Abstract:
Problem: There are scarce literature about the health conditions of Brazilian population which focus on race/colour or ethnicity. Objective: to identify nursing research literature related to race/colour/ethnicithy. Methodology: exploratory research at the Brazilian computarized nursing data base. Results: the references founded were colour (15), race (03), racism (17), and so fourth. Conclusion: The ethics directions of the National Council of Health, published in 1996, contribute to the inclusion of race/colour/ethnicity in the nursing research papers, but it still not a main category of analysis.

Abstract:
This Research Commentary builds on a 2-stage literature review to argue that there are 4 obstacles to making a sociopolitical turn in mathematics education that would allow researchers to talk about race and ethnicity in ways that take both identity and power seriously: (a) the marginalization of discussions of race and ethnicity; (b) the reiteration of race and ethnicity as independent variables; (c) absence of race and ethnicity from mathematics education research; and (d) the minimizing of discussions of race and ethnicity, even within equity-oriented work.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between ethnicity and television viewing in France by means of a case study focusing on the situation comedy Fruits et Legumes. The programme, which was partly financed by the French government via the Fonds d'Action Sociale (FAS), portrays the everyday life of an Algerian family living in France, and was intended to be a French version of The Cosby Show. The FAS was aiming to produce a television series that would not only reassure the French public about the "innocuous" nature of the Maghrebi population in France but would also encourage it to identify with an immigrant family. The present study set out to investigate the role of ethnicity in shaping viewers' perceptions of the programme and the extent to which Fruits et Legumes may have encouraged greater understanding among viewers of different ethnic origins. A sample of 49 viewers was constructed so as to encompass three ethnic groups ("native" French people, those of Maghrebi origin and people originating from sub-Saharan/Central Africa), gender differences, two age groups (18 to 30 year olds and those over the age of 40), and two levels of education (those with less than a baccalaureat and those with university education). These respondents viewed a sample episode individually and then took part in one-to-one, in-depth interviews. Using Hall's three proposed reading positions - dominant, negotiated and oppositional in relation to the preferred meaning within the text - as a basic structure within which to analyse decodings of the episode, a further set of interpretive categories was evolved for the purposes of this study. Having classified viewer decodings of the programme, patterns in these readings were analysed, so as to ascertain whether there was a correlation between these distributions of decodings and respondents' ethnicity, gender, age or educational level. It was found that nearly a third of all decodings diverged significantly from the preferred meaning. Numerous patterns amongst viewer responses were identified, and ethnicity was found to be the main variable shaping these interpretive communities, although in certain instances gender, generation and educational level were the defining factors. These results do not imply, however, that ethnicity will invariably have the greatest influence on the decoding process, as it would seem probable that if the programme had been "non-ethnically marked", ethnicity would have shaped decodings to a lesser extent.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation is centered around two related questions: How does literature contribute to the creation of identity? How does narrative locate individuals in the world? It studies how both individual and ethnic identity is shaped by the imagined landscapes encountered by the protagonists of the Greek novel over the course of their journeys. In this dissertation, I develop a model for reading the protagonists' travels across the Mediterranean as an integral part of the genre's narrative strategy. I begin by tracing the novels’ conceptual geographies of the Mediterranean world and the relationship between geographical movement and narrative. The core of my project examines three aspects of the imaginary worlds encountered by the novels’ protagonists: exotic animals, the relationship between humans and their natural landscapes, and exotic societies, customs, and religions. My study ends in Meroë, in the tenth and final book of Heliodoros’ Aithiopika. Meroë is a terminus in two senses: located on the edge of the known world, it is the most exotic of any place visited in the extant novels; it also represents the undoing of exoticism. Heliodoros’ novel describes a gradual process in the course of which Meroë becomes a Greek cultural enclave in an alien land, one that is parallel to, and associated with, Delphi, the religious center of the Hellenic world. Using literary and epigraphic sources alongside ancient visual media and archaeological evidence from Greco-Roman and Egyptian contexts throughout this study, I rethink the relationship between identity, narrative, and the exoticism in the novels. I argue that through their descriptions of wide-ranging travel and exotic locales, the novels reflect a multiplicity of individual ways to be Greek and the many models against which an individual’s Hellenic identity can define itself. The ancient novel is therefore an important expression of Greek identity in the Roman Imperial period.<br>The Classics

