Do we know enough about the effect of low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer on mortality to act? An updated systematic review, meta-analysis and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials 2017 to 2021.

Background: For people at high risk of lung cancer, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is proposed as a method to reduce mortality.

Methods: Our objective was to estimate the effect of LDCT lung cancer screening on mortality in high-risk populations. A systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing LDCT screening programmes with usual care (no screening) or other imaging screening programme (such as chest X-ray (CXR)) was conducted.

Developing a Tool for Monitoring and Evaluating a Network Approach to Innovation: Lessons from Year 1 of the SexEdVA Disability-Inclusive Sexual Health Network (DSHN).

Disparities in sexual health outcomes for youth with disabilities require new and creative approaches to address the complex and often individualized barriers facing this diverse population. The Disability-inclusive Sexual Health Network (DSHN) establishes, funds, coordinates, and supports a multidisciplinary network of partners to explore, develop, test, refine, and evaluate innovative interventions that will improve optimal health, prevent teen pregnancy, and address sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for youth with disabilities in Virginia. DSHN developed the Monthly Reporting Instrument (MRI) to support communication, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of the project, and shares findings from data collected using this tool.
