Leigh Ann Simmons, a professor at our School of Nursing, recently published “Patient-Provider Trust as a Key Component of Prenatal Screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES): A Concept Analysis” in the Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health. The concept analysis illuminates the role of trust in prenatal ACE screening to improve patient-provider relationships, increase patient uptake of ACE screening and ensure that ACE screening is implemented in a strengths-based, trauma-informed way. Leigh Ann is one of seven authors of the study. She runs the Perinatal Origins of Disparities Center, which brings together behavioral science and technology research to better understand – and ultimately intervene in – prenatal and early life factors that affect later life health. Congratulations!

Betty’s dedication to improving health care and education continues to benefit countless individuals and communities, including all of us gathered here today,” Song said. Congratulations, grads!
