Adverse childhood experiences and obesity: Systematic review of behavioral interventions for women.

Objective: Studies have demonstrated a relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adult obesity. Group interventions addressing the psychosocial sequelae of ACES using a trauma-informed approach for adults are well described in the literature. There is also a significant body of literature on the efficacy and proposed structure of interventions addressing weight reduction in adults.

Use of evidence-based strategies to promote mammography among medically underserved women.

Background: Several web-based resources recommend effective intervention strategies to promote use of mammography but there is limited information on whether the strategies are used, particularly by organizations that serve medically underserved women.

Purpose: In 2010, data collected by the Avon Breast Health Outreach Program (BHOP) were analyzed to examine the diffusion of evidence-based intervention strategies among funded organizations.

Methods: Data on intervention strategies were obtained from a 2009 survey of Avon BHOP organizations funded during 2006-2009.
