Elevating Black fathers' experiences in the National Fatherhood Initiative: Strengths and areas for improvement of 24/7 Dad® curriculum and case management services.

The Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood grant program is one of the most robust mechanisms supporting fatherhood programming in the United States, with the gold standard of care including fatherhood curriculum (e.g., 24/7 Dad®) and case management services.

Examining adverse childhood experiences and Black youth's engagement in a hospital-based violence intervention program using administrative data.

Background: Stemming from poverty and systemic racism, Black youth are disproportionately represented in hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) due to greater violence exposure. HVIPs are a critical intervention that have been shown to reduce rates of reinjury in urban hospitals and trauma centers across the United States; however, they are plagued by low enrollment and engagement rates. Few studies have examined factors related to engagement, particularly among Black youth.

[Non-ST-elevation infarction, the stepchild of interventional myocardial salvage: experience of a single institute].

Introduction: The diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction is based on ECG abnormalities besides to chest pain and dyspnea. It is caused by myocardial hypoperfusion, in most patients due to severe coronary artery narrowing or occlusion, but it can also occur without visible coronary artery changes. The non-ST-elevation form (NSTEMI) is usually associated with less complaints compared to the ST-elevation form (STEMI), the ECG changes are not so typical, so its recognition is more difficult in the early stage.

Using grounded theory to develop a theory of change for a violence intervention program.

Hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIP) are critical to interrupting the cycle of violence. These interventions are considered "complex" in that they have many mechanisms of change and related outcomes. Few HVIPs clearly identify the underlying mechanisms of intervention and explicitly link those with key outcomes however, limiting the field's ability to know what works best and for whom.

Identifying Risk Factors and Advancing Services for Violently Injured Low-Income Black Youth.

Violent exposure among low-income, Black youth has reached alarming rates. Using administrative data that centers racial equity to understand risk factors and aid in prevention is a promising approach to address this complex problem. Medical records were linked to a comprehensive county-level integrated data system using a case-control design.
