Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing healthcare disparities among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations rooted in historical traumas and systemic marginalization.
Methods: This study conducted at a single Indian Health Service (IHS) clinic in central Michigan evaluates two educational interventions for enhancing COVID-19 knowledge and attitudes in a sample AI/AN population. Utilizing a pre/post-intervention prospective study design, participants received either a video or infographic educational intervention, followed by a survey assessing their COVID-19 knowledge and attitudes.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of mediports for administering CAR T cell therapy in patients with B-cell malignancies, aiming to establish standardized practices in this area due to previous concerns about effectiveness and safety.
- Data was collected from 34 medical centers, analyzing 504 CAR T cell infusions, making it one of the largest reports on this topic since CAR T cell commercialization began in 2017.
- Results showed that 85% of centers accepted mediports as standard practice, with no incidents of CAR T cell infiltration reported among the 184 patients infused via mediports, supporting their safe use in clinical settings.