Full text
Abstract:
Issues of ethnicity and gender, neglected in the discourse of South Africa's national liberation struggle, manifest themselves as problems in a variety of cultural expressions. These I examine in David's Story, a fictional representation of the period of transition from apartheid to democracy, as well as in two critical essays which I published some years before. In 'Identity and Shame: the case of the coloured in South Africa', the textual construction, ethnographic self-fashioning and political behaviour of Cape coloureds are discussed through the modalities of space and the body. Using examples from a number of literary texts as well as the case of Saartjie Baartman, the Hottentot Venus, I show how shame is imbricated in coloured ethnic identity, and how it constitutes a problem of representation. The failure, in coloured terms, of the grand narrative of liberation demands an interrogation of orthodox postcolonial theories of hybridity and the politics of location. The enquiry into identity necessarily intersects with gender. In 'To hear the variety of discourses', I question the notion of 'womanism' that is posited against the perceived inappropriateness of western feminist theories in the South African context. Textual analysis of Black women's writing shows how women have developed strategies for dealing covertly with gender issues that the dominant liberation discourse has disparaged in the interests of racial liberation. Whilst fiction is not simply a vehicle for expounding cultural theories, issues like gender struggles, the silencing of women, nationalism, and questions of shame and ethnicity are addressed in my novel, whether thematically or in terms of its structure and narrative strategies. The novel demonstrates how narrative as a generative system lends itself to fictionalisation, thus serving as an analogy for the narrative of nation-building and ethnicity. The postcolonial problem of representation expounded in the essays is a central concern.

Atewologun, Adedoyin. "Intersecting Gender and Ethnicity in the Workplace: A Systematic Review of the Literature." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2008. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/4672.

Full text
Abstract:
Gender and ethnicity represent key bases upon which we differentiate ourselves from others and are also key fracture lines along which inequalities in the workplace manifest. The continued growth in the management literature on organisational gendered processes remains slightly ahead of the management literature investigating race/ethnic differences in organisational outcomes. However, both streams of literature have historically tread separate, parallel paths, resulting in limited understanding of the organisational experiences of people who fall through the ‘fault lines’ of gender and ethnic management research – ethnic minority women. This paper posits that much can be gleaned from adopting an ‘intersectional’ lens for investigating the workplace experiences of employees. It acknowledges that the experiences of ethnic minority women in the workplace, at the intersections of gender and ethnicity, qualitatively differ from those of groups under which they are typically subsumed. The aim of this review was to investigate the extent to which intersectionality has been used to examine organisational experience and to shed light on the ways in which employees’ ‘gender-ethnicity’ is conceptualised at work. A systematic review of the literature was conducted, entailing searching, selecting and evaluating literature on intersecting gender and ethnicity in the workplace. A detailed methodology is presented, with descriptive and thematic findings discussed. Overall, the findings reveal that studies on gender and ethnic intersectionality at work typically examine women’s stories about how race and gender influence their work experiences, often against the backdrop of a particular profession. These studies are likely to be fairly recent (within the last 10 years) and are likely to be conducted within and beyond the typical North American hub of demographic diversity literature. Studies adopt one of three approaches to investigating intersectionality (as a demographic unit, individual perspective or a framework for engaging with the research process) and the role of theory and researcher are important considerations. Additionally, intersectionality is conceptualised in three key ways: as a source of tension, as a way to provide voice, and as contingent on cultural, national and professional context. Implications for further research are considered and limitations of the systematic review discussed.

Abstract:
In light of rising interest in research on influencer marketing, this paper aims to analyse the impact of influencer characteristics on consumer behaviour. The study was based on a systematic analysis of 127 peer-reviewed articles published or accepted from 2000 to 2021. The paper included 52 influencer characteristics classified into four categories: psychological, social, behavioural and demographic characteristics. The findings show that influencers’ psychological characteristics, such as trustworthiness, expertise, and attractiveness, have been over-studied. However, research gaps exist in the area of influencers’ social characteristics, such as envy and betrayal, as well as behavioural characteristics, such as facial expression, body language, speaking speed and sharing secrets. In addition, there is also a lack of research on the importance of demographic characteristics such as gender, age and ethnicity.

