The MOTHeRS’ Project was developed in 2020 with funding from the United Healthcare Foundation (UHF), ECU Physicians, and the Departments of OB-GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine, to utilize NC-STeP - a statewide telepsychiatry program to bring multidisciplinary care to three community-based primary care obstetric clinics in Carteret, Duplin, and Chowan counties. Through this collaborative care model that includes the patient, nurse navigator, diabetes educator, behavioral health manager, primary obstetrician, MFM specialist, and a psychiatrist consultant, the MOTHeRS’ Project brings support and insights of specialty physicians to the identified practices. An additional component of this program will be the Medical Food Pantry to include healthy food bags and tailored patient education to women with high risk pregnancies and food insecurity, living in rural areas. This entry includes a video clip showing a nutrition consult which incorporates the 2-Question Hunger Vital Sign Screener. These two questions have been validated for use in the clinical setting to identify food insecurity, and will be used by practices piloting the MOTHeRS' Project to identify high-risk pregnant women at each prenatal appointment. A response of 'usually' or 'sometimes' reflects a positive screen for food insecurity.

Site selection
Recruiting
Generational difference
Background and Objectives: Generational differences are often viewed as shaping the overall attitudes and actions of different age cohorts. It is essential to understand the motivations and generational differences in primary care physicians for efforts to recruit, retain, and educate the future physician workforce. Determining what factors most influence different generations of primary care physicians when choosing a practice site is essential to build our future primary care system. This study examined generational differences in the factors that attracted primary care physicians to their current practice.
Methods: A survey instrument was mailed to all active members of the North Carolina Medical Board who listed their primary occupation as a primary care specialty. The survey consisted of 24 demographic questions regarding personal and practice variables and a list of 21 reasons for choosing a practice location measured on a 7-point Likert type scale. A total of 975 surveys were returned and usable for the final analysis, for a return rate of 34.5%. Data were analyzed using regression and correlation procedures to determine attitudes of each generation and factors that significantly influenced responses.
Results: While slight differences between generations did exist, the overall choices for choosing a site remained stable across generations. Personality of the practice, on-call responsibilities, ability to practice comprehensive care, and location were deemed the most important factors for all generations. Differences between various demographic groups and Family Medicine versus other primary care specialties were minor with very little alteration of the top ten items being seen between groups.
Conclusion: This study indicated that there were few differences between generations regarding primary reasons for choosing a practice site. In addition, factors remained remarkably similar across different specialties, family situations, genders, and ethnic groups. Several of the top reasons that primary care physicians indicate are the most important for site selection were also potentially modifiable, such as on-call responsibilities, practice personality, and ability to practice comprehensive care. Managers, clinicians, and educators can potentially utilize this information to better prepare and recruit current and future generations of primary care physicians.

Teaching the Art of Medicine: A Changing Portrait in Today's Medical Schools

Medicine
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess attitudes toward the value of the “art of medicine� in medical education, beliefs regarding whether it can be taught and, if so, the methods of teaching that would be most effective.
Method: As described by the British Medical Journal (2006), the “art of medicine� is defined in the present study as “the way in which knowledge is related to advice and treatment.1� Data was gathered via 278 anonymous surveys distributed to all Marshall-affiliated physicians, fellows, residents, and entering first-year medical students using a 5-point Likert Scale. Surveys were then analyzed by demographics including age, gender, medical school attended, and field of specialty.
Results: Out of 278 surveys, 218 were returned resulting in a 78% response rate. Ninety percent of respondents believe that the art of medicine is as important to medical practice as the basic sciences and ninety-two percent believe it to be a critical component of medical education. Eighty-one percent believe that the art of medicine can be taught, and seventy-six percent would support finding more time in the curriculum for teaching the art of medicine. Out of options given, most respondents seemed to favor role-modeling by preceptors (68%), reviewing experiences of physicians (59%), and small-group discussions (56%) as the most effective methods of teaching the art of medicine.
Discussion: The faculty, residents, and first-year students of Marshall University School of Medicine clearly support teaching the art of medicine and believe it can, in fact, be taught and is not just something inherent to certain individuals. Several methods of teaching were identified as important by those surveyed, and action must be taken to ensure the art of medicine is not lost in the shuffle or removed from the undergraduate medical curriculum.

