As part of a national initiative to recruit, hire, andretain STEM faculty from underrepresented groups, theAssociation of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU)INCLUDES project, funded by the National ScienceFoundation, examined university efforts supportingaccess to, retention in, and progress to the professoriatefor URG STEM faculty aspirants. In addition to conveningacademic experts and institutional leaders, APLUsurveyed member institutions about their practices topromote diversity in these areas. Findings from APLUINCLUDES Activities included: ◊ There are a wide variety of pathways to the STEMprofessoriate, including many non-traditionalroutes. ◊ Many universities have robust programs tosupport URG students during their undergraduateand graduate careers, but that support appearsto diminish at the post-doctoral and early careerfaculty stages. ◊ While existing programs are serving immediateneeds of individual students, the localistic andtargeted focus of these programs display a limitedimpact on the most intractable challenges todiversifying the faculty. ◊ The lack of federal unit-level data frustratesefforts to follow aspirants to the STEM professoriatethrough the career pathways.This report details the findings of APLU INCLUDES workand calls on higher education leaders, current STEMfaculty, researchers, and policy makers to help shift theconversation from focusing on addressing individuals’needs to create systemic and cultural changes in theSTEM ecosystem to promote diversity and inclusionacross the career pipeline.

Aims: Antimicrobial resistance presents an increasingly serious threat to global public health, which is directly related to how antibiotic medication is used in society. Actions aimed towards the optimised use of antibiotics should be implemented on equal terms and according to the needs of the population. Previous research results on differences in antibiotic use between socio-economic and demographic groups in Sweden are not entirely coherent, and have typically focused on the effects of singular socio-economic variables. Using an intersectional approach, this study provides a more precise analysis of how the dispensation of antibiotic medication was distributed across socio-economic and demographic groups in Sweden in 2016–2017. Methods: Using register data from a nationwide cohort and adopting an intersectional analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy, we map the dispensation of antibiotics according to age, sex, country of birth and income. Results: While women and high-income earners had the highest antibiotic dispensation prevalence, no large differences in the dispensation of antibiotics were identified between socio-economic groups. Conclusions: Public-health interventions aiming to support the reduced and optimised use of antibiotics should be directed towards the whole Swedish population rather than towards specific groups. Correspondingly, an increased focus on socio-economic or demographic factors is not warranted in interventions aimed at improving antibiotic prescription patterns among medical practitioners.
