Contraception use among reproductive-age women with rheumatic diseases.
The purpose of this study was to determine contraception use among a cohort of reproductive-age women with rheumatic diseases. Women who had one of 21 possible rheumatic disease diagnoses, and had at least two outpatient rheumatology visits, were included. Findings revealed low use of prescription contraception, and the authors recommended urgent efforts to improve contraceptive care and access for some women with rheumatic diseases.

Preferences for physical activity: a conjoint analysis involving people with chronic knee pain.
The goals of this study were to investigate individual preferences for physical activity attributes in adults with chronic knee pain, to identify clusters of individuals with similar preferences, and to identify whether these individuals differ by demographic or health characteristics. Researchers conducted an adaptive conjoint analysis (ACA) using the Potentially All Pairwise RanKings of all possible Alternatives (PAPRIKA) method to determine preference weights representing the relative importance of six physical activity attributes: health benefit, enjoyment, convenience, financial cost, effort, and time cost. The study sample included 146 participants. The authors conclude that patients with chronic knee pain have preferences for physical activities which are effectively distinguished by using ACA methods, and that adults with chronic knee pain, as clustered by their preferences, share distinguishing characteristics.
