Background: The Collaborative Approach for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) Research and Education (CARE) is a recruitment registry that has enrolled over 10,000 AANHPI participants who expressed willingness to participate in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), aging, caregiving, and other health research. We report survey results from 24 of the 28 study principal investigators ("users") who utilized CARE between January 2021 and October 2023 to support their study recruitment.

Method: Users answered five questions on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = Strongly disagree to 3 = Strongly agree) related to (1) user experience, (2) usefulness in accelerating recruitment, (3) improving AANHPI representation, (4) whether they would use the registry again, and (5) whether they would recommend the registry to others.

Fibroblast-derived cytokines interact with and are modulated by neighboring tissue-constituting cells.

What justifies public engagement in health financing decisions?

Bull World Health Organ

January 2025

Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Blockley Hall, 423 Guardian Drive, Philadelphia, PA19104, United States of America.

The World Bank's report, represents an important effort to specify the benefits and criteria of fair processes in health financing decisions. Here we argue that the report's justification for increasing public engagement in health financing decisions, one of its most novel contributions, rests on a widely shared but flawed assumption that public engagement will produce more equitable outcomes. Examining evidence from national-level public engagement initiatives cited in the report, we argue that there is no reason to assume that engaged publics will prioritize equity over other relevant values such as the maximization of population health.

The Impact of Missing Data on Parameter Estimation: Three Examples in Computerized Adaptive Testing.

Educ Psychol Meas

January 2025

Department of Educational Psychology, NEAG School of Education, University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA.

In computerized adaptive testing (CAT), examinees see items targeted to their ability level. Postoperational data have a high degree of missing information relative to designs where everyone answers all questions. Item responses are observed over a restricted range of abilities, reducing item-total score correlations.
