Project description:ObjectiveThe Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program is an option to trainees to help alleviate federal education debt. The prevalence of PSLF utilization and how this may impact career decisions of trainees is unknown. The purpose of this study was to understand the prevalence, impact, and understanding of PSLF participation on trainees.DesignIRB-approved anonymous survey asking study subjects to report demographics, financial status, and reliance on PSLF. In addition, study subjects were asked to report their participation in PSLF, the possible impact of PSLF participation on career decisions, and to identify the qualifications needed to complete PSLF.SettingOnline anonymous survey.ParticipantsThe survey was offered to all physician trainees in all specialties at the University of Texas, Southwestern, University of Wisconsin, Madison, and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.ResultsThere were 934 respondents, yielding a 37.6% response rate. A total of 416/934 (44.5%) respondents were actively or planning on participating in the PSLF program with 175/934 (18.7%) belonging to a surgical specialty. Those belonging to a surgical specialty were more likely to be PSLF participants compared to medical specialties (53.1% versus 42.6%, p = 0.01). For those participating in PSLF, 82/416 (19.7%) stated this participation impacted career decisions. A total of 275/934 (29.4%) respondents obtained and 437/934 (46.8%) wanted to receive formal training/lectures in regards to the PSLF program. Of those actively or planning on participating in the PSLF program, only 58/416 (13.9%) were able to correctly identify all of the qualifications/criteria to complete the program.ConclusionsA large proportion of trainees rely on the PSLF program for education loan forgiveness with approximately 20% reporting participation impacted career decisions. Additionally, the majority may not fully understand PSLF criteria. Programs should strongly consider providing a formal education regarding PSLF to their trainees.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough most health facilities in urban Nigeria are privately owned, interventions to promote optimal breastfeeding practices in private facilities have not previously been implemented.ObjectivesWe tested the impact of a breastfeeding promotion intervention on early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding among clients of private facilities in Lagos, Nigeria.MethodsThe intervention included training for health-care providers on the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative and breastfeeding counseling skills, provision of interpersonal communication and support to women at facilities and on WhatsApp, distribution of behavior change communication materials, and mobile phone and mass media messaging. We used logistic regression models adjusted for clustering to measure intervention impact in a cohort of women (n = 1200) at 10 intervention and 10 comparison facilities interviewed during their third trimester and at 6 and 24 weeks postpartum.ResultsThe intervention significantly increased the percentage of infants who were exclusively breastfed at 6 weeks (83% intervention; 76% comparison; P = 0.02) and 24 weeks (66% intervention; 52% comparison; P < 0.001), but had no impact on early initiation of breastfeeding (35% intervention; 33% comparison; P = 0.65). Among infants who were exclusively breastfed at 6 weeks, the odds of continued exclusive breastfeeding at 24 weeks were higher in the intervention arm than in the comparison arm (OR, 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2-2.1). Infants had increased odds of being exclusively breastfed at 6 weeks if their mothers discussed breastfeeding with a private health provider (OR, 2.3; 95% CI: 1.5-3.4), received text or WhatsApp messages about breastfeeding (OR, 1.7; 95% CI: 1.0-2.7), or heard breastfeeding radio spots (OR, 4.2; 95% CI: 1.2-14.7). Infants had increased odds of exclusive breastfeeding at 24 weeks if their mothers participated in a WhatsApp breastfeeding support group (OR, 1.5; 95% CI: 1.0-2.2).ConclusionsA breastfeeding intervention in private health facilities in Lagos increased exclusive breastfeeding. Implementation of breastfeeding interventions in private facilities could extend the reach of breastfeeding promotion programs in urban Nigeria. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT04835051.
