Article Synopsis
- The study systematically reviews trends in post-acute care (PAC) use related to race, ethnicity, and rurality for patients who underwent major joint replacement (MJR) in the US over the past two decades.
- It finds that while discharges to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and nursing homes (NHs) have decreased, racial and ethnic minorities, particularly Black individuals, are more likely to be discharged to these institutional PAC settings compared to white individuals.
- The research suggests that to reduce these disparities, policymakers need to focus on social support and address issues like multimorbidity affecting these communities.
Scholars of global health have embraced universal education as a structural intervention to prevent HIV. Yet the costs of school, including fees and other ancillary costs, create an economic burden for students and their families, indicating both the challenge of realising the potential of education for preventing HIV and the ways in which the desire for education may produce vulnerabilities to HIV for those struggling to afford it. To explore this paradox, this article draws from collaborative, team-based ethnographic research conducted from June to August 2019 in the Rakai district of Uganda.
