Maternity care services in the United Kingdom have undergone drastic changes due to pandemic-related restrictions. Prior research has shown maternity care during the pandemic was negatively experienced by women and led to poor physical and mental health outcomes in pregnancy. A synthesis is required of published research on women's experiences of maternity care during the latter half of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Examining the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Effectiveness of Remote Training on Community-Based Participatory Research: Single-Arm Pre-Post Pilot Study.

Over the past decade, a growing body of scientific evidence has demonstrated that community engagement in research leads to more relevant research, enhances the uptake of research findings, and improves clinical outcomes. Despite the increasing need for the integration of community engagement methodologies into the scientific inquiry, doctoral and master's level competencies in the field of psychiatry often lack dedicated training or coursework on community engagement methodologies.

To inform early intervention, this study describes correlates of substance use among young people with serious mental illness (SMI) enrolled in integrated care in community mental health settings. 227 adults ages 18-35 were assessed for clinical characteristics and substance use. Logistic regressions were used to describe relationships between substance use and participant characteristics. Over a third (38.9%) reported daily cannabis, 15.9% past month other illicit drug, 13.5% frequent/heavy alcohol and 47.4% any of these; 50.2% reported daily tobacco smoking and 23.3% current vaping. Daily cannabis and tobacco were the most common combination. Alcohol, drug, and cannabis with tobacco were associated with higher mental health symptoms but not with emergency room or hospital utilization. Cannabis and other substance use was common and associated with higher symptoms but not with greater hospital utilization, suggesting that early intervention could prevent long-term negative consequences.

Clinician-Spoken Plain Language in Health Care Encounters: A Qualitative Analysis to Assess Measurable Elements.

Yen RW, Hagedorn R, Durand MA, Leyenaar JK, O'Malley AJ, Saunders CH, Isaacs T, Elwyn G

2024 Feb 27;doi: 10.1097/ACM.0000000000005666

Good communication and use of plain language in health care encounters improves outcomes, including emotional health, symptom resolution, and functional status. Yet there is limited research on how to measure and report spoken plain language, which is the use of familiar, clear language. The authors aimed to describe key, measurable elements of spoken plain language that can be assessed and reported back to clinicians for self-reflection.

Bardach SH, Perry AN, Cavanaugh ET, Mulley AG Jr

The Susan and Richard Levy Healthcare Delivery Incubator is designed to bring about rapid, sustainable, scalable, and transformational health care redesign. All 10 projects in the initial 3 cohorts of teams embraced the Incubator process-forming diverse teams and following a design-thinking informed curriculum-and each successfully implemented improvements or innovations by the end of their project. The purpose of this article is to identify the key features of teams' work that may help account for projects' success. For the 10 projects completed, findings from debrief interviews and staff observations were examined to identify processes key to project's success. Analysis highlighted cross-project learnings that indicate nonclinical aspects of care delivery that play a critical role in project innovation success. Innovating health care delivery requires considering social and political determinants of health. The Incubator's process and structures enable teams to identify and respond to a broad range of health determinants.

Community pharmacies are well-positioned to improve the health of people with opioid use disorder and who use drugs by providing naloxone and other essential public health supplies. Respond to Prevent (R2P) is a clinical trial which sought to accelerate provision of harm reduction materials through a multicomponent intervention that included in-store materials, online training, and academic detailing.

Oncology outreach is a common strategy for extending cancer care to rural patients. However, a nationwide characterization of the traveling workforce that enables this outreach is lacking, and the extent to which outreach reduces travel burden for rural patients is unknown.

Children with medical complexity (CMC) may be at increased risk of rural-urban disparities in health care delivery given their multifaceted health care needs, but these disparities are poorly understood. This study evaluated rural-urban disparities in health care delivery to CMC and determined whether Medicaid coverage, co-occurring disability, and community poverty modified the effects of rurality on care delivery.
