"People are more likely to act on a plan if it consists of simple steps, psychology research has found. Having one broad goal—such as, “I’m going to eat better”—generally isn’t effective. Pick one or two specific eating rules and stick to them—and think of yourself as someone who doesn’t do those things. For instance: I don’t consume sugary drinks. Or I don’t eat fried foods. Or I don’t eat dessert during the week. Restricting yourself in multiple ways makes it harder to stick with good intentions, says Christina A. Roberto, associate professor of health policy at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine." Read the story here.

Our Roybal Retreat, held this year at Camelback Resort, is a chance for CHIBE and PAIR to share our research and build and strengthen relationships across disciplines and institutions. We were excited to welcome Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, PhD, MD, MAS, Editor-in-Chief of JAMA and the JAMA Network, as our keynote speaker this year. Dr. Bibbins-Domingo spoke about improving representation in clinical trials and research and building research equity for women and underrepresented groups.

"Sanctions were evaluated as potentially most effective but least accepted. Evaluations by expert and general population samples were considerably aligned. Interventions that received the most positive evaluations regarding both effectiveness and acceptability across evaluation groups were: a day off work after getting vaccinated, financial incentives, tax benefits, promotional campaigns, and mobile vaccination teams. The results provide useful insights to help governmental and non-governmental institutions in their decisions about which interventions to implement." Read the paper here.

A Journal of General Internal Medicine paper by Kyra O’Brien, MD; Robert Burke, MD, MS; and CHIBE-affiliated faculty member Jason Karlawish, MD
"The timely diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or dementia in primary care is difficult to achieve. There is a great need for interventions to address this problem. This article applies an implementation science framework, the Behavioral Change Wheel, to evaluate the factors that influence detection of cognitive impairment in primary care and proposes candidate interventions for future study."
