Article Abstract
Due to the lack of sufficient data on the relationship between racial disparities and the occurrence of infectious respiratory diseases in children, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the presence of racial gaps in the occurrence of respiratory infectious diseases in children. This study follows the PRISMA flow guidelines for systematic reviews and the standards of meta-analysis for 20 quantitative studies conducted from 2016 to 2022 including 2,184,407 participants. As evidenced from the review, in the U.S., racial disparities are present among children, with Hispanic and Black children carrying the burden of infectious respiratory disease occurrence. Several factors are contributory to these outcomes among Hispanic and Black children, including higher rates of poverty; higher rates of chronic conditions, such as asthma and obesity; and seeking care outside of the home. However, vaccinations can be used to reduce the risk of infection among Black and Hispanic children. Whether a child is very young or a teen, racial disparities are present in occurrence rates of infectious respiratory diseases, with the burden resting among minorities. Therefore, it is important for parents to be aware of the risk of infectious diseases and to be aware of resources, such as vaccines.

Introduction: Diversity in medical subspecialties is critical for improving patient care and fostering innovation. However, Neuroradiology remains one of the least diverse Radiology subspecialties, with persistent gender and racial disparities among trainees. This study examines gender, racial, and ethnic representation trends among Neuroradiology fellows over the past decade.

In this longitudinal cohort study, we used nationally representative data from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey (n = 7,826 for chronic pain; n = 9,195 for high-impact chronic pain [HICP]) to examine the association of trouble sleeping and tiredness with 1-year incidence of chronic pain and HICP in U.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults and their caregivers reported reduced autonomy and disruptions in medical care and community-based services such as adult day centers, and these disruptions likely had the greatest impact on caregivers from health disparity populations. We utilize data on adult child caregivers to the oldest-old from two complementary datasets, the Hispanic Establish Population for the Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly Caregiver Supplement (HEPESE CG, 2021) and the National Health and Aging Trends COVID-19 Family Members and Friends Dataset (NHATS FF, 2020-2021). We identify the relationship between financial strain and both mental well-being and sleep health for non-Hispanic White (NH White, n = 198), non-Hispanic Black (NH Black, n = 44), and Mexican American (n = 66) caregivers.
