SummaryTheme conflicts of interest is one of the major reasons for concern local government, regional and central administrative and criminal legal implications aiming to uphold the integrity and decisions objectively. Also, most obviously, conflicts of interest occur at the national level where political stakes are usually highest, one of the determining factors of this segment being the changing role of the state itself, which creates opportunities for individual gain through its transformations.

Ralston et al present an analysis of policy actor responses to a draft World Health Organization (WHO) tool to prevent and manage conflicts of interest (COI) in nutrition policy. While the Ralston et al study is focussed explicitly on food and nutrition, the issues and concepts addressed are relevant also to alcohol policy debates and present an important opportunity for shared learning across unhealthy commodity industries in order to protect and improve population health. This commentary addresses the importance of understanding how alcohol policy actors – especially decision-makers – perceive COI in relation to alcohol industry engagement in policy. A better understanding of such perceptions may help to inform the development of guidelines to identify, manage and protect against risks associated with COI in alcohol policy.

Background More stringent policies for addressing conflicts of interest have been implemented around the world in recent years. Considering the value of revisiting conflict of interest quality standards set by the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) Collaboration, we sought to review evidence relevant to 2 questions: 1) What are the effects of different strategies for managing conflicts of interest? and 2) What are patients’ perspectives on conflicts of interest? Methods We conducted a narrative review of English-language articles and abstracts from 2010 to 2019 that reported relevant quantitative or qualitative research. Results Of 1743 articles and 118 abstracts identified, 41 articles and 2 abstracts were included. Most evidence on the effects of conflict of interest management strategies pertained only to subsequent compliance with the management strategy. This evidence highlighted substantial noncompliance with prevailing requirements. Evidence on patient perspectives on conflicts of interest offered several insights, including the existence of diverse views on the acceptability of conflicts of interest, the salience of conflict of interest type and monetary value to patients, and the possibility that conflict of interest disclosure could have unintended effects. We identified no published research on the effects of IPDAS Collaboration conflict of interest quality standards on patient decision making or outcomes. Limitations Because we did not conduct a systematic review, we may have missed some evidence relevant to our review questions. In addition, our team did not include patient partners. Conclusions The findings of this review have implications for the management of conflicts of interest not only in patient decision aid development but also in clinical practice guideline development, health and medical research reporting, and health care delivery.

Abstract The mobile app Schnëssen establishes a digital and participatory research platform to collect data on present-day spoken Luxembourgish through crowdsourcing and to present the results of data analysis to the general public. Users can participate in different kinds of audio recording tasks (translation, picture naming, reading, question) as well as in sociolinguistic surveys. All audio recordings are accessible to the public via an interactive map, which allows the participants to explore variation in Luxembourgish themselves. In the first year of data collection, roughly 210.000 recordings have be collected covering numerous variation phenomena on all linguistic levels. Additionally, over 2800 sociolinguistic questionnaires have been filled out. Compiling such amounts of data, the Schnëssen app represents the largest research corpus of spoken Luxembourgish.

The Impact

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify and describe the long-term impacts of hurricanes on schools and discuss approaches to improving recovery efforts.Design/methodology/approachInterviews with 20 school districts in Texas and North Carolina after Hurricanes Harvey (2017) and Matthew (2016). In total, 115 interviews were conducted with teachers, principals, district superintendents and representatives from state education agencies. Interview questions focused on the impact of storms and strategies for recovery.FindingsThe authors uncovered three long-term impacts of hurricanes on schools: (1) constrained instructional time, (2) increased social-emotional needs and (3) the need to support educators.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper focuses on two storms, in two states, in two successive years. Data collection occurred in Texas, one academic year after the storm. As compared to the North Carolina, data collection occurred almost two academic years after the storm.Practical implicationsThis paper illuminates strategies for stakeholders to implement and expedite hurricane recovery through; (1) updating curricula plans, (2) providing long-term counselors and (3) supporting educators in and out of school.Originality/valueTo date, very few studies have explored the ways in which schools face long-term impacts following a disaster. This paper provides insight to the challenges that prolong the impacts of disasters and impede recovery in schools. With hurricanes and related disasters continuing to affect schooling communities, more research is needed to identify the best ways to support schools, months to years after an event.

Background: The benefits of intravenous tPA in acute ischemic stroke are time-dependent with guidelines recommending a door-to-needle (DTN) time of ≤60 minutes. The implementation of Target: Stroke Phase I in 2010 was associated with an increase in the proportion of patients with DTN times ≤60 minutes in the US from 28.9% in 2009 to 51.0% in 2013. This study aims to assess whether these improvements in DTN times could be maintained or further improved since the launch of Target: Stroke Phase II in Q2 2014. Methods: Target: Stroke Phase II identified and disseminated additional best practice strategies, provided updated clinical decision support tools, and set new hospital recognition goals. Rates of DTN times ≤60 minutes were compared during final 4 quarters of Phase I (Q4 2012-Q3 2013) vs. Phase II (Q2 2014-Q1 2015) and overall by linear weighted regression. Results: There were 99,176 intravenous tPA treated patients from 1228 GWTG-Stroke hospitals. Patient characteristics were similar during Phase I and II. Median DTN time significantly declined from the last 4 quarters of Phase I to the first 4 quarters of Phase II: 61 minutes (IQR 47-81) to 57 minutes (IQR 43-74) (P<0.0001). The % of patients with DTN times ≤60 minutes increased from last 4 quarters of Phase I to Phase II: 49.7% to 58.5%, absolute difference +8.8%, (P<0.0001). The % of patients with DTN times ≤45 minutes also increased from Phase I to Phase II: 22.0% to 29.2%, absolute difference +7.2%, (P<0.0001). The estimated annual rate of increase in patients with DTN times ≤60 minutes was 0.6% per year pre-Target Stroke, 5.6% per year during Phase I, and 8.6% in the first year of Phase II (P<0.0001) (Figure). Conclusions: The timeliness of tPA administration is continuing to improve in GWTG-Stroke hospitals participating in Target: Stroke Phase II. Nevertheless, ongoing quality improvement efforts will be required to meet the goals of ≥75% of patients with DTN times ≤60 minutes and ≥50% of patients with DTN times ≤ 45 minutes.
