Internalizing Disorders Among Mississippi Public School Students And The Need For Intervention, Madison Varner

Honors Theses

Childhood anxiety disorders traditionally do not garner much attention in academic settings. However, many studies have concluded that approximately 1 in 8 children has an anxiety disorder by age 12, often beginning at earlier ages but going undiagnosed. Further, studies have shown that these disorders strongly affect both behavior (e.g. bullying, school attendance, and social performance) and academic performance (e.g. literacy, mathematical learning). Under several existing pieces of legislature, public schools should already be providing treatment for these disorders; however, due to financial costs and the silent nature of these internalizing disorders, few schools have any provisions for the numerous …

Dietary Supplement Safety: A 25 Year Retrospective Assessment, Bill Gurley

Oxford ICSB

Passage of the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act (DSHEA) in 1994 ushered in a new category of consumer products known as dietary supplements (DS). DSHEA’s definition of a dietary supplement encompasses a wide variety of products from multivitamins and single-ingredient botanical extracts, to “proprietary blends” of multiple botanical extracts and/or vitamins and minerals. Almost from their inception, safety concerns regarding certain categories of “proprietary blends” have plagued the DS industry. Most notable of these involved Ephedra-containing DS, whose questionable safety record led to their removal from the U.S. market in 2004 by the FDA after a 10-year period of …

Oxford ICSB

As we mark the 25th anniversary of the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act (DSHEA) it’s good to take a step back and look at some of the trends that are shaping the industry today.

Lines are blurring between the food and nutrition industries, while overlaps are growing between nutrition and cosmetics, and nutrition and pharma. Meteoric growth is being accompanied by increased scrutiny from the media and regulators into the supply chain, and greater demands from consumers for transparency around the safety and efficacy of these products.

With over a decade of reporting on the food and nutrition industries …

Session 2: "Nccih Turns 20: What Have We Learned?", Craig Hopp

Oxford ICSB

NCCIH was established in 1999 with a mandate to fund research on those practices considered outside the mainstream of western medicine. In the ensuing 20 years, NCCIH has supported a wide variety of research using many different complementary and integrative health approaches. Along the way we have learned a great deal about how best to support this research and how to get the most out of our investments. As a result, NCCIH has become much more thoughtful about how to fund clinical research as well as what sorts of biological outcomes are most relevant to our mission. This presentation will …

Session 2: "The Nih Office Of Dietary Supplements: A Twenty-Five Year Retrospective", Joseph M. Betz

Oxford ICSB

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 amended the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The DSHEA also amended the U.S. Public Health Service Act in order to establish the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) and place it within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Passage of the DSHEA assured consumer access to supplements, defined dietary supplements as a special category of foods, laid out a regulatory framework enforced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and provided a basis for creating and disseminating research to strengthen knowledge and understanding of dietary supplements.

Improving Health Outcomes For The Bottom Billion, Pascaline Dupas

Speaker Series

Many poor people around the world still do not benefit from essential health products. An estimated two-thirds of child deaths could be prevented with increased coverage of vaccines, point-of-use water treatment, iron fortification, and insecticide-treated bednets. In this lecture, Pascaline Dupas, Associate Professor of Economics at Stanford University and co-chair of the Health Sector at MIT’s Jameel Poverty Action Lab (JPAL) will examine the factors that limit the flow of products from the producer’s laboratory bench to the end users.
