Importance: Poor-quality handoffs can lead to medical errors when transitioning patient care. Biased language within handoffs may contribute to errors and lead to disparities in health care delivery.
Objective: To compare clinical information recall accuracy and attitudes toward patients among trainees in paired cases of biased vs neutral language in simulated handoffs.
Importance: Acute back pain is a common reason for primary care visits and often results in low-value spinal imaging.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a standardized patient-delivered intervention on rates of low-value spinal imaging among primary care patients with acute low back pain.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this randomized clinical trial, physicians or advanced practice clinicians were recruited from March 22 to August 5, 2021, from 10 adult primary care or urgent care clinics in Sacramento, California.
Purpose: Empirical evidence underscores both benefits of telehealth visits and persistent disparities in use for Black adults. Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model, we evaluated perceptions regarding telehealth visits among Black and Non-Black adults receiving cancer care from two academic health systems.
Methods: Between April 2022 and October 2023, a survey was conducted among adult patients treated for cancer in the past 3 years.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how cancer patients and their caregivers use social media for treatment decisions and their trust in the information found online.
- A national online survey was conducted with 262 participants, revealing that younger individuals, Black respondents, and those with less education were more likely to rely on social media for health information.
- Findings highlight a digital divide, emphasizing the need for better access to reliable digital information and a supportive environment for patients to verify online content.
Objectives: Text messaging could be effective for determining patient eligibility for lung cancer screening (LCS). We explored people's willingness to share their tobacco use history via text message among diverse groups.
Study Design: Cross-sectional survey.
