Non-inclusive language in human subjects questionnaires
Adverse health outcomes disproportionately affect marginalized populations. Utilizing culturally and socially conscious research materials that are inclusive of various identities and experiences is necessary to help remediate these disparities. Our review finds compelling evidence of bias in many widely used data collection instruments. Recommendations for conducting more inclusive science are discussed
Anthropology and Implementation Science
Basic science and health services research has produced a substantial body of knowledge that has the significant possibility of improving human health and well-being. Much of that knowledge is published, yet read only by other researchers. Alternatively, this research becomes “evidence-based practice” (EBP), that is, knowledge obtained under specific controlled conditions. The world where humans live their everyday lives tends to be complex and “…
Integrating childhood TB
The World Health Organization has prioritized integrating tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) services. Diagnosis of HIV/TB coinfection in children remains a challenge worldwide for numerous reasons. The care delivery value chain (CDVC) is an effective tool that can be applied as a systemic framework for assessing health care delivery. Our objective was to apply the CDVC framework to improve pediatric HIV/TB care at an HIV ce…
Tribalism in a Pediatric Emergency Department
This ethnography explored the organizational culture of a busy urban pediatric emergency department (ED) in the United States. EDs uniquely combine extreme patient acuity, high census, a high-stress unpredictable environment, and fast-paced complex communication. We found that tribalism characterized the organizational culture and was exacerbated by resource scarcity, changing leadership, and high patient volume. Tribalism affected work climate a…
Field Survey and Geochemical Characterization of the Southern Armenian Obsidian Sources
In comparison with those of the west Mediterranean, the Aegean, and Anatolia, the numerous obsidian sources in the southern Caucasus have begun to receive archaeological attention only recently. The least research has been directed to the southernmost of these sources, in the province of Syunik in southern Armenia. These sources lie close to the border with Azerbaijan, in remote mountainous uplands reaching elevations above 3200 m and under snow …
