About The Editorial: The JAMA Network is publishing the results of four trials undertaken within the HEALEY amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) platform. The results are notable not because of therapeutic success—indeed, none of the interventions reached key end points—but because they represent the first platform trial results in ALS. Platform trials represent a departure from the familiar randomized clinical trial: different interventions targeting the same disease, in this case ALS, are studied concurrently within a common administrative and operational infrastructure (i.e., platform).

About The Study: The findings of this cross-sectional study of Black and white women with breast cancer suggest that perceived stress, perceived inadequate social support, perceived racial and ethnic discrimination, and neighborhood deprivation were associated with deleterious alterations to the systemic and tumor immune environment, particularly for Black women. Understanding biology as a possible mediator of cancer health disparities may inform prevention and public health interventions.

About The Study: From 2013-2014 to August 2021-August 2023, there were small increases in the percentage of children and adolescents with obesity, as well as in adults with severe obesity (but not obesity). There were no other significant changes in obesity-related measures, including waist circumference. This period included the COVID-19 pandemic; a study using electronic health records found a small increase in mean weight among adults during the pandemic.

About The Study: Medicare Advantage-enrolled and commercially insured individuals were disproportionately more likely to use telehealth, with overall substance use disorder treatment (SUDT) increasing over time. Medicaid-covered individuals were underrepresented within telehealth SUDT utilization, with overall SUDT declining. This finding raises equity concerns for Medicaid populations. For rural individuals, telehealth may be reducing disparities, with overall SUDT increasing throughout the public health emergency to a greater extent than for urban individuals.

About The Study: This study has 3 findings in a prepandemic context. First, approximately 1 in 9 U.S. residents used a dietary supplement for perceived immune benefits (supplements to prevent colds or boost the immune system), and such usage varied by several sociodemographic and health characteristics. Second, label claims related to immune benefits consistently appeared on over half of dietary supplements taken for perceived immune benefits. Lastly, the prevalence of dietary supplement use for perceived immune benefits due to a doctor recommendation and dietary supplement use exclusively for perceived immune benefits were both generally low, but both increased among older adults and individuals in poorer health.

About The Study: The percentage of rural patients traveling more than 60 minutes to obtain surgical care significantly increased between 2010 and 2020 for both low- and high-risk operations. Additionally, increases in median travel time for rural patients outpaced changes for nonrural patients. These findings suggest a persistent and growing disparity in travel for rural patients undergoing surgical procedures. Contributing factors likely include ongoing rural hospital closures, workforce shortages, and rural patients bypassing local facilities to obtain care elsewhere.

About The Study: The findings of this study indicate that from 2009 through 2020, a child was most likely to be killed in a mass shooting by a parent or family member, rather than a stranger or a peer. While school shootings dominate media coverage, this study suggests that domestic violence plays a larger role in child mass shootings.

About The Study: The results of this comparative effectiveness research study suggest that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) were associated with a reduced risk of moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors in adults with type 2 diabetes and active COPD. This may inform prescribing of glucose-lowering medications among patients with type 2 diabetes and active COPD.

About The Study: This study showed venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk variation across hormonal contraceptives with highest rates for combined pills, especially those containing third-generation progestins, and no significant difference in risk for intrauterine devices (IUDs) relative to no use. For patches and implants, the increased VTE risk was uncertain due to limited data. Variation in VTE risk across products underscores the importance of personalized contraceptive counseling.

About JAMA Health Forum: JAMA Health Forum is an international, peer-reviewed, online, open access journal that addresses health policy and strategies affecting medicine, health and health care. The journal publishes original research, evidence-based reports and opinion about national and global health policy; innovative approaches to health care delivery; and health care economics, access, quality, safety, equity and reform. Its distribution will be solely digital and all content will be freely available for anyone to read.
About The Study: In this cohort study, over the time period including the COVID-19 pandemic, primary care practices reported a decline in access to care, while average practice capabilities improved. Integrated practice ownership and accountable care organization participation were both associated with better access and capability scores, suggesting that value-based payment and integrated care delivery support the development of higher-quality primary care. Variations across practices point to large opportunities for improvement overall and underscore the importance of incentives and structures as levers to improve primary care delivery.

About The Study: Drug overdose deaths have increased exponentially since 1979. This rate of increase accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic but has since waned. When comparing recent drug-related mortality rates with their pre-2020 trajectory, the vast majority of states remained higher than expected. In the 4 years between 2020 and 2023, nearly all states had higher drug-related mortality rates than their 2019 rates.

About The Study: This cohort study of hospitalized adults identified inequities related to race and rurality in health care–associated infections (HAIs) and adverse outcomes from HAIs. These findings suggest that factors such as structural racism and disinvestment in rural communities may be associated with individual HAI risk and post-HAI outcomes. Future work to further understand the reasons underpinning these disparities and methods to address structural factors through policy and process changes are critical to eliminate health inequities.

About The Study: This systematic review and network meta-analysis of 601 eligible trials found that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1 receptor agonists were associated with lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Analysis of age × treatment interactions suggested that SGLT2 inhibitors were more cardioprotective in older than in younger people despite smaller reductions in hemoglobin A1c; GLP-1 receptor agonists were more cardioprotective in younger people.

About The Study: This cross-sectional study found that compared with trends from the early 2000s, early adult (ages 25-44) mortality in the U.S. has risen substantially in 2 stages: 2011 to 2019 and 2020 to 2023. Although mortality rates decreased after the core pandemic years, excess mortality remained higher than expected based on pre-pandemic levels. The largest portion of 2023 excess mortality was driven by drug poisoning, but many other external and natural causes exceeded what prior trends would have projected.

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of participants in the All of Us Research Program, there were significant mental health disparities between participants in sexual and gender minority (SGM) and cisgender heterosexual (non-SGM) groups. These findings underscore the need for tailored mental health interventions to improve the well-being of SGM populations, while noting that the associations do not imply causality but reflect the stigma and minority stress experienced by these individuals.

About The Study: This repeated cross-sectional study including 69.2 million obesity management drug dispensed prescriptions revealed an increase from 0.76 million in July 2017 to 1.5 million in February 2024, with an upward trend in monthly phentermine and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist prescriptions. There was a robust positive correlation between public online search activity for semaglutide and tirzepatide and their prescription trends. The joint surge in prescriptions and online searches and their close correlation highlight the real-time associations between public awareness and prescription trends.
