The study looked at black newborn babies born prematurely or with low birth weights at 700 neonatal intensive care units, according to UPI. “Our results provide evidence for segregation and inequality in the care of very low-birth-weight and very preterm infants,” researchers wrote in the study. “Compared with white infants, Black infants re- ceived care at lower-quality NICUs and Asian infants at higher-qual- ity NICUs after accounting for region of residence.” “Black, Hispanic, and Asian very low-birth-weight and very preterm infants are segregated across NICUs reflecting the uneven distribu- tion of minority populations in the United States,” the study contin- ues. “Explaining these patterns will require understanding the effects of sociodemographic factors and public policy on hospital quality, access, and choice for minority women and their infants.” In the study, researchers looked at the quality of care newborns receive at NICUs including death while under care, lung disease, bacterial or fungal infections, and cases of babies developing hy- pothermia, and the results were all worse for Black preemies. The study revealed that Black preemies represented more than a third of all infants in the lowest-ranked NICUs (out of the 700). This com- pares to roughly 20 percent of babies at the highly-ranked NICUs, according to UPI. In terms of rationale for the disparity among how infants fare in NICUs, researchers found the quality of insurance, the location of the hospital and the patient’s immigration status, among key con- tributors to the dismal prenatal and neonatal care outcomes. Further, although 10 percent of babies born in the U.S. are premature, ac- cording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, another study said Black women have double the risk of having a preemie compared to whites.

Institutions seekto develop mission-drivenworkforce, deliverpersonalized care to allAlverno College and As-

cension Wisconsin havesigned a letter of intent toestablish a strategic al-liance to improve the healthof the state’s residents,Alverno President Dr. An-drea Lee and BernieSherry, Ministry Market Ex-ecutive for Ascension Wis-consin, announcedTuesday.This relationship will amplify the

existing clinical relationship be-tween the two Catholic institutionsand seeks to further develop askilled, mission-driven workforceto help meet the needs of thestate’s rapidly evolving healthcareenvironment. It also will further ad-vance the initiatives of Alvernoand Ascension Wisconsin,grounded in their shared Catholicand Franciscan values, to strate-gically drive improved health out-comes for the state’s residents.Alverno will expand its existing

academic degree, certificate andcredential programs in healthcareand develop new programs. This includes degrees and con-

tinuing education opportunities foremployees at Ascension Wiscon-sin’s 24 hospital campuses andmore than 100 clinics statewide.Ascension Wisconsin will provideexpanded access for Alverno stu-dents to the clinical education ex-periences necessary in theirpreparation as healthcare profes-sionals.

This includes clinical place-ments and career placement op-portunities within AscensionWisconsin’s statewide integratedsystem of care.“This is a logical and desirable

alliance for Alverno College,” Sis-ter Andrea said.

“Providing accessible, high-quality and affordable healthcareto residents of the city, region andstate, especially for those with lim-ited access to care, is a highly rec-ognized characteristic of Alvernohealthcare professionals and ofAscension Wisconsin associates.”“As an anchor in communities

from Racine to Eagle River, As-cension Wisconsin is focused onproviding compassionate, person-alized care to all people, espe-cially those living in poverty andwho are most vulnerable,” Sherrysaid. “This alliance will build on our

shared commitment to strengtheneducational opportunities for thenext generation of nurses, with afocus on increasing diversity in theworkforce.”As part of the Alverno-Ascen-

sion Wisconsin strategic alliance,leaders of the two institutions havesigned a letter of intent and areengaged in serious discussions tocombine Alverno’s JoAnn Mc-Grath School of Nursing andHealth Professions and the 118-year-old Columbia College of

Nursing (CCON), part of Ascen-sion Wisconsin, located in Glen-dale, Wis., subject to receipt of allnecessary approvals. Once finalized, CCON’s coedu-

cational programs will be adminis-tratively housed in Alverno’s

School of Adult Learning and NewInitiatives, with curricular oversightby the JoAnn McGrath School ofNursing and Health Professions.“We are eager to collaborate

with our CCON nursing col-leagues and are especially inter-ested in the possibility ofexpanding our footprint with anorth side presence,” said PatriciaVarga, Ph.D., dean of Alverno’sJoAnn McGrath School of Nursingand Health Professions.“We share a passion for excel-

lent nurse preparation,” explainedHeather Vartanian, PhD, RN,ANP-BC, president and dean ofColumbia College of Nursing.“Collaborating around our sharedmission in healthcare educationwill only enhance our capacity tocontribute positively to the evolu-tion of healthcare delivery in the

region.”“Healthcare is changing rapidly,

so rapidly that demand for skilledhealthcare providers cannot keeppace with the need, a clear indica-tor of the power of alliances suchas this and others across the re-gion,” Sister Andrea said.“Ascension Wisconsin and

Alverno educators will have signif-icant roles in advancing importantconversations on healthcare deliv-ery in the future. We are excited tocontinue the conversation and tomove quickly to action.”Given that the Alverno and As-

cension Wisconsin’s strategic al-liance will not be exclusive, bothAlverno and Ascension Wisconsinwill continue their current andemerging business relationshipswith other institutions and health-care systems.

