Social And Economic Impacts Of Snac, Sara Marshall, Carson Johnson

Student Research Symposium

Food security is a common concern among college students.¹ Compared to 10% of U.S. households experiencing food insecurity², many college campuses report food insecurity prevalence about four times the national average.³ Approximately 39% of Utah's higher education student's face food insecurity.⁴ The stability of food for an individual can greatly impact different aspects of life including social and economic factors, such as social relationships.⁵

Impact Of Snac On Academic Success, Maeci Armstrong, Alivia Fonnesbeck

Student Research Symposium

This study aimed to address the impact of the intervention of SNAC. Based on the results, the USU SNAC pantry has made a substantial positive impact on students’ academic performance.

The main themes of participants’ comments indicate that SNAC helped them have more energy, increased focus, and increased time spent at school. These results are consistent with other studies that discuss the impact food pantries have on students’ academic success [1].

Participants expressed gratitude for the alleviation of food insecurity stressors, allowing them to better concentrate on their studies. These findings resonate with prior research highlighting the crucial role food …

Benefits Of A Community-Based Occupational Therapy Wellness Program For Unhoused Or Recently Housed Individuals, Peyton Babin, Bailey Hempfill, Megan Talamo, Sloane Tatarski

School of Health Professions Research Day

Introduction. There have been no prior studies that have specifically researched the benefits of a community-based occupational therapy wellness program with the unhoused and recently housed population. We find it important to close the gap in research, as occupational therapists are well-equipped to work with the unhoused and recently housed population.

Purpose. To determine if there is a need for a community based occupational therapy wellness program for unhoused and recently housed individuals.

Methods. Six participants who were unhoused or recently housed completed the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and semi structured interviews. Interview transcripts were reviewed separately using the …

Cognitive And Economic Development, John Luke Gallup

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

A burgeoning literature finds that early childhood risk factors have large causal effects on individuals' cognitive development, education and earnings, but has not assessed the impact on the economy as a whole.

Cognitive ability is the foundation of human capital and the capacity to learn. The risk factors for poor cognitive development are very high in many countries. Each risk factor also causes child mortality, making child survival a viable proxy for good cognitive development conditions. The cognitive development of current workers happened decades earlier when they were children, providing a predetermined correlate. Controlling for country characteristics, income levels and …

Knowledge Of Medicaid Expansion To Recent And Undocumented Immigrants Among Oregon Mexican-Origin Latinos: (Work In Progress), Nancy Ledezma, Grace Parra, Alejandra Nunez, Dr. Blair Darney

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

Background

Recent and undocumented immigrants are explicitly excluded from federal Medicaid and state insurance exchanges. The first phase of Healthier Oregon was implemented in July 2022 and expanded Medicaid (OHP) benefits to undocumented immigrants ages 19-25 or 55 and older. The second phase was implemented in July 2023 and extended benefits to everyone regardless of age. We assessed understanding of Healthier Oregon among Mexican-origin Latinos. We hypothesize that many potentially eligible people may not know about the program, if they qualify, or how to apply.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study in collaboration with the General Consulate of Mexico. Our …

Understanding Variation In Provider Referral Rates To Early Intervention For Children With Developmental Delays, Gabriella Tangkilisan, Zoe Kilmer, Michelle Owens, Benjamin Sanders, Katharine Zuckerman

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

Background:

Early detection and treatment of developmental disabilities (DD), including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), improves language, IQ, and adaptive outcomes. Guidelines recommend immediate referral to Early Intervention (public developmental therapy services) upon positive ASD/DD screening in infant/toddler well child checks. However, children screening positive for ASD/DD are not always referred for Early Intervention services. This project aimed to understand why pediatricians do and do not refer children with positive DD/ASD screens to early intervention.

Methods:

We conducted qualitative interviews with pediatricians who participated in a randomized trial investigating family navigation for children with autism risk. We determined pediatrician referral rates …

A Window Of Opportunity: Describing Participants Engaged In A Comprehensive Perinatal Care Model To Treat Substance Use Disorder During Pregnancy, Christina Jäderholm

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

In 2019, 12% of pregnant persons were estimated to use psychoactive substances, the highest rate in US history. Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic, relapsing condition, and while pregnancy presents a unique opportunity for SUD intervention, research on pregnant and postpartum SUD patient experiences is vital for informing perinatal systems of care. The purpose of this presentation is to describe a sample from SUN, a comprehensive perinatal care program for pregnant persons with SUD in North Carolina.

Methods

We abstracted medical records (n=29), surveyed participants (n=29), and conducted two focus groups (n=7). Medical records provided participant demographics; medical, social, …

Exploring Decolonial And Indigenous Mental Health Framework And Practice To Address Complex Trauma Among Palestinian Youth Living Under Violence Of Settler-Colonialism, Vivian L. Duong, Corrin Murphy

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

The growing settler colonial project of Israel forced indigenous Palestinians to flee from their homeland to further the Zionist movement of establishing a Jewish-majority state. The forced dispossession and displacement of Palestinians at this time was referred to as the Nakba, or catastrophe (Masalha, 2002). From 1947 and 1949, approximately 750,000 Palestinians from a population of 1.9 million were made refugees (Al Jazeera, 2017). Also referred to as the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, Zionists forcibly took over 78 percent of Palestine, destroyed about 530 villages and cities, and killed around 15,000 Palestinians including more than 70 massacres (Al Jazeera, 2017). …

Supporting Self-Managed Abortion Care In “Practice Not Premise”: Provider Perspectives, Roles, And Referral Pathways In India, Laura E. Jacobson Mph, Caila Brander, P. Balasubramanian, Sruthi Chandrasekaran, Blair Darney, Julia Goodman, Ruvani Jayaweera, Caitlin Gerdts

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

Objective: Describe provider perspectives and roles in self-managed abortion (SMA) in India and identify referral pathways to facility- and self-managed abortion care.

Methods: We conducted a qualitative study of 33 semi-structured interviews with a range of providers (medical, community health, and pharmacy) in India. We conducted a thematic analysis and identified referral pathways including the type of provider, the abortion care modality (in-facility or SMA), and the reason.

Results: Referrals to facility-managed abortion care were common. Providers' perception of SMA safety coupled with­ liability concerns resulted in discouraging clients from seeking SMA. Nonetheless, participants acknowledged three areas where providers played …

Impact Of Two Shift Schedules On Post-Shift Blood Pressure In Firefighters, Ayeisha H. Haswarey

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

Background: Firefighters have an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease compared to the general population. Blunted blood pressure (BP) dipping during nocturnal sleep is associated with increased cardiometabolic disease morbidity/mortality. Shift work can alter diurnal BP oscillation, but the extent of alteration by different schedules remains debated. No study to date has examined firefighting shift schedules, necessitating a longitudinal evaluation to begin to understand their implications for cardiometabolic health. Thus, this preliminary analysis compares how two common schedules (24/48 hours on/off vs. 1/3/2/3 days on/off) impact post-shift BP and dipping in 20 firefighters.

Methods: 20 participants (10% female; 25-54 years of …
