One in six US families with children live in poverty. Our new study in @JAMAHealthForum shows how anti-poverty programs like the 2021 Child Tax Credit (CTC) can improve health and nutrition. A🧵1/7
The 2021 Child Tax Credit monthly payments were associated with improved self-reported adult health & food security. Cash transfers for families may be effective tools in improving health and nutrition.

Two-thirds of child victims (12 and younger) of firearm homicide die at home. These cases are associated with intimate partner violence, child abuse, and parental violence. We need policy solutions! Thanks @JAMASurgery for sharing our work @APSASurgeons @bnaikma @AAPexperience
Nearly one-quarter of pediatric firearm-related homicides occurred at home. Young children were more often affected.

I was 17 when I scrubbed into my first surgery at OHSU.
17 years and (literally) half a life later I’m overjoyed to share that I will be starting my first attending job where it all started as an Assistant Professor of Surgery focused on Bariatrics and Foregut @OHSUNews
