Does self-directed learning address gaps in nursing student knowledge of Alzheimer's disease?
Educ Gerontol. 2023;49(8):673-686. doi: 10.1080/03601277.2022.2148445.

There is also an increased risk of ...

Community Socioeconomic and Urban-Rural Disparities in Prehospital Notification of Stroke by Emergency Medical Services in North Carolina
CONCLUSIONS: Across a large, diverse population, EMS prenotification occurred in only one-third of suspected stroke patients.

These findings suggest the need for education and quality improvement initiatives to increase EMS stroke prenotification, particularly in underserved communities.PMID:37657786 | DOI:10.14423/SMJ.0000000000001601