The authors are pleased to share these materials with others at no expense, please credit The MOTHeRS’ Project, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. We would appreciate you telling us if/how you used these materials.
The MOTHeRS’ Project was developed in 2020 with funding from the United Healthcare Foundation (UHF), ECU Physicians, and the Departments of OB-GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine, to utilize NC-STeP—a statewide telepsychiatry program to bring multidisciplinary care to three community-based primary care obstetric clinics in Carteret, Duplin, and Chowan counties. Through this collaborative care model that includes the patient, nurse navigator, diabetes educator, behavioral health manager, primary obstetrician, MFM specialist, and a psychiatrist consultant, the MOTHeRS’ Project brings support and insights of specialty physicians to the identified practices. An additional component of this program will be the Medical Food Pantry to include healthy food bags and tailored patient education to women with high risk pregnancies and food insecurity, living in rural areas. This entry includes English and Spanish versions of The MOTHeRS' Project Recipe handout, available in both color and black-and-white. This 2-sided handout was designed to provide instruction and inspiration on how to use common food items that are good sources of nutrients identified to be important during pregnancy, but which are often under-consumed. Both sides of the handout include a brief description of each food item, its nutritional significance during pregnancy, and tips on how to use/cook with it. Additionally, detailed recipes are provided for some food items, and QR codes are available for others. Shelf-stable food items and foods provided in the MOTHeRS' Emergency Food Bag, or available with WIC-benefits are emphasized. The bottom of the back-side of the handout offers suggestions of nutritious snack combinations that can be enjoyed during pregnancy.

The MOTHeRS Project was developed in 2020 with funding from the United Healthcare Foundation (UHF), ECU Physicians and the Departments of OB-GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine, to utilize NC-STeP - a statewide telepsychiatry program to bring multidisciplinary care to three community-based primary care obstetric clinics in Carteret, Duplin, and Chowan counties. The program continued to expand to other communities in 2022. Through this collaborative care model that includes the patient, nurse navigator, diabetes educator, behavioral health manager, primary obstetrician, MFM specialist, and a psychiatrist consultant, the MOTHeRS Project brings support and insights of specialty physicians to the identified practices. An additional component of this program is the Medical Food Pantry to include healthy food bags and tailored patient education to women with high risk pregnancies and food insecurity, living in rural areas. Separate entries in this repository include English and Spanish versions of The MOTHeRS' Project handouts, technical report and more. Additional information about this project is available at its website: https://medicine.ecu.edu/mothers-project.
The authors are pleased to share these materials with others at no expense, please credit The MOTHeRS Project, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. We would appreciate you telling us if/how you used these materials.
This is the presentation/training for staff and volunteers participating in the screening for and treatment of food insecurity in the MOTHeRS project. These materials can be adapted for other clinical sites. This is an updated version of the slide set used in 2021. The 2022 version reflects changes in procedures as the program was implemented but does not change the content of the bags and handouts. These slides were also used in a recording made by Dr. Kolasa and Ms. Brittany Smith, hosted on the website of Eastern AHEC, for the duration of the project. The long slide set (45 slides) describes: 1) Why the MOTHeRS Project is distributing emergency food bags to pregnant women at high risk of food insecurity (Slides 4 to 6); 2) The emergency food bag contents and rationale for items included (Slides 7 to 14); 3) How to screen for food insecurity in the clinical setting, using two validated questions (Slides 15 to 18); 4) How to briefly counsel a pregnant woman who screens positive for food insecurity (Slide 19-23); 5) How the process of getting food from the Vidant Health-ECU Medical Food Pantry to eligible women will work at different practice locations participating in the program (Slides 24 to 28); 6) How to counsel the food bag recipient using MOTHeRS Project handouts (Slides 29 to 42).

