Are Women Physicians Underrecognized for National Awards in Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine? An Observational Study.

Institutions and organizations, including the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM), have committed to embracing principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Notwithstanding this commitment, studies repeatedly demonstrate that women physicians are less likely to receive awards in medicine and research compared to their male counterparts. Whether women physicians are less likely to be recognized with AANEM awards is unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether there is a gender disparity in the AANEM's annual awards. In this retrospective observational study, lists of award winners were obtained from the AANEM website. Award winners' gender was assigned by three independent reviewers based on searches of public professional websites according to established methodology. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Of 154 physician awards from 1957 to 2023, 24 (15.6%) were awarded to women and 135 (84.4%) to men. The first woman to win an AANEM award was in 2003. As the number of award categories increased over time (from 1 pre-1994 to 9 as of 2019), so too did the proportion of women winners. From 1994 to 2003, 3.4% of AANEM awardees were women compared to 17.1% from 2004 to 2013 and 18% from 2014 to 2023. Even over time, the greatest disparities existed for the Distinguished Physician/Researcher and Lifetime Achievement awards. For the AANEM, there is a notable gender gap in physician awards, but this gap has narrowed over time. Further efforts to address systemic barriers contributing to this disparity are warranted.

How to Approach a Child About Concerns for Their Mental Health and Seeking Help: A Delphi Expert Consensus Study to Develop Guidelines on Mental Health First Aid for Supporting Children.

Adults who live or work with children are an important source of support and are gateways to professional help when a child is experiencing a mental health problem. This study aimed to develop consensus-based guidelines on how adults such as parents, educators or health professionals should approach a child aged 5-12 years to discuss concerns about the child's mental health and seek help. A Delphi consensus method with three rounds was used. Experts were recruited from six countries to form three panels: health professionals, educators and people with lived experience (parents and carers, and young people with mental health problems). Statements to be rated were sourced from an online search of websites designed for adults who live or work with children. Further suggestions for statements came from panellists. Statements that reached 80% consensus across all panels were included in the guidelines. 132 participants completed the Round 1 survey, reducing to 54 by Round 3. A total of 248 statements were presented to panel members, with 151 being endorsed and included in the guidelines. These guidelines represent the first recommendations developed for members of the public providing mental health first aid to children aged 5-12 years. Lived experience advocates (i.e. those with lived experience of a mental health problem in childhood and/or caregiving experience of raising a child with a mental health problem) were involved at two stages of this research: As part of the Advisory Group for the project and as expert panel members. Advisory Group members provided input into the conduct of the study and the content and design of the research outputs. Panel members provided their expertise to review every item to be included in the guidelines, proposed new items to be included, and reviewed and approved the finalised output documents.

What is the impact of sports-related gambling advertising on gambling behaviour? A systematic review.

Gambling is a public health issue and widespread advertising of gambling products may contribute to gambling harms. Sports-related gambling advertising includes advertising around sports games or for sports betting products. This review aimed to provide the most systematic and up-to-date review of the literature on the association between sports-related gambling advertising and gambling behaviour. A systematic literature search of quantitative studies up to 13 February 2024 was undertaken following PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria were quantitative studies published in the English language exploring the association between sports-related gambling advertising and gambling behaviour. Traditional database searches (Medline, Scopus, PsychInfo, Web of Science, CINAHL and The Cochrane Library) were undertaken alongside citation, author and website searches. Studies were narratively synthesised, and the overall quality of the evidence was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Twenty-two studies were included in this review covering traditional, digital, direct, embedded, inducement and aggregate advertising. The majority (n = 16) of research was undertaken in Australia on adult populations. Results suggest that sports-related gambling advertising is associated with increases in perceived, intended and actual frequency of (n = 6 studies) and expenditure on (n = 3) gambling, unplanned or unintended gambling (n = 2), the likelihood of gambling (n = 2), the likelihood of using a sponsor's product (n = 2) and, in some cases, the complexity or riskiness of bets placed (n = 2). Studies suggest that the self-reported effect may be more pronounced in higher-risk gamblers (n = 7). Preliminary evidence suggests that specific inducements which reduce the riskiness or cost of gambling appear to be particularly influential (n = 3). Limitations of the evidence base include the lack of standardised measures and use of observational designs. Exposure to sports-related gambling advertising appears to be associated with increased gambling behaviour for a wide range of advertising media. This association may be more pronounced in higher-risk gamblers who are already at increased risk of harm.

