Neighborhood characteristics, such as healthy food availability, have been associated with consumption of healthy food. Little is known about the influence of the local food environment on other dietary choices, such as the decision to consume organic food. We analyzed the associations between organic produce consumption and demographic, socioeconomic and neighborhood characteristics in 4,064 participants aged 53–94 in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis using log-binomial regression models. Participants were classified as consuming organic produce if they reported eating organic fruits and vegetables either “sometimes” or “often or always”. Women were 21% more likely to consume organic produce than men (confidence …


Assessing Critical Access Hospital (Cah) Assets & Capabilities For Recruiting And Retaining Physicians: The North Dakota Cah Community Apgar Program, David Schmitz, Ed Baker, Aaron Ortiz May 2012

Assessing Critical Access Hospital (Cah) Assets & Capabilities For Recruiting And Retaining Physicians: The North Dakota Cah Community Apgar Program, David Schmitz, Ed Baker, Aaron Ortiz

Edward T. Baker

The Critical Access Hospital Community Apgar Questionnaire (CAH CAQ) has identified 50 factors important to recruitment of family physicians to rural communities. This presentation will compare CAH CAQ results across North Dakota and various rural states. These comparisons may be used to share best practices across CAHs. In addition, statewide education, policy and research initiatives can be developed from these data.


Transforming Learning: Using A Multi-User Virtual Environment For Simulation, Michelle Honey, Kelley Connor Nov 2010

Transforming Learning: Using A Multi-User Virtual Environment For Simulation, Michelle Honey, Kelley Connor

Kelley Connor

Simulations are well known in education, including health professional education. Traditionally simulations have included role plays and demonstration rooms where skills can be practiced and more recently high-fidelity mannequins have lifted the level of simulation. The use of the Internet has allowed synchronous learning that permits sharing experiences and social interactivity. One specific option that has emerged which has the potential to transform health professional clinical education is the use of multi-user virtual environments for simulated learning. A pilot using Second Life, a web-based virtual environment, to teach haemorrhage management to undergraduate nurses is described. Findings include that with pre-simulation …
