Article Synopsis
- * A study with 200 pregnant women at Al-Qudus Family Medicine Primary Health Centre found that many participants were aware of the risks associated with pregnancy, with high knowledge about complications arising from factors like age and education.
- * The findings suggest that pregnant women in the area exhibit moderately good knowledge of these risk factors, display positive attitudes toward planning and frequent antenatal care, and often seek information from family and healthcare providers.
Background: The US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) held patient-focused listening sessions in Fall 2023 for each of the first ten drugs selected for the Inflation Reduction Act's (IRA) Drug Price Negotiation Program (DPNP). This study aimed to quantitatively describe speaker input at the sessions, including the absolute and relative time allocated to key areas of interest for the DPNP.
Methods: In this descriptive analysis of speaker remarks from ten CMS-hosted patient-focused listening sessions, speaker demographics were examined using video streams, time-stamped transcripts, public data, contextual clues, validated tools, and visual assessment when necessary.
