Measuring Racial Equity and Institutional Racism in Primary Care (EQUIP)
This is a mixed-methods study to develop a measure of institutional racism and equity-promoting practices across primary care practices and to examine its association with variation in Black-White disparities in a range of health and healthcare outcomes. We will be collaborating with researchers at Duke University and other PBRNs to work on this important study.

Penicillin Allergy De-labeling Initiative (PADI) was presented at the 2024 NAPCRG Annual Meeting from November 20-24, in Québec Canada. The goal of this study is to implement a Penicillin delabeling initiative in primary care practices. As of October 1, 2024, the study has successfully completed participant recruitment at two primary care practices, Family Health Center and Williamsbridge, respectively. We will continue measuring referrals for penicillin oral challenge in these clinics as part of our 'maintenance' measure of the implementation of this intervention. In the coming months, we are planning a series of semi-structured interviews with clinicians at these two sites to further understand the determinants of effectiveness of this intervention. | |

On October 12th, we lost one of the founding members of NYC RING, Paul Meissner, MSPH. Paul was instrumental in the creation of NYC RING and played a pivotal role in supporting numerous programs aimed at improving care delivery to marginalized populations. His efforts strengthened connections within Montefiore-Einstein and fostered relationships with community groups throughout the Bronx and New York City. Paul was a cherished colleague, a dedicated advocate, a generous supporter, and a mentor to faculty and program staff. Above all, he was a dear and esteemed friend, whose impact on the many teams he was a part of will be felt for years to come.