Navigating the wild west: a review of guidance on clinical communications using personal BYOD, IM and third-party apps in the UK and Ireland.

The ubiquity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) personal smartphones, Instant Messaging (IM), and third-party apps, has made these technologies compelling for efficient communications between clinicians regarding patient care. However, the sensitivity of patient-related information necessitates secure, GDPR compliant modalities that prevent unauthorised access and ensure confidentiality. This scoping review explores existing guidelines, policies, and regulations that advise clinicians in the UK and Ireland on the secure use of these digital communication tools. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) updated Framework for Scoping Reviews and the PRISMA ScR guidelines, this review examines the literature to identify relevant guidelines, policies, and regulations informing current clinical practice on the use of this technology. Academic databases including OneSearch, Embase, EBSCO, PubMed, Medline, and CINAHL were searched, in addition to hand searches of professional entities' websites, including trade unions, regulators, two national health systems, and several employers. Direct inquiries were made to 69 professional entities via telephone, email, websites, and X (formerly known as Twitter). The review identified 18 papers that broadly recognise the importance of secure communication however, a lack of information on the appropriate selection or configuration of these popular technologies was evident. Most guidelines emphasise general security and data protection standards rather than providing clear actionable recommendations for technology use, thereby leaving a significant gap in technical guidance for clinicians. There is a distinct lack of detailed, specific, consistent technical guidance available to clinicians. This review evidences an urgent requirement for enhanced guidelines that specify the most secure platforms, appropriate features, and configuration to maximise the security and confidentiality of clinical communications. Further research is recommended to develop comprehensive, actionable advice for clinicians.

Analisis Kesiapan Jurnal Akademik di Lingkungan Universitas Tidar menuju Bereputasi Nasional

<em>Scientific journals are crucial for disseminating research and providing up-to-date references in various fields. As such, any research that does not refer to current and relevant journals will lose its significance and novelty. Therefore, earnest efforts are necessary to produce quality journals, particularly within higher education institutions. This study aims to analyze the readiness of journals at Tidar University to achieve accreditation as nationally reputable journals through SINTA accreditation. The analysis refers to the instruments and criteria required by the national journal accreditation system (ARJUNA). This research is a descriptive quantitative study using a literature review method by conducting an online search of journal websites. The collected information is analyzed using content analysis methods to obtain information on the readiness of the journals according to the scientific journal accreditation guidelines. </em><em>Findings indicate that out of 34 journals at Tidar University, 24 (70%) are unaccredited. These unaccredited journals have the potential to pursue accreditation. Journals meeting accreditation requirements include the Journal of Aquaculture Development and Environment (JADE), Journal of Livestock Science and Production (JaLSPro), THETA OMEGA: Journal of Electrical Engineering, Computer, and Information Technology, Jurnal Rekayasa Infrastruktur Sipil, ABDIPRAJA, and Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat (KASTARA). Other journals need to fulfill requirements such as obtaining a DOI, having two years of publication history, and Google Scholar indexing. Based on these findings, the university should support by providing training and mentoring for journal editors to improve management, thereby achieving national accreditation.</em>

ChatGPT, Google, or PINK? Who Provides the Most Reliable Information on Side Effects of Systemic Therapy for Early Breast Cancer?

