Exploring the association of homicides in northern Mexico and healthcare access for US residents.
The reesearchers analyzed whether recent increases in homicides in Mexico are associated with reduced healthcare access for US border residents. They found that, despite a decrease in border crossings, increased violence in Mexico did not appear to negatively affect healthcare access for US border residents.

Improving geographic equity in kidney transplantation using alternative kidney sharing and optimization modeling.
The authors analyzed current kidney allocation and developed an alternative kidney sharing strategy using a multiperiod linear optimization model, KSHARE, which aims to improve geographic equity in kidney transplantation while also respecting transplant system constraints and priorities. They used Organ Procurement and Transplant Network data to determine that enhancing the practice of sharing kidneys by the KSHARE model may increase geographic equity in kidney transplantation.
