Adverse Cardiovascular Function Secondary To Inappropriate Exogenous Androgenic Anabolic Steroid Usage In Young Adult Males, Nicholle Rothengass
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
• In today’s society body image and athletic performance are emphasized and influenced by peers’ perception. The inappropriate use of AAS in young males has steadily increased over the past few decades. The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term effects AAS have upon the cardiovascular system. The review of literature will explore studies that identify long-term abuse of injected AAS, which are used by adult male athletes’ ages 18-40 compared to those equivalent male athletes who have never used any form of drugs or steroids and their effects on the cardiovascular system. The researcher plans to analyze …

Substance Abuse Amongst High School And College Students, Herman Kalsi
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Substance abuse among young adults is hardly a new trend. About 50% of full-time college students binge drink or abuse prescription drugs, 25% of which meet the definition of having substance abuse or a dependence. That is three times the rate of the general population. Estimated overall total cost of substance abuse in US is $600 billion annually. Ease of access is a main contributor to drug abuse amongst college students.
Implementing Developmental Screening Per Aap Guidelines, Douglas Handley
Implementing Developmental Screening Per Aap Guidelines, Douglas Handley
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
"Fewer than half of the nation's pediatricians conduct systematic surveillance of young children's development… time and cost are among the barriers." Missing developmental delay leads to further attenuation of the problem and can lead to additional developmental problems. Developmental delay can often be corrected or treated to reduce the impact it has on the child. The AAP suggests "developmental surveillance" at every well child visit and standardized "developmental screening" at WCC 9 months, 18 months, and 24 or 30 month.

Improving Vaccination Rates At Uvmmc Family Medicine, Berlin, Emily G. Jones
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Practitioners don't know current vaccination rates for their practice. Some current reported rates look incorrect, according to the Medical Director. Other reports show areas for improvement. One problem is that patients no longer in the practice remain in the system and decrease rates; another problem is that paper records were loaded manually by persons without medical training when the electronic medical record.
Implications Of Long-Term Proton Pump Inhibitor Use: Promoting Step-Down Therapy For Management Of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease In The Outpatient Setting, Sonam Kapadia
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Per the International Montreal Consensus, gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is defined as a "condition which develops when the reflux of stomach contents causes troublesome symptoms or complications". GERD is the most common disease of the gastrointestinal tract with an estimated prevalence affecting 20% of the Western population. According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, 38.53 million annual outpatient visits are related to GERD. The ABIM Foundation's "Choosing Wisely" initiative in collaboration with the American Gastroenterological Association draws attention to the evidence based recommendation: "For pharmacological treatment of patients with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), long-term acid suppression therapy (proton pump …

Screening For Developmental Delays In Brandon Vt, Flang Nguyen
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Brandon Medical Center (BMC) currently uses the developmental milestones screening tool built into their electronic medical record to look for developmental delays. Usage of the tool has been awkward, inconvenient, and unmanageable in the office setting. BMC, being the main health care provider for newborns, infants, and toddlers of Brandon, VT, is looking to improve their screening systems for developmental delays during well-child visits
Diagnosis And Treatment Of Ptsd And Other Service-Related Conditions In The Veteran Patient Population, Christopher Mayhew
Diagnosis And Treatment Of Ptsd And Other Service-Related Conditions In The Veteran Patient Population, Christopher Mayhew
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
There are approximately 48,602 veterans living in the state of Vermont with roughly 20% residing in Chittenden County. According to national VA statistics, only 40% of the veteran population receives some health care from the VA. Currently UVM providers receive no formal training in delivering care to veterans and there are no military history templates or PTSD screening tools in PRISM. Giving community providers access to basic VA tools, information and resources will help improve the quality of care they offer to their veteran patients.
Barriers To Recovery For Bangor's Buprenorphine Patients, John R. Mclaren, Erin Keller
Barriers To Recovery For Bangor's Buprenorphine Patients, John R. Mclaren, Erin Keller
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
There are several buprenorphine providers at EMMc's Center for Family Medicine serving the greater Bangor, ME region - an area of substantial opiate use. Among the patient population of outpatient buprenorphine users, both locally and nationally, there are high rates of relapse (~32%). In order to decrease relapse rates, it's first imperative to conduct a baseline review of the current buprenorphine population to identify specific types of patients who are at higher risk of relapse. By understanding the barriers to recovery, the office hopes to apply an intervention to the current program, targeting this local demographic more effectively.
Mental Health Awareness Among High School And College Students: Barriers To Knowledge, Accessibility, And Utilization Of Resources, Imelda Muller
Mental Health Awareness Among High School And College Students: Barriers To Knowledge, Accessibility, And Utilization Of Resources, Imelda Muller
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
In 75% of individuals with mental health illness, age of onset is prior to 24. High School and College Students often face unique life stressors that increase their vulnerability to mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and suicide. Students facing mental health issues in Danbury often do not receive adequate support. This is partially attributable to lack of knowledge about mental health, stigma, and lack of available mental health resources specific for this age group. Students who do not receive these supports during times of vulnerability perform more poorly in school, have lower rates of completing high school and college, …

