AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Problem: Sociodemographic identities, including race, culture, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation (race and culture), are recognized as important determinants of health, with significant impacts on patients' health outcomes, but teaching medical students about this is challenging. The authors sought to identify areas for improvement in delivery of critical content about race, culture, structural inequalities, and health disparities within a set of virtual patient cases used by U.S. medical schools and develop revision guidelines.
Approach: A workgroup (medical students and faculty) conducted a literature review in 2017 to identify challenges and best practices for teaching and learning about race and culture in medicine. Using an analytic framework informed by this review, they analyzed 63 Aquifer virtual patient teaching cases for effectiveness of the presentation of race and culture, resulting in six main themes describing common mistakes or pitfalls. They then developed an evidence-based guide for systematic case revision.
Outcomes: The authors present a novel, practical guide for medical educators to use to revise existing teaching cases and improve the delivery of critical concepts surrounding race and culture. This guide includes fundamental definitions and six sections to guide structured case revision based on the main themes. It includes examples of language, suggested edits, and the rationale and evidence for recommendations.
Next Steps: Feedback from faculty and students regarding implementation of the guide and delivery of revised content in Aquifer cases will be critical in determining the guide's effectiveness. This structured guide may be adapted to a variety of teaching modalities in medicine.

Introduction: Ethnic disparities in the prevalence and pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes are well documented, but prospective data on insulin dynamics vis-à-vis pre-diabetes/early dysglycemia risk in diverse populations are scant.
Research Design And Methods: We analyzed insulin secretion, sensitivity, and clearance among participants in the Pathobiology of Prediabetes in a Biracial Cohort (POP-ABC) study. The POP-ABC study followed initially normoglycemic offspring of parents with type 2 diabetes for 5.
Race, homosexuality, and AIDS in London: the response of British AIDS voluntary organizations to Black gay men's sexual health needs during the AIDS crisis (1980s-2000).

Focusing on three specific organizations-The Terrence Higgins Trust (THT), Blackliners, and The NAZ Project (Naz)-this article explores the different ways in which voluntary organizations responded to Black gay men (BGM) in Britain during the AIDS crisis from the 1980s to 2000. Illustrating how the place of BGM in Britain at this time was multidimensional and often contradictory, the first section demonstrates how they required safer-sex messaging that took account of the heterogeneous ways in which they experienced the intersection of racism and homophobia. Situated in this context, the second section explores for the first time the well-documented work of THT as it applied to BGM.

Meaningful and effective community engagement lies at the core of equity-centered research, which is a powerful tool for addressing health disparities in American Indian (AI) communities. It is essential for centering Indigenous wisdom as a source of solutions and disrupting Western-centric perspectives and inequitable and exclusionary research practices. This paper reports on lessons learned implementing an effectiveness trial of the Thiwáhe Glúwaš'akapi program (TG) program (translated as "sacred home in which families are made strong")-a family-based substance use prevention program-in a post-pandemic era with an American Indian reservation community that has confronted extreme challenges.

Background: Inequalities in cancer, palliative, and end-of-life care services remain a significant challenge, particularly for ethnic minorities who face systemic barriers such as limited awareness, cultural stigmas, and language differences. These disparities hinder equitable access to essential services and contribute to poorer health outcomes for affected communities. Addressing these challenges requires targeted, culturally sensitive initiatives that promote both awareness and uptake of care.
