Background: Virtual consultations are being increasingly incorporated into routine primary care, as they offer better time and geographical flexibility for patients while also being cost-effective for both patients and service providers. At the same time, concerns have been raised about the extent to which virtual care is safe for patients. As of now, there is no validated methodology for evaluating the safety nuances and implications of virtual care.

Introduction: Sexual health concerns are common and significantly impact quality of life, but many people do not seek treatment due to embarrassment and other barriers. A biopsychosocial model of assessment and treatment acknowledges the biological, psychological, and social contributors to sexual difficulties and suggests that all these domains should be evaluated.
Objectives: This paper provides an overview of the major psychological factors contributing to sexual difficulties and offer an evidence-based approach for primary care clinicians to assess and treat these issues.

Hepatitis B elimination objectives can only be realised if new patient linkage to care is matched by long-term patient retention in care. We previously showed in adult chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients that retention in care was inferior in younger patients and in patients from non-Asian ethnicities. The present study explores further the rates and determinants of loss to follow-up in a cohort of 271 young patients (aged 16-21 years at baseline).

Background: Increasing underrepresented racial and ethnic minority group (URG) participation in early-stage Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) research is critical to inclusive characterization of underlying pathology and testing of disease-modifying treatments. One promising recruitment strategy to accelerate URG participation is for healthcare professionals (HCPs) to facilitate referrals. The use of HCP-facilitated recruitment strategies across the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) network, a major referral source for ADRD multisite observational and clinical trials, has not been examined.
