- Cancer significantly impacts disabled individuals, who have lower participation rates in population-based screening programs that can aid in early cancer detection.
- A study used qualitative evidence synthesis to analyze 32 publications and identified key factors affecting access to screening, including perceptions, support systems, financial costs, literacy levels, and physical accessibility.
- To improve access, screening services must recognize and address the unique needs of disabled people by implementing reasonable accommodations tailored to their requirements.
An accumulating body of evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between sleep and cardiovascular (CV) health. A high level of evidence has linked obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a core vector control strategy used to reduce transmission in endemic areas; however, its efficacy in reducing the sequelae of malaria in pregnancy is not well described.

- Meeting 24-hour movement behaviors (physical activity, screen time, and sleep) is linked to better health outcomes for youth with mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental conditions, but trends and disparities in adherence have not been thoroughly explored.
- A study analyzed data from over 52,000 U.S. youth (ages 6-17) from 2016 to 2021, revealing a decline in meeting all movement behavior guidelines while more youth reported not meeting any guidelines.
- Findings showed variations by factors like age, sex, and ethnicity, emphasizing the need for targeted health interventions for at-risk youth populations.