Avoid the "Southern Diet"??? What Really??
Kolasa, Kathryn
Firnhaber, Gina
Craven, Kay
southern diet, nutritional epidemiology, patient centered care, dietary pattern research, foodways
As far as eating patterns go, the southern diet is often viewed as synonymous with poor food choices. But is it really? How do we know? When attempting to balance patient beliefs, habits, and cultural norms with best evidence we must interpret and apply research evidence regarding dietary patterns such as the South Diet. In this paper we address the complexities of interpreting dietary pattern based research evidence and present the cases of two born and bred southern adults with potential benefit from culturally appropriate nutrition education

Diet and osteoarthritis: Sharing strategies for reduced pain and improved function when the evidence is limited

Nutrition Today is peer reviewed.
Paper was based in part on a webinar prepared for the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance and presented October 21, 2020 by Kathryn Kolasa and Tovah Wolf
https://oaaction.unc.edu/webinar/should-i-go-mediterranean-october-21-2020/
Osteoarthritis is a debilitating joint disease impacting millions of people around the world, but for which few effective treatments exist. It is influenced by both mechanical and systemic factors, each of which may be mitigated by appropriate dietary interventions. Unfortunately, few patients are given advice beyond, “lose some weight.� The effect of weight loss on pain and function are recognized, but less known is the evidence that diet quality may impact pain and function. In this article we discuss evidence-based weight-loss strategies and the potential role of an anti-inflammatory diet on both the progression and severity of osteoarthritis. We present a case from our family medicine practice to demonstrate how evidence-based medical nutrition therapy can be used to help patients with osteoarthritis achieve symptom relief.

The 2 page handout was designed to help patients/clients visualize an eating approach emphasizing food found in reducing dementia risk and slowing cognitive decline. It is based on the book, "Diet for the Mind" by Martha Clare Morris. The front side is a plate divided into protein, starches, and no starchy vegetables with a side of berries, nuts and wine. It also lists foods to limit. The back side is a tool to assess an individual's diet for its adherence to the MIND food categories and servings. It has a place for the user to write a SMART Goal.

There was a need for a patient education handout on affordable herbs and spices to use in preparation of dishes that align with the Mediterranean Style of Eating. Dr. Kolasa invited Catherine Hill and her team at NC State University to build that handout. Five herbs and spices were identified (Italian seasoning, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, chili powder and cumin), and this handout includes tips for buying, storing, and using these, as well as dried parsley, dried dill, garlic powder and onion powder. Tips on zesting citrus for additional flavor are included.

Diabetes Education in Rural Appalachia
Lambert, Aaron
Diabetes, Rural
Introduction:
Diabetes education has long been a problem at rural health sites like Tug River Health Association at Gary, WV. Many providers expressed a need of handouts on diabetic topics that are both informative and written on an appropriate educational reading level for the local population where most do not have access to internet resources at home and only half of the county’s population has a high school diploma.
Methods:
Multiple providers were surveyed informally regarding diabetic topics that they felt needed more attention. A total of 14 topics were identified. Information was gathered and printer-friendly handouts were created on each topic. These handouts were then posted on a newly created webpage along with a printable home glucose log sheet and links to other websites.
Results:
Construction of the website is still underway, therefore no results are available at time of print. Anticipated results will be that the handouts can be printed and given to patients to help further the understanding of their disease.
Conclusions:
Access to and comprehension of complex medical information can be challenging to patients as well as providers in rural areas. Further work is needed to help expand the availability of information in rural areas.

