Objectives: While primary care providers are a major source of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in the United States, particularly in rural areas, not all primary care settings offer a full range of SRH services. We aimed to understand primary care patient concerns regarding accessing SRH services, including abortion care, outside of their primary care clinic and if those concerns differed by urban or rural setting.
Study Design: An anonymous survey was distributed over a 2-week period between December 2019 to March 2020 to all adult patients in four primary care clinics in Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming.
Objectives: Primary care providers are a major source of sexual and reproductive health care in the United States, particularly in rural areas, and not all providers offer the same services. This study aimed to understand patient preferences and expectations around reproductive health services including abortion care in a primary care setting and if those expectations differed by urban or rural setting.
Study Design: An anonymous survey was distributed to all patients 18 years or older in 4 primary care clinics in Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming over a 2-week period.
Article Synopsis
- The immediate early gene Arc/Arg3.1 plays a crucial role in neural and behavioral plasticity in mammals, triggered by novel environments and learned behaviors.
- Research identified Arc in two frog species, revealing that its expression pattern is similar yet distinct, with high levels found in the forebrain of túngara frogs during breeding.
- The study also demonstrated that Arc mRNA induction in the brain reached its peak shortly after exposure to mating calls, though expression was consistent regardless of the call's biological importance.
