ANHE Research Forum Monthly Call - February 2023
2023-02-23 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
February 23rd , 2023

Speaker: Jeannie Rodriguez, PhD, RN, APRN, 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)
Summary: 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”.

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.
