RESUMO

PURPOSE: Journals have begun to expand the racial diversity of editors as a first step to countering institutional racism. Given the power editors hold as gatekeepers, a diverse team helps ensure that minoritized scholars have equal opportunity to contribute. In 2021, Teaching and Learning in Medicine ( TLM ) created an editorial internship for racially minoritized individuals. This study examines the first 6 months of this program to better understand its creation and initial successes. METHOD: The authors employed critical collaborative autoethnography, a qualitative methodology, focusing on the underlying assumptions around power and hierarchy that are implicit in the design and implementation of the TLM internship. Participants included 13 TLM editorial board members (10 internship selection committee members, 3 mentors, 2 independent researchers), 3 external selection committee members, and 3 interns, with some holding multiple roles. Ten participants served as authors of this report. Data included archival emails, planning documents, and focus groups. The initial analysis explored what happened and how and was followed by a thematic analysis in which participants reflected on their responsibility for implementing an antiracist program. RESULTS: While the program developed interns' editorial skills, which they greatly valued, and diversified the TLM editorial board, it did not achieve the goal of fostering antiracism. Mentors focused on conducting joint peer reviews with interns, assuming that racial experiences can and should be separate from the editorial process, thus working within, rather than trying to change, the existing racist system. CONCLUSIONS: Given these findings, greater structural change is needed to disrupt the existing racist system. These experiences underscore the importance of recognizing the harmful impact a race-neutral lens can have on antiracist efforts. Moving forward, TLM will implement lessons learned ahead of offering the internship again with the goal of creating the transformative change intended with the creation of the program.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mobile health apps stand as one possible means of improving evidence-based mental health interventions for youth. However, a better understanding of youth and provider perspectives is necessary to support widespread implementation. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to explore both youth and provider perspectives on using mobile apps to enhance evidence-based clinical care, with an emphasis on gathering perspectives on behavior-tracking apps. METHODS: Inductive qualitative analysis was conducted on data obtained from semistructured interviews held with 10 youths who received psychotherapy and 12 mental health care providers who conducted therapy with youths aged 13-26 years. Interviews were independently coded by multiple coders and consensus meetings were held to establish reliability. RESULTS: During the interviews, the youths and providers broadly agreed on the benefits of behavior tracking and believed that tracking via app could be more enjoyable and accessible. Providers and youths also shared similar concerns that negative emotions and user burden could limit app usage. Participants also suggested potential app features that, if implemented, would help meet the clinical needs of providers and support long-term use among youth. Such features included having a pleasant user interface, reminders for clients, and graphical output of data to clients and providers. CONCLUSIONS: Youths and providers explained that the integration of mobile health into psychotherapy has the potential to make treatment, particularly behavior tracking, easy and more accessible. However, both groups had concerns about the increased burden that could be placed on the clients and providers.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the treatment patterns and efficacy of hormonal (HM) and non-HM (NHM) management of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in young women with inherited platelet function disorders (IPFDs). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A retrospective chart review was performed of outpatient treatment of HMB in female patients age 9-25 years who were diagnosed with IPFDs and referred to gynecology and/or hematology at a tertiary care hospital between 2006 and 2018. INTERVENTIONS: The study sample was identified using billing codes for IPFDs. Data on HM and NHM treatments and outcomes over a one- to two-year period were collected. Initial treatment was defined as the first treatment prescribed after referral. Descriptive statistics, Pearson χ2, and t tests were used for analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Treatment failure was defined as a change in treatment method because of continued bleeding. RESULTS: Thirty-four girls met inclusion criteria. After their initial visit, 19/34 (56%) were treated with HM, 12/34 (35%) with NHM, 2/34 (6%) with a combination of methods, and 1/34 (3%) were untreated. Initial treatment failed in 19/34 (56%) and those patients subsequently required a mean of 2 additional treatments during follow-up. Of the 34 included, 6/34 (18%) remained uncontrolled despite numerous treatment changes and 2/34 (6%) because of noncompliance. When control was achieved, 7/26 (27%) of patients were receiving combined oral contraceptives and 6/26 (23%) desmopressin acetate. CONCLUSION: HMB in girls with IPFDs can be difficult to control despite ongoing follow-up and treatment changes. Although the most effective treatment for HMB in young women with IPFDs was not identified, these findings will help providers and patients with setting expectations. Prospective studies are needed to develop recommendations on best practices.
