Socioecological Determinants of Health and the Quality of Colonoscopy in Rural Alabama.

Background: Rural patients experience a higher incidence of and mortality from colorectal cancer. Ensuring high-quality screening is essential to address these disparities.

Objective: To investigate whether socioecological determinants of health are associated with colonoscopy quality in rural Alabama.

Encapsulation of the vanadium substituted Keggin polyoxometalates [α-PVWO] and [α-PVWO] in HKUST-1.

Two POM@MOF hybrid materials composed of a copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu(CHO)(HO)] (HKUST-1) encapsulating vanadium-substituted Keggin polyoxometalates (POM), [α-PVWO] () and [α-PVWO] (), were prepared and characterized. PVW@HKUST-1 and PVW@HKUST-1 were synthesized hydrothermally by self-assembly of HKUST-1 in the presence of the preformed POMs, [α-PVWO] and [α-PVWO], respectively. The two POM@MOF composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, TGA, BET surface area analysis and FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy.

Use of Standardized Nursing Terminologies to Capture Social Determinants of Health Data: An Integrative Review.

Addressing social determinants of health in nursing care is important for improving health outcomes and reducing health inequities. Using standardized nursing terminologies to capture this information generates sharable data that can be used to achieve these goals and create new knowledge. The purpose of this integrative review was to examine use of standardized nursing terminologies for collecting social determinants of health data in nursing research and practice.

Novel Characterization of Socioecological Determinants of Health in Rural Alabama.

Introduction: Socioecological determinants of health (SEDOHs) influence disparities in surgical outcomes. However, SEDOHs are challenging to measure, limiting our ability to address disparities. Using a validated survey (SEDOH-88), we assessed SEDOHs in three rural communities in Alabama.
