The influence of prior COVID-19 diagnosis on concussion recovery outcomes.

Objective: While the clinical presentations of COVID-19 and concussion are not identical, there is a significant overlap in symptomology (e.g., fatigue, headache) and neurological deficits (e.

Age-Related Differences in OMNI-RPE Scale Validity in Youth: A Longitudinal Analysis.

Unlabelled: RPE scales are used in exercise science research to assess perceptions of physical effort. RPE scale validity has been evaluated by assessing correlations between RPE and physiological indicators. Cross-sectional studies indicate that RPE scale validity improves with age; however, this has not been studied longitudinally.

A qualitative study to understand cultural factors affecting a mother's decision to breast or formula feed.

Background: The presence of barriers is not sufficient to explain breastfeeding rate disparities. A relatively unexplored area in coping with breastfeeding barriers is culture.

Objective: This research aims to better understand the role of culture in a woman's infant feeding decision by using race and socioeconomic status as indicators of culture.

Physical activity and acculturation among U.S. Latinas of childbearing age.

The majority of Latinas of childbearing age is not sufficiently active; a significant health disparity, and is at risk for deleterious health consequences. The study's objectives were to explore acculturation and associated factors' effect on engagement in physical activity (PA) among Latinas. Based on data (2008-2011 National Health Interview Survey; N = 7,278), multinomial logistic models predicted odds of adherence to 2008 PA Guidelines for Americans.

Observational learning by individuals with autism: a review of teaching strategies.

Observational learning is the process used to explain the acquisition of novel behaviors or performance of previously acquired behaviors under novel conditions after observing the behavior of another person and the consequences that follow the behavior. Many learners with autism do not attend to environmental stimuli at a level sufficient to learn a range of prosocial behaviors through observation of others. Modeling, group or dyadic instruction, and explicit observation training can improve the extent to which individuals with autism learn through observation.

Predictors of depressive symptoms among Hispanic women in South Florida.

U.S. Hispanics, especially women, experience a disproportionate amount of disease burden for depression.

The influence of community context on how coalitions achieve HIV-preventive structural change.

Community coalition action theory (CCAT) depicts the processes and factors that affect coalition formation, maintenance, institutionalization, actions, and outcomes. CCAT proposes that community context affects coalitions at every phase of development and operation. We analyzed data from 12 Connect to Protect coalitions using inductive content analysis to examine how contextual factors (e.

A quality improvement study using fishbone analysis and an electronic medical records intervention to improve care for children with asthma.

Despite expert guidelines, gaps persist in quality of care for children with asthma. This study sought to identify barriers and potential interventions to improve compliance to national asthma prevention guidelines at a single academic pediatric primary care clinic. Using the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) quality improvement framework and fishbone analysis, several barriers to consistent asthma processes and possible interventions were identified by a group of key stakeholders.
