Differences in prevalence of community-associated MRSA and MSSA among U.S. and non-U.S. born populations in six New York community health centers.
As part of a research collaborative, 6 New York City-area community health centers recruited patients with Skin and Soft Tissue Infections (SSTIs). This study found that although not statistically significant, immigrants had lower rates of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections than did native-born participants, and immigrants showed significantly higher rates of Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) wound cultures.

Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) bridging the gaps between communities, funders, and policymakers.
In this commentary, the authors propose that practice-based research networks (PBRNs) engage with funders and policymakers by applying the same engagement strategies they have successfully used to build relationships with community stakeholders. A community engagement approach to achieve new funding streams for PBRNs should include a strategy to engage key stakeholders from the communities of funders, thought leaders, and policymakers using collaborative principles and methods.

A needs assessment of unused and expired medication disposal practices: a study from the Medication Safety Research Network of Indiana.
The investigators sought to describe the extent of the unused and expired medication (UEM) issue in Indiana, identify patient beliefs about UEM, and determine any association between those beliefs and various personal and demographic characteristics. They concluded that there remains a need for more disposal locations for both non-controlled and controlled medication.

Stakeholder engagement in a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measure implementation: a report from the SAFTINet Practice-based Research Network (PBRN).
The objective is to demonstrate the use of stakeholder engagement in implementation of patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. It concluded that stakeholder engagement appeared useful for promoting PRO measure implementation in clinical practice, in a way that met the needs of both researchers and clinical practice stakeholders.