Increasing The Recognition Of Generalized Anxiety Disorder In Primary Care, Sarah Rosner
Increasing The Recognition Of Generalized Anxiety Disorder In Primary Care, Sarah Rosner
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
National Comorbidity Survey has shown that anxiety disorders are the most frequent disorders in the population, with a lifetime prevalence of 28.8%, and a 5.7% lifetime prevalence of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) specifically. The presence of anxiety disorders contribute in an additive fashion to poor function, reduced quality of life, and more sick days from work. Despite being as common and impairing as depressive disorders, anxiety disorders have received much less attention in terms of the media, research, and public health efforts, and are often undetected and undertreated. Only a minority of patients with anxiety, 15-36%, are recognized in primary …

Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Measles is a highly contagious disease with potential complications ranging from diarrhea, pneumonia, otits media, uveitis, and encephalitis. Since the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1967, incidence of measles in the United States has drastically decreased: by 1985, number of cases had fallen by 99%, by 2000, measles was declared to be eliminated from the US. Over the last decade, measles cases per year has been limited to a median of 70. In recent years however, the U.S. has seen an alarming rate of measles cases. The increasing number of measles cases per year in the U.S. highlights the …

Education In Over The Counter Medications, For High School Freshmen, Ian Crane
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Over the medications offer numerous benefits, allowing short term treatment of symptoms, and reducing unnecessary Doctor’s visits for things like viral illness. Yet these medications also have potential for misuse. Roughly 10% of Danbury High School students abused OTC medications in 2013.
Allergic Rhinitis: Treatment Of A Seasonal Problem, John Whittier
Allergic Rhinitis: Treatment Of A Seasonal Problem, John Whittier
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Allergic rhinitis affects up to 30% of the population yet there is evidence that it is under treated and misdiagnosed. Allergy symptoms closely mimic other common illnesses and most medication used to treat seasonal allergies is now available over the counter. This shift in therapy means that patients are now self-medicating with little knowledge of what they are actually treating. Therefore this project aims to clear common misconceptions that prevail in the general population of Vermont as well as provide some guidance on the types of medications used to treat seasonal allergies.

Eleven patients were contacted, one of whom had since followed through with the CHT. Responses from the ten patients who met the criteria and …
Increasing Naloxone Availability, Brian Till
Increasing Naloxone Availability, Brian Till
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Administration of naloxone is credited with the reversal of at least 10,000 opioid overdoses in the United States between 1996-2010 alone.[i] Moreover, intranasal naloxone has proven an equally effective route of drug administration when compared to IV dosing in emergent prehospital settings[ii], and retrospective studies have shown no significant difference in efficacy between doses delivered by healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals.[iii] Despite these facts, and broad protections provided to physicians prescribing naloxone and citizens administering naloxone outlined in Vermont Act 75, few if any Vermont physicians have incorporated prescribing naloxone into their practice. This project intended …

Osteoporosis: Prevention, Screening, And Treatment In The Primary Care Setting, Jeanne T. Gosselin
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Osteoporosis, with its related fragility fractures, is largely a preventable disorder, not an inevitable part of aging. Through effective education, screening, and treatement in the primary care setting, it may be possible to curb the impending rise of osteoporosis and costly fractures as the population ages. A time-conserving patient education pamphlet on osteoporosis was developed for a family medicine practice in central Vermont. The educational intervention is sensitive to the time constraints of a busy practice and may provide a much needed foundation for osteoporosis education in the primary care setting.

Pediatric Lipid Screening Guidelines: Information For Patients And Families, Erin R. Pichiotino, Mph
Pediatric Lipid Screening Guidelines: Information For Patients And Families, Erin R. Pichiotino, Mph
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Universal Pediatric Lipid Screening Guidelines are currently based on expert opinion only. Bright Futures/American Academy of Pediatrics currently recommends screening all patients ages 9-11 and again at ages 17-21. The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), however, concludes the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against routine screening. This discordance leaves ambiguity for implementation in Family Medicine practices in Vermont. A survey of providers at Milton Family Practice showed that only 14% of providers at Milton Family Practice regularly perform lipid screening on their pediatric patients.

Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Sleep Apnea is a common and shockingly under-diagnosed disorder. OSA has various health consequences, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Many patients don't ask about OSA due to lack of awareness and an intimidation about the process of care for OSA.

About one half of pregnancies in the United States are unintended (mistimed or unwanted). Only 54% of pregnancies in Vermont are planned and only 29% of women in Vermont have talked to a health care worker about healthy pregnancies prior to conception. Physicians are equipped to provide the necessary information to women about preconception care and contraception, but do not regularly have these conversations with the majority of their patients. One Key Question is an initiative developed by the Oregon Foundation for Reproductive Health that allows providers to screen women patients for their pregnancy intention in the next year and …

Managing Medications: Promoting Awareness Of The Importance Of Accurate Medication Lists, Christopher Meserve
Managing Medications: Promoting Awareness Of The Importance Of Accurate Medication Lists, Christopher Meserve
Family Medicine Clerkship Student Projects
Extensive medication lists are a problem everywhere throughout the United States. As a rural state that has a rapidly aging population, these lists will continue to grow and the added aspect of lack of access to services (whether via the internet or transportation) makes managing these medication lists harder for Maine’s population. The perspectives of patients at the CMMC Family Medicine Clinic were obtained through an anonymous survey, and two interviews with community members were conducted to identify specific issues. The feedback and responses from both of these methods were incorporated into an informational pamphlet that was distributed within the …
