Abstract Background: Palliative care can alleviate symptom burden, reduce psychosocial distress, and improve quality of life for patients suffering from serious or life-threatening illnesses. However, the extent to which U.S. adults are aware of or understand the goals and benefits of palliative care is not well understood. Public awareness of palliative care is necessary to change norms and create demand, and as such, limited awareness may be a significant barrier to palliative care uptake. An assessment of current palliative care awareness in the United States is needed to inform the health care sector's improving palliative care communication and delivery. Objective: To examine the prevalence of palliative care awareness among a nationally-representative sample of U.S. adults and to identify sociodemographic and health-related characteristics associated with palliative care awareness. Design: Weighted data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 5, Cycle 2 [2018], N = 3445) were used to produce frequencies of the characteristics, and associations with palliative care awareness were determined through multiple logistic regression. Results: An estimated 71% of U.S. adults reported having never heard of palliative care. Older individuals, those with higher educational attainment, women, and whites (vs. nonwhites) had greater odds of palliative care awareness. Conclusions: These data suggest there is limited awareness of palliative care in the United States, despite its documented benefits. Addressing this awareness gap is a priority to change norms around using palliative care services. Community- and population-based interventions are necessary to raise awareness and inform the public about palliative care.

Background The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stress reduction via the Transcendental Meditation program on school rule infractions in adolescents. Methods Forty-five African American adolescents (ages 15–18 years) with high normal systolic blood pressure were randomly assigned to either Transcendental Meditation (n = 25) or health education control (n = 20) groups. The meditation group engaged in 15-min sessions at home and at school each day for 4 months. The control group was presented 15-min sessions of health education at school each day for 4 months. Primary outcome measures were changes in absenteeism, school rule infractions and suspension days during the four-month pretest period prior to randomization compared with the four-month intervention period. Results Comparing the pretest and intervention periods, the meditation group exhibited a mean decrease of 6.4 absentee periods compared to an increase of 4.8 in the control group (p < .05). The meditation group exhibited a mean decrease of 0.1 infractions over the four months compared to an increase of 0.3 in the control group (p < .03). There was a mean reduction of 0.3 suspension days due to behavior-related problems in the meditation group compared to an increase of 1.2 in the control group (p < .04). Conclusion These findings demonstrate that the Transcendental Meditation program conducted in the school setting has a beneficial impact upon absenteeism, rule infractions, and suspension rates in African American adolescents.

This is one of my favourite quilt shows in Melbourne. This year it moved to a new venue and it was as fabulous as always. Again I enjoyed the company of my dear friends Christine and Ann. The quilts were wonderful. Here are just a few of my favourites. Gorgeous Melanie was one of the white glove ladies and she showed us the back of a number of quilts, including this brilliant one. I am so in love with the backing fabric. I just can't resist a hexie or two. I'll share some more tomorrow. I always really enjoy a trip over to Molly Makes.com and fell in love with this beautiful cosmetic bag designed by Kate Smith of The Makery. You can find this pattern and a great tutorial HERE at Molly Makes. Hope you have time for some stitching today Love
