Barriers to Completing Delayed Breast Reconstruction Following Mastectomy: a Critical Need for Patient and Clinician Education
AbstractRates of breast reconstruction following mastectomy vary widely, and little is known about why women who originally express an interest in breast reconstruction do not receive it. Improved documentation of clinical decision-making is one of the potential benefits of the electronic health record (EHR), and may serve as a tool to enhance patient-centered, clinical outcomes research. The goals of this study were to explore patterns in delayed reconstruction (DR), identify barriers to follow through, and to determine the adequacy of EHR documentation in providing information about decision-making for breast reconstruct...

Explicit bias among fourth-year medical students.
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze themes related to explicit bias in patient-doctor relationships among fourth-year medical students. Class cohorts between 2013 and 2016 taking an online elective, "Self and Culture," submitted reflections about explicit bias. Thematic analysis was conducted on 283 student submissions totaling 849 entries until saturation. Themes included explicit bias toward patients with obesity, those who smoked, those from low-socioeconomic conditions, and, to a lesser extent, race/ethnicity. Themes related to the patient-doctor relationship included a negative impact on the relatio...

NP12 Guided Goal Setting Behaviors of Spanish and English-Speaking EFNEP Participants in a Medical Clinic Setting
To address pediatric obesity risk reduction, EFNEP was embedded within medical clinics where pediatricians referred parents to the intervention. The traditional EFNEP intervention was augmented with guided goal setting (GGS), Healthy Kids (HK) obesity risk assessments, motivational modeling, and parenting topics. This investigation focused on assessing goal-setting behaviors of EFNEP participants attending the medical clinic intervention.

Health-Related Lifestyles and Cancer-Preventive Behaviors of Medical and Nursing Students and Family Medicine Residents in Relation to the European Code Against Cancer
The objective was to evaluate the health-related lifestyles and cancer-preventive behaviors of medical and nursing students and FM residents in relation to the European Code Against Cancer (ECAC). This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study performed in Spain. Medical and nursing students and FM residents completed a self-administered questionnaire focused on health-related habits and clinical behaviors related to the ECAC. A total of 740 participants completed the questionnaire. About 12.2% (95% CI [9.8 –14.5]) were smokers, and 77.3% (95% CI [74.3–80.3]) sporadically consumed alcohol; 34.2% (95% CI [30.8–37.6]) p...

Weighing In On the Role of Pharmacy Education in Mitigating Weight Bias
Am J Pharm Educ. 2022 Jan 6:8844. doi: 10.5688/ajpe8844. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo-thirds of American adults are labeled as overweight or obese by current body mass index (BMI) weight status categories. Individuals categorized as overweight or obese are at risk for weight bias and subsequently poorer health care experiences and outcomes. However, schools and colleges of pharmacy may not be providing robust education or training to student pharmacists on weight bias, assessment of their own bias, or how to address and mitigate weight bias against patients. This commentary explores the impact of weight bias on patien...

Higher maternal education is associated with favourable growth of young children in different countries
Conclusions Higher maternal education was associated with more favourable growth in young children: lower obesity and overweight in the UK and Sweden, and lower stunting and underweight in rural China. Public health strategies to optimise growth in early childhood need to acknowledge socioeconomic factors, but possibly with a different emphasis in different settings.

A comparative effectiveness education trial for lifestyle health behavior change in African Americans
AbstractObesity and excess weight are significant clinical and public health issues that disproportionately affect African Americans because of physical inactivity and unhealthy eating. We compared the effects of alternate behavioral interventions on obesity-related health behaviors. We conducted a comparative effectiveness education trial in a community-based sample of 530 adult African Americans. Outcomes variables were physical activity (PA) and fruit and vegetable intake. Outcomes were evaluated at baseline and 1-month following interventions about shared risk factors for cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (integr...

Obesity, risk of biochemical recurrence, and prostate ‐specific antigen doubling time after radical prostatectomy: results from the SEARCH database
ConclusionWhile we confirmed that higher BMI was associated with BCR, we found no link between BMI and PSADT at the time of recurrence. Our data suggest obese men do not have more aggressive recurrences. Future studies are needed to test whether obesity predicts response to salvage therapies.
