32. Surveying the Medical IR Landscape for Presentations or Publication: Challenges and Opportunities
- Title:
- Surveying the Medical IR Landscape for Presentations or Publication: Challenges and Opportunities
- Description:
- Lightning talk for the Medical Repositories in Libraries (MIRL) virtual symposium, November 17, 2022.
- Abstract:
- The medical institutional repository landscape is ever evolving and presents challenges for anyone who wishes to research it for presentation or publication. Librarians are one of the central stakeholders in the medical IR world, but not all librarians may be equally immersed in this area. Those who are directly involved may research and report on use cases and institution or platform-specific IR scenarios. Yet, it can be argued that in many instances, there is an important reason for introductory material on the world of repositories, in providing background and context. No matter one's job title or responsibilities, there are opportunities to become involved in exploring the world of repositories- for internal work at an institution, or externally in professional work. Contributions can vary: doing background research, providing introductory slides (on statistics, platforms, aspirational IRs to examine, other information) for an in-service workshop for colleagues, identifying and seeking out colleagues who can contribute expertise for professional collaborative research, publication, or presentation projects. Based on examples from the past half dozen years, this presentation consists of some sources, tips, and caveats for those who might be called upon to be part of the work involved in surveying the world of medical institutional repositories.

- Emerging US Socioeconomic and Health Disparities in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review
- Abstract:
- The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged as a pandemic in late March 2020, with cases escalating in the US. Health disparities, caused by underlying low socioeconomic factors, are heightened in the current COVID-19 pandemic and response. These health disparities are especially evident for disenfranchised populations like low-income, Black and Hispanic, and incarcerated communities. This scoping review was conducted to provide an overview of the evidence that highlights the need for public health policies sensitive to socioeconomic and health disparities in the US. First, the review provides evidence suggesting that low-income earners, Blacks and Hispanics, and incarcerated populations are among those with the greatest risk for COVID-19 due to underlying disparities. Second, it contains a review of the research that suggests these populations also have a decreased ability to adhere to social-distancing directives. The results suggest that there is an increased burden and exposure to COVID-19 among the poor, Blacks and Hispanics and incarcerated, and that these populations are less able to follow social-distancing guidelines. Overall, new policies should challenge existing socioeconomic and health disparities by addressing economic security, housing security, criminal justice, and healthcare access. Therefore, the current COVID-19 pandemic response needs to be part of a larger effort to combat health and socioeconomic inequity in the US.

- Title:
- Understanding Racial Disparities in Low Birth Weight
- Abstract:
- This paper summarizes the research on the epidemiology of low birth weight (LBW) births focusing on the evidence about disparities in low birth weight for Black infants in the US. Studies have continually shown that Black mothers and their infants are at higher risk for pregnancy-related complications such as LBW. LBW, a leading cause of infant death for this racial group, is associated with a multitude of risk factors, with the major two dimensions being health status and health care. Evidence suggests that the accumulation of chronic stress over a lifetime culminates in health problems for Black women, thus leading to the conditions for LBW to occur. There is growing acceptance of the context of societal and systemic racism that creates a toxic and harmful environment for Black mothers and how this results in physiological stress that directly causes infant and maternal mortality. Although racial disparities in low birth weight are widely known in the medical community, prevention requires addressing the harmful social conditions that underlie these inequitable outcomes. This paper focuses on the way in which Black women and infants are disproportionately burdened with the effects of LBW. It concludes by discussing how changes can, with careful consideration and implementation, drive efforts to protect the Black infants and mothers as part of a holistic, patient-centered approach.
