Qualitative Exploration of the "Guilt Gap" Among Physician-Faculty with Caregiving Responsibilities.

Differences in time commitments and resources contribute to the difficulties of work-life integration for many physician-scientists, particularly for women with family caregiving responsibilities. Understanding the challenges faced by this population is critical for the retention of these critical members of the workforce. We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with recipients of the 2017 Doris Duke Charitable Foundation's Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists (FRCS) and reviewed application narratives from the 2020 award recipients.

Brief Report: Implementation of a Universal Prescreening Protocol to Increase Recruitment to Lung Cancer Studies at a Veterans Affairs Cancer Center.

Introduction: The oncology clinical trial recruitment process is time, labor, and resource intensive, and poor accrual rates are common.

Methods: Research coordinators prescreened potentially eligible patients with confirmed or suspected cancer from multiple clinical sources and entered relevant patient and research study information into a centralized electronic database.

Get Going! Self-focused Attention and Sensitivity to Action and Inaction Effort Primes.

Implicit action primes and inaction primes can directly affect effort in some circumstances. The present research examined if people high in trait self-focused attention were more strongly affected by action and inaction primes. Past work has found that self-focus makes people more likely to encode implicit primes as self-relevant, thus increasing the effects of primes.
