Article Synopsis
- Effective team-based working in healthcare, particularly transdisciplinary teams, enhances collaboration and patient care but lacks extensive study at the organizational level.
- Research focused on identifying U.S. healthcare organizations that successfully implemented transdisciplinary practices through expert consensus and observation.
- Key findings highlight that successful organizations shared a strong creation story, consistent leadership, and developed a unique organizational language, despite differing paths to achieving transdisciplinary collaboration.*
Dyads can be challenging to recruit for research studies, but detailed reporting on strategies employed to recruit adult-adolescent dyads is rare. We describe experiences recruiting adult-youth dyads for a hypertension education intervention comparing recruitment in an emergency department (ED) setting with a school-based community setting. We found more success in recruiting dyads through a school-based model that started with adolescent youth (19 dyads in 7 weeks with < 1 hour recruitment) compared to an ED-based model that started with adults (2 dyads in 17 weeks with 350 hours of recruitment).

Underserved populations are seen disproportionately in the emergency department (ED) and tend to have worse blood pressure (BP) control. For adults, a lack of hypertension knowledge is a common barrier to hypertension control, while social support is a strong facilitator, and providing information that is culturally sensitive and relevant is especially important in this context.

- - The focused Rapid Assessment Process (fRAP) 2.0 is a community engagement method that combines mapping and quick qualitative assessments to identify factors that affect primary care issues within communities, allowing researchers to better understand complex influences on healthcare delivery and outcomes.
- - This approach involves collaboration with various stakeholders, ensuring that the perspectives of community members contribute to understanding and addressing healthcare disparities, as they are encouraged to be active agents in driving change.
- - A proof-of-concept study using fRAP 2.0 was conducted to investigate cervical cancer mortality disparities among Hispanic women in Texas by mapping relevant data and conducting interviews, ultimately leading to an action plan aimed at reducing disparities in cervical cancer care.
Background: Individuals with a history of cancer increasingly seek health information from online resources, including NCI-designated Cancer Center websites. Centers receive NCI designation because they provide excellent care and engage in cutting-edge research. However, the information presented on these webpages and their accessibility is unknown.
