Ultra-processed foods linked to infertility in US women Women who consume lower amounts of ultra-processed foods have higher odds of conceiving, according to new research from McMaster University. The link persists even after accounting for age, weight, li...

“While the effect may look modest on an individual level, in fully adjusted models, higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with a roughly 60% lower odds of fertility.”

Kevin Ault, MD, comments on ACOG's updated maternal immunization guidance | Contemporary OB/GYN “ACOG has been in the business of maternal immunization guidelines for about 15 years. It’s nice to have all those maternal immunization guidelines in one place," said Kevin Ault, MD.

It was my privilege to discuss the latest version of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)'s maternal immunization guidance with Contemporary OB/GYN earlier this week.

Marshallese mothers face the highest rates of adverse maternal and child health outcomes compared to other ethnic groups in Hawaiʻi. Previous studies used interviews with healthcare providers to understand these disparate outcomes; however, the voices of Marshallese women are relatively absent. This project explores the bwebwenato (Marshallese mode of storytelling) of first-generation Marshallese mothers who navigated discrimination before, during, and after pregnancy in Hawaiʻi. Using collaborative methodology, we co-produced research that centers the bwebwenato of Marshallese women. In addition to the intersections of power and race in healthcare settings, Marshallese mothers chose to highlight the discrimination they faced growing up in Hawaiʻi. Through these stories, they profess their ability to navigate their cultural traditions and beliefs within and against a local racial hierarchy that places Micronesians at the bottom. Bwebwenato as a method has the potential to transform research into a more acceptable form for groups experiencing discrimination and patient-provider interactions into more equitable exchanges.

New article by #MedAnthroHI MA & med student Katriel Wong on Marshallese mothers navigating discrimination in Hawai‘i. We advocate for bwebwenato / talk story / talanoa as collaborative methodology.
