WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Star Families (BSF), a non-profit dedicated to supporting military families and strengthening communities across the United States, has launched the 11th annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey (aMFLS). For six weeks, members, families, and veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves are encouraged to participate in the most comprehensive survey that highlights and analyzes the experiences and challenges facing military families today across the country.

This year’s survey seeks data more representative of the collective voices of Black, Hispanic and Asian members of the military, and BSF is strongly encouraging and inviting members and veterans of all races to participate in this year’s survey ensure a more representative and diverse set of data. While almost a third of active-duty forces are men and women of color, these groups are often underrepresented in measures of family stability and wellbeing. More diverse data collection and representation of their experiences as military members is integral to assisting BSF in helping to address the issues faced by those categories of members.

Black, Hispanic and Asian voices must be heard to help ensure the efficacy, and reaction to, the survey.

First launched in 2009 the aMFLS provides a yearly snapshot of the state of military families, offering crucial insight and data to help inform policymakers, national and local leaders, communities, and philanthropic actors about the key issues affecting military families and how to bridge the civilian-military divide. The survey addresses topics including the impact of military life on employment and finance, family stability, healthcare and mental health, childcare and education, among others. With more than 11,000 respondents having participated in 2019, the aMFLS is the largest survey of its kind.

«The annual Military Family Lifestyle Survey is our flagship initiative, and we are calling on military families from all backgrounds to be a voice for their community and drive action that improves the lives of those who serve our country,» said Kathy Roth-Douquet, CEO of Blue Star Families. «With less than one half of one percent of the U.S. population serving today, we are putting a spotlight on the unique challenges facing these families and strengthening community ties with our civilian neighbors. Bringing these issues to the forefront is the first step in strengthening the welfare of our military personnel and the security of our nation as a whole.»

The 2019 survey results revealed military family respondents ranked time away from family, military spouse employment, and dependent children’s education as three of the top five issues of concern. The results highlighted that instability for military families, such as frequent relocation or separation from the service member, can affect their financial readiness, including the spouse’s ability to find employment, or the ability to find available and affordable childcare.

Blue Star Families’ mission is to be a voice for – and provide frontline resources to – America’s service members and their families year-round, especially during the COVID-19 crisis. As military families face heightened challenges due to the pandemic, the 11th annual survey will play a critical role in gathering data on financial stress, food insecurity, the need for emergency assistance, and more during this historic year.

The survey is open to all active-duty service members, veterans, National Guard, Reserve, and their families and individuals can participate in the survey HERE between September 8th and October 16th, 2020. The 2020 survey findings will be released in early 2021.To learn more about how to support or join Blue Star Families, click here.

As Americans, Including President Donald J. Trump, Test Positive for COVID-19, the COLCORONA Trial Opens More Enrollment Sites Across the United States and Internationally

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With rising numbers of Americans testing positive for COVID-19, including President Trump, the <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With rising numbers of Americans testing positive for COVID-19, including President Trump, the COLCORONA trial adds enrollment sites in the United States and including locations in Mississippi, Arizona, Minnesota, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida. The trial is testing an available and affordable generic drug (colchicine) in the at-home setting.

The international COLCORONA clinical trial is evaluating colchicine, a common drug for gout, as a potential treatment to reduce severity of illness, complications, and hospitalizations due to COVID-19.  Previous polling showed that Americans were more likely to receive information about the health and treatments of their political leaders than their option to enroll in a clinical trial through media sources. A Harris Poll survey shows over 60% of Americans have heard or read little to nothing at all about available clinical trials for newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients involving generic medications or drugs that are already approved for other uses (8/16/2020).

Current research with COVID-19 is showing a link between inflammation and severe progression of disease. Recent studies have shown the potential of the anti-inflammatory agent colchicine to reduce symptom severity and mortality in patients afflicted with COVID-19.

«Unfortunately, a significant number of Americans are unaware of clinical trials like COLCORONA that are testing treatments available immediately upon results,» said Dr. Jean-Claude Tardif, Director of the Research Center at the Montreal Heart Institute, Professor of Medicine at the University of Montreal, and COLCORONA principal investigator. «Results from the large definitive COLCORONA trial, which has enrolled close to 2500 with a goal to 6000 patients, may eventually offer an important option to prevent COVID-19 complications including hospitalizations in newly diagnosed at-home patients.»

The COLCORONA trial continues to expand enrollment with sites in the United States in California (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Bakersfield), Texas (Houston, Dallas), Florida (Miami, Jacksonville), Arizona (Yuma and Phoenix), Rochester (Minnesota), Greenville (South Carolina), Chapel Hill (North Carolina), Hattiesburg (Mississippi) and the New York tri-state area as well as in Canada, Spain, Brazil and South Africa, with more sites continually added.

Non-hospitalized patients aged 40 years and above, diagnosed with COVID-19, can participate for free by calling the hotline at 1-877-536-6837. Once enrolled in the study, they will have the medicine or placebo delivered directly to their home and will also have the support of a dedicated healthcare team 24/7 for any questions. COLCORONA is an at-home, contact-less clinical study approved by health authorities that is designed to have minimal burden on patients and is one of the few current studies of COVID-19 infection in which non-hospitalized individuals can participate.

About the COLCORONA Trial
COLCORONA is a contact-free, at-home, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, and South Africa. COLCORONA is coordinated by the Montreal Health Innovations Coordinating Center (MHICC) and funded by the Government of Quebec, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH). Montreal philanthropist Sophie Desmarais, Pharmascience, CGI, and DACIMA are also collaborators of COLCORONA.

The Montreal Heart Institute and its partners worldwide would like to thank all the patients and investigators for their continued participation in the COLCORONA study.

Previous Honda Manufacturing Day events have typically included in-person plant tours, presentations and problem-solving simulations for students. Hosting this year’s event required some creative thinking, as Honda associates devised a compelling virtual Manufacturing Day to share their manufacturing know-how with students from high schools, STEM academies, technical centers and two- and four-year colleges.

More than 80 schools were invited to take part in virtual activities on Friday to show the many opportunities available through a career in manufacturing. Leaders from several Honda facilities participated in live question-and-answer sessions with students, providing valuable insight about the industry, and the benefit it provides to society. The students learned about innovative processes used in Honda facilities to produce advanced products ranging from automobiles to aircraft.

«Honda has been a true industry leader in helping to build the modern manufacturing workforce,» said Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers and chairman of the board of The Manufacturing Institute. «From its commitment to MFG Day to its historic investment in our Creators Wanted campaign, Honda is showing students, parents and educators the extraordinary opportunities available in our high tech industry. The NAM and The Manufacturing Institute are proud to continue our longstanding partnership with Honda as we inspire a new generation of creators to pursue rewarding careers.»

Honda supplemented these live video meetings with activities designed to mirror the problem solving that takes place every day in the manufacturing setting. In addition, Honda shared the popular EdHeads manufacturing video game with the schools. The game, which provides players with a number of manufacturing-based challenges to solve, has been played more than 620,000 times since it was created with Honda’s support in 2015.

Honda also established a Manufacturing Day website, which features videos about manufacturing and information about the many career opportunities available in the field, as well as a recording of today’s live event.

«The future success of Honda, and society as a whole, relies on developing the next generation of people who are passionate about making and building things,» said Rick Schostek, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. «Manufacturing Day is a great opportunity to shine a light on our industry, showcase our commitment to the next generation workforce and let society know about the outstanding careers and opportunities that exist in manufacturing.