Abstract:
Economic and social rights have been affirmed since 1976 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but the globalization, huge economic differences, and financial and health crises that hap- pened during the last decade have brought them into focus. Economic and social rights include the rights to adequate housing, education, health, work and food. These rights belong to every human being, regardless of age, sex, nationality, ethnicity, religion, race, wealth or any other status. Recognition and respect of these rights is today a challenge for all defenders of human rights, such as institutions, NGOs and academics. A human rights economy places people and the planet at the heart of the economic policies, investment decisions, consumer choices and business models and this will help in completing the ambition of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (Türk,2023). Ten years ago, the World Bank in collaboration with the Human Rights Measurement Initiative developed the economic and social rights performance score, in order measure how effectively countries use their economic resources to ensure the fulfilment of economic and social rights. But which is the status of Albania regarding the economic and social rights? If we refer to data provided by People’s Advocate, the Albanian NHRI, in 2021 there were 32 complaints about non-adequate housing, 101 complaints for education, 97 complaints for healthcare, 51 complaints regarding the right to work and 72 complaints for non-adequate food. Comparing these figures with the total number of 1,630 complaints about human rights violations is clear that they are very low due to the fact that individuals are not aware of having these rights and don’t fight to be part of the policymaking.

Abstract:
Objective: The immunohistochemical profile of breast cancer is based on the evaluation of estrogen and progesterone receptors, HER2 expression, and cell proliferation index. An investigation of the association of immunophenotyping of invasive breast cancer with sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle becomes important in view of the scarcity of research in mixed populations such as the Brazilian. Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the association of immunophenotyping of invasive breast cancer with sociodemographic characteristics and lifestyle in 583 patients seen in a cancer center in southeastern Brazil. The Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results: There was a higher frequency of women with the luminal B HER2-negative subtype (33.9%). The analysis of immunophenotyping with sociodemographic characteristics found a higher frequency of women aged 50 years or older in luminal A, 65.5% (p≤0.040) and medical suspicion of breast cancer at a clinical examination in HER2-positive subtype, 89.7% (p=0.015). In this research, we found no association of immunophenotyping with marital cohabitation (p=0.856), education (p=0.723), ethnicity (p=0.129), access to hospital (p=0.686), tobacco (p=0.099) and alcohol consumption (p=0.270), body mass index (p=0.584), performance of the first mammogram (p=0.477), family cancer history (p=0.254), and parity (p=0.676). Conclusion: Younger women had tumors with a worse prognosis when compared to those aged 50 years or older. Ethnicity showed no association, contrary to the wide discussion in the literature about the high frequency of the triple-negative subtype. There was no association with alcohol consumption, a factor recognized in the literature as a risk factor for the development of breast cancer.

Abstract:
University makerspaces are growing increasingly in vogue, especially in Colleges of Engineering, but there is little empirical evidence in the literature that these spaces impact the students. Speculations have been made about these spaces creating a community of practice, improving retention, improving design skills and self-efficacy, teaching manufacturing skills, improving creativity, and providing many other benefits, but this has not been empirically documented. This paper compares student engineering design self-efficacy (i.e., confidence, motivation, expectation of success, and anxiety toward conducting engineering design) to reported usage rates from a makerspace at a large Hispanic-serving university in the Southwestern United States. Not all users of these spaces were engineering students, and as such, responses were examined through the context of student major as well as differences in gender, race/ethnicity, or first-generation college student status. Design self-efficacy is critical because when individuals have high self-efficacy for particular skills they tend to seek more opportunities to apply those skills, and show more perseverance in the face of set-backs. Thus, self-efficacy is often a good predictor of achievement. The results from one year of data at the Hispanic-serving university indicate that female and first-generation college students have significantly lower engineering design self-efficacy scores. The data also shows that being a user of the makerspace correlates to a higher confidence, motivation, and expectation of success toward engineering design. Initial data from two additional schools are also consistent with these same results. These results indicate that, for all students, regardless of race/ethnicity and/or first generation status, being a frequent user of a university-serving makerspace likely positively impacts confidence, motivation, and expectation of success toward engineering design.

