Michigan Medicine study: Food insecurity linked to chronic conditions in children

Children with chronic medical conditions are more likely to face food insecurity than their peers — even after adjusting for income and other factors, a new Michigan Medicine study suggests. “Our findings highlight how critical it is to protect and strengthen national policies to address food insecurity in children,” said lead author Nina Hill, M.D., of the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research Center (CHEAR). “Now more than ever, our patients need access to effective nutrition support programs.” More on the new findings: michmed.org/KD7YM

⚠️ ERS and European Lung Foundation are calling for urgent action to defend science and protect public health. Science is under threat from disinformation, political pressure and funding cuts. Without urgent action, patient care and research progress are at risk. Read our joint call to action: https://lnkd.in/efQFDbfV Lungs Europe Silke Ryan

Science underpins every step forward in public health and our healthcare systems – from vaccines and early detection programmes to cleaner air policies. But it is increasingly under threat. Lungs Europe, a partnership of European Respiratory Society and European Lung Foundation, supports ERS and ELF's new statement urging action to tackle disinformation and strengthen international cooperation, which is essential for progress on global health challenges.

We’re proud to have been selected to lead data coordination for the National Institutes of Health Stillbirth Research Consortium—a new initiative focused on reducing preventable stillbirths in the U.S. Stillbirth affects more than 23,000 families each year, and over 60% of cases remain unexplained. By harmonizing data across five research institutions, our experts will have a critical role in developing tools, technologies and strategies to improve diagnosis and prevention. 🔗https://lnkd.in/ecHc99Gz

American Medical Student Association (AMSA) is a student-driven organization focused on advocacy, health justice, and human rights—committed to cultivating a safe, empowering space where medical students can enhance their learning, well-being, and sense of purpose within the field of medicine. In close partnership with Dr. Taylor Brown , Donya Ahmadian, MPH , and our esteemed colleagues at the Trauma-Informed Care Health Education and Research (TICHER) program, we are thrilled to introduce this groundbreaking course as part of the AMSA Academy. I am also deeply grateful to be working alongside Adam Gaetz, National VP of Leadership Development, as Course Directors, co-leading throughout the semester and Maria Tefel with the program organization and promotion. We all have been working really hard for the past couple of months to launch this amazing program. The AMSA Academy represents a unique branch of our mission, offering dynamic educational initiatives and engaging speakers, all designed to prepare future physicians with the character and tools needed to profoundly impact patient care. The Trauma-Informed Scholars Program track is intentionally designed as an interactive and transformative learning experience. Our goal is to equip future physicians not only with knowledge of trauma and resilience neurobiology, but also with the real-world skills necessary to provide compassionate, strength-based care to patients, colleagues, and themselves. At its heart, this program embraces the art of medicine with a harm-reduction approach—one that seeks to disrupt cycles of stigma and re-traumatization, while nurturing healing in both clinical practice and medical education. We look forward to seeing you in the course!
