Changes in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Activities of Family Medicine Departments.

Background And Objectives: Institutional racism causes worse health outcomes for patients of racial/ethnic minority groups via limited access to health care, disparities in quality of care delivered, and lack of physician diversity. Increased attention to racism in 2020 led many medical institutions to examine their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. In the context of increased national attention to health equity, this study sought to investigate the current status of DEI infrastructure by evaluating leadership and support related to DEI in family medicine departments in 2020 and 2021.

Implementation cost analysis of collaborative care for perinatal mental health in community health centers.

Background: Although costs are of key importance to clinic leadership when considering adoption of new programs, few studies examine real-world resource needs associated with implementing complex interventions for chronic conditions in primary care. This analysis sought to identify the costs necessary to implement the evidence-based collaborative care model (CoCM), an integrated behavioral health program for common mental disorders in primary care.

Methods: Ten federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) adopted CoCM as part of a larger national randomized trial evaluating implementation strategies for CoCM when adapted for perinatal mental health.

Evolving Practice and Outcomes in Grade 2 Glioma: Real-World Data from a Multi-Institutional Registry.

: Grade-2 gliomas (G2-glioma) are uncommon. In 2016, RTOG9802 established the addition of chemotherapy after radiation (CRT) as a new standard of care for patients with high-risk G2-glioma, defined as subtotal resection or age ≥40 yrs. Here, we report current practices using real-world data.

Preoperative breast MR imaging influences surgical management in patients with invasive lobular carcinoma.

Introduction: The purpose of the study is to assess the role of preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging on the surgical management of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) and to evaluate whether breast density and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) influence surgical treatment.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 56 patients who were diagnosed with ILC between 2014 and 2020. All patients had mammogram and ultrasound.
