Disparities in Mortality Between Appalachian and non-Appalachian Regions of Kentucky.

Introduction: In the opioid epidemic, the U.S. faces a significant public health crisis, with some areas of the country, such as rural and Appalachian regions, suffering more than others.

Prevalence of unmasked and improperly masked behavior in indoor public areas during the COVID-19 pandemic: Analysis of a stratified random sample from Louisville, Kentucky.

Wearing a facial mask can limit COVID-19 transmission. Measurements of communities' mask use behavior have mostly relied on self-report. This study's objective was to devise a method to measure the prevalence of improper mask use and no mask use in indoor public areas without relying on self-report.

A Framework for Integrating Arts, Science, and Social Justice Into Culturally Responsive Public Health Communication and Innovation Designs.

. To increase the scale and efficacy of health promotion practice, culturally responsive approaches to well-being are needed in both communication and practice innovation. This mixed-methods evaluation sought to identify specific mechanisms used in a promising practice model and offers a potential theoretical framework to support public health programs in integrating culture and social justice into communication and intervention programs.

High-performance air-stable single-crystal organic nanowires based on a new indolocarbazole derivative for field-effect transistors.

A new indolocabazole derivative possessing an extended aromatic core and solubilizing long aliphatic chains effectively self-assembles and crystallizes within the nanoscale channels to form single-crystal nanowires via a direct printing method from an ink solution. Single-crystal organic nanowire transistor arrays based on the π-extended indolocarbazole derivative exhibit an excellent hole mobility of 1.5 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹ and outstanding environmental stability.
