- Frequent consumption of fermented carbohydrates and bottle feeding are linked to early childhood caries (ECC), but breastfeeding's impact on children's oral health remains unclear in the U.S.
- A study using a national survey sampled 24,655 parents of children aged 6 months to 5 years to investigate the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and oral health disorders (OHD).
- Results showed that exclusive breastfeeding was initially associated with a lower likelihood of OHD, but this relationship lost significance after adjusting for factors like maternal health and race, with notable disparities in OHD prevalence observed across different ethnic groups.
In 2020, STEM training programs across the country were challenged to provide support to students during a nation-wide shutdown of research institutions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Five U.S.

We aimed to: (a) assess COVID-19 CmI by race, (b) determine the Black-White case fatality (CF) and risk differentials, and (c) apply explanatory model for mortality risk differentials.