Abstract:
Myocardial revascularization is a procedure indicated in situations in which there are significant obstructions in the coronary arteries. Therefore, given the heterogeneity of the Brazilian population, the objective was to analyze the epidemiological profile of patients undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in Maranhão. This is an analytical, longitudinal, descriptive and retrospective cohort study, carried out in the Cardiovascular Surgery Service of a reference hospital in São Luís - Maranhão. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee under consolidated opinion no. 6,678,093. With a sample consisting of 104 patients who underwent surgery between January 2022 and July 2023. The exclusion criteria were patients in whom cardiopulmonary bypass was not used and who underwent associated cardiac surgery, such as valve replacement and congenital corrections. During the period analyzed, 102 individuals aged between 41 and 88 years were evaluated, with an average of 63.9 years. The cardiovascular risk factors found were: systemic arterial hypertension (81.40%), diabetes mellitus (52.90%), dyslipidemia (25.50%), smoking (40.20%) and alcohol consumption (33.30%) . A history of acute myocardial infarction was identified in 36.30% of cases. Predominance of male patients (65.69%) and mixed race. The observed mortality was 12.70%. The data analyzed are consistent with the literature. However, some articles state that the ethnicity is predominantly white, which goes against the present study, with a predominance of brown ethnicity. The possible hypothesis to justify this finding is the fact that hypertension, a comorbidity with the highest incidence, is predominant in black or brown ethnicities. Therefore, this discovery highlights the importance of continuous investigations into epidemiological characteristics and social aspects that are determinant for this variation, in order to accurately identify these changes and improve the clinical outcomes of future diagnoses in Maranhão.

Abstract:
The relationship between workforce diversity and innovation has recently come to the attention of researchers, numerous studies focusing on the causal relationship between the two terms, but none of them having investigated the specialized literature pertaining to this relationship from a bibliometric perspective. The aim of this paper is to use a bibliometric analysis in order to highlight the way the link between these two concepts evolves within the scientific field. In this sense, 366 Web of Science indexed publications on this topic were selected and analyzed with the help of two popular software - Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The results highlighted the evolution of academic production on the link between workforce diversity and innovation, their territorial dissemination based on the most productive countries, the collaboration among three of the most influential channels (affiliations, authors, and sources), and the conceptual structure of the scientific production based on keyword co-occurrence analysis, as well as a longitudinal thematic analysis. This study can contribute to the literature through a map of the relationship between workforce diversity and innovation. Its conclusions have led to the idea that employee diversity (in terms of education, ethnicity, race, gender, equity, age) can create all the necessary premises (human capital, knowledge, productivity, cultural diversity, motivation, leadership) for an organization to be innovative and to achieve performance, thus leading to a competitive advantage.

Abstract:
The urban population represents the smallest share of the people in Slovenia, as most of them live in rural areas. Despite the migration of people from rural to urban areas, which increased in the period after the Second World War, Slovenia did not develop large urban centres as Western countries. Slovenia followed the idea of polycentric development with moderate urban population growth in smaller urban centres. The primary purpose of this text is to present the essential characteristics of rural, urban and suburban communities in Slovenia and understanding of solidarity and communal life of diverse social groups? The author uses a literature review and a secondary analysis of already collected data in two surveys (Safety in Local Communities, 2017; Slovenian Public Opinion 2016/1) to present the characteristics. With the help of these research data, the author explains the structure of the population in urban, suburban and rural areas (education, employment, religion, ethnicity), and further analyses interpersonal relationships, connections, mutual assistance, acceptance of diversity and perceptions of security/threat.

Abstract:
A Synthetic Population is first part of creating travel demand model by using activity-based approach. Population synthesis is application of algorithms that expanded representative samples of people or household with characterises (such as gender, car ownership, age or ethnicity etc.) to entire area of researching. Because of complexity of people decisions before or during travel, one attribute is not enough to fully describe what factors have impact on them. Population synthesis iterate a set of attributes for each person in the sample and after expansion and assigning weights create simulated people or household with their characteristic. Basic components are marginal distribution targets of household and person attributes, household and person samples and algorithm for selecting the sample records into a synthetic population such that the attributes of that population match the marginal targets. Goal of this paper is to present population synthesis and her importance for activity-based approach in travel demand modelling. The paper will consist of introduction, literature overview, presenting benefits and complexity of population synthesis, discussion and conclusion.

