Investigating the Uptake of Hypofractionation for Breast and Prostate Cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Qualitative Study of Physician and Medical Physicist Perspectives.

Purpose: In prostate and breast cancer, moderate hypofractionation (HF) has demonstrated comparable, if not greater, efficacy than conventional fractionation. There is a stark disparity in the uptake of HF between North America and Africa. Using the Consolidative Framework for Implementation Research, we evaluated barriers and facilitators for implementing HF in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Becoming Leaders - A Qualitative Research Study on the Priorities and Concerns of Early Career Women Faculty in Academic Medicine.

Background: Gender inequity persists in high-level leadership within academic medicine. Understanding the perspectives of early career women faculty could clarify how to recruit and support women who pursue high-level leadership. This study explored the specific priorities and concerns that may influence the recruitment of women leaders in the future.

Predictors of future overdose among people who inject drugs in Baltimore, Maryland.

Background: Longitudinal studies of future overdose risk among people who inject drugs (PWID) are needed to inform planning of targeted overdose preventions in the United States.

Methods: The Integrating Services to Improve Treatment and Engagement (INSITE) study followed 720 PWID between June 2018 and August 2019 to evaluate the delivery of mobilized healthcare services in Baltimore, Maryland. The present analyses used logistic regression to identify baseline characteristics predictive of non-fatal or fatal overdose during the 6-month follow-up among 507 participants with overdose information.

"I Had No Idea This Happened": Electronic Feedback on Clinical Reasoning for Hospitalists.

Background: Feedback on the diagnostic process has been proposed as a method of improving clinical reasoning and reducing diagnostic errors. Barriers to the delivery and receipt of feedback include time constraints and negative reactions. Given the shift toward asynchronous, digital communication, it is possible that electronic feedback ("e-feedback") could overcome these barriers.
