Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate how socioeconomic factors affect the time between abnormal cervical cancer screenings and follow-up colposcopy in patients at a large urban medical center, focusing on differences based on insurance status.
- - Researchers looked at data from patients aged 21-65 who had colposcopy appointments between January 2021 and January 2022, comparing patient demographics and the waiting times for colposcopy based on whether they were seen by resident or faculty practices.
- - Findings revealed that publicly insured patients in the resident practice waited significantly longer for colposcopy (median of 79.5 days) compared to those in the faculty practice (median of 34 days), suggesting a need to address these disparities in healthcare access.
Background: Adult children provide a large portion of end-of-life caregiving for older adults and make up the majority of caregivers for adults with dementia.

This study aims to describe the caregiving support adult children provide to their parents at the end of life and characterize differences by race and ethnicity and dementia status.