Abstract:
Male breast cancer (MMC) corresponds to 0.5% of cases of malignant neoplasms in men. Among the associated risk factors are black ethnicity, age over 60 years, family history, BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, Klinefelter syndrome, the use of exogenous estrogen, gynecomastia, obesity, and a history of chest radiation. Regarding diagnosis and treatment, the standard trend for female breast cancer is still followed, with few studies in men. We report the case of an 81-yearold black patient with few risk factors exposed in the literature. On physical examination at entry, he presented an exophytic lesion in the right breast and palpable and hardened lymph nodes in the right axillary region. With an established diagnosis of nonspecial type invasive carcinoma and invasive ductal carcinoma without other specifications by previous biopsy, a modified right radical mastectomy was performed with right axillary dissection and according to the pathological examination with pT4b pN1 pMx staging. Thus, as a result of the good evolution of the condition, the patient was discharged 2 days after the surgery to the oncology clinic, in order to monitor the condition.

Abstract:
Unequal income distribution in Latin America and the Caribbean is linked to unequal distributions of (human and physical) assets and differential access to markets and services. These circumstances, and the accompanying social tensions, need to be understood in terms of traditional fragmenting forces; the sectors of the population who experience unfavorable outcomes are also recognized by characteristics such as ethnicity, race, gender and physical disability. In addition to reviewing the general literature on social exclusion, this paper surveys several more specific topics: i) relative deprivation (in land and housing, physical infrastructure, health and income); ii) labor market issues, including access to labor markets in general, as well as informality, segregation and discrimination; iii) the transaction points of political representation, social protection and violence; and iv) areas where analysis remains weak and avenues for further research in the region.

Full text
Abstract:
The instability and upheaval of violent conflict can break down patriarchal structures, challenge traditional gender norms and open up new roles and spaces for collective agency of women, sexual and gender minorities (SGM), and other marginalised groups (Yadav, 2021; Myrittinen &amp; Daigle, 2017). A recent study on the gendered implications of civil war finds that countries recovering from ‘major civil war’ experience substantial improvements in women’s civil liberties and political participation—complementary aspects of political empowerment (Bakken &amp; Bahaug, 2020). This rapid literature review explores the openings that conflict and post-conflict settings can create for the development of political empowerment of women and LGBTQ+ communities—as well as challenges. Drawing primarily on a range of academic, non-governmental organisation (NGO), and practitioner literature, it explores conflict-affected settings from around the world. There was limited literature available on experience from Ukraine (which was of interest for this report); and on specific opportunities at the level of local administrations. In addition, the available literature on empowerment of LGBTQ+ communities was much less than that available for women’s empowerment. The literature also focused on women, with an absence of information on girls. It is important to note that while much of the literature speaks to women in society as a whole, there are various intersectionalities (e.g. class, race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, rural/urban etc.) that can produce varying treatment and degrees of empowerment of women. Several examples are noted within the report.

Iffat, Idris. Approaches to Youth Violence in Jordan. Institute of Development Studies, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.121.

Full text
Abstract:
Youth violence, particularly targeting the state as well as engagement in violent extremism, has been a persistent feature in Jordan over the past decade. There are numerous factors driving this: economic, political and social marginalization of young people; a search for purpose (in the case of religious extremism); and ineffective youth policies on the part of the government. Other key forms of marginalization in Jordan are ethnicity, gender and disability. With regard to community security mechanisms, Jordan has made efforts to introduce community policing. These link in with traditional tribal dispute resolution mechanisms, but the impact on youth is unclear. Psychosocial support for youth is important. Interventions will vary depending on needs and context, but sport and education (learning spaces) are especially effective avenues to reach young people. This review drew on a mixture of academic and grey literature. While it found significant literature about youth protests in Jordan (in particular in the early 2010s) and on drivers of youth violence, as well as other forms of marginalization in the country, there was very little on community security mechanisms – whether formal or informal. The review identified several sources of recommendations for psychosocial support programming (for youth), but few evaluations of such interventions specifically targeting youth in other countries. Overall, there are gaps in the evidence base, highlighting the need for further research.

The Effects of Social Assistance Interventions on Gender, Familial and Household Relations Among Refugees and Displaced Populations: A Review of the Literature on Interventions in Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/basic.2022.011.