Introduction: The survival in early breast cancer (BC) has been significantly improved thanks to numerous new drugs. Nevertheless, the information about the need for systemic therapy, especially chemotherapy, represents an additional stress factor for patients. A common coping strategy is searching for further information, traditionally via search engines or websites, but artificial intelligence (AI) is also increasingly being used. Who provides the most reliable information is now unclear. Material and Methods: AI in the form of ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0, Google, and the website of PINK, a provider of a prescription-based mobile health app for patients with BC, were compared to determine the validity of the statements on the five most common side effects of nineteen approved drugs and one drug with pending approval (Ribociclib) for the systemic treatment of BC. For this purpose, the drugs were divided into three groups: chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and endocrine therapy. The reference for the comparison was the prescribing information of the respective drug. A congruence score was calculated for the information on side effects: correct information (2 points), generally appropriate information (1 point), and otherwise no point. The information sources were then compared using a Friedmann test and a Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc test. Results: In the overall comparison, ChatGPT 3.5 received the best score with a congruence of 67.5%, followed by ChatGPT 4.0 with 67.0%, PINK with 59.5%, and with Google 40.0% (p < 0.001). There were also significant differences when comparing the individual subcategories, with the best congruence achieved by PINK (73.3%, p = 0.059) in the chemotherapy category, ChatGPT 4.0 (77.5%; p < 0.001) in the targeted therapy category, and ChatGPT 3.5 (p = 0.002) in the endocrine therapy category. Conclusions: Artificial intelligence and professional online information websites provide the most reliable information on the possible side effects of the systemic treatment of early breast cancer, but congruence with prescribing information is limited. The medical consultation should still be considered the best source of information.

Optimal Search Strategy for Research on Misinformation and Fake News: A Comparison between Search Systems and Keyword Choices

This paper explored the issue of identifying the right keyword and search engine or database to help communication scholars gain optimal experience and obtain the best outcomes in literature searches on the topic of misinformation and fake news. Five major types of electronic search systems were evaluated for their precision (relevancy), recall (sensitivity), and duplication rates. They included discovery layers such as Summon, web crawlers such as Google Scholar, library databases such as EBSCO Academic Search Complete, Journal publisher website search, and specialized journals using 14 keywords to search for the same topic. Based on the findings, Summon and HKS Misinformation Review had the highest relevancy ratings. It was notable that Google Scholar only ranked 6th of the 14 keywords analyzed. The two main keywords ̶ misinformation’ and ‘fake news’ had a lower relevancy rating compared to the other keywords like ‘infodemic’ and ‘news propagation’ which had the highest relevancy scores. The lack of overlap in listing using different keywords and different search systems demonstrated that there was no single all inclusive, top search engine and that using a variety of terms and different search systems was necessary to conduct a thorough literature review on the subject. The study’s findings and their implications for conducting literature searches by researchers in the Global North and the Global South were also discussed.

Birth defects reporting and surveillance in India: a narrative review.

Mortality attributable to birth defects (congenital anomalies, congenital disorders) is increasing in low and middle-income countries, including India. Surveillance is essential to inform strategies to address these disorders. The objective of this narrative review was to document the birth defects surveillance/reporting systems in India, their current status, structures and reporting formats. The review used empirical analysis of retrieved literature to answer the framed research questions. Publications on birth defects surveillance in India was negligible. Website searches yielded information on two surveillance systems. The WHO South East Asia Region-Newborn-Birth Defects (SEAR-NBBD) surveillance for congenital disorders uses a non-representative sample of hospitals to conduct passive surveillance for eight congenital anomalies. The system has a hierarchy of quality control measures to assure data accuracy. The second system is a child screening and early intervention service (the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram, RBSK), which reports data on nine birth defects among children screened at birth, in the first six weeks of life, and till 18 years of age. The RBSK uses existing community-based staff and competency-appropriate screening tools that incorporate defined referral routes to secondary or tertiary level of care. Data from neither of these systems is available in the public domain. The review identified that the strengths and weaknesses of both these systems can be utilized to put in place a potentially sustainable sentinel surveillance for monitoring birth defects in India.

Coercive Control in 2SLGBTQQIA+ Relationships: A Scoping Review.

