered, school-based program of trauma-informed care and cultural humility designed to reduce the impact of Adverse Child Experiences among Black Indigenous and other children of color (BIPOC). This report describes the program, its trial design, and the study participants' baseline characteristics.
Methods: We designed a nested waitlist-controlled trial to evaluate Link for Equity's effectiveness in reducing school violence among BIPOC students.
Objective: To estimate the self-reported prevalence of prescription opioid use and illicit drug use in the United States.
Methods: Self-reported prescription opioid use and illicit drug use (mostly nonopioid) were obtained for adults and adult workers (NHANES 2005-2016).
Results: Prevalence (95% CI) of prescription opioid use was 6.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates COVID-19 deaths among first responders during the early pandemic phase (March 30 - April 30, 2020) using media reports and data from 19 US public health jurisdictions.
- A total of 97 COVID-19-related deaths were identified, with 66 occurring in law enforcement and 31 in fire/emergency medical services; some deaths reported by jurisdictions were not captured by media.
- The research highlighted that media scanning had an 88% sensitivity in identifying deaths but lacked detailed information on underlying conditions, suggesting that better data collection on occupations could enhance understanding of COVID-19's impact on workers.
