Objectives To describe the demographic and social identities of participants in contemporary Canadian randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Study Design and Setting A meta-epidemiologic study included published reports of phase 2 and 3 RCTs that exclusively recruited adults living in Canada and were registered on ClinicalTrials.gov between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2019. Study design and participant demographics were abstracted from eligible articles in duplicate using frameworks for understanding participant diversity such as PROGRESS-PLUS.

This study explores racial inequities in postpartum insurance coverage during the COVID-19 continuous Medicaid coverage period, comparing ACA expansion versus non-expansion states. It concludes that postpartum Medicaid extension improved access but was insufficient to eliminate racial inequities in maternal health coverage.

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are a major public health problem in the U.S., particularly given higher rates among disadvantaged communities. This study examined the impact of minimum wage policies on hypertensive and other obstetric disorders in a population-based setting. Methods: This analysis used U.S. national, state-level data from the 1992–2019 Global Burden of Disease study to estimate the associations between changes in state-level minimum wages and the incidence of maternal hypertensive and other obstetric disorders.

This study found that coaches need to demonstrate high-level skills to effectively support children with diverse abilities. These skills include: the ability to be creative and strategic with skill differentiation, adapting to the immediate needs of each child, supporting children’s autonomy, and providing progressive feedback that balances positive reinforcement with challenges. This is an important first step towards ensuring quality participation of children with disabilities in sport.

The TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 6 study found that a modified donanemab titration regimen significantly reduced ARIA-E frequency and severity compared to standard dosing, while maintaining similar amyloid reduction. Safety profiles were comparable between the two arms. The modified titration approach may help mitigate risks associated with amyloid-targeting therapies in early Alzheimer's disease.