Existing measures and theories of intimate partner coercive control largely evaluate men's coercion of women. The extent of knowledge pertaining to intimate relationships among other genders and sexual identities is unclear. Guided by a theoretical framework of intersectionality, we examined and synthesized original studies on coercive control by (perpetration) or against (victimization) Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual individuals within intimate partner relationships. We searched eight academic databases for records from 2014 through 2022 and hand-searched review articles' reference lists, supplemented with gray literature and website searches. Using duplicate screening, we identified 1,774 unique documents; 526 met preliminary eligibility criteria and 277 were retained for data extraction in duplicate. Coercive control was more common among minority individuals and was related to mental health challenges. Few studies reported on gender- or sexual-identity specific forms of coercive control, and an intersectional focus was uncommon. This review revealed a lack of agreed definition of coercive control or accepted standard of measurement, and a gap in research with individuals who identify as gender diverse, gender fluid or intersex, or those identifying their sexuality as asexual, pansexual, or sexually diverse.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the fisheries and livelihoods of fishermen in Africa

The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching effects on various sectors globally, including fisheries in Africa. This review examines the effect of the pandemic on fisheries and the livelihoods of fishermen in Africa, analyzing the specific challenges faced by fishermen in Africa due to the COVID-19 and exploring the implications for their livelihoods. It seeks to identify potential solutions and recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders in the fisheries sector. A review of existing literature involved academic papers, reports, and articles on fisheries and the livelihoods of fishermen in Africa. Relevant studies were identified through searches of academic databases and websites. The pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, restricted movement, and imposed social distancing measures, all of which have significantly affected the fishing industry in Africa. COVID-19 has led to a decline in fish production, reduced market access, and increased operational costs for fishermen. The findings call for the urgent need for targeted interventions to support fishermen and mitigate the adverse effects of COVID-19 on fisheries in Africa. Policy measures should focus on enhancing market access, providing financial assistance, and promoting alternative livelihood strategies for affected communities; develop and implement targeted support programs for fishermen to address the specific challenges faced by fishermen during the pandemic; and prioritize measures to safeguard their livelihoods while ensuring sustainable fisheries management.

Ethnopharmacological Insights into Diabetes Management: Exploring Medicinal Flora of Shivalik range of Himalaya in Uttarakhand

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder which is commonly found life-threatening disease and it continuously reducing the life expectancy. It is characterized by hyperglycaemia (raised blood sugar level) resulting from defects in insulin secretion, action, or both. Since thousands of years, medicinal plants are being used by our ancestors for the prevention, treatment or even cure the diabetes mellitus. Utilization of these herbal plants is increasing rapidly last two to three decades due to their lesser toxicity and cost effectiveness property as compared to synthetic drugs. In this review, approximately 30 medicinal plants were described which are native to India and traditionally used by the people living in shivalik range of Himalaya in Uttarakhand (specially Dehradun &amp; Haridwar) for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The data about these plants was collected from science direct, PubMed, web of science, scopus, mdpi, google scholar and different other search engines and websites. This review was conferred in a systematic way as it includes botanical name, family, vernacular name, parts used and pharmacological uses of plants in a tabulated form. There are various scientific evidences behind the uses of some medicinal plants which have been mentioned along with the summary of individual medicinal plant. In this review, all the plants and herbs are easily available in these regions of Uttarakhand and local people traditionally uses these plants as vegetable, seasoning, flavouring and usually consume as a part of their diet. There are some limitations of phytotherapy which limit it to completely replace the allopathic therapy as less bioavailability, less rate of absorption and slow rate of dissolution. But by using various advanced dosage forms (phytosomes, neosomes, liposomes, nanoparticles, nanobubbles, nano diamonds, nanosphere etc.) and method of delivery (various invasive and non-invasive methods) which can bypass these all problems associated with the potency and efficacy of phytochemicals.

Dimdazenil for the treatment of insomnia: a systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder affecting approximately 10-20% of adults worldwide. Despite various available treatment modalities, significant gaps remain in improving sleep maintenance and reducing functional impairments. To systematically review and synthesize studies on the efficacy and safety of Dimdazenil for the treatment of insomnia. A comprehensive search of multiple databases and websites was conducted to identify published and unpublished trials from inception to July 19, 2024. Due to the limited number of studies available, quantitative data were synthesized narratively. This synthesis included four randomized controlled trials. The primary efficacy endpoints of these studies met the predetermined criteria for superiority. Dimdazenil significantly improved certain objective and subjective sleep measures in patients with insomnia, including reduced sleep latency and longer total sleep duration. Importantly, these outcomes were achieved without causing significant excessive daytime drowsiness or impairing daytime functionality. Furthermore, Dimdazenil demonstrated a generally acceptable safety profile and was well tolerated. Most evaluation indicators related to withdrawal symptoms, drug residues, and rebound effects did not show significant statistical differences. The number of included studies and sample sizes were small, and there is a lack of data on the long-term efficacy and safety of Dimdazenil. Dimdazenil offers significant benefits in improving sleep onset and maintenance in patients with insomnia. It presents a favorable safety and tolerability profile while preserving daytime functioning. Future studies should extend the duration and scale to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of Dimdazenil across diverse populations.