Full text
Abstract:
This literature review aims to explore the evidence on the effects of social assistance on gender, familial, and household relations and power dynamics among refugees and (internally) displaced populations in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon. It examines the findings from an intersectional gender perspective allowing the authors to build on the knowledge of ‘what works’ in interventions in general and hopefully improve gender equality and social inclusion. Out of 1,564 papers initially identified and screened, 22 were included in the final stage. A question that emerged as the papers were analysed was whether the arduous work of targeting individuals was efficient or necessary, given that the available evidence suggests that beneficiaries generally tend to share their stipend with other family members for the collective good. Most studies tended to conflate gender with women and girls – making distinctions between widowed, married, unmarried and divorced women – but ignoring other dimensions such as class, health status, religion, ethnicity, education, prior work experience, political affiliation, and civil participation. Many programmes and research fail to disaggregate data. Social assistance programmes focus on individuals and households, with little attention to the wider context and overall conflict. Most studies paid negligible attention to familial infrastructures and strategies for sustainable interventions. Access to, and use of, cash transfers are part of broader familial strategies to mobilise or increase resources including, for example, (male) migration in pursuit of remittances, or (female) dependency on ‘community charity’. Short-term cash transfers can, in some circumstances, disrupt individuals’ and families’ access to more sustainable income or ‘charity’. Thus, important questions are raised about the purpose of social assistance: does it aim to preserve or transform families through targeting?

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives. To examine the evidence on whether and how healthcare algorithms (including algorithm-informed decision tools) exacerbate, perpetuate, or reduce racial and ethnic disparities in access to healthcare, quality of care, and health outcomes, and examine strategies that mitigate racial and ethnic bias in the development and use of algorithms. Data sources. We searched published and grey literature for relevant studies published between January 2011 and February 2023. Based on expert guidance, we determined that earlier articles are unlikely to reflect current algorithms. We also hand-searched reference lists of relevant studies and reviewed suggestions from experts and stakeholders. Review methods. Searches identified 11,500 unique records. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we screened and selected studies to assess one or both Key Questions (KQs): (1) the effect of algorithms on racial and ethnic disparities in health and healthcare outcomes and (2) the effect of strategies or approaches to mitigate racial and ethnic bias in the development, validation, dissemination, and implementation of algorithms. Outcomes of interest included access to healthcare, quality of care, and health outcomes. We assessed studies’ methodologic risk of bias (ROB) using the ROBINS-I tool and piloted an appraisal supplement to assess racial and ethnic equity-related ROB. We completed a narrative synthesis and cataloged study characteristics and outcome data. We also examined four Contextual Questions (CQs) designed to explore the context and capture insights on practical aspects of potential algorithmic bias. CQ 1 examines the problem’s scope within healthcare. CQ 2 describes recently emerging standards and guidance on how racial and ethnic bias can be prevented or mitigated during algorithm development and deployment. CQ 3 explores stakeholder awareness and perspectives about the interaction of algorithms and racial and ethnic disparities in health and healthcare. We addressed these CQs through supplemental literature reviews and conversations with experts and key stakeholders. For CQ 4, we conducted an in-depth analysis of a sample of six algorithms that have not been widely evaluated before in the published literature to better understand how their design and implementation might contribute to disparities. Results. Fifty-eight studies met inclusion criteria, of which three were included for both KQs. One study was a randomized controlled trial, and all others used cohort, pre-post, or modeling approaches. The studies included numerous types of clinical assessments: need for intensive care or high-risk care management; measurement of kidney or lung function; suitability for kidney or lung transplant; risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, lung cancer, prostate cancer, postpartum depression, or opioid misuse; and warfarin dosing. We found evidence suggesting that algorithms may: (a) reduce disparities (i.e., revised Kidney Allocation System, prostate cancer screening tools); (b) perpetuate or exacerbate disparities (e.g., estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] for kidney function measurement, cardiovascular disease risk assessments); and/or (c) have no effect on racial or ethnic disparities. Algorithms for which mitigation strategies were identified are included in KQ 2. We identified six types of strategies often used to mitigate the potential of algorithms to contribute to disparities: removing an input variable; replacing a variable; adding one or more variables; changing or diversifying the racial and ethnic composition of the patient population used to train or validate a model; creating separate algorithms or thresholds for different populations; and modifying the statistical or analytic techniques used by an algorithm. Most mitigation efforts improved proximal outcomes (e.g., algorithmic calibration) for targeted populations, but it is more challenging to infer or extrapolate effects on longer term outcomes, such as racial and ethnic disparities. The scope of racial and ethnic bias related to algorithms and their application is difficult to quantify, but it clearly extends across the spectrum of medicine. Regulatory, professional, and corporate stakeholders are undertaking numerous efforts to develop standards for algorithms, often emphasizing the need for transparency, accountability, and representativeness. Conclusions. Algorithms have been shown to potentially perpetuate, exacerbate, and sometimes reduce racial and ethnic disparities. Disparities were reduced when race and ethnicity were incorporated into an algorithm to intentionally tackle known racial and ethnic disparities in resource allocation (e.g., kidney transplant allocation) or disparities in care (e.g., prostate cancer screening that historically led to Black men receiving more low-yield biopsies). It is important to note that in such cases the rationale for using race and ethnicity was clearly delineated and did not conflate race and ethnicity with ancestry and/or genetic predisposition. However, when algorithms include race and ethnicity without clear rationale, they may perpetuate the incorrect notion that race is a biologic construct and contribute to disparities. Finally, some algorithms may reduce or perpetuate disparities without containing race and ethnicity as an input. Several modeling studies showed that applying algorithms out of context of original development (e.g., illness severity scores used for crisis standards of care) could perpetuate or exacerbate disparities. On the other hand, algorithms may also reduce disparities by standardizing care and reducing opportunities for implicit bias (e.g., Lung Allocation Score for lung transplantation). Several mitigation strategies have been shown to potentially reduce the contribution of algorithms to racial and ethnic disparities. Results of mitigation efforts are highly context specific, relating to unique combinations of algorithm, clinical condition, population, setting, and outcomes. Important future steps include increasing transparency in algorithm development and implementation, increasing diversity of research and leadership teams, engaging diverse patient and community groups in the development to implementation lifecycle, promoting stakeholder awareness (including patients) of potential algorithmic risk, and investing in further research to assess the real-world effect of algorithms on racial and ethnic disparities before widespread implementation.

