Dr Jeannie Rodriguez will present on secondhand e-cigarette vapor exposure in children.

Assistant Professor
Assistant Director, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Program
Project Lead, SEEK Study
Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Atlanta, Georgia
Title: The Metabolome of Passive ENDS Exposure in Kids (The M-PEEK Study)
Jeannie Rodriguez (presenting), Irene Yang, Donghai Liang, Rachel Tchen, and Bayan Hawsawi assessed the feasibility of non-invasive biomatrices to detect secondhand e-cigarette vapor exposure in children and describe parental perceptions of vaping. Overall, sample-specific, and feature-specific correlations were strong to moderate between blood and the non-invasive biomatrices. Fourteen significant features were annotated, noting metabolites directly reflective of e-cigarette vapor exposure and metabolites of dopamine and oxidative stress, likely representing downstream effects of exposure. Most parents began vaping to stop smoking and described vaping as a minor health hazard or not a hazard. Parent vapers described the “power of addiction”, “the appeal of vaping”, and a “cycle of judgement”.

ANHE Research Forum – March 24 at 3pm ET
Title: Household Emergency Preparedness
Speaker: Tara Heagele, PhD, RN, EMT, Assistant Professor at The City University of New York’s Hunter College School of Nursing in New York, NY.
Dr. Heagele started her program of research by exploring the household emergency preparedness activities of elderly and medically frail community members qualitatively with the hope of better understanding the reasons why people do or do not prepare for disasters to inform policy. She is especially interested in the role that nurses have in mobilizing the community to prepare for and recover from disasters. She hopes that her disaster nursing research will ultimately save lives and promote disaster-related community resilience. In this presentation, Dr. Heagele will discuss the evolution of her program of research, describing the findings from three of her studies, and providing implications for practice. Participants will learn the barriers and facilitators of adequate household emergency preparedness, how to measure household emergency preparedness, and how to implement a nurse-led household emergency preparedness intervention targeting community members.

Kim Larson, RN, PhD, MPH, FNAP is a professor at East Carolina University College of Nursing in Greenville, North Carolina
Title: Safe Drinking Water Study in Guatemala
Contaminated drinking water contributes to child mortality. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in Guatemala to examine a community engagement (CE) strategy, a monetary donation for a water filter. Water filters were distributed to households in four villages; three villages (n = 38) participated in the CE strategy (intervention) and one village (n = 56) did not (control). One-year later we surveyed study households on family health and water filter use. Intervention households had almost five times higher odds (OR = 4.7, p = 0.022) of having a working water filter. Interventions that incorporate ownership might sustain safe drinking water initiatives.

Charleen C. McNeill, PhD, MSN, RN
Professor, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Fran and Earl Ziegler College of Nursing
The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Title: Impact of Healthcare Providers on Emergency Preparedness Among Vulnerable Clients
Dr. McNeill’s program of research involves emergency preparedness and response of nurses as well as individuals in the community and the households they live in, particularly vulnerable populations. She endeavors to improve disaster competencies among nurses, willingness to report to duty after a disaster, and emergency preparedness of all. Her research involves emergency shelter placement, community health issues to include emergency preparedness and response, resilience, and most recently, COVID-19. Research involving emergency preparedness centers on investigating response measures inclusive of individuals and populations with access and functional needs as well as resiliency among populations and the impact health care providers have on preparedness levels. She investigates measures to improve emergency preparedness and response among health care professionals and preparedness levels among vulnerable citizens. In this presentation, Dr. McNeill will discuss the evolution of her program of research, describing the findings from several of her studies, and providing implications for practice. Participants will learn about emergency preparedness and the importance of educating clients and patients on how to become prepared for emergencies, and the impact a healthcare provider can make in emergency preparedness among vulnerable clients and patients. Finally, resources for nurses to educate themselves on emergency preparedness and response topics will be discussed.

Title: Environmental Health Emergencies: Risks to the Maternal-Fetal Dyad
Climate change may contribute, in part, to the intensity and frequency of environmental health emergencies. These disasters are complex events, and require individual, community, and systems level strategies. CO poisoning can occur in the aftermath of environmental emergencies, such as wildfires and winter storms, related to power losses and makeshift heating and cooking appliances. The maternal – fetal environment is particularly vulnerable to CO poisoning. Evidence in the literature will be presented, along with specific case studies from the California Poison Control System. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction will also be presented, within the context of understanding risk and prioritizing prevention and preparedness, particularly for the health and well-being of the maternal-fetal dyad.