Participation in Community-Originated Interventions is Associated with Positive Changes in Weight Status and Health Behaviors in Youth
Whetstone, Lauren
Kolasa, Kathryn M.
Collier, David N.
Childhood obesity
Community-based interventions
Dietary change
Physical activity
Purpose. To assess changes in children’s health behaviors and weight status after participation in community-originated interventions.
Design. Prospective cohort study following body mass index (BMI) z-score trajectory over time.
Setting. Schools and community settings in 19 locations in North Carolina.
Subjects. A total of 1144 children, with an average age of 9.5 years, participating in community-originated physical activity and nutrition interventions, such as active recess and healthy cafeteria offerings, and environment and policy changes designed to prevent and reduce the prevalence of childhood obesity. Retention from baseline to final collection was 54%.
Measures. Self-reported physical activity and eating behaviors; measured height and weight were collected at baseline and after interventions (average of 20 months). Z-score was compared with expected growth without intervention.
Analysis. Descriptive statistics, χ2 tests and t-tests, and analysis of variance to assess changes in health behaviors and weight status.
Results. More than 11% of children improved their weight status, and 86% of children who began at a healthy weight remained there. The average BMI for children who were overweight at enrollment was significantly lower after intervention (1.1 kg/m2 lower for boys and 0.88 kg/m2 lower for girls). Overweight and obese children who made improvements in key health behaviors showed greater decreases in BMI z-score than those who did not improve those behaviors (increased fruit [−.2207 vs. −.0793] and vegetable [−.2215 vs. −.0855] intake, and drinking less soda [−.1985 vs. −.0912]). There were no significant increases in physical activity, and changes in physical activity were not related to decreases in BMI z-score in this study.
Conclusion. Community-originated interventions to raise awareness about food choices and to change policies and environments may improve BMI z-scores.

The Medical Food Pantry at VIdant Medical Centers is a partnership of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC, the Brody School of Medicine and ECU Physicians, and Vidant Health. The training partner is Eastern AHEC. Opened in 2018, it is an emergency source of health foods for patients and links patients to food resources in their home community. The Food Cards indicate the: type and amount of of food that meets the diet prescription given to the patient by their physician (healthy, carb controlled or low sodium), that will last a few days. A "To build your own healing box" handout for each prescription shows what the healthy plate should look like and what affordable foods a patient should seek. The Two powerpoints are training modules for volunteers that include information about operations of the food pantry, scripts for patient education about eating healthy food, food safety information and more.

Literature from across multiple health professions points to a budding crisis where current and future health professionals are experiencing stress and burnout at an alarming rate that threatens the vitality of our healthcare system and it appears to be no different for professionals engaged in nutrition education and dietetics. We draw attention to stressors impacting the field of nutrition and dietetics and encourage a conversation for stronger interprofessional collaborations between registered dietitian nutritionists and other members of the healthcare team.

Outpatient Colonoscopy by Rural Family Physicians
Newman, Robert J.

Cummings, Doyle M.
Outpatient colonoscopy
Ambulatory care
Rural health services
Family practice
PURPOSE Five percent of family physicians offer colonoscopy services, either in the office or the hospital, often in rural areas that have no gastroenterologist. Two previous large series have shown the quality and safety of colonoscopy performed by family physicians. The purpose of this study was to verify these fi ndings in an outpatient setting, as well as to obtain patient satisfaction data. METHODS Data were obtained from 731 colonoscopies performed between 1996 and 2001 in a rural Virginia family practice. These data included patientsâ age and sex, indications for the procedure, drug dosages for sedation, cecal intubation rates, pathologic fi ndings, complications, and referral correlation fi ndings compared with the original examimation. A patient satisfaction survey was done. RESULTS The adenoma detection rate was 27.2% for men and 21.4% for women older than age 50 years. Six adenocarcinomas and 5 large (>2 cm) villous adenomas were detected, and the patients were referred for defi nitive surgical resection. A total of 29 patients (4%) were referred: 10 to colorectal surgery and 19 to gastroenterology for resection of large polyps. Correlation of fi ndings at referral with the initial examination was excellent. Cecal intubation rates increased from 89.5% from 1996-1998 to 94.6% from 1999-2001. Minor sedation complications occurred in 5 cases (<1%), and patients responded to supportive care. A high degree of satisfaction was reported by patients, with a mean satisfaction score of 8.8 on a scale from 1 to 10. CONCLUSIONS Colonoscopy can be performed safely and competently by properly trained family physicians in an outpatient setting with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

