2) Summary: Is the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program worth doing?

Name: Roy Edroso Part B News

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bd3e@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Part B News

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 12 October

Query:

The question is not academic: A little over two years since
Medicare started paying for the MDPP, studies show its adoption
has been sluggish.

But some suppliers (who must get through a rigorous
certification process) are sticking with it and some hospitals
and other organizations offer the program.

Our readers in medical practice would like to hear from anyone
with knowledge of the program -- suppliers, beneficiaries,
analysts, consultants .

If you're providing the program, they'd like to know how you
operate it (where you get coaches etc.) and keep it economically
viable. Also:

- Does the program have a chance to expand in the near future?

- What is the main obstacle to its success?

- Will the telehealth and other flexibilities CMS recently
granted the program make a difference?

What other usefulness, if any, do these stamps have?

If there's no payer issue, can doctors legally use them? What
about administrative matters -- such as letters to patients,
claims appeals and other such business, etc?

Name: Corinne O'Keefe Osborn Happify

Category: Biotech and Healthcare

Email: query-bdf1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Happify

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 October

Query:

Hi Everyone, I am working on a piece about the potential skin
health benefits of getting outside in nature, while of course
wearing sunscreen. Would love to grab a few comments from the
medical community. Short email responses are fine, as this is a
quick turnaround.

Here are the general questions:

Assuming you wear sunscreen and other sun protection ...

1) How might getting out for a hike or bike ride help keep skin
healthy, either directly (e.g. vitamin d) or indirectly (e.g.
reduced cortisol levels)?

2. Time outside reduces stress, why is stress-reduction
important for skin health?

3. In what ways can limited sun exposure help the skin, like for
clearing acne, psoriasis, or other issues? Does it still work if
you wear sunscreen or should you go 15 minutes without it?

4. Studies have found that a lack of biodiversity in the
environment contributes to decreased diversity of the skin
microbiome in people with skin allergies. Does that mean that
people with atopic dermatitis, eczema, or even acne may benefit
from exposure to the diverse microbial life in forests and other
natural environments?

5. Time in nature is associated with improved mood ... does
improved mood contribute to skin health?

6. Does sand or saltwater have any skin benefits (Wound healing?
natural exfoliant?)

7. Finally, what are the best ways to protect skin from harmful
UV rays?

8. Anything else to add about skin health and the natural
environment??

Requirements:

Please only people with an advanced medical degree or
certification, such as MD, DO, PhD, NP, PA, or PsyD

48) Summary: Need two sources - a financial blogger and a new parent - Having a Baby During the Pandemic

Name: Amanda Reaume Northwestern Mutual

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bdbx@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Northwestern Mutual

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 11 October

Query:

Looking for a financial blogger and someone who recently had a
baby during the pandemic.

Pitch: You want to add to your family, but is now the right
time? With the economy recovering but the impacts of the
pandemic still being felt, its understandable to be concerned.
This article will talk through some of the financial and
emotional impacts of having a baby during a pandemic. It will
interview a financial blogger and a person who recently gave
birth.

Possible Subtopics

Job Security: Having a new baby is expensive and requires good
health insurance. With many people being laid off or fired
because of the impacts of the pandemic, it's important that
you're secure in your job before you embark on this journey.
This section will talk through how to prepare for job insecurity
like putting money aside for COBRA just in case.

Difficulty Accessing Support: One of the best things about
having a baby, is that everyone wants to come help out. Having
an army of babysitters means that you can get some rest. New
parents also might want to take advantage of night nurses or
cleaning services to make those early months easier. But with
social distancing, this can get much more complicated and could
potentially be impossible. Could you parent a newborn without
additional help?

Health Care Access and Safety: Health care access is much more
complicated during a pandemic. From going to appointments alone
to having to follow safety protocols and give birth with a mask,
there are all sorts of ways that the pandemic would make it
harder to have a baby. This section would explore some of the
things to consider.

Requirements:

US Based Cannot work for a financial company Bloggers welcome
and don't have to be a new parent If you're interested in being
the new parent source -- must have given birth during the
pandemic. Thanks!

whether the threats of a break-up by politicians about something
other than the claimed motivations, given that officials likely
know the difficulty, hurdles, and time-frame facing an attempt

not voting because they disliked all candidates and topics. I'm
looking for some experts in politics, sociology, psychology,
etc. to discuss the trends that were showing in the data and how
that might apply to this year.
