    Abstract: Health Technology Assessment (HTA) reports may have a major impact on the health care provided in a country. Hence, one would assume that these reports have a high methodological quality and thus represent a potentially important source of information, for instance, for identifying primary studies for inclusion in the evidence syntheses (for example, systematic reviews, Cochrane reviews, HTA reports). The aim of the present analysis is to evaluate the methodological quality of HTA reports used as a literature source for HTA reports produced by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG). METHODS: Eligible IQWiG reports were assessments of drug or non-drug interventions considering HTA reports as the literature source for primary studies and published up to October 2016. An HTA report included in the IQWIG report was considered in the analysis if it was a complete report published in English or German and indexed in the Health Technology Assessment Database (Wiley) or MEDLINE. Only the most current HTA report in an IQWiG report was considered; if more than one current HTA report was available, the one for inclusion in the analysis was randomly selected. The methodological quality of the HTA reports identified was evaluated with the AMSTAR (“Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews”) tool (1), which comprises 11 items on methodological quality (meaning a maximum achievable score of 11). RESULTS: A total of fifty eligible IQWiG reports using fourty-one eligible HTA reports as literature sources were identified. The mean AMSTAR score of these HTA reports was 5.3 (95 percent Confidence Interval, CI: 4.3, 6.2). None of the HTA reports achieved a score of 11, nineteen (46 percent) had a score between 6 and 10, and twenty-two had a score below 6. CONCLUSIONS: HTA reports included in IQWiG reports only have an average methodological quality.

    Control, alt, delete: Patriarchal populist attacks on international women’s rights
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2022

    Abstract: The rise of patriarchal populist leaders over the past decade has fortified a long-standing campaign by conservative governments and advocacy groups to undermine women’s international human rights. Their efforts have increasingly focused on revising language as a means to challenge and weaken the international norms and organizations essential to women’s and girls’ equality and health. Through our textual analysis of UN records, governmental and nongovernmental publications, media coverage of disputes over language, and background interviews with activists, we identify and delineate the significance of this ‘norm spoiling’ strategy and trace its expansion during the Trump administration. We find that women’s rights challengers have pursued three distinct spoiling tactics based in language: controlling what women’s rights advocates can say through policies such as the United States’ ‘global gag rule’; altering the meaning of women’s rights by reframing them as an attack on other rights, such as religious freedom; and deleting foundational words, such as ‘gender’ and ‘sexual and reproductive health and rights’, from international agreements. The role of language in today’s patriarchal populism goes beyond populist leaders’ speeches, rallies and tweets. Their governments and allies systematically control, alter or delete words central to women’s rights.

    Special issue introduction: Contemporary international anti-feminism
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2022
    In:  Global Constitutionalism Vol. 11, No. 3 ( 2022-11), p. 369-378

    In: Global Constitutionalism, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 11, No. 3 ( 2022-11), p. 369-378
    Abstract: In recent years, conservative governments and their civil society allies have undermined international women’s rights treaties and SOGI rights initiatives and challenged domestic rights protections. The articles in this special issue grapple with these trends by analysing the ideologies, discourses, and strategies of contemporary anti-feminism in global and comparative contexts. Several prominent patterns emerge: the core significance of social hierarchy and biological essentialism to anti-feminist conservative thought; the polarizing demonization of feminists by religious conservatives and populist nationalists; the appropriation of rights discourses and advocacy tactics by anti-feminist campaigns; and the strategic importance of law and legal language as a terrain of rights contestation. Taken together, this research suggests that anti-feminism is not incidental to reactionary anti-democratic politics, but instead a constitutive element of political movements that seek to naturalize inequality and legally enforce conformity with conservative social norms.