The Culinary Medicine Workshop was offered to ECU Family Medicine residents in response to growing interest in culinary medicine training as a way to improve nutrition counseling with patients. During this workshop, residents partnered with culinary arts students at high school culinary facilities to prepare meals following the Mediterranean style of eating at three US cost levels - low, moderate, and liberal. The purpose of this workshop was to explain the Mediterranean diet and its associated health benefits, and to sharpen the culinary skills of participants to apply Mediterranean diet principles to their own eating pattern and which residents can use when counseling their patients. Included in this submission are videos utilized prior to or during the Culinary Medicine Workshop to provide students and/or residents with background information on the Mediterranean Diet, an explanation of cultural competency as it relates to food, and a demonstration of basic cooking skills.

Healthy Hospital Food Environment: Policy & Programs in Practice
Gaskins, Scottie
This invited presentation highlights the state of weight at Vidant Health, a health care system serving 29 counties in eastern North Carolina and its innovative Health Food Environment program. A policy, effective in 2012, made healthy food the norm not the exception in all the food venues on the hospital campuses. A calorie based definition of "healthy" was used since the strategy is one to address the obesity epidemic among the employees and visitors to the hospitals. The policy also provides for price leveraging healthy items to make them more affordable.

Blood Pressure Control in Diabetes

Kissela, Brett
Lackland, Daniel T.
OBJECTIVE Despite widespread dissemination of target values, achieving a blood pressure of <130/80 mmHg is challenging for many individuals with diabetes. The purpose of the present study was to examine temporal trends in blood pressure control in hypertensive individuals with diabetes as well as the potential for race, sex, and geographic disparities.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed baseline data from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study, a national, population-based, longitudinal cohort study of 30,228 adults (58% European American and 42% African American), examining the causes of excess stroke mortality in the southeastern U.S. We calculated mean blood pressure and blood pressure control rates (proportion with blood pressure <130/80 mmHg) for 5,217 hypertensive diabetic participants by year of enrollment (2003–2007) using multivariable logistic regression models.
RESULTS Only 43 and 30% of European American and African American diabetic hypertensive participants, respectively, demonstrated a target blood pressure of <130/80 mmHg (P < 0.001). However, a temporal trend of improved control was evident; the odds of having a blood pressure <130/80 mmHg among diabetic hypertensive participants of both races enrolled in 2007 (as compared with those enrolled in 2003) were ∼50% greater (P < 0.001) in multivariate models.
CONCLUSIONS These data suggest temporal improvements in blood pressure control in diabetes that may reflect broad dissemination of tighter blood pressure control targets and improving medication access. However, control rates remain low, and significant racial disparities persist among African Americans that may contribute to an increased risk for premature cardiovascular disease.

The MOTHeRS’ Project was developed in 2020 with funding from the United Healthcare Foundation (UHF), ECU Physicians and the Departments of OB-GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine, to utilize NC-STeP—a statewide telepsychiatry program to bring multidisciplinary care to three community-based primary care obstetric clinics in Carteret, Duplin, and Chowan counties. Through this collaborative care model that includes the patient, nurse navigator, diabetes educator, behavioral health manager, primary obstetrician, MFM specialist, and a psychiatrist consultant, the MOTHeRS’ Project brings support and insights of specialty physicians to the identified practices. An additional component of this program will be the Medical Food Pantry to include healthy food bags and tailored patient education to women with high risk pregnancies and food insecurity, living in rural areas. This entry includes the description of the food bag developed for pregnant women who screened positive for food insecurity along with the methodology used to develop the contents of the bag and handouts.

