Application of The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to inform understanding of barriers and facilitators to the implementation of opioid and naloxone training on college campuses.

Background: The opioid epidemic in the US continues to worsen. Opioid-only and polysubstance-involved opioid overdose deaths are increasing among adolescents and young adults, who have limited knowledge of opioid overdose prevention, including recognition and response. College campuses have infrastructure to support national-level implementation of evidence-based public health strategies for providing opioid overdose prevention and naloxone training programs among this priority population.

Characteristics of peak exposure to black carbon pollution in school, commute and home environments among school children in an urban community.

Although real-time personal exposure monitoring devices have the ability to capture a wealth of data regarding fluctuations in pollutant levels, only a few studies have defined 'peaks' in black carbon (BC) exposure utilizing high-resolution data. Furthermore, studies to assess and characterize various features of peak exposure are very limited especially among children. A better understanding of characteristics of BC peak exposure would improve our understanding of health risks associated with BC.

Personal Exposure to Black Carbon at School and Levels of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide in New York City.

Background: Schools are often located near traffic sources, leading to high levels of exposure to traffic-related air pollutants, including black carbon (BC). Thus, the school environment could play in a significant role in the adverse respiratory health of children.

Objectives: Our objective was to determine associations between personal BC levels at school and airway inflammation [i.