Identification of oxidative stress-related hub genes for predicting prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

BackgroundOxidative stress is a cellular characteristic that might induce the proliferation and differentiation of tumor cells and promote tumor progression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). MethodsThe DLBCL gene sequencing dataset, tumor mutation burden data, copy number variation data of Somatic cell mutation data in TCGA were downloaded for data training analysis, along with four DLBCL datasets in GEO for validation analysis. The known oxidative stress related genes (OSRGs) were collected from websites. The weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted on the TCGA DLBCL dataset to obtain gene modules related to oxidative stress and intersected with the known OSRGs to obtain the hub genes, which were used to perform consensus clustering on the samples to obtain new phenotypes. Next, the prognosis related OSRGs were selected through regression analysis algorithms and key genes were identified. These genes were used to establish the prognostic risk model and predictive model, and to compare functional and pathway differences among different risk groups. ResultsThrough website search, we obtained 297 known OSRGs, and after intersecting with WGCNA results, we obtained 26 OSRGs. The TCGA-DLBC samples were clustered into 2 subtypes with these genes and there were significant differences in immune infiltration between subtypes. After regression analysis, we obtained a total of four key genes, BMI1, CDKN1A, NOX1, and SESN1. The risk prediction model established with these four genes as variables has accurate prognostic prediction ability. The key genes interact with 65 miRNAs, 57 TFs, 47 RBPs, and 62 drugs, respectively, and are closely related to immune infiltration of the disease. Among them, CDKN1A and SESN1 had the highest variability. ConclusionsThe key genes involved in oxidative stress could predict the prognosis of DLBCL and potentially become therapeutic targets.

Understanding Searches for ‘Weight Loss’ Using Google Trends

It is common for individuals to seek information online when facing health and nutritional problems, particularly those with lower education level and nutritional knowledge(1). One way to access such information is through search engines, with Google being the most popular, currently used by 92% of the world’s population, with an average of 85.59 billion monthly visits(2). Google Trends is a tool provided by Google, freely accessible, allowing users to observe patterns in internet searches(3). The aim of this study is to identify patterns to predict trends related to weight loss at specific times.Data were extracted from Google Trends over the past 20 years, from 2004 to 2024, using the keywords “weight loss” and “diet.” In Google Trends, users may input a keyword consisting of words or phrases that are relevant to the chosen issue or cases. The duration of time that users wish to examine can be specified. Furthermore, users can explore geographical regions or search worldwide. Figures generated represent search interest based on the highest points on the graph for specific regions and times. The popularity of search terms is relative and depends on the category: search term or topic. Data is normalised and presented on a scale from 0-100, where each point on the graph is divided by the highest point, or 100. A value of 100 indicates peak popularity, 50 indicates half popularity, and 0 indicates insufficient data for the term.Over the past 20 years, there has been an increasing trend in searches for websites using the keyword “weight loss,” with an average interest score of 31. This differs from the keyword “diet,” which has shown a tendency towards stagnation in popularity, although it briefly peaked with a score of 100 in early 2014 and has an average interest score of 53. Both keywords exhibit similar search patterns, reaching their highest peaks each year in January and lowest points in December.For the keyword “weight loss,” the most searches were from South Africa (100), Romania (96), and Vietnam (91), while the lowest were from Italy (4), Japan (5), and the Netherlands (9). For the keyword “diet,” the most searches were from Poland (100), Kuwait (87), and Greece (85), while the lowest were from Japan (2), Thailand (7), and France (11). Users also searched for other related topics or queries including ozempic and intermitten fasting.Our data indicates a consistent increasing trend in searches for weight loss over the last 20 years via Google Trends. New Year resolutions may be linked to peak searches which occur in January. While this data may prove useful for researchers and policymakers, further validation of its validity and reliability is necessary.