Harris, Gillibrand Offer Plans to Bolster Maternal CareTwo Democratic women running for president have unveiled plans to improve maternal health care

Article courtesy of JuanaSummers and Will Weissert, Associated Press viaU.S.NEWS.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — TwoDemocratic women running forpresident unveiled plans Wednes-day to improve maternal healthcare, with Sen. Kamala Harrisreintroducing a bill aimed at ad-dressing racial disparities in child-birth care and Sen. KirstenGillibrand promising to makeadoptions and high-tech fertilitytreatments more accessible tothose who want children.Harris' bill, first introduced in

2018, would create a $25 millionprogram to fight racial bias in ma-ternal care. It would direct grantsto medical schools, nursingschools and other training pro-grams to improve care for blackwomen, who are three to fourtimes more likely than whitewomen to die in childbirth .Her revived proposal also would

allocate an additional $125 milliontoward identifying high-risk preg-nancies and, according to herSenate office, provide motherswith the "culturally competent careand resources they need.""Black mothers across the coun-

try are facing a health crisis that isdriven in part by implicit bias in ourhealth care system," Harris, ofCalifornia, said in a statement."We must take action to addressthis issue, and we must do it withthe sense of urgency it deserves."Harris and Gillibrand, of New

York, are among a number of con-tenders for the Democratic presi-dential nomination focused onmaternal mortality rates. The issue was the first that Mas-

sachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warrenwas questioned on at a recentcandidate forum in Houston fo-cused on issues key to women ofcolor, and she recently penned anop-ed for Essence magazine onthe topic.New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker

earlier this year teamed up withMassachusetts Rep. AyannaPressley and introduced legisla-tion aimed at reducing the coun-

try's maternal mortality rate, par-ticularly among black women.Gillibrand announced a plan for

a Family Bill of Rights , which shevowed to implement promptly ifelected president. It seeks to im-prove access to obstetrician-gyne-cologists in rural areas, whilemaking adoptions or in vitro fertil-ization more affordable for every-one wanting children, regardlessof income, religion or sexual orien-tation.

Her plan would provide govern-ment-sponsored "baby bundles"for new parents, with diapers, one-sies, a small mattress and otheritems designed to make newbornnurseries healthier. It further includes beefed-up

paid family leave allowing parentsto care for their children into in-fancy, universal prekindergartenprograms and expanded childcare tax credits."The Family Bill of Rights will

make all families stronger — re-gardless of who you are or whatyour zip code is — with a funda-mental set of rights that levels theplaying field starting at birth," Gilli-brand said in a statement.Gillibrand said she had a "sev-

eral ideas" to pay for the proposedinitiatives, including a 0.1% tax onfinancial transactions like stockpurchases, which she says wouldgenerate $777 billion over 10years.

Parents' Opioid Use Increases Kids' Suicide RiskThe risk of suicidal behavior among youth more than doubled if their parents were taking prescription opioids long-term

RESEARCHERS CAUTION thatparents' long-term use of opioids mayincrease the odds of their kids at-tempting suicide.Using health insurance claims data from the MarketScan Com-

mercial Claims and Encounters databases, researchers from theUniversity of Pittsburgh and University of Chicago examinedwhether there was an increased risk of suicide attempts amongchildren ages 10 to 15 whose parents ages 30 to 50 used opioidsfor more than a year between 2010 and 2016. The analysis included 184,142 children who had parents that

used opioids and 148,395 children whose parents did not.They found that children whose parents had used opioids long-

term had a risk of 3.68 per 1,000 of attempting suicide – 2.25times the risk of suicidal behavior for those whose parents hadnot filled their prescriptions."Parental opioid use is a risk factor for suicide attempts by their

offspring with an associated doubling of the risk" independent ofage, sex, location or parental history of suicide attempts, accord-ing to the study.Further, the researchers found that the actual diagnosis of opi-

oid use disorder (OUD) among parents "was rare even amongthose who had more than 1 year of opioid use," the study said."Helping the families of parents with OUD depends on identify-

ing OUD in the parents," the study said. "The low rate of diagnosis of OUD in our study among parents

who had been using opioids continuously for at least 1 year sug-gests the need for improved surveillance, recognition and treat-ment of this potentially fatal condition."The study, published Wednesday in the Journal of the American

Medical Association's Psychiatry, comes as rates of youth sui-cide, suicide attempts and ideation continue to climb across theU.S. The researchers note that all of the insurance claims examined

were for families with private health insurance, so the study mayunderestimate the rate of suicide behavior risk. Recent "surveys of opioid misuse find that the rates of opioid

misuse in the past year among those with medical assistance,Children’s Health Insurance Program or with no insurance aremore than double the rates among those who have private insur-ance," the report noted."When estimating the costs and treatment needs of families af-

fected by opioid abuse, these results support the importance ofincorporating the clinical needs and attendant costs of the as-sessment and care of children of affected parents," the study con-cludes. "Recognition and treatment of parents with OUD, attendance

to comorbid conditions in affected parents, and screening andappropriate referral of their children may help, at least in part, toreverse the current upward trend in mortality due to the twin epi-demics of suicide and opioid overdose."
