Salmon is the most commonly consumed finfish in the United States of America (USA), and the mislabeling of salmon is a widespread problem. Washington State is a global supplier of wild-caught Pacific salmon and local salmon mislabeling results in substantial economic, ecological, and cultural impacts. Previous studies in Washington State identified high levels of mislabeled salmon in both markets and restaurants, resulting in local legislation being passed that requires proper labeling of salmon products, including identifying it as wild-caught or farm-raised.

Aim: To identify clinical predictors and develop a prediction model for on-treatment recurrent CAT.
Purpose: To understand multidisciplinary healthcare clinicians' meaningful and challenging experiences providing spiritual care to patients with cancer and their care partners.
Methods: Multidisciplinary clinicians who participated in a communication training program supported by the National Cancer Institute or a palliative care training for nurses (N = 257) responded to two, open-ended questions about meaningful and challenging experiences of providing spiritual care. A thematic analysis of responses using an iterative, inductive approach was conducted until saturation was reached.
Background: Spiritual care is a core component of high-quality palliative care, yet gaps exist in spiritual care provision. Understanding clinicians' levels of confidence around spiritual care and their perceptions of necessary knowledge/skills to enhance their ability to provide spiritual care is foundational for improving delivery of spiritual care in practice.
Objectives: To understand confidence levels with providing spiritual care and perceived needs in relation to the provision of spiritual care among palliative clinicians (nurses, social workers, chaplains).
