The objective of this study was to understand gynecological cancer (GC) survivors' and their informal caregivers' perceptions about the usability of an educational resource to support their transition from primary cancer treatment into surveillance and/or recovery. After developing an empirical- and experiential-informed educational resource, we used a semi-structured questioning process to understand GC survivors and their caregivers' perceptions about its usability. Data were collected via online focus groups or 1:1 interviews that were audio recorded and transcribed.

These programs have become increasingly conditional and stringent in recent decades based on the premise that transitioning people from government support to paid work will improve their circumstances. However, many people end up with low-paying and precarious jobs that may cause more poverty because they lose benefits such as housing subsidies and health and dental insurance, while incurring job-related expenses.

Our team of knowledge users and researchers sought to conduct and evaluate co-production of a systematic review on decision coaching.
Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods case study within a review to describe team co-production of a systematic review.
Article Synopsis
- Observational studies are essential for understanding health inequities, but it's unclear how well they report equity-related factors in their design and analysis.
- The authors reviewed 16,828 articles from 2020 to 2022, selecting 320 studies to analyze their focus on populations facing inequities and data collection methods.
- Findings showed that while many studies acknowledged health equity, only a small percentage effectively reported key design aspects related to equity, indicating a significant gap in the methodology of health equity research.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines researcher motivations for conducting equity-related health research during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A sample of 320 studies was reviewed, revealing key motivations such as addressing health disparities, improving access through social determinants, and filling knowledge gaps.
- By understanding these motivations, the findings aim to inform the development of tailored guidance to support researchers focused on health equity.
