Objective Despite heterogeneity among Pacific Islanders, most studies aggregate
them regardless of origin. Thus, limited information is available about
perinatal outcomes among various subgroups of Pacific Islanders in the United
States, including immigrants from the Republic of the Marshall Islands. We
sought to evaluate perinatal outcomes among Marshallese women. Methods We
conducted a cross-sec... hiện toàn bộ

Unhealthy weight control behaviors may be precursors to clinical eating
disorders; therefore, it is important to identify these actions, and what may
trigger them, as early as possible. We used 2009 and 2011 Massachusetts Youth
Health Survey data for middle and high school students. We studied age, sex, and
race disparities related to unhealthy weight control behaviors in conjunction
with other ri... hiện toàn bộ

especially in minority populations. A unique minority group in South Dakota is
the American Indian (AI) representing about 9 % of the state’s population and
15 % of the births. The purpose of this study was to determine race differences
among White, AI, and Other Races (OR) in contact, participation, and response

Nigel J. Lee, Jeremy Neal, Nancy K. Lowe, Sue V. Kildea
Backgound Partographs are used in many labour settings to provide a pictorial
overview of a woman’s cervical dilation pattern in the first stage of labor and
to alert clinicians to slow progress possibly requiring intervention. Recent
reviews called for large trials to establish the efficacy of partographs to
improve birth outcomes whilst highlighting issues of clinician compliance with
use. Previ... hiện toàn bộ