Consumer Intravenous Vitamin Therapy: Wellness Boost or Toxicity
Dayal, Sahil
Kolasa, Kathryn M
consumer intravenous vitamin therapy; hangover cure; Myer's cocktail; hydration; drip rooms
Intravenous vitamin therapy (IVVT) has become increasingly popular in recent years promising to cure or improve a variety of health problems or infuse “wellness�. Patients and consumers have IV vitamins or other nutrients and fluids infused into their arms outside the hospital setting in medical spas, hydration rooms, integrative medicine, and concierge primary care practices. The IVVT “menu� options include but are not limited to mixes containing Vitamin C, B12, glutathione, electrolytes, and saline. In the U.S., the IV administration of nutrients is considered drug or parenteral nutrition. In this paper, we describe what we learned while trying to answer a question of a patient contemplating an IVVT treatment at a retail store. Discussion of the regulatory issues and pharmacokinetics associated with IVVT is complex and beyond the scope of this paper. There is insufficient evidence to conclude there is benefit from these expensive services provided often without the knowledge of the person’s primary care physician but believe there is possibility of harm.

The authors are pleased to share these materials with others at no expense, please credit The MOTHeRS’ Project, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. We would appreciate you telling us if/how you used these materials.
The MOTHeRS’ Project was developed in 2020 with funding from the United Healthcare Foundation (UHF), ECU Physicians and the Departments of OB-GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine, to utilize NC-STeP — a statewide telepsychiatry program to bring multidisciplinary care to three community-based primary care obstetric clinics in Carteret, Duplin, and Chowan counties. Through this collaborative care model that includes the patient, nurse navigator, diabetes educator, behavioral health manager, primary obstetrician, MFM specialist, and a psychiatrist consultant, the MOTHeRS’ Project brings support and insights of specialty physicians to the identified practices. An additional component of this program will be the Medical Food Pantry to include healthy food bags and tailored patient education to women with high risk pregnancies and food insecurity, living in rural areas. This entry includes English and Spanish versions of The MOTHeRS' Food Guide for Women with Gestational Diabetes, available in both color or black-and-white. Using the familiar visual of a pyramid, this one-sided handout can be used as a food guide for women with Gestational Diabetes. It details the 6 food groups, and provides recommended daily servings, and serving sizes of common foods that fall into each food category. Carbohydrate-containing foods are indicated by a star, and shelf-stable food items are emphasized.

With the assistance of an evidence based medical librarian we searched for validated survey questionnaires in the public domain to assist us in 1) planning the culinary medicine workshop, 2) assessing knowledge and attitudes and related food behaviors of the participants pre- and post-workshop, 3) obtain immediate feedback about the workshop and 4) provide a tool to standardize observations of external evaluators. We did not find tools that we could use and therefore used questions from references below and tailored them to our needs. This resulted in 6 tools which are included here.

Cancer mortality in Native Americans in North Carolina.
Horner, Ronnie D.
Mortality
Malignant neoplasms
Native Americans
Genitourinary cancers
his paper describes age-adjusted mortality from malignant neoplasms for Native Americans in North Carolina for 1968-72 and 1978-82. Sex-specific standardized mortality ratios were calculated from death certificate data, using the cancer mortality experience of White North Carolinians to obtain the number of expected deaths. For most categories and specific sites of cancer, mortality was at or below the expected level, but higher than expected mortality was found for genitourinary cancers in males (SMR=1.62,95%CI=1.15,2.21)forthe1978-82period;withinthis category, there was a higher than expected level of mortality from prostate cancer (SMR = 2.00; 95% CI = 1.36, 2.83) and cancer of the penis and other male genital organs (SMR = 9.09; 95% CI = 1.10, 32.84). Female Native Americans had an elevated mortality from cervical cancer (SMR = 2.27, 95% CI = 1.09, 4.17) for the 1968-72 period only.

