First, an article about fairness, equity and diversity in research from Nature.
Second, a podcast from KQED in the San Francisco Bay area. A regular occurance during the many years I've been running Epi in the News are research findings about unequal outcomes for births by ethnicity. This is the first time I've heard about an intervention!
1. What is the intervention?
2. What are the outcome(s)?
3. What are the hypothesised mediating factors?
4. How would you evaluate this intervention? Is an RCT necessary to prove causation?
5, Would findings from Alameda County/California/the US be generalisable to the UK, where there is also a notable inequality for maternal mortality?
