e18078 Background: The digital divide has shifted from disparities in internet access to disparities in content and design. Technology overlooks limited English proficient (LEP) patients, resulting in a lack of translated online content, possibly increasing disparities in cancer prevention, treatment and clinical trial participation. We sought to determine the language accessibility for the websites of the NCI-Designated CC. Methods: In January 2017, we performed a cross-sectional review of the language accessibility of NCI-Designated CC homepages using manual review and informatics methods (i.e., web scraping). Web scraping automates data extraction from online content. The primary outcomes were presence of translated content, number of languages available and method of translation defined as no translation, Google Translate (GT) or manual translation. Manual translation was categorized as limited (few phrases), moderate (1 webpage) or full ( > 1 webpage or entire site). We used logistic regression to assess the relationship between translated website content and CC county demographics: percent LEP, median income and percent of households with an internet subscription. We performed Spearman Rank Correlation by ranking translation effort: no translation, GT, limited, moderate and full translation. Results: Of 69 NCI-Designated CC websites, 54 (78.3%) were without translation, 12 (17.4%) were manually translated and 3 (4.3%) used GT. Of 12 manually translated websites, 6 had fully, 4 had moderate and 2 had limited translations. Of 16 languages offered, Spanish was the most common (100%), followed by Chinese (50%) and Arabic (33%). We found no significant increase in the odds of having a translated website as related to LEP population, median income or percent of households with internet subscription by CC county. There was no correlation between the translation effort and LEP population, internet subscription or median income by CC county. Conclusions: We found that most NCI-Designated CC offered no translations of their website content. Despite cancer health disparities and the increasing role of health technology, the NCI-Designated CC websites currently remain inaccessible to LEP patients.

The negative stigma of people with mental disorder (ODGJ) has become a social phenomenon that harm sufferers. Discriminatory actions, gossip, the view that ODGJ cannot live normally, is an attitude that still maintains its negative stigma. The purpose of this study is to find a relationship between students 'and nurses' knowledge about mental health with the negative stigma that befalls ODGJ, Correlational design is used in this study. A cross-sectional research approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire, ie respondents' knowledge of ODGJ was measured by the MAKS questionnaire, and the stigma questionnaire for students and nurses (MICA). A total of 115 student and nurse respondents were sampled in this study. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. Statistical analysis using Spearman Rank correlation test. Correlation value obtained (r) 0.02 (p <0.05). The statistical results interpret the existence of a meaningful relationship between knowledge and the formation of stigma in society. There is a relationship associated with knowledge with the formation of stigma. The knowledge contributes greatly to the formation of a positive mindset of students and nurses about ODGJ (People with Mental Disorders). The role of nurses as educators is needed to block the increasing stigma. Continuity assistance and cross-sector collaboration are needed to succeed in a stigma-free program.

Objective: To provide a review of the issues surrounding the lack of use of immunizations and immunization services among underserved minority patients and outline the role of pharmacy technicians in facilitating the utilization of vaccination services. Data Sources: Articles were identified through searches in May 2017 using MEDLINE/PubMed (1946-2017) with the following search terms: pharmacy technicians, immunizations, and pharmacy-based immunization services. Articles were also identified utilizing search terms such as “immunization disparities.” Additionally, immunization data and vaccination resources from government websites such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Department of Health and Human Services were used. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Articles and reports that discuss the challenges and barriers associated with use of vaccinations in minority patient populations were considered for inclusion. Additionally, literature that report challenges in community pharmacy where pharmacy-based immunization services provide less vaccinations to minority patients compared to other patient populations were reviewed. Data Synthesis: Cross-sectional studies that provide insight into vaccine disparities were reviewed. Roles for pharmacy technicians are highlighted that include nurturing relationships with their patients and engaging patients about vaccines during service provision. Conclusions: Pharmacy personnel, including pharmacy technicians, are in a position to reduce barriers associated with disparities in the uptake of immunization services in the community pharmacy setting.

Introduction. Pharmaceutical market and clinical trials (CTs) industry are growing rapidly in Russia, but little is known about perceptions of patients involved in medical experimentation, about their expectations regarding trial participation, and associated fears and reservations. Material and methods. A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in different cities of the Russian Federation. Patients who had previous experience in CTs (or were enrolled in a CT at the time of this study) were asked to complete a questionnaire. Results. Likert-style questions were used to evaluate factors influencing the perception of CTs by the patients. The most important factors to decide whether to participate in the clinical trial or not for the patients included professional monitoring services, regular condition monitoring, better medical care, and free treatment. Three most significant factors that have adverse effect on the interest to participate in the study were: the risk of side effects, study of new medication and the risk of getting into the placebo group. The most important motivating factors to continue CTs for the patients were as follows permanent monitoring of condition, personal relationships with medical researchers, improvement of physical condition, as well as free medical examinations and medical assistance. Conclusion. Results of the study showed that expectations, motivations and experiences of patients participating in clinical trials in Russia are comparable with the world's data. The findings suggest more significant role of the researcher in almost all aspects of patient participation. After the end of the study the majority of respondents were still in contact with doctors.

Abstract. Background: Little is known about the role of resilience in the likelihood of suicidal ideation (SI) over time. Aims: We examined the association between resilience and SI in a young-adult cohort over 4 years. Our objectives were to determine whether resilience was associated with SI at follow-up or, conversely, whether SI was associated with lowered resilience at follow-up. Method: Participants were selected from the Personality and Total Health (PATH) Through Life Project from Canberra and Queanbeyan, Australia, aged 28–32 years at the first time point and 32–36 at the second. Multinomial, linear, and binary regression analyses explored the association between resilience and SI over two time points. Models were adjusted for suicidality risk factors. Results: While unadjusted analyses identified associations between resilience and SI, these effects were fully explained by the inclusion of other suicidality risk factors. Conclusion: Despite strong cross-sectional associations, resilience and SI appear to be unrelated in a longitudinal context, once risk/resilience factors are controlled for. As independent indicators of psychological well-being, suicidality and resilience are essential if current status is to be captured. However, the addition of other factors (e.g., support, mastery) makes this association tenuous. Consequently, resilience per se may not be protective of SI.

Abstract. Background: According to the strain theory of suicide, strains, resulting from conflicting and competing pressures in an individual's life, are hypothesized to precede suicide. But social support is an important factor that can mitigate strains and lessen their input in suicidal behavior. Aims: This study was designed to assess the moderating role of social support in the relation between strain and suicidality. Methods: A sample of 1,051 employees were recruited in Beijing, the capital of China, through an online survey. Moderation analysis was performed using SPSS PROCESS Macro. Social support was measured with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and strains were assessed with the Psychological Strains Scale. Results: Psychological strains are a good predictor of suicidality, and social support, a basic need for each human being, moderates and decreases the effects of psychological strains on suicidality. Limitations: The cross-sectional survey limited the extent to which conclusions about causal relationships can be drawn. Furthermore, the results may not be generalized to the whole of China because of its diversity. Conclusion: Social support has a tendency to mitigate the effects of psychological strains on suicidality.
