Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease and related dementias impact over 55 million people worldwide, and low recruitment rates in clinical trials pose a significant challenge that could potentially be improved through natural language processing (NLP) technologies for identifying eligible participants.
- A study assessed the usability of three NLP-driven prescreening tools among 60 clinical research staff, finding that usability varied, with Leaf scoring highest, and cognitive complexity influenced by factors like age and computer literacy but not usability.
- The findings underscore the need for careful task management, effective training, and clear eligibility criteria when implementing NLP tools in ADRD research to enhance usability and support increased participant recruitment.
Cisgender men are diagnosed with HIV at a rate four times greater than cisgender women, with 71% of infections attributed to male-male sexual contact. Despite expanding accessibility, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention is initiated by only 30% of people with PrEP indications. Five focus groups with 42 young men who have sex with men from New York and Alabama were conducted to identify key factors to PrEP initiation and persistence.

We postulate that group-based Sleep Apnea Management (SAM) clinic, which harnesses the benefits of providing mutual support as well as facilitates access to system-based resources and education, will confer improvements in PAP adherence.
Methods: Data from SAM clinic attendees from January 2017 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.
