Social determinants of health (SDoH) are associated with stark disparities in cancer outcomes, but systematic SDoH data collection is virtually absent from oncology clinical trials. Trial‐based SDoH data are essential to ensure representation of marginalized populations, contextualize outcome disparities, and identify health‐equity intervention opportunities. We report the feasibility of a pediatric oncology multicenter therapeutic trial‐embedded SDoH investigation. Among 448 trial participants, 392 (87.5%) opted‐in to the embedded SDoH study; 375 (95.7%) completed baseline surveys, with high longitudinal response rates (88.9–93.1%) over 24 months. Trial‐embedded SDoH data collection is feasible and acceptable and must be consistently included within future oncology trials.
This 2012 Academic Emergency Medicine consensus conference breakout session was devoted to the task of identifying the history and current state of faculty development in education research in emergency medicine (EM). The participants set a future agenda for successful faculty development in education research. A number of education research and content experts collaborated during the session. This article summarizes existing academic and medical literature, expert opinions, and audience consensus to report our agreement and findings related to the promotion of faculty development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
