According to Which Criteria Should the Undiagnosed Diseases Network’s Value Be Assessed
The Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) exists at an intersection of diagnostic research and clinical care and has 2 main goals: to advance diagnostic science and to facilitate accurate diagnoses in individual patient-participants with rare conditions or so-called "medical mysteries." The value of the UDN's translational research and clinical application model and of the results it produces derive from whether and to what extent the UDN achieves i…
A Just Genomics Needs an Elsi of Translation
The rapid advances in genomics over the last decade have come to fruition amid intense public discussions of justice in medicine and health care. While much emphasis has been placed on increasing diversity in genomics research participation, an overly narrow focus on recruitment eschews recognition of the disparities in health care that will ultimately shape access to the benefits of genomic medicine. In this essay, we suggest that achieving a ju…
Formally comparing topic models and human-generated qualitative coding of physician mothers' experiences of workplace discrimination
Differences between computationally generated and human-generated themes in unstructured text are important to understand yet difficult to assess formally. In this study, we bridge these approaches through two contributions. First, we formally compare a primarily computational approach, topic modeling, to a primarily human-driven approach, qualitative thematic coding, in an impactful context: physician mothers' experience of workplace discriminat…
Barriers and facilitators to mobile health and active surveillance use among older adults with skin disease
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine, including teledermatology. Monitoring skin lesions using teledermatology may become increasingly important for several skin diseases, including low-risk skin cancers. The purpose of this study was to describe the key factors that could serve as barriers or facilitators to skin disease monitoring using mobile health technology (mHealth) in older adults. METHODS: Older …
An exploratory mixed‐methods crossover study comparing DVD ‐ vs. Web‐based patient decision support in three conditions: The importance of patient perspectives
BACKGROUND: The last 15 years have witnessed considerable progress in the development of decision support interventions (DESIs). However, fundamental questions about design and format of delivery remain. METHODS: An exploratory, randomized mixed-method crossover study was conducted to compare a DVD- and Web-based DESI. Randomized participants used either the Web or the DVD first, followed by the alternative format. Participants completed a questi…
Redefining Risk and Benefit: Understanding the Decision to Undergo Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy
Rates of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) among unilateral breast cancer patients are rapidly increasing; however, there are little data documenting the decision-making process of patients with no known BRCA mutations, who elect this more aggressive treatment. We conducted semistructured interviews with nine newly diagnosed patients who elected CPM over other surgical options. Using grounded theory, we analyzed interview data to identi…
Beyond barriers: Fundamental ‘disconnects’ underlying the treatment of breast cancer patients' sexual health
Sexual health concerns represent one of the most frequently experienced and longest-lasting effects of breast cancer treatment, but research suggests that service providers rarely discuss sexual health with their patients. Existing research examining barriers to addressing patients' sexual health concerns has focused on discrete characteristics of the provider-patient interaction without considering the broader context in which these interactions…
