Congratulations to C3EN Joyce Chapman Community Grantee John Martin, Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Rush University, on receiving an JOR Spine Early Career Research Award and a Spine Section Early-Stage Investigator Award at the Orthopedic Research Society 7th International Spine Research Symposium!
We felt there should be an organization to help new as well as experienced fathers better cope with the feelings of uncertainty and pressure that sometimes comes with the anticipation of a new child.
Over 95% of the kids that we work with were trafficked at age 13 or younger. Almost 99% of our kids have histories of sexual abuse prior to being trafficked. No child should have to endure the first incident, but absolutely not the subsequent revictimization that occurs.
We expected age, sex, and BMI to be contributors [to back pain], but we found that the top 2 out of 1000+ variables were income and education. Now my research group focuses on how social determinants of health are related to spine disease and low back pain.
Congratulations to John “Jack” Flores on receiving a Joyce Chapman Community Grant for the project “Qualitative Analysis to Understand the Rise of Congenital Syphilis in Chicago, IL”!