Limited Availability and Readability of Spanish Language Patient Educational Material: A Review of the Nation's Top Children's Hospitals.

Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) is a common congenital facial pathology that occurs at higher incidences in Hispanic communities. The authors analyzed the availability and readability of Spanish-written patient education materials (PEMs) on CL/P from top-ranking U.S. children's hospitals to determine the presence of health literacy barriers. Availability of PEM was evaluated by 2 methods: (1) Google search and (2) evaluation of the official hospital websites. For each institution, a Google search was conducted using the phrase, "labio leporino y/o paladar hendido (translation: CL/P) + (hospital name)." In addition, each hospital website was assessed for Spanish PEM availability. Spanish PEMs were then categorized by whether they had been generated by an automated translation function or if they were independently written Spanish text. English PEM readability was assessed using the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG). Spanish PEM readability was assessed using spanish orthgraphic length (Spanish Orthographic Length), the SMOG converted for the Spanish language. Unpaired 2-tailed t tests were used to compare readability. Of a total of 85 pediatric hospitals, 28 (37.3%) had Spanish PEM. Five (6.7%) hospitals created their own Spanish-language document. The average spanish orthgraphic length reading level was 9.49 compared with an average SMOG of 11.38 (P < 0.001). Institutions that did not provide Spanish PEM in any format had a significantly higher SMOG for English PEM of 12.13 compared with 11.38 of those that had SMOG with English PEM (P = 0.04). Health literacy barriers not only exist for Spanish PEM but also for English PEM, indicating an opportunity to improve communication.

Centering racial health equity in systematic reviews paper 4: a systematic review on the use of logic models and frameworks for methodological conduct of evidence synthesis

ObjectivesTo identify evidence syntheses of health interventions addressing racial health equity reporting the use of equity-focused frameworks and logic models. Study Design and SettingThe search strategy included three sources; a search of three bibliographic databases to identify systematic reviews assessing interventions to improve racial health equity, semistructured interviews with diverse group and a targeted organization website searches (eg, National Institute of Health, United States Preventive Services Task Force) to identify relevant logic models and frameworks. The searches were conducted between January 1, 2020, and January 25, 2023. We used a qualitative approach to identify and describe key characteristics of equity-focused logic models and frameworks used in evidence syntheses. ResultsOf the 153 racial health equity-focused evidence syntheses identified, two explicitly used logic models to describe the intervention mechanism. We identified seven existing health equity frameworks from semistructured interviews and electronic search of key websites that were categorized by stated purpose as providing guidance for 1) research, 2) health policy, 3) digital health-care solutions, and 4) clinical preventive services. Two out of seven frameworks included guidance on integrating frameworks or logic models in evidence synthesis while the majority provided contextual information on how to define or consider race or racism as a structural determinant of health. ConclusionThere is limited use of logic models and frameworks in evidence syntheses addressing racial health equity. There is a need for more applied frameworks providing guidance for framing, conducting and interpreting findings of evidence syntheses addressing racial health equity. Plain Language SummaryThe goal of this study was to find reviews of health programs that focus on improving racial health equity, and to see if they used special frameworks or models designed to address equity. To do this, we searched three major research databases, conducted interviews with a diverse group of people, and looked at relevant organization websites (like the National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization) between January 2020 and January 2023. We used a qualitative approach to study the key features of these equity-focused frameworks and models. We found 153 reviews focused on racial health equity, but only two of them used logic models to explain the intervention. From interviews and website searches, we identified seven existing health equity frameworks. These were grouped into four categories: research, health policy, digital health care, and clinical preventive services. Only two of these frameworks provided advice on how to use them in evidence reviews, while most focused on understanding how race and racism impact health as a social factor. In conclusion, there is limited use of frameworks and models in reviews about racial health equity. More practical frameworks are needed to help guide the research and interpretation of these reviews.
