Implementing Health Policy Initiatives: An Effective Breastfeeding Teaching Strategy for Prelicensure Nursing Students.

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is recommended by all health professional organizations. However, women cite lack of support from health professionals as a barrier to breastfeeding. Foundational nursing education does not prepare students (future nurses) to support breastfeeding women.

Implementing a Breastfeeding Toolkit for Nursing Education.

All health professional organizations recommend exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months, with continued breastfeeding for 1 year or more after birth. Women cite lack of support from health professionals as a barrier to breastfeeding. Meanwhile, breastfeeding education is not considered essential to basic nursing education and students are not adequately prepared to support breastfeeding women.

Are there neighborhood effects on young adult neighborhood attainment? Evidence from mixed-logit models.

Studies of racial residential attainment show an intergenerational transmission of racial contexts from youth to adulthood, but it is unclear why this transmission is so robust. It is possible that experiences in racial contexts during youth have lasting effects on neighborhood selection in adulthood, but evidence for this claim has come from research using statistical methods that suffer from problems of ecological dependence and conflation of other neighborhood characteristics. In this study, we address these limitations using mixed-logit models, a form of discrete choice analyses, allowing us to control for differences across metropolitan areas and for multiple characteristics of neighborhoods that may affect the selection of destination neighborhoods.

Sevoflurane concentration available from the universal drawover vaporizer.

Field anesthesia can have special considerations because of the possibly primitive conditions. The drawover vaporizer has enjoyed increased interest because of the ability to deliver an anesthetic without electricity or compressed gases. Sevoflurane is a potentially attractive field agent because of its relative insolubility in blood, giving more rapid control over anesthetic depth.
