The impact of multi-target stool DNA testing in clinical practice in the United States: A real-world evidence retrospective study.

Widely endorsed screening modalities for colorectal cancer (CRC) include structural visualization (e.g. colonoscopy) and stool-based tests including multitarget stool DNA (mt-sDNA), fecal immunochemical tests (FIT), or high-sensitivity guaiac-based fecal occult blood tests (gFOBT).

An electronic health record-based interoperable eReferral system to enhance smoking Quitline treatment in primary care.

Objective: The study sought to determine whether interoperable, electronic health record-based referral (eReferral) produces higher rates of referral and connection to a state tobacco quitline than does fax-based referral, thus addressing low rates of smoking treatment delivery in health care.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-three primary care clinics from 2 healthcare systems (A and B) in Wisconsin were randomized, unblinded, over 2016-2017, to 2 smoking treatment referral methods: paper-based fax-to-quit (system A =6, system B = 6) or electronic (eReferral; system A = 5, system B = 6). Both methods referred adult patients who smoked to the Wisconsin Tobacco Quitline.

Fit Kids/Fit Families: a report on a countywide effort to promote healthy behaviors.

Introduction: Funded by the Wisconsin Partnership Fund for a Healthy Future and Aurora Health Care, Fit Kids/Fit Families (FKFF) is a multidisciplinary, family system approach to weight management that was developed and implemented by a community-academic partnership with the goal of reducing and preventing childhood overweight and obesity, increasing physical activity, and improving overall family health.

Program Description: A sample of Washington County children and their families participated in this 12-week program, which promoted healthy lifestyle changes. Data was collected pre- and post-intervention on age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body circumference measurements, child and family habits, and child self-esteem.
