Increasing Participation and Completion Rates in Questionnaire Surveys of Primary Care Patients: Cluster-Randomized Study.

Background: Participation and completion rates in questionnaire-based surveys are often low.

Objective: This study aims to assess participation and completion rates for a survey using paper and mixed mode questionnaires with patients recruited by research assistants in primary care waiting rooms.

Methods: This cluster-randomized study, conducted in 2023 in France, involved 974 patients from 39 practices randomized into 4 groups: "paper with incentive" (n=251), "paper without incentive" (n=368), "mixed mode with tablet" (n=187), and "mixed mode with QR code" (n=168).

Translation and validation of the meat attachment questionnaire (MAQ) in a French general practice population.

Meat consumption has significant implications for both individual health and the environment. Understanding individuals' attachment to meat is crucial for designing effective interventions to reduce consumption. The MAQ is a tool developed to assess individuals' attachment to meat.

Regorafenib-Triggered Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis: A Report of Two Cases.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, potentially fatal condition, characterized by overactivation of the immune system. It can manifest as primary or secondary when triggered by infections, neoplasms, or medications. We report here two cases of regorafenib-induced HLH, one of which was life-threatening.

Validity of a four-item questionnaire in French assessing attachment to meat.

Background: The 16-item Meat Attachment Questionnaire (MAQ-16) assesses emotional and cognitive attachment to meat across four dimensions: hedonism, affinity, entitlement, and dependence. Recently validated in French, we aimed to develop and validate a shorter, four-item version (MAQ-4) to reduce participant burden.

Methods: In this 2023 observational study in the Rhône-Alpes region, 919 primary care patients were invited to complete the French MAQ-16 (MAQ-16).