    A Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Boot Camp improves trainee confidence
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2016

    Abstract: New paediatric cardiology trainees are required to rapidly assimilate knowledge and gain clinical skills to which they have limited or no exposure during residency. The Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Boot Camp (PCBC) at Boston Children’s Hospital was designed to provide incoming fellows with an intensive exposure to congenital cardiac pathology and a broad overview of major areas of paediatric cardiology practice. Methods The PCBC curriculum was designed by core faculty in cardiac pathology, echocardiography, electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, exercise physiology, and cardiac intensive care. Individual faculty contributed learning objectives, which were refined by fellowship directors and used to build a programme of didactics, hands-on/simulation-based activities, and self-guided learning opportunities. Results A total of 16 incoming fellows participated in the 4-week boot camp, with no concurrent clinical responsibilities, over 2 years. On the basis of pre- and post-PCBC surveys, 80% of trainees strongly agreed that they felt more prepared for clinical responsibilities, and a similar percentage felt that PCBC should be offered to future incoming fellows. Fellows showed significant increase in their confidence in all specific knowledge and skills related to the learning objectives. Fellows rated hands-on learning experiences and simulation-based exercises most highly. Conclusions We describe a novel 4-week-long boot camp designed to expose incoming paediatric cardiology fellows to the broad spectrum of knowledge and skills required for the practice of paediatric cardiology. The experience increased trainee confidence and sense of preparedness to begin fellowship-related responsibilities. Given that highly interactive activities were rated most highly, boot camps in paediatric cardiology should strongly emphasise these elements.

    4575 Implementing a Workflow Management Tool for Clinical Trials
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2020
    In:  Journal of Clinical and Translational Science Vol. 4, No. s1 ( 2020-06), p. 32-32

    Abstract: OBJECTIVES/GOALS: A workflow management tool is essential in order to help support consistent processes with transparency in next steps of the study process. Prior to this tool, staff has relied upon extensive training and coaching on the study process. While resources and guidelines exist, it requires additional time for staff to identify these resources and allows for confusion and rework. Implementation of a systematic workflow management tool was identified as a critical need in order to support streamlined processes, improve transparency and support business continuity, and to accelerate the study process. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This effort was undertaken as part of the Protocol Lifecycle Management effort to implement a comprehensive clinical trial management system for clinical research studies. Mayo Clinic has designed a workflow management tool within the Velos eResearch system. The workflow manager is dynamic and will present specific activities based on the study design and responses to data entered on the ad hoc forms. A Workflow Build group contributed to the design of the workflow in order to reflect appropriate, current operational processes. The workflow was vetted and validated with research teams. In addition to designing activities, planned dates and target timelines were established for relevant workflows to help promote transparency in the study start-up timelines and allow study staff to identify overdue activities. Study status controls were designed in the workflow to protect study staff from inadvertently changing the status until appropriate activities are complete. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A dynamic workflow has been designed and implemented in the Velos eResearch system to support Mayo Clinic research sites. This system will be implemented February 24, 2020 to all consenting studies. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The implementation of this workflow management tool is critical to help support research operations in a large, academic medical center. Benefits to implementation are expected to include improved transparency in the study status and next steps, reductions in rework due to confusion in next steps, better understanding from new staff in the appropriate study process, and improved timelines for study start-up. As we prepare for the implementation of the Velos eResearch system at Mayo Clinic, the workflow management tool has been identified in training sessions as a positive benefit.

    Abstract: Despite considerable achievements in the field of conservation, biodiversity continues to decline and conservation initiatives face numerous barriers. Although many of these barriers are well known, for example insufficient funding and capacity, there has been no systematic attempt to catalogue and categorize them into a typology. Because risks compromise the conservation mission, any barrier to success is a risk. Here we present the first attempt at identifying key barriers. We analyse extensive interviews with 74 conservationists, primarily from Africa but with international experience, to identify potential risks to their projects and use that information to create a typology of barriers to conservation success. We draw on the literature to explain the prevalence of some of the barriers identified. We suggest that this typology could form the basis of heuristic tools that conservationists can use to identify and manage potential risks to their projects, thereby improving decision-making, strategic planning and, ultimately, overall impact. The typology is also useful for the conservation community (comprising conservationists and funders) to help implement better practices and improve the likelihood of success. We present examples of such work already underway and suggest more can be done to continue to improve.
