Domestic Violence Court: A Grand Forks Experiment
No full textIn late 2018, the Northeast Central Judicial District, in collaboration with the Community Violence Intervention Center (CVIC) and numerous community stakeholders, implemented the first domestic violence court in North Dakota. Since inception through the end of 2023, the Grand Forks Domestic Violence Court (GFDVC) successfully processed about 250 perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) through their court-ordered programming. A team of researchers from the University of North Dakota, in collaboration with CVIC, examined case records to determine the extent to which the GFDVC was effective in reducing recidivism compared to a sample of IPV perpetrators prior to the court’s implementation. Using propensity score matching to generate the best possible comparison groups, the authors found little difference in the likelihood of recidivism between the two groups regardless of the follow-up interval examined. That said, samples were modest at 33 per group for a three-year fixed follow-up, 49 for a two-year fixed follow-up, 71 for a one-year fixed follow-up, and 76 for a six-month fixed follow-up review period. At best, a 4% reduction was observed at the two-year fixed follow-up (29% vs. 33% for the comparison group), though not statistically significant. However, there was evidence to suggest that the GFDVC did improve case processing efficiency. The average length of time from incident to completion of the GFDVC was 14 months compared to 18 months for the comparison group of matched IPV probationers. A reduction of roughly four months on average, while experiencing similar rates of recidivism, suggests the court was successful in improving efficiency without jeopardizing public safety
Infographic: Students who are American Indian: Seal!ND 2021-2022 school year
No full textEvaluation data from the North Dakota’s school-based sealant program demonstrate oral health concerns for children who are American Indian and Alaksa Native. Three out of every five students who are American Indian (60%) had untreated decay or rampant decay compared to only 36% of their non-Indigenous peers during the 2021-2022 school year
Report: North Dakota Department of Health Oral Health Program: Full evaluation of the Oral Health Program’s activities under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant, State Actions to Improve Oral Health Outcomes (year four)
Get PDFThe North Dakota Oral Health Program is situated within the Healthy and Safe Communities Section of the ND Department of Health and Human Services. Funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) State Actions to Improve Oral Health Outcomes enables the Oral Health Program to strengthen (1) a school-based dental sealant program (SEAL!ND); (2) efforts to promote and sustain optimal levels of CWF; (3) oral health surveillance; and (4) a pilot program to facilitate medical dental integration though blood pressure screening at dental offices. This report highlights programmatic work and presents the results of the formative evaluation for year four of the award. The report is designed under strict specification of the CDC
The Effect of Breastfeeding on Maternal Mental Health
Get PDFPostpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health issue impacting maternal and infant well-being, and though breastfeeding benefits both mother and baby, its effect on PPD is uncertain. This scoping literature review explores whether breastfeeding versus bottle feeding reduces PPD risk within six months postpartum using CINAHL and PubMed search of studies from the last five years on breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and PPD correlations. From 17 qualifying studies, results display exclusive and prolonged breastfeeding linked to lower PPD rates. However, the relationship is bidirectional because PPD can also prompt early breastfeeding cessation. Maternal self-efficacy, lactation support, and socioeconomic- demographic factors influence breastfeeding and mental health. Thus, breastfeeding may shield against PPD, but its challenges can also distress mothers, worsening their mental health. Healthcare providers should adopt supportive, tailored breastfeeding strategies to boost maternal mental health and breastfeeding duration, with further research needed to explore the link between breastfeeding and PPD to refine interventions for at-risk mothers
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Therapy and Substance Use Disorders
Get PDFBackground: Treatment options for SUDs fail to address the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction. Recent studies suggest that GLP-1s, including semaglutide, liraglutide, and exenatide, offer therapeutic benefits by reducing cravings, improving treatment adherence, and decreasing relapse rates across a range of SUDs, including alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, nicotine, and opioid use disorders.
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explore studies that highlight the potential benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists in reducing substance cravings, improving treatment adherence, and decreasing relapse rates for patients with various SUDs.
Methods: A comprehensive review of recent studies examining the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists, including semaglutide, liraglutide, and exenatide, was conducted. These studies evaluate the impact of GLP-1s on craving reduction, treatment adherence, and relapse rates in patients with SUDs, focusing on various SUDs.
Results: The findings suggest that GLP-1 receptor agonists are effective in reducing cravings and substance consumption, particularly for alcohol and opioids, and potentially nicotine and cannabis. The evidence supports the role of GLP-1s in influencing neurobiological pathways related to reward processing, mood, and cognition, leading to improvements in addiction treatment outcomes.
Implications for Practice: GLP-1s should be considered in collaboration with addiction specialists and mental health professionals. FNPs can educate patients about the benefits of these medications, support treatment adherence, and advocate for improved access to them. Continued research and patient-centered care will be crucial for integrating GLP-1 receptor agonists into clinical practice to manage SUDs
