A mindfulness-based intervention for low-income African American women with depressive symptoms delivered by an experienced instructor versus a novice instructor.
The authors piloted a streamlined mindfulness teacher training protocol for Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) staff. They also examined the distribution and variability of psychologic outcomes for participants in groups led by an experienced instructor compared to a FQHC staff instructor who received the streamlined training. They concluded that preliminary data indicate that health care staff who receive streamlined training to deliver mindfulness-based interventions have comparable outcomes as experienced instructors.

Mailed outreach invitations significantly improve HCC surveillance rates in patients with cirrhosis: a randomized clinical trial.
Mailed outreach invitations significantly improve HCC surveillance rates in patients with cirrhosis: a randomized clinical trial.
Hepatology 2019 Jan;69(1):121-30. doi: 10.1002/hep.30129.
In this study, the investigators compared the effectiveness of mailed outreach and patient navigation strategies to increase hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance in a racially diverse cohort of patients with cirrhosis. They conducted a pragmatic randomized clinical trial comparing mailed outreach for screening ultrasound, mailed outreach plus patient navigation, or usual care with visit-based screening. The investigators concluded that mailed outreach invitations and navigation significantly increased HCC surveillance versus usual care in patients with cirrhosis.
