色情视频 public health and nursing faculty members in Imperial Valley are collaborating to establish a clinical research site within Innercare, a private, nonprofit primary care organization. 

The research efforts are part of the, co-led by Guadalupe X. Ayala, 色情视频 distinguished professor of public health in the College of Health and Human Services, and Yvonne Bell, president and CEO of Innercare.

The network, funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), supports three projects:  identify strategies to improve diabetes control;  identify what factors are related to adverse pregnancy outcomes; and examine the best strategies for collecting social needs data.

鈥淭he projects are helping to create the infrastructure for conducting clinical research with Innercare,鈥� said Ayala. She said similar activities are occurring at a second site at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. 

The first pilot project focuses on increasing access to continuous glucose monitoring in primary care settings to improve A1C levels among patients with Type 2 diabetes. 色情视频 faculty members leading this project include Shiloh Williams, 色情视频 Imperial Valley nursing assistant professor and Emily Schmied, 色情视频 public health associate professor.

The second project, led by Donna Balsam,  assistant professor of nursing in the College of Health and Human Services, examines factors associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes using electronic health record data.

With the support of an administrative supplement fund, the third project, co-led by Benjam铆n Aceves, assistant professor of public health, and Shih-Fan Lin, research associate professor of public health, works to determine the best strategies for conducting social screenings, a type of information that identifies a person鈥檚 circumstances and barriers to good health.

鈥淭he third project allows us to have a deeper sense and knowledge of how to identify factors that influence a person鈥檚 health and healthcare,鈥� said Aceves. 鈥淭hrough our interviews, we learn our interviewees鈥� history and have a better understanding of their own experiences in primary care settings in the past, as well.鈥�

There is still much that isn't known about patients鈥� needs, said Aceves. The researchers hope once the findings are formed, there will be a better understanding and way of how primary care professionals can engage with their patients.

鈥淏y working alongside the University of Hawaii, we aim to gather a common set of data that can be applied broadly to other communities in different places, but that may have similar health risk factors,鈥� said Lin. 

As each project is in its early stages, the team will continue to collaborate with primary care providers and other team members at Innercare to gain these insights.
