Patient Recruitment: We plan to meet with Memorial Medical Center staff and Marshfield Clinic-Greenwood site staff to inform the providers of the Family Planning Clinic’s role and services. The goal is to create a strong partnership and ultimately increase the frequency of referrals to and from the Family Planning Clinic. Using Facebook (and possibly other social media channels) to advertise the Clinic’s mission and objectives will be an appropriate avenue to reach the younger demographic. We also plan to meet with local tavern owners/operators about the Program as well as school leadership about referral opportunities. Also, as a geographically expansive county, we plan to explore the need and feasibility of opening clinic in the Northern and Southern parts of the county.

KCDOH has been able to integrate reproductive life planning concepts and principles at all three clinic sites since 2012, as well as within our home visiting programs. Many families that visit one of our clinics for immunizations self-refer themselves to the RH-FP program after learning about its availability and services while on site. One example is the physical location of our Wellness Center within the WIC agency office. Since our clinics provide so many varying services simultaneously, it helps to maintain privacy. Nurse supervisors xxxxxx community awareness through regular outreach education, community partnerships, and a Community Advisory Board. For example, KCDOH staff facilitates health and wellness educational outreach programming through the Living Free Rehabilitation Program to persons who have been detained for non-violence alcohol or other drug charges. This program promotes our RH- FP services to a high risk population of men and women who reside in Kenosha County. In addition, KCDOH has two open Public Health Nurse positions that provide support to the KC RH-FP program and are working diligently to hire staff in the Kenosha area that are immersed in the community and various events and activities within the county. Patient referrals to friends and family (i.e. word of mouth) have also been a large source of program referrals.

We hope that this year will again show increases in total clients served. In looking at client numbers thus far, we appear to be on target to do so. We see much of our growth through client referrals to their friends and see this as the highest compliment possible. Actively reaching out to PNCC clients in the third trimester and contacting them after delivery continues to be a focus for client retention, as does outreach as previously mentioned.

Iron County’s reproductive health program is always seeking creative ways to recruit prospective patient for whom the services can have a beneficial impact on their health. In 2016 the program introduced another contraception option, the implant. The addition of a long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) has proved to be a successful tool in keeping our program relevant and viable. The program would
Patient Recruitment. Twelve adult patients with PD will initially be recruited during months 3-9 (Milestone 4,5) of this proposal (statistical justification in section 3.5).

Patients will be recruited from the UCSF surgical movement disorders clinic referred for DBS surgery for PD. Our center is the busiest DBS surgical center on the West coast and currently evaluates over 75 new patients a year for DBS candidacy. Patients with disabling symptoms of advanced PD that are inadequately controlled with medical therapy will be considered for the study. Inclusion/exclusion criteria will be identical to the criteria for patients undergoing surgical treatment for PD by standard methods. Inclusions are: (1) diagnosis of bilateral, idiopathic PD with clinically significant motor fluctuations despite maximized antiparkinsonian therapy (2) at least 5 years’ duration, relative to the date of surgery, since diagnosis of PD, (3) age >21 inclusive, on date of surgery, (4) the subject is ambulatory in their best on time (not wheelchair bound), (5) the subject is medically able to undergo the surgery as determined by clinical and laboratory evaluations (e.g., subjects will have normal coagulation tests and normal platelet levels), and (6) the subject is expected to be able to comply with and understand the required visit schedule and all required tests and procedures. Exclusions will include: (1) a history of any clinically significant medical, psychiatric, or laboratory abnormality for which participation in the study would, in the opinion of a mental health expert (CR), pose a safety risk to the subject, (2) history of treatment of PD by any procedure involving intracranial surgery or implantation of a device, (3) MR of the brain within 12 months before the surgery which demonstrates an intracranial abnormality that would contraindicate surgery (e.g. stroke, tumor, vascular abnormality affecting the DBS target area), (4) any disorder that precludes a surgical procedure (e.g., signs of sepsis or inadequately tr...

RH Nurses continually outreach through many avenues, one of the primary methods of patient recruitment is through our educational presentations to local area school districts and universities/colleges. The educational presentations primarily review the current available birth control methods and their effectiveness, STI prevention, transmission and treatment, as well as our Reproductive Health program services & WI- FPOS. In addition to our educational presentations, Xxxxxx County Health Department (PCHD) offers services for the WIC program, Prenatal Care Coordination/Families First program, and Reproductive Health services at both River Falls and Xxxxxxxxx. PCHD is offered space at numerous Health/Community Wellness/Business Fairs where PCRH outreach and education are provided.
