Background The prevalence of hypertension (HTN) is high in Brazil, and control rates are low. Little known about the factors that contribute to HTN from a family-based perspective. Objectives Guided by Family Management Style Framework, specific aims were (1) describe adequate blood pressure (BP) individuals cared for Health Strategy, (2) identify facilitators barriers management, (3) individual contextual sociocultural influences (sociocultural context social Strategy support), definition...
Germline testing laboratories have evolved over several decades. We describe laboratory business models and practices explore their implications on germline availability access.We conducted semistructured interviews with key informants using purposive sampling. interviewed 13 representing 14 laboratories. used triangulation iterative data analysis to identify topics concerning practices.We characterized as full-service (FSL), for-profit (PGL), not-for-profit (NGL). Relying existing payer...
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Oncology Program aims to improve cancer treatment by minimizing variations in care, reducing adverse outcomes, and ensuring the highest level safety quality. To achieve this goal, evidence-based Clinical Pathways (OCPs) have been created. VA prostate OCP launched on 5/3/2021 was first include germline testing. Prior (baseline), genetics providers ordered about 20 tests per month for patients with advanced ("standard-of-care model").
Most clinical geneticists work in academic medical centers concentrated metropolitan areas and their practices are at capacity with unacceptably long wait times for nonemergency patient visits. A solution most often cited is to increase the number of genetics professionals (clinical geneticists, genetic counselors, nurses). Another complementary improve efficiency productivity existing workforce.
In Brazil, research indicates that primary family members are the main source of support for individuals with chronic conditions such as hypertension (HTN). The burden caregiving not only hinders effective HTN management but can also cause stress and anxiety, potentially leading to in caregivers. Despite this, few studies have explored impact on these members. Aims study were to: (1) Describe prevalence blood pressure (BP) control HTN; (2) identify member perspectives facilitators barriers...

Abstract Background Access to clinical trials and other research opportunities is important discovering new disease treatments better ways detect, diagnose, reduce risk. The WISDOM (Women Informed Screen Depending on Measures of risk) Study a multi-site, pragmatic trial with web-based participation based at the University California San Francisco (UCSF) that aims move breast cancer screening away from its current one-size-fits-all approach one personalized each woman’s individual We sought...
11029 Background: Genetic testing has become essential to delivery of cancer treatment, risk assessment, surveillance, and prevention. We sought understand the use genetic tests by clinicians in Department Veterans Affairs (VA). Methods: administered a web-based survey at 20 VA facilities with precision oncology programs. excluded respondents if they were: not one facilities; seeing patients VA; physician, nurse practitioner (NP), physician assistant (PA), or pharmacist; medical geneticist...
