Peer Learning in a College Student Health and Well-Being Expo: Together Again After Returning From Remote Learning.

Returning to campus after remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us were excited about participating in interactive, hands-on health promotion for students. In response, our Office of Wellness Promotion planned a student health and well-being expo in partnership with the university's College of Health Sciences (CHS). Faculty were invited to involve their students in the delivery.

Exploring acculturative stress and family dynamics in African immigrant students in the US: implications for mental health.

Objectives: African immigrants represent a rapidly growing immigrant group in the US, yet relatively little is known about influences on the health of this group. This is a particularly important oversight since adaptation to life in the United States can have deleterious effects on health due to the stress associated with immigrant and minority status as well as separation from family abroad. The present study explores how African immigrants experience acculturative stress - the stress-inducing elements of life as an immigrant - and the mental health implications of these experiences in light of home country values and conceptions of health.

Maternal and child patterns of Medicaid retention: a prospective cohort study.

Background: We sought to determine whether maternal Medicaid retention influences child Medicaid retention because caregivers play a critical role in assuring children's health access.

Methods: We conducted a longitudinal prospective cohort study of a convenience sample of 604 Medicaid-eligible mother-child dyads followed from the infant's birth through 24 months of age with parent surveys. Individual enrollment status was abstracted from administrative Medicaid eligibility files.

Commission on Cancer (CoC) CP3R Measures for Colon Cancer Evaluation of Delaware Cancer Registry Data.

This study evaluates the Delaware Cancer Registry's 2010-2014 colon cancer data using Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports (CP3R) quality of care measures developed by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. The CP3R measures assess: 1) the number of regional lymph nodes removed and pathologically examined for resected colon cancer (12RLN); and 2) the provision of adjuvant chemotherapy for Stage III patients (ACT). Research was conducted in the Delaware Health Information Network and with hospital cancer registries for cases missing values for provision of chemotherapy.

Do changes in socio-demographic characteristics impact up-to-date immunization status between 3 and 24 months of age? A prospective study among an inner-city birth cohort in the United States.

Introduction: Low-income child populations remain under-vaccinated. Our objective was to determine differences in the relative importance of maternal health literacy and socio-demographic characteristics that often change during early childhood on up-to-date (UTD) immunization status among a low-income population.

Methods: We performed secondary data analysis of a longitudinal prospective cohort study of 744 Medicaid-eligible mother-infant dyads recruited at the time of the infant's birth from an inner-city hospital in the United States and surveyed every 6 months for 24 months.
