“…These questions were scored based on number correct and were based off of previously studied RH questions as previously described. 6 Long term outcomes such as teen pregnancy rate and school dropout rate were obtained by the McDowell County school board. Demographic and pre-test, post-test, and 6 month data were compared with two-sample test of proportions for dichotomous data or student's t-test calculated via SPSS v22.…”

“…We have previously reported on results from a pilot study that examined whether a telemedicine educational intervention for female adolescent students in MC could successfully promote knowledge of RH. 6 Following promising initial findings, we continued the program the following academic year and expanded the cohort to include male adolescents. Here, we report on outcomes following the second year of this program with the inclusion of males.…”

“…This program teaches reproductive health using telehealth, which is the provision of medical counseling from a distant site through the use of teleconferencing communication. This program was started in the 2014-2015 school year involving only female high school students, 4 and due to positive feedback and improved self-efficacy measures among participants, was expanded to include male students in 2015-2016. 5 Based upon feedback from previous study participants, we expanded our education resources to include web-based modules housed on the program website (www.marshallteentalk.…”

Marshall Teen Talk is an established, successful after-school program that teaches reproductive health to high school students in McDowell County using telehealth. This study focuses on the expansion of this program involving the addition of online reproductive health modules on the program website (www.marshallteentalk.org). The purpose of this study was to identify if the use of online modules contributed to overall reproductive health knowledge among a group of high school students. Topics covered in the afterschool telehealth sessions and online modules included Anatomy, Relationships, Birth Control, and STD prevention. Knowledge scores were measured by a set of 20 reproductive health questions given as a pre and post test before and after the program. Thirty-five students voluntarily participated in at least one telehealth session and/or online module. The majority of students who completed the modules liked the format and found the information to be easily understood. The differences in overall knowledge scores were significantly improved from pre to post-test (14.38 vs. 17.14, p<0.001), however, the completion of the online modules did not contribute significantly to an improvement in reproductive health knowledge.

Asthma is the most common long-term illness in children in the UnitedStates that affects 8.5% of all children (Miller et al., 2016). According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, asthma represented the most common and most expensive reason for potentially preventable hospital stays in children in 2017, with 53,900 hospital stays and $278.1 million in aggregate costs (McDermott & Jiang, 2020). Asthma is associated with high Emergency Department (ED) and Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) utilization in children-almost twice as many compared to adults (Pate et al., 2021). Research hasshown that avoidable ED visits for acute asthma are prevalent in children, which contributes to a heavy cost burden of paediatric asthma on governments, healthcare systems, and on patients and families (Beydon et al., 2016).Health disparities are an important factor to consider in paediatric asthma. Paediatric asthma is more prevalent among children from low-income families and among non-Hispanic Black children and those of Puerto Rican descent when compared to non-Hispanic White children (Zahran et al., 2018). Furthermore, health disparities are implicated in asthma-related ED visits and eventual hospitalizations. In low-income families, Black children were less likely to be
