Immigrant Mothers' Perspectives on Pediatric Primary Care: Challenges and Solutions to Improve Medical Home Use
J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2024;35(1):299-315.ABSTRACTChildren in immigrant families (CIF) constitute 25% of all children in the United States. Known barriers to accessing and navigating the health care system for immigrants (i.e., poverty, fear, limited English proficiency, lack of insurance) lead to decreased medical home establishment among CIF, although the ways in which these obstacles affect medical home access are less studied. With a focus on Congolese, Afghan, Syrian/Iraqi, and Central American immigrants, key informant interviews and focus groups were conducted to identify mothers' perceptions of and experie...

Trusted Communicators: The Role of Navigation Support in Improving Health and Health Care Access for American Indian Elders
This study uses qualitative interviews with professionals providing navigation services to American Indian Elders in a Southwestern state to understand the skills, experiences, and challenges involved in delivering this support. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 16 professionals providing navigation support to AI Elders between November 2018 and August 2020 and used a constant comparative approach to identify themes. Participants' descriptions of their work centered on the themes of (1) respect for Elders; (2) wide-ranging responsibilities; (3) acting as a trusted communicator; (4) developing trust; and (5) chal...

"It Can Be Confusing": Family Perspectives on Food Insecurity Screening in Urban Pediatric Primary Care Clinics
This study sought to understand the lived experiences of families with lower incomes participating in food insecurity screening at two urban pediatric primary care clinics. Forty-three semi-structured interviews were performed in English and Spanish with families with public insurance after well visits where food insecurity screening was documented. Immersion-crystallization analysis was used to identify salient themes. Families reported discomfort with food insecurity screening, but nonetheless found screening acceptable when performed universally and privately. Families shared confusion about how their screening response...

Evaluation of Sleep in Pregnant Inpatients Compared With Outpatients
CONCLUSION: Hospitalized pregnant patients slept about 1 hour/day less than outpatients. Fewer awakenings and reduced wakefulness after sleep onset among inpatients may reflect increased use of sleep aids in hospitalized patients.PMID:38663016 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005591 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Gender and Autism Program: A novel clinical service model for gender-diverse/transgender autistic youth and young adults
Conclusions: Since its founding, the GAP has proven a sustainable neuropsychology-based service with consistent referral flow and insurance authorizations. Capturing staff perspectives through rigorous Delphi methods, and addressing the GAP's feasibility and replicability, this study provides a road map for replicating this service. We also highlight GAP training of specialist clinicians, fundamental to addressing the desperate shortage of providers in this field.PMID:38664066 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2024.2318155 (Source: The Clinical Neuropsychologist)

Randomized Trial of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen PET/CT Before Definitive Radiotherapy for Unfavorable Intermediate- and High-Risk Prostate Cancer (PSMA-dRT Trial)
Conclusion: PSMA PET/CT upstaged 17% of patients, which allowed for more accurate radiotherapy planning. Unfortunately, this trial closed early before completion of target enrollment (54/316, 17%) and was underpowered to assess the effect of PSMA PET/CT on progression-free survival.PMID:38664019 | DOI:10.2967/jnumed.123.267004 (Source: Cancer Control)
