Associations of Everyday Discrimination With Insomnia and Short Sleep Duration Among Older Women.

Background: Discrimination may contribute to sleep health disparities among women, yet limited research has investigated the association between discrimination and insomnia with short sleep.

Methods And Results: Among a racially and ethnically diverse sample of women (N=25 920; mean age, 72.2±6.

Livestream, group movement program for people living with cognitive impairment and care partners: A randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: There are few widely-available, evidence-based options to support quality of life (QOL) for people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Methods: We performed a randomized, controlled trial with a Waitlist control group to determine whether an online, livestream, mind-body, group movement program (Moving Together, 1 hour, 2 days/week, 12 weeks) improves QOL in people with cognitive impairment (PWCI) or care partners (CPs) and explore mechanisms of action. The primary outcome for both participants was self-reported QOL.

First-generation college graduates have similar depressive symptoms in midlife as multi-generational college graduates.

Purpose: Higher education may protect an individual against depressive symptoms, yet, disadvantaged socioeconomic status (SES) during childhood, often measured by lower parental education, may put them at higher risk for depressive symptoms later in life. This study evaluates if midlife depression is similar for first-generation and multi-generation college graduates.

Methods: For US Health and Retirement Study (HRS) participants ages 55-63 (N = 16,752), we defined a 4-category exposure from parents' (highest of mother or father's) and participant's own years of education, with 16 years indicating college completion: multi-gen (both 16 years: reference); first-gen (parents <16; own 16); only parent(s) (parents 16; own <16); and neither (both <16) college graduates across three birth cohorts.

COVID-19-Associated Misinformation Across the South Asian Diaspora: Qualitative Study of WhatsApp Messages.

Background: South Asians, inclusive of individuals originating in India, Pakistan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal, comprise the largest diaspora in the world, with large South Asian communities residing in the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and elsewhere. There is evidence that South Asian communities have disproportionately experienced COVID-19 infections and mortality. WhatsApp, a free messaging app, is widely used in transnational communication within the South Asian diaspora.

Public Figure Vaccination Rhetoric and Vaccine Hesitancy: Retrospective Twitter Analysis.

Background: Social media has emerged as a critical mass communication tool, with both health information and misinformation now spread widely on the web. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, some public figures promulgated anti-vaccine attitudes, which spread widely on social media platforms. Although anti-vaccine sentiment has pervaded social media throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unclear to what extent interest in public figures is generating anti-vaccine discourse.

Prevalence of otolaryngological disease in a refugee population compared to US-born patients.

Objective: Limited data exists regarding otolaryngological (ENT) disease in refugees and we aim to characterize its prevalence.

Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive chart review of adult US-born, immigrant, and refugee patients receiving care at a primary care clinic between 2014 and 2017. We report the prevalence of ENT disease by immigration status.

Society of Family Planning clinical recommendations: Contraceptive counseling for transgender and gender diverse people who were female sex assigned at birth.

Everyone of reproductive potential, no matter sex or gender, may have contraceptive needs. However, with no professional society guidelines and scant data on contraceptive use for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) populations, clinicians' abilities to counsel patients on use, safety, side effects, and efficacy is severely limited. We know very little about how estrogen- and progestin-containing contraceptive methods interact with gender-affirming testosterone therapy.

Teaching Residents to Teach: The Impact of a Multi-Disciplinary Longitudinal Curriculum to Improve Teaching Skills.

Background: Residents have primary responsibility for teaching medical students, yet many receive no formal teaching instruction. This study evaluated the impact of a longitudinal multidisciplinary teaching curriculum on resident participants' self-perceived teaching skills.

Methods: Residents received instruction on teaching and leadership skills during a four-month longitudinal teaching course.

Opioids for chronic nonmalignant pain. Attitudes and practices of primary care physicians in the UCSF/Stanford Collaborative Research Network. University of California, San Francisco.

Background: We hoped to determine the attitudes and practices of primary care physicians regarding the use of opioids to treat chronic nonmalignant pain (CNMP). We also examined the factors associated with the willingness to prescribe opioids for CNMP.

Methods: A survey was mailed to primary care physicians in the University of California, San Francisco/Stanford Collaborative Research Network.

Patterns of adaptation to Parkinson's disease.

Forty-four 50- to 80-year-old Parkinson patients were interviewed about the effects of the disease on their lives. The Q-sort technique was used to analyze the interview data. In addition, the Symptom Checklist 90, the Mini-Mental State, and physician ratings of disease severity were obtained.
