The research invites further exploration into the relationship between breastfeeding support provided by mothers' support system, including healthcare professionals, during the postpartum period and rates of breastfeeding duration and exclusivity.

This article describes the formal use of marketing concepts in a systematic approach to influence farmers to voluntarily increase respiratory protective device (RPD) use. The planning process for the project incorporated six key decision or action points, each informed by formative research or health behavior theory. The planning process included developing behavior change strategies based on a 4P model (product, price, place, and promotion). The resulting campaign elements included print and e-mail messages that leveraged motivators related to family and health in order to increase farmers' knowledge about the risks of exposure to dusty environments, four instructional videos related to the primary barriers identified in using RPDs, and a brightly colored storage bag to address barriers to using RPDs related to mask storage. Campaign implementation included a series of e-mails using a bulk e-mail subscription service, use of social media in the form of posting instructional videos on a YouTube channel, and in-person interactions with members of the target audience at farm shows throughout the Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health seven-state region. Evaluation of the e-mail campaigns indicated increased knowledge about RPD use and intent to use RPDs in dusty conditions. YouTube analytic data indicated continuing exposure of the instructional videos beyond the life of the campaign. The project demonstrates the efficacy of a planning process that incorporates formative research and clear decision points throughout. This process could be used to plan health behavior change interventions to address other agriculture-related health and safety issues.

These results underscore the importance of hospitals adopting evidence-based best practices for breastfeeding. The relationship found between Women, Infants, and Children receiving supplemental nutrition benefits and breastfeeding quit times requires further exploration. The study results also highlight the need to address modifiable factors that may be overlooked in traditional breastfeeding promotion efforts, such as depression and alcohol use.

Could you sentence your own murderer to an eternity in hell? Would you ever be willing to accept his apology and repentance? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Alli was brutally murdered in an alley by a relapsed drug addict she once showed kindness to. Twenty-five years later he is put to death for her murder and ends up in Abeyance, the place people say when they have unfinished business. Alli is waiting for him and, under the rules of the afterlife, Alli is able to decide where Josh will spend eternity. When Josh sees Alli he explains that he spent his life repenting of her murder, is truly sorry for the pain he caused, and found God. Furthermore, he was on drugs at the time, and starved for affection due to a truly horrible childhood of physical and sexual abuse. After hearing all this, Alli must still decide his fate.
