A Digital Tool for Clinical Evidence–Driven Guideline Development by Studying Properties of Trial Eligible and Ineligible Populations: Development and Usability Study

A Digital Tool for Clinical Evidence–Driven Guideline Development by Studying Properties of Trial Eligible and Ineligible Populations: Development and Usability Study

Both types of analysis were agreed to produce summaries as tables of numbers for age, gender, ethnicity, and indices of multiple deprivations (IMD) groupings for the selected condition. These summaries were also expanded to demonstrate frailty (measured by the e FI), comorbidity (measured with the Charlson score), the prevalence of comorbidities, and current drug prescription. Additionally, it was highlighted to produce rates of hospitalization and mortality.

Addressing Information Biases Within Electronic Health Record Data to Improve the Examination of Epidemiologic Associations With Diabetes Prevalence Among Young Adults: Cross-Sectional Study

Addressing Information Biases Within Electronic Health Record Data to Improve the Examination of Epidemiologic Associations With Diabetes Prevalence Among Young Adults: Cross-Sectional Study

We estimated odds ratios (OR) for diabetes by race or ethnicity and asthma status under 4 EHR-based estimation methods that we describe herein. First, “naïve” models were estimated by fitting a logistic regression model for observed diabetes status (DM*) on the total sample (n=454,612).

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mobile App Use for Meeting Sexual Partners Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men and Young Transgender Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mobile App Use for Meeting Sexual Partners Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men and Young Transgender Women: Cross-Sectional Study

Despite substantial evidence that Black YMSM-YTW experience sexual racism in online dating, there is no evidence about whether this results in quantifiable differences in online sexual partnering by race and ethnicity. Research consistently finds high levels of within–race and ethnicity sexual partnering among young MSM [7,13-17]. A recent study suggested that sexual exclusivity among Black sexual minority men may be partially protective against the psychological impacts of racial discrimination [18].

Digitally Enabled Peer Support and Social Health Platform for Vulnerable Adults With Loneliness and Symptomatic Mental Illness: Cohort Analysis

Digitally Enabled Peer Support and Social Health Platform for Vulnerable Adults With Loneliness and Symptomatic Mental Illness: Cohort Analysis

We used ANOVA to assess engagement and changes in clinical outcomes by age, race/ethnicity, and gender. The study was approved by the WCG Institutional Review Board (Wisdo.001.1/26/2023). Since all data were routinely collected during the intervention, this protocol was considered exempt from additional consent. All data were deidentified. Participants received 1 year of free access to the platform but no other compensation.

Variation in Trust in Cancer Information Sources by Perceptions of Social Media Health Mis- and Disinformation and by Race and Ethnicity Among Adults in the United States: Cross-Sectional Study

Variation in Trust in Cancer Information Sources by Perceptions of Social Media Health Mis- and Disinformation and by Race and Ethnicity Among Adults in the United States: Cross-Sectional Study

By extension, this study evaluated the interaction effect between race and ethnicity of the participants, perceptions of social media health mis- and disinformation, and trust in cancer information. We hypothesized that the association between perceptions of a lot of mis- and disinformation on social media and trust in cancer information sources would vary by race and ethnicity.

Race and Socioeconomic Status as Predictors of Willingness to Use Digital Mental Health Interventions or One-On-One Psychotherapy: National Survey Study

Race and Socioeconomic Status as Predictors of Willingness to Use Digital Mental Health Interventions or One-On-One Psychotherapy: National Survey Study

We obtained a sample of adults meant to be representative of the intersection of age, race and ethnicity, and sex-assigned at birth using US census data. We collected information on age (in years), gender identity (male, female, and nonbinary), yearly income (in US dollars), highest educational attainment, race, and ethnicity. Race and ethnicity were combined and defined as Asian, Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, or other (eg, multiracial or Middle Eastern).

The Political Economy of Digital Health Equity: Structural Analysis

The Political Economy of Digital Health Equity: Structural Analysis

However, a growing body of research suggests that digital health can also exacerbate health inequities for those excluded from its benefits for reasons of cost, digital literacy, and structural discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status [7,8]. Often referred to as the “health-related digital divide,” the exacerbation of health inequities by digital health technologies has been widely discussed in health informatics and digital health literature [7,9,10].

Ethnic Disparities in COVID-19 Vaccine Mistrust and Receipt in British Columbia, Canada: Population Survey

Ethnic Disparities in COVID-19 Vaccine Mistrust and Receipt in British Columbia, Canada: Population Survey

Employing Bethlehem’s weighting adjustment technique [27], age, sex, geography (Health Authority region), and ethnicity were used as auxiliary variables for weighting. Participant characteristics were summarized using weighted frequencies and percentages, stratified by ethnicity. The distribution of mistrust in COVID-19 vaccines was examined for each ethnicity. We examined the distribution of vaccine receipt by mistrust status for each ethnicity.

Race, Ethnicity, and Other Cultural Background Factors in Trials of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: Systematic Review

Race, Ethnicity, and Other Cultural Background Factors in Trials of Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: Systematic Review

For example, in a study by Mak and colleagues [10], they reviewed 379 National Institute of Mental Health–funded clinical trials for various mental health disorders published between 1995 and 2004 to investigate how many trials reported sex, race, and ethnicity. They found that 91.6% of the National Institute of Mental Health–funded published trials reported sex. However, only 47.8% included race or ethnicity in their demographics, and 25.6% had incomplete race or ethnicity information.

Patient Portal Use Among Family Caregivers of Individuals With Dementia and Cancer: Regression Analysis From the National Study of Caregiving

Patient Portal Use Among Family Caregivers of Individuals With Dementia and Cancer: Regression Analysis From the National Study of Caregiving

Covariates were selected a priori by the study team based on their clinical expertise and knowledge, including race or ethnicity, age, employment status, education, caregiver health, and religiosity. We used precoded NSOC demographic variables for race, ethnicity, and age. For employment status, we considered a caregiver employed if they currently worked for payment. We categorized the level of education based on whether a caregiver had completed college or whether they had a college degree or higher.
