Firearm relinquishment laws aim to prevent intimate partner homicide, yet enforcement remains fragmented and underresourced. Drawing on 25 stakeholder interviews conducted in California in 2021 and 2024 to 2025, we examined implementation challenges related to domestic violence restraining orders and gun violence restraining orders and explored how recent federal funding cuts have impacted survivor access to legal protection. Findings reveal structural enforcement gaps, design misalignments, and the compounding effects of disinvestment, highlighting urgent needs for policy realignment, sustained investment, and survivor-centered systems.

Objectives. To examine enrollment in Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) produce prescriptions and identify opportunities to expand their reach. Methods. We conducted descriptive analyses of cross-sectional baseline surveys of 21 635 participants (living in the Southern, West, North Central, or Northeast region of the United States) in GusNIP produce prescriptions between 2020 and 2024. We applied geographic information system mapping and inferential statistics to fruit and vegetable intake data. Results. At enrollment, 43.2% of participants were aged 45 to 65 years, 77% were women, 32.7% were Hispanic, 24.4% were non-Hispanic Black/African American, and 26.2% were non-Hispanic White. Mean fruit and vegetable intake was 2.39 cups (SD = 0.78) daily, varying by region. Approximately two thirds of participants reported food insecurity (67.2%). Conclusions. GusNIP produce prescriptions are reaching intended communities, including people with low fruit and vegetable intake, chronic disease risk, and food insecurity. Opportunities exist to broaden reach. Public Health Implications. GusNIP produce prescriptions offer a national lens on Farm Bill-funded policy in action. As "food is medicine" interventions, including GusNIP produce prescriptions, evolve, it is important to understand who enrolls, who is not yet represented, and who could benefit most by extending reach to individuals and their communities.

The Cooperative Extension System (CES) consists of 112 land-grant universities in the United States, including historically Black universities and Tribal colleges. In 2021, CES formed the Extension Collaborative on Immunization Teaching and Engagement (EXCITE) to increase confidence in and access to adult immunizations. From April 2021 to May 2023, EXCITE conducted 111 immunization education projects involving 76 land-grant universities. EXCITE reached more than 18 million individuals, and more than 48 000 COVID-19 and other adult-recommended vaccines were provided in partnership with local health organizations.

Objectives. To examine changes in abortion service delivery for the years before (July 2021‒June 2022) and after Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health (July 2022‒June 2023) at 3 Planned Parenthood clinics in southern Michigan, when several states enacted laws further restricting abortion access, and Michigan became a destination for individuals in restrictive states. Methods. We used monthly abortion data from 3 Michigan clinics to calculate the mean number of monthly abortions and changes in proportions for gestation, method, and patient state of residence for the 2 time periods. Results. Mean monthly abortions increased from 358 before Dobbs to 575 after Dobbs. Simultaneously, out-of-state patients increased from 383 before Dobbs to 1145 after Dobbs and received a larger share of total abortions. Methods shifted slightly, with medication abortions decreasing from 58% to 53% and procedural abortions at less than 14 weeks increasing from 31% to 36%. Most out-of-state patients came from Indiana and Ohio. Conclusions. The increasing number of out-of-state patients and increased provision of procedural abortions represent both increased need among patients from restrictive states and adaptability among providers in protective states such as Michigan-underscoring changes in care amid the rapidly evolving abortion landscape in the United States.

目标。为了研究多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康案（Dobbs v Jackson Women Health）之前（2021年7月至2022年6月）和之后（2022年7月至2023年6月）在密歇根州南部的3家计划生育诊所提供的堕胎服务的变化，当时有几个州颁布了进一步限制堕胎的法律，密歇根州成为限制堕胎的州的个人的目的地。方法。我们使用来自密歇根州3家诊所的每月堕胎数据来计算两个时间段的平均每月堕胎数以及妊娠、方法和患者居住状态的比例变化。结果。每月平均堕胎数从多布斯前的358例增加到多布斯后的575例。与此同时，州外患者从多布斯法案实施前的383人增加到多布斯法案实施后的1145人，在堕胎总数中所占的比例也有所上升。方法略有变化，药物流产从58%下降到53%，14周以内的手术流产从31%上升到36%。大多数州外患者来自印第安纳州和俄亥俄州。结论。越来越多的州外患者和越来越多的程序流产，既表明来自限制性州的患者的需求增加，也表明来自保护性州（如密歇根州）的提供者的适应性增加，这突显了在美国迅速发展的堕胎环境中护理的变化。公共卫生。2025年11月20日出版前在线发布：e1-e8。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308305)。

Hearing loss affects approximately two thirds of adults in the United States aged 70 years or older and frequently remains untreated despite its well-documented harms, including accelerated cognitive decline, increased caregiver burden, and higher health care expenditures. We examine the major barriers to accessing high-quality hearing care, with particular attention to the complex and fragmented landscape of insurance coverage across Medicare, Medicaid, the US Department of Veterans Affairs, private plans, and over-the-counter (OTC) products. We review key legislative and regulatory developments over the past decade, most notably the 2022 establishment of OTC hearing aids, and summarize early opportunities and remaining gaps. We then propose targeted reforms to improve access and affordability, including more consistent Medicaid benefits, selective Medicare expansion, integration of teleaudiology, and strengthened oversight and consumer protections for OTC devices. Finally, we advance a technology-driven policy framework that integrates artificial intelligence-supported risk prediction, teleaudiology, real-time insurance verification, and a transparent device marketplace to modernize delivery and evaluation. Together, these strategies can catalyze a fundamental rethinking of how hearing health is prioritized and managed within the broader United States health care ecosystem. (Am J Public Health.
