Folate nutrition status in mothers of the Boston birth cohort, sample of a US urban low-income population.
Researchers examined maternal folic acid supplementation and plasma folate concentrations in the Boston Birth Cohort, a predominantly urban, low-income, minority population. Their findings indicated that fewer than 5 percent of mothers in the Boston Birth Cohort started folic acid supplements before pregnancy, and approximately one third of mothers had either too low or too high plasma folate levels.

Identifying subgroups of adult superutilizers in an urban safety-net system using latent class analysis: implications for clinical practice.
The objective of the study was to identify clinically distinct subgroups of adult superutilizers. The overall cohort had high rates of multiple chronic medical conditions, mental health and substance use disorders, and homelessness. However, the patterns of these conditions were different between subgroups, providing important information for tailoring interventions.
