A Rapid Systemic Review Of The Significance Of Parental Awareness Of Children’S Oral Health On The Prevalence Of Dental Caries In Saudi Arabia, Nasser Albishi
Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
Dental caries in children has been identified as a public health challenge in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Among those factors associated with their presence is the role that parents play in their children’s oral hygiene practices and how much it affects their development. The knowledge and awareness levels of the parents when it comes to maintaining proper oral hygiene in their children are still limited in the KSA, and a well-rounded characterization of these levels is needed for the problem to be addressed. Hence, a rapid systematic review was conducted to synthesize the evidence from published articles and …

The Food Environment: Examining The Proximity Of Crimes To Food Stores, Nina Diamond
Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
Food insecurity is a persistent and widespread issue in the United States. Individuals who are food insecure are more likely to develop chronic diseases due to their dietary habits, which tend to consist of ultra-processed foods. For many individuals, these habits are not by choice, but are the result of a lack of access to healthy foods. Both geographical and financial access issues often lead to these unhealthy diet choices, which increase an individual’s risk of morbidity and mortality. While the issue of food insecurity is complex, it is not often observed in the context of violence. Many food insecure …
Maternal Healthcare Utilization Among Pregnant Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence: A Rapid Systematic Review, Gabrielle Harb
Maternal Healthcare Utilization Among Pregnant Women Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence: A Rapid Systematic Review, Gabrielle Harb
Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) impacts millions of pregnant women every year, and IPV is associated with adverse maternal and infant health outcomes. Previous studies have suggested that women experiencing IPV during pregnancy are less likely to access maternal healthcare services. Still, no consensus has been found, particularly within understudied low-and middle-income countries. This rapid systematic review identifies and examines evidence related to maternal healthcare utilization among women experiencing IPV in studies from 2015 to the present. A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Scopus, and 1797 unique records were identified. After reviewing abstracts and full texts, 28 studies were …

Fall Reduction Strategies For Older Community Dwelling Americans, Heather L. Roach
Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
Each year millions of older adults fall, and one out of five falls result in an injury that requires medical attention. In 2015 medical costs associated with falls was over $50 billion. Falls and specifically fall related injury in the older American population is a public health burden. There are many modalities that are implemented to reduce falls including management of underlying medical conditions, exercise regimens, supplementation, medication modifications, and home modifications. This project worked to identify which modalities had the greatest impact on falls. The goal of the information obtained is to inform practitioners and public health professionals that …
The Impact Of Doulas On Birth Outcomes: A Rapid Systematic Review, Heather Higgins
The Impact Of Doulas On Birth Outcomes: A Rapid Systematic Review, Heather Higgins
Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
Although most pregnancies in the United States are uncomplicated, adverse birth outcomes are more common in the U.S. than any other developed country (CDC, n.d.). The use of doula care during labor and delivery has shown to be effective in reducing adverse birth outcomes. A rapid systematic review was conducted to consolidate information on the effectiveness doulas have on certain adverse birth outcomes. These adverse birth outcomes included, low-birth weight, preterm birth, caesarean sections, shorter laboring time, and epidural use. The review of the literature was conducted using PubMed and search terms. PRISMA guidelines were followed and out of the …
Process Mapping: The "One Best Way" To Improve Public Health Interventions, Adam T. Thompson
Process Mapping: The "One Best Way" To Improve Public Health Interventions, Adam T. Thompson
Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
Process mapping (PM) is a quality improvement (QI) systems-level intervention used to analyze workflows in a variety of industries. PM is a robust improvement strategy but there is poor evidence for its effectiveness within healthcare QI projects. Evidence also suggests that there is variation in the implementation of PM likely affecting the value derived from the practice. In 2021, Antonacci, et al., proposed an empirical framework to guide the implementation, reporting, and evaluating of PM within healthcare QI projects. Informed by the empirical framework for process mapping (EFPM), the aim of this capstone was to enhance the value derived from …

Master of Public Health Capstone Presentations
In South Asia, many girls and women experience period poverty which is defined to be a lack of access to or affordability of menstrual hygiene products, washing facilities, and disposal methods. There is also a lack of education and conversation that surrounds menstruation, leading to there being stigma and taboo. With an absence of Wash, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities, women and girls in South Asia are unable to change their pads safely and privately, have access to clean water, and successfully manage their hygiene and health. Apart from the lack of education and WASH facilities, there are also unfair …