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives. Survival rates for pediatric cancer have dramatically increased since the 1970s, and the population of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) exceeds 500,000 in the United States. Cancer during childhood and related treatments lead to long-term health problems, many of which are poorly understood. These problems can be amplified by suboptimal survivorship care. This report provides an overview of the existing evidence and forthcoming research relevant to disparities and barriers for pediatric cancer survivorship care, outlines pending questions, and offers guidance for future research. Data sources. This Technical Brief reviews published peer-reviewed literature, grey literature, and Key Informant interviews to answer five Guiding Questions regarding disparities in the care of pediatric survivors, barriers to cancer survivorship care, proposed strategies, evaluated interventions, and future directions. Review methods. We searched research databases, research registries, and published reviews for ongoing and published studies in CCS to October 2020. We used the authors’ definition of CCS; where not specified, CCS included those diagnosed with any cancer prior to age 21. The grey literature search included relevant professional and nonprofit organizational websites and guideline clearinghouses. Key Informants provided content expertise regarding published and ongoing research, and recommended approaches to fill identified gaps. Results. In total, 110 studies met inclusion criteria. We identified 26 studies that assessed disparities in survivorship care for CCS. Key Informants discussed subgroups of CCS by race or ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, and insurance coverage that may experience disparities in survivorship care, and these were supported in the published literature. Key Informants indicated that major barriers to care are providers (e.g., insufficient knowledge), the health system (e.g., availability of services), and payers (e.g., network adequacy); we identified 47 studies that assessed a large range of barriers to survivorship care. Sixteen organizations have outlined strategies to address pediatric survivorship care. Our searches identified only 27 published studies that evaluated interventions to alleviate disparities and reduce barriers to care. These predominantly assessed approaches that targeted patients. We found only eight ongoing studies that evaluated strategies to address disparities and barriers. Conclusions. While research has addressed disparities and barriers to survivorship care for childhood cancer survivors, evidence-based interventions to address these disparities and barriers to care are sparse. Additional research is also needed to examine less frequently studied disparities and barriers and to evaluate ameliorative strategies in order to improve the survivorship care for CCS.

