Context: Over 40% of pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Women with unintended pregnancies may be less likely to receive timely prenatal care and engage in healthy behaviors immediately before and during pregnancy. Limited research suggests that women with disabilities are more likely to have an unintended pregnancy, but to date no studies have assessed whether intendedness varies by extent of disability.

Background: Brain drain refers to the migration of qualified professionals to developed countries in search of better living and working conditions, and has become a global concern, particularly in the healthcare sector. Migration of highly skilled nurses results in increased workload for the remaining nursing staff, limited access to quality healthcare services, and contributes to disparities in healthcare. Therefore, nursing students represent a critical demographic group for understanding the drivers of brain drain in the healthcare sector.

Background: The lack of inclusion of Latinos/Hispanics in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) clinical trials reduces the generalizability of study findings and hinders our understanding of the mechanisms of dementia, further widening cognitive health disparities. To address this growing public health concern, the purpose of this study is to leverage the national infrastructure of a Consortium between the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) and the Alzheimer’s Association (ALZ) to increase the representation Latino/Hispanic participants in one clinical trial on dementia.
Methods: The study used a randomized controlled trial design and mixed‐method evaluation.
Background: Sleep disturbance is common and distressing for people with dementia, with no known safe, effective treatments. We previously developed and delivered DREAMS‐START (Dementia RElAted Manual for Sleep; STrAtegies for RelaTives), a multimodal non‐pharmacological intervention, and demonstrated feasibility and acceptability. This randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to establish whether DREAMS‐START is clinically‐effective in reducing sleep disturbances in people with dementia at home after 8 months compared to usual care.
