Lessons learned from the past five years' growth of the consumer-driven health movement bodes well for its longevity in the marketplace. The authors of this article review the results achieved by early adopters of consumer-driven health initiatives and the success strategies they've used in the areas of plan design, pricing, integration with wellness initiatives, communication and vendor selection. They conclude with a case example of how a transportation service company experienced substantial consumer-driven health plan enrollment and achieved a significant number of the key predictive success steps along the way.

Background: People with disabilities (PWD) face health disparities due to barriers that limit their access to essential healthcare services. During the COVID-19 pandemic, health disparities among PWD increased as stay-at-home mandates and other safety measures interrupted access to healthcare and social services. Community-based and consumer-driven Centers for Independent Living (CILs) attempt to reduce disparities faced by PWD by providing information and referrals, peer counseling, and advocacy.

Background: Diabetes and pregnancy studies have found better outcomes when interventions were developed with consumer (individuals with lived experience of diabetes) and community involvement. When consumers are central to development and delivery of interventions, study participants have better engagement and outcomes, particularly for individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) and/or lower socio-economic backgrounds. Our study aims to examine the scope of consumer and community involvement (CCI) in the construction and implementation of pre-pregnancy care (PPC) interventions and discuss a framework for consumer-lead intervention development.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the current legality and practices of online pharmacies selling antibiotics in the UK, noting a shift from mostly consumer-driven decisions in 2016 to more regulated practices now.
- - The research involved analyzing 20 online pharmacy websites for evidence of registration, prescription requirements, and information provided to consumers regarding their health before purchasing antibiotics.
- - Findings show that while all analyzed pharmacies require a prescription and are registered in the UK, there are still significant variations in how consumer-driven these choices are, presenting a need for better regulations and guidelines in online antibiotic sales.

In densely populated urban areas, air quality is one of the main concerns, affecting human health and the environment. In developing and emerging countries, an alternative method for reducing the effects of air pollution is to select vehicles with lower pollutant emissions, as a way of making these large centers more sustainable. Since the complete elimination of vehicle emissions is not possible in the short term.

Study Question: Can we develop a prediction model for the chance of a live birth following the transfer of an embryo created using donated oocytes?
Summary Answer: Three primary models that included patient, past treatment, and cycle characteristics were developed using Australian data to predict the chance of a live birth following the transfer of an embryo created using donated oocytes; these models were well-calibrated to the population studied, achieved reasonable predictive power and generalizability when tested on New Zealand data.
What Is Known Already: Nearly 9% of ART embryo transfer cycles performed globally use embryos created using donated oocytes. This percentage rises to one-quarter and one-half in same-sex couples and women aged over 45 years, respectively.