Abstract:
This brief explains youth perceptions of COVID-19 vaccination and outlines key considerations for engaging with and building trust among young people living in Ealing, London. Within the category of ‘young people,’ there are differences in vaccination based on age and ethnicity. This brief is based on research, including a review of the literature and in-depth interviews and focus groups with 62 youth across Ealing to contextualise youth perspectives of COVID-19 vaccination and highlight themes of trust/distrust. We contribute ethnographic and participatory evidence to quantitative evaluations of vaccine roll-out. Key considerations for addressing youth distrust regarding the COVID-19 vaccine are presented, followed by additional regional context. This work builds on a previous SSHAP brief on vaccine equity in Ealing. This brief was produced by SSHAP in collaboration with partners in Ealing. It was authored by Megan Schmidt-Sane (IDS), Tabitha Hrynick (IDS), Jillian Schulte (Case Western Reserve University), Charlie Forgacz-Cooper (Youth Advisory Board), and Santiago Ripoll (IDS), in collaboration with Steve Curtis (Ealing Council), Hena Gooroochurn (Ealing Council), Bollo Brook Youth Centre, and Janpal Basran (Southall Community Alliance), and reviews by Helen Castledine (Ealing Public Health), Elizabeth Storer (LSE) and Annie Wilkinson (IDS). The research was funded through the British Academy COVID-19 Recovery: USA and UK fund (CRUSA210022). Research was based at the Institute of Development Studies.

Full text
Abstract:
Analysis of intersecting social inequalities is key to effective, inclusive interventions in crisis settings. Gender equality and social inclusion analytical frameworks provide key research questions and participatory methodologies which seek to understand: Who is excluded? How are they excluded? Why are they excluded? What can be done to address this and support greater inclusion? There is a focus on underlying power dynamics, drivers of marginalisation, and entry points for external support. This rapid review presents a summary of relevant analytical frameworks and good practice for analysing intersecting social inequalities in crisis settings. The focus is on how to undertake contextual analysis of the vulnerabilities and needs of people in crises that are shaped by overlapping and compounding social inequalities, arising from discrimination based on gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression and sex characteristics, ethnicity and religion (among other identifiers). The review draws on and presents prior research that identified relevant analytical frameworks, learning and key resources on how to undertake this type of analysis, through a rapid literature search and input by key experts. It summarises a range of frameworks relevant for analysing intersecting social inequalities in crisis settings, developed for various development, humanitarian and peacebuilding objectives. It was harder to find published learning from undertaking this analysis that focuses specifically on crisis settings, but it was possible to draw findings from some individual case studies as well as relevant summaries of learning presented in the analytical frameworks and other guidance materials.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid literature review finds that women have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19 in several ways. As the Covid-19 pandemic began, it was widely predicted that women would face worse outcomes than men in many spheres. This was based on evidence of pre-existing inequalities (e.g. the high share of women in informal work) and evidence from earlier disease outbreaks such as Ebola. Evidence from the past year and a half supports the idea that women have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19 in many of the issues investigated for this report. A wide-ranging World Bank review of evidence from April 2020 to April 2021 states that “women often appear to have lost out more than men economically and socially” (Nieves et al., 2021, p. 4). It was not possible to find evidence on the effect of Covid-19 on women’s role in the green economy and the effects of climate change (beyond calls for inclusive green growth), or on gender stereotyping in the media (although there is a small amount of literature on perceptions of women leaders during the pandemic). In all cases, the effect of Covid-19 and measures to suppress it have directly or indirectly continued or worsened pre-existing inequalities. In some instances, Covid-19 has created distinct difficulties for women (e.g. lockdowns and increased domestic violence). This report has found no evidence of Covid-19 improving the position of women in the areas of interest surveyed, beyond possible benefits from working from home for some women in high-income countries; and some suggestions that female leadership during the pandemic may lead to better perceptions of women (Piazza &amp; Diaz, 2020). Studies also point to the intersection of gender with other factors, such as caste and ethnicity, leading to worse outcomes (Chen et al., 2021; Kabeer et al., 2021). In many cases, migrant women and women with disabilities are at an increased disadvantage. The report focuses on evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and G7 members. It is not comprehensive but surveys the available evidence focusing on global, regional or synthesis evidence to provide a more representative coverage. It, therefore, does not cover every context or provide any country case studies and overlooks variations in some countries in favour of broader trends.
