Objectives: Black-White disparities in maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality highlight health inequities in several settings, yet such racial disparities in Canada are not well defined. Our objective was to conduct a scoping review to identify the extent of epidemiologic evidence assessing Black-White disparities in maternal and neonatal health in Canada.
Methods: We included peer-reviewed epidemiologic studies which measured maternal or neonatal outcomes in Black versus White individuals in Canada.

Background: Unmeasured contextual factors contribute to Black-White disparities in preterm birth (PTB), but their effects are difficult to isolate due to complex relationships with individual factors connected in non-linear ways. To address this, we applied explainable machine learning to model interactions between individual and contextual factors to predict PTB and identify its key predictors among non-Hispanic Black (NHB) and non-Hispanic White (NHW) primiparous women in the U.S.

Purpose: The impact of a cancer diagnosis on racial differences in financial well-being and treatment related financial toxicity has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study was to compare relative disparities in financial distress by race among respondents with and without a history of cancer.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study based on the National Health Interview Survey (2010 to 2018).

Objective: The study aim was to identify ethnoracial disparities in the prevalence of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) and positive psychotic symptoms in the United States and examine the role of social neighborhood inequities.
Methods: Participants in the Mental and Substance Use Disorders Prevalence Study, a national household sample of nonelderly adults (N=4,764), were assessed by clinicians with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) for SSDs (past year and lifetime), including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophreniform disorder, and for psychotic symptoms. Weighted logistic regression models estimated ethnoracial differences in the prevalence of SSDs and psychotic symptoms in unadjusted models, age- and sex-adjusted models, and models further adjusted for a neighborhood Social Vulnerability Metric (SVM) score, a composite index of five social determinants of health domains.

IntroductionAbundant research documents Black-White disparities in the quality of patient-physician clinical communication during oncology interactions. Prior research shows that Black patients' and non-Black physicians' race-related attitudes and perceptions influence clinical communication and patient and physician perceptions of one another. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the effects of such attitudes and perceptions on another important but understudied aspect of interpersonal communication-nonverbal synchrony.
