The purpose of this study is to pilot a qualitative aim for an eventual proposal. We will series of semi-structured interviews of those well-positioned to describe the effects of disasters on the health care system caring for LTC residents. These potential interviewees include managers of rural LTC facilities, hospitals, and other health care services in the community as well as other key informants, such as area agencies on aging. By understanding the effects of the disaster on the healthcare system, we can translate patterns of care utilization and health outcome data following natural disaster events to design mitigation strategies to minimize the disruption to vulnerable LTC residents.

The Racial Equity Institute's (REI) Phase 1 antiracism workshop focuses on structural racism through a historical, cultural, structural, and institutional analysis of racism (Hayes-Greene, Plihcik, Love, & Hunter, 2017). Despite an estimated 12,500 people attending Phase 1 in 2019 from across the country, with audiences full of teachers, principals, police officers, public health staff, and social workers, Phase 1 has never undergone a full evaluation. Therefore, through a partnership with REI, we propose to answer the question of how the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals and organizations are impacted following REI Phase 1. Given racism's reach beyond the individual level, documenting the impacts on organizational policy and outcomes is important for understanding how REI Phase 1 can change systems (Bonilla-Silva, 2006; Griffith, Childs, Eng, & Jeffries, 2007).

This project aims to advance our awareness of disparities in independency experienced in the operating room by surgical residents. We hope this will clarify important areas for future interventions and help remove bias from the educational experience of surgical residents.

We will study how Medicare health insurance claims can capture medication deprescribing. Medication deprescribing is a way to reduce risk of serious health problems by carefully and systematically stopping use of medications where the harms outweigh the benefits. To do so, the healthcare provider (e.g., doctor, pharmacist) and patient review all of the patient's medications, prioritize medications for stopping, and gradually (and with careful monitoring) reduce or stop using those medications. Insurance claims capture prescription drug information on a large number of older adults over time and therefore, are ideal for studying medication use. However, they do not describe why a patient stopped using a medication, and there are many reasons a patient may stop (e.g., side effects, costs). The goal of our study is to see how well we can capture deprescribing using insurance claims data.
