Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

The Vermont crew is excited to be at this session on 25y of the Jackson Heart Study!
It is a national treasure, especially in these chaotic times.
Dr Peggy Doyle @uvmlarnermed.bsky.social is PI of the central lab & biorepository & can help with collaboration.

Really important #NIH supported research using #CDC data:

U.S. Millennials (cohorts born starting in the Reagan years) are not aging well…
Americans aged 25-44 have faced a 1-2 punch. About 1/2 their excess mortality (compared w what you'd expect based on pre-2011 trends) is from increasing mortality in the 2010s.

The other 1/2 is increases since 2019: this age group's mortality only partway recovered from its heights in 2020-2021.
Mortality Trends Among Early Adults in the United States, 1999-2023
This cross-sectional study examines trends in mortality rates among adults aged 25 to 44 years across the pre–COVID-19 pandemic, pandemic, and postpandemic periods.
