Hispanic residential ethnic density and depression in post–acute coronary syndrome patients: Re-thinking the role of social support

“…Similarly, when various measures of neighborhood advantage (i.e., neighborhood income, space, household values, etc.) are controlled, most (Gerst et al, 2011a; Halpern & Nazroo, 2000a; Lee, 2009a; Mair et al, 2010b; Neeleman et al, 2001; G V Ostir et al, 2003b; Yuan et al, 2007) but not all studies (Henderson et al, 2005; Mair et al, 2010a; Yuan et al, 2007) have found that the relationship of ethnic density to depression remained significant for at least one ethnic subgroup. Two studies (Mair et al, 2010b; Vogt Yuan, 2007) report that the negative relationship of ethnic density to depressive symptoms disappears when measures of neighborhood advantage are controlled, whereas in a majority of the studies the relationship persists (Das-Munshi et al, 2010a; Gerst et al, 2011a; Halpern & Nazroo, 2000a; Mair et al, 2010b; Mintz & Schuartz, 1964; G V Ostir et al, 2003b; Vogt Yuan, 2007; Walters et al, 2008).…”

Integrating Maternal and Children's Oral Health Promotion into Nursing and Midwifery Practice- A Systematic Review

“…[24–28, 32, 33, 35, 36, 39, 40] Four trials, however, were “quasi-experimental” with a pre-test/post-test design [20, 21, 34, and 37], two had equivalent [22, 29] and one had non-equivalent comparison group . [38] One included study was historically controlled non-randomized [23] and another was ecologic. [30] Table 1 …”

“…Seven home visiting programs [20, 23, 26&27, 36, 37, 38, 39] were reviewed as well whereas one intervention included both home visits and consultations at well-baby clinic. [22] Two studies [21, 38] reported including both urban and rural settings in their recruitment, five [23, 30, 34, 35, 37] were restricted to rural sites and three [25, 26, 28] to urbanized or metropolitan areas. Table 1 …”

“…In the “Into the Mouths of Babies Program” (IMBP) in North Carolina, panel data from oral health surveillance system was used for 946, 911 kindergarten children. [30] In all included trials, the age range of the enrolled children ranged from zero to five years; only five programs [20, 22, 24, 26&27, 28] started immediately after childbirth whereas one study [38] divided the participants into two different age groups(0–2 and 3–5 years). Table 1 In some of the included studies [21, 23, 30, 31, and 37] the recruited children were already enrolled in existing programs delivering early childhood healthcare services such as Medicaid, Early Head start, or Women Infant Care Programs.…”

“…In ten trials oral health kits including toothbrush, paste and feeding cups were given to enrollees in the intervention groups. [28, 35, 36, 38] Fluoride varnish application by nursing staff was incorporated in four programs. [21, 23, 30, and 31] For enhancing dental attendance, participants were either scheduled for dental check-ups or received dental registration vouchers and or dentists’ contacts.…”
