CRISP Translation Guide Enables Translating Research-Reporting Guidelines Across Languages

Background: Consensus Reporting Items for Studies in Primary Care (CRISP) is a research-reporting guideline developed for primary care. Because no widely accepted procedure exists for translating research-reporting guidelines, the authors developed the CRISP Translation Guide to facilitate the translation of research-reporting guidelines and related documents to support worldwide dissemination and application of primary care research results.

What They Developed and How: The authors developed and tested the CRISP Translation Guide, using the CRISP reporting guidelines as the case example. The guide outlines a five-step process: translating the document into the target language; reviewing it for clarity and usability by an intended user; back-translating it into English; having the original authors review the back-translation for accuracy and fidelity; and resolving any issues using a team of content experts and bilingual translators, with each step involving discussion and revision.

Implications: The CRISP Translation Guide can facilitate the translation of research-reporting guidelines to support the worldwide dissemination and application of primary care study results. .

How patients value visit type, speed of care, and continuity in primary care

2026-01-26

Original Research How Patients Value Visit Type, Speed of Care, and Continuity in Primary Care Background: Many patients use patient portals to message their primary care clinician, but demand for in-person appointments remains high. Researchers from the University of Michigan examined how patients value trade-offs between quick portal messaging, getting a visit sooner with any available physician, or waiting longer to see their own primary care physician. The study analyzed 2,268 survey responses from adult patients in an academic family medicine clinic. Researchers asked patients to imagine common health situations, such as ...

Systems-level approach in primary care improves alcohol screening, counseling, and pregnancy-intention records

2026-01-26

Original Research Systems-Level Approach in Primary Care Improves Alcohol Screening, Counseling, and Pregnancy-Intention Records Background: The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening adults, including pregnant women, for unhealthy alcohol use and providing brief behavioral counseling when risky drinking is identified. This study examined whether implementing the American Academy of Family Physicians’ Office Champions Quality Improvement Model, a framework that empowers local staff to lead care improvement ...

Why family physicians are leaving comprehensive care

2026-01-26

Original Research Why Family Physicians Are Leaving Comprehensive Care Background: Many people in Canada cannot find a regular family physician, partially due to some family physicians leaving comprehensive primary care earlier than planned. This study explored why family physicians in Ontario left comprehensive care and what policy changes they believed could help retain physicians. Researchers conducted a qualitative study using semistructured virtual interviews with 12 family physicians in Ontario who left comprehensive care within the past eight years. What They Found: Family physicians ...

WVU research team working to restore sight lost to genetic eye disease

2026-01-26

A research team at the WVU is studying how to restore vision in people who develop a form of inherited blindness. Visvanathan Ramamurthy, professor and chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine and vice chair of research in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the WVU School of Medicine, is leading this multidisciplinary study alongside a group of scientists and clinicians at WVU. The study is supported by a three-year $1.4 million grant from the National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes ...

New data show reduced overall PFAS exposures in subarctic ocean

2026-01-26

Key Takeaways Pilot whale samples from 1986-2023 show that legacy PFAS are declining in the open ocean. Newer PFAS remain a major unknown and may be accumulating in near-source environments. Scientists underscore the need for bulk monitoring and regulation of next‑generation compounds. PFAS, or per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances, are ubiquitous in modern life. First produced at the end of World War II, these chemicals are in everything from furniture and cosmetics to food packaging, non-stick pans and clothing. They have also infiltrated our water, soil, and food, making PFAS a major concern for human and ecological health. Beginning ...

AI sheds light on mysterious dinosaur footprints

2026-01-26

PRESS RELEASE UNDER STRICT EMBARGO UNTIL - MONDAY 26 JANUARY - 3PM US EASTERN TIME AND 8PM UK TIME AI sheds light on mysterious dinosaur footprints A new app, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), could help scientists and the public identify dinosaur footprints made millions of years ago, a study reveals. For decades, paleontologists have pondered over a number of ancient dinosaur tracks and asked themselves if they were left by fierce carnivores, gentle plant-eaters or even early species of birds? Now, researchers and dinosaur enthusiasts alike can upload an image or sketch ...

Changes to cougar diets and behaviors reduce their competition with wolves in Yellowstone, study finds

2026-01-26

A new study shows that interactions between wolves and cougars in Yellowstone National Park are driven by wolves stealing prey killed by cougars and that shifts in cougar diets to smaller prey help them avoid wolf encounters. The study, published at a time of growing overlap between cougar and wolf habitats in the western United States, found wolves occasionally killed cougars, but cougars did not kill wolves. Researchers also found that cougars tend to avoid areas where wolves have made kills and stay close to escape terrain, such as climbable trees. Cougars responded to a decline in elk in the park by killing ...

Researchers discover a previously unknown bacterial component in kidney stone formation

2026-01-26

In an unexpected finding, a UCLA-led team has discovered that bacteria are present inside the most common type of kidney stone, revealing a previously unrecognized component involved in their formation. The findings, to be published in the peer-reviewed journal PNAS, point to a possible therapeutic target that could be used for prevention and treatment for the millions of people who are affected by the frequently painful condition. “This breakthrough challenges the long‑held assumption that these stones develop solely through chemical and physical processes, and instead shows ...

University of Oklahoma researcher awarded NIH grant to advance tribally defined approaches to genomic research

ARPA-H award will fund creation of portable lymphatic imaging scanner

2026-01-26

Researchers at the University of Arizona were awarded up to $1.8 million by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, or ARPA-H, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to develop a lymphatic scanner small and light enough for physicians to bring with them to diagnose and monitor patients with lymphatic disease. Lymphatic disorders affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Standard imaging modalities like lymphoscintigraphy, magnetic resonance and ultrasound fall short in providing sufficient detail for physicians ...
