Summary
Community college programs offering support to expectant and parenting students (EPS) effectively provide financial relief. Key challenges include student awareness and scheduling, alongside program identification and funding duration.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Higher Education
- Program Evaluation
Background:
- Expectant and parenting students (EPS) are an underserved population in community colleges.
- A rural, Midwestern state's public health department received a Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) grant to support EPS.
- This study evaluates the implementation of the PAF grant program within community colleges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline the results of an implementation evaluation of the PAF grant program.
- To offer suggestions for programs and evaluators working with EPS in community colleges.
Main Methods:
- A multicomponent evaluation using quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted.
- Evaluation included tracking activities/services, participant surveys/interviews, and staff interviews.
- Quantitative data were analyzed for frequencies, and qualitative data were coded for themes.
Main Results:
- EPS most commonly received concrete support (stipends, gift cards), which relieved financial stress.
- Student participation barriers included lack of program awareness and busy schedules.
- Implementation challenges for staff involved identifying EPS and the short project duration.
Conclusions:
- Community colleges should proactively identify EPS.
- Utilizing peer-to-peer recruitment can enhance program participation.
- Programming should be designed to accommodate students' demanding schedules.

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
