Improving peripheral artery disease screening and treatment: a screening, diagnosis, and treatment tool for use across multiple care settings.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an atherosclerotic disease that contributes to significant morbidity and mortality, including loss of limb, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and death. Treatment options are often underutilized. A major limiting factor in PAD care is the ability to efficiently identify and screen at-risk patients.

Association and disparities of food insecurity and exposure to violence: analysis of the National Survey of Children's Health.

Food insecurity and its many associated risk factors increase parental stress, which are strongly correlated with an increased risk of child abuse and maltreatment. Research now identifies being witness to domestic abuse as a form of child maltreatment, and exposure to violence in the community has been shown to result in similar long-term impacts.
