This study examines whether refugees self-identify as a member of the host society. We use survey data of more than 2,500 Somali, Iraqi, Afghani, Iranian, and ex-Yugoslavian refugees in the Netherlands. The results show that economic participation in the host country is positively related to refugees’ national self-identification. In addition, we find that refugees’ social ties with Dutch natives are associated with national self-identification and that the relationship between economic participation and national self-identification is partially explained by these social ties. Perceived discrimination is not related to refugees’ national self-identification. Implications of these findings for debates on immigration and integration are discussed.

Disparities in Access to and Utilization of Surgical Care for Patients with Closed Unstable AO/OTA 44B2 Ankle Fractures and Medicaid.
JB JS Open Access
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California.
Background: Closed, unstable AO/OTA 44B2 ankle fractures are common injuries with similar distributions by age, sex, and race. The purpose of this study was to identify disparities in access to and utilization of surgical care for these injuries.
Methods: Ambulatory patients ≥18 years of age with capitated Medicaid health insurance who presented from January 2016 to February 2020 with an isolated, closed AO/OTA 44B2 ankle fracture with radiographic evidence of instability were retrospectively identified at 1 Level-I safety-net trauma center.
Article Synopsis
- The review emphasizes the need for equitable access to clinical trials for children from Indigenous and diverse backgrounds, which should be a priority in trial design.
- A systematic search of clinical trials conducted in Australia between 2018 and 2022 revealed that over 58% did not report important demographic variables like Indigenous status or ethnicity, highlighting significant gaps in data collection.
- The findings suggest implementing clear reporting standards and encouraging self-identification to improve demographic data collection, which is crucial for fostering health equity and safety in clinical trials involving children.
Dose Planning and Radiation Optimization for Thoracic Conventional, Twice Daily, and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy: A Delphi Consensus From a National Survey of Practitioners.
Pract Radiat Oncol
November 2024
Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California. Electronic address:
Purpose: We sent surveys to a large number of radiation oncologists with active thoracic cancer practices and applied the Delphi method over 3 rounds to generate consensus dose-volume histogram metrics. We used these results to create consensus-based organs-at-risk dose constraints and target goal templates for practical implementation.
Methods And Materials: In this institutional review board-approved study, data were collected using REDCap electronic data capture on a secure server.