Background: Reducing glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to near or less than 7% in patients with diabetes is associated with diminished microvascular complications, but this level is not consistently achieved. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between fluctuations in HbA1c and changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and estimated stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in an academic primary care practice. Methods: We analyzed data from 791 diabetic primary care patients (25% white; 75% African American) enrolled between 1998 to 2002 and followed through 2008 (mean follow-up, 7.6 1.9 years). We calculated baseline and final follow-up eGFR using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation.
We examined the relationship between fluctuations in HbA1c and changes in eGFR and stage of CKD using multivariable linear and logistic regression models that controlled for demographic and clinical variables associated with CKD progression.
Results: From baseline to follow-up, mean eGFR in African Americans declined to a greater extent and more rapidly than in whites. Age, mean systolic blood pressure, initial HbA1c, initial eGFR, and number of HbA1c values (all P < .01) were significant predictors of change in eGFR. Among HbA1c fluctuation measures, the strongest predictor of change in eGFR was the proportion of HbA1c values >7% (P < .02); however, this contributed little to explaining model variance. Conclusion: These data suggest that traditional demographic and clinical risk factors remain significantly
associated with changes in eGFR and that the pattern of variability in HbA1c is only modestly important in contributing to changes in eGFR among African-American and white diabetic patients in primary care.

What to do when doctors disagree on diet for women with Gestational Diabetes
Kolasa, Kathryn M.
Haven, Kelley
Craven, Kay
gestational diabetes diet carbohydrates
Medical nutrition therapy is considered the cornerstone of treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus, even though there is no consensus on the best dietary approach to achieve optimal glycemic control and positive maternal and fetal outcomes. In this article, we present a case from our clinic of a woman with gestational mellitus, the evidence for the level of macronutrients to include in the diet, and the use of glycemic index for dietary planning. We also review the evidence for emerging dietary therapies and provide general recommendations that should be individualized to the patient.

The authors are pleased to share these materials with others at no expense, please credit The MOTHeRS’ Project, Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. We would appreciate you telling us if/how you used these materials.
The MOTHeRS’ Project was developed in 2020 with funding from the United Healthcare Foundation (UHF), ECU Physicians, and the Departments of OB-GYN, Psychiatry and Family Medicine, to utilize NC-STeP - a statewide telepsychiatry program to bring multidisciplinary care to three community-based primary care obstetric clinics in Carteret, Duplin, and Chowan counties. Through this collaborative care model that includes the patient, nurse navigator, diabetes educator, behavioral health manager, primary obstetrician, MFM specialist, and a psychiatrist consultant, the MOTHeRS’ Project brings support and insights of specialty physicians to the identified practices. An additional component of this program will be the Medical Food Pantry to include healthy food bags and tailored patient education to women with high risk pregnancies and food insecurity, living in rural areas. This entry includes English and Spanish versions of The MOTHeRS' Project Plate and Shopping Guide, available in both color and black-and-white. The front-side of this 2-sided handout is the MOTHeRS' Plate, and can be used to provide basic nutrition education to women who are pregnant. The plate design contains recommendations that reflect appropriate daily serving amounts for each food group, emphasizing shelf-stable food items, and includes a reminder to take a daily prenatal vitamin and mineral supplement. The back-side of this handout is the MOTHeRS' Shopping Guide, and lists additional food items, organized by food group, that should be prioritized when collecting groceries, as they are good sources of nutrients identified to be important during pregnancy. Additionally, this side of the handout emphasizes the use of nutritious shelf-stable products, and provides guidance on foods to limit and foods to avoid while pregnant.

This is a weekly Q and A newspaper column under the byline of Dr. Kathy Kolasa. Today's column shares some of the information presented at the Council on Aging's Brainiac Bootcamp and answers a question about multiple vitamin-mineral supplements. We remind consumers that supplements are not regulated by the FDA and offer a word of caution to avoid excess supplementation which can be dangerous, or supplements which may be expensive or interact with medications. Nevertheless, there are some instances when supplementation is helpful, and it is recommended to always talk with your doctor or RDN before starting one. The article ends by sharing findings from a recent study which demonstrated that older adults taking a daily senior multiple vitamin-mineral supplement may help to slow cognitive decline. It offers considerations when purchasing a multivitamin-mineral supplement and what to look for in a good quality multivitamin.
