Item Results of a Scoping Review of Integrative Medicine Interventions in Under-resourced Populations in the United States(2020-10-09) RIoux, Jennifer; Munk, Niki; Kieran, Cooley; Hinrichs, Rachel J.; Taylor-Swanson, Lisa; Mastnardo, DianeItem "There's a problem, now what's the solution?": suggestions for technologies to support the menopausal transition from individuals experiencing menopause and healthcare practitioners(Oxford University Press, 2021) Backonja, Uba; Taylor-Swanson, Lisa; Miller, Andrew D.; Jung, Se-Hee; Haldar, Shefali; Fugate Woods, Nancy; School of Informatics and ComputingObjective: To elicit novel ideas for informatics solutions to support individuals through the menopausal transition. (Note: We use "individuals experiencing menopause" and "experiences" rather than "symptoms" when possible to counter typical framing of menopause as a cisgender women's medical problem.). Methods: A participatory design study was conducted 2015-2017 in the Western US. Two sessions were held with individuals experiencing menopause recruited from the general public; and 3 sessions with healthcare practitioners (HCPs) including nurses, physicians, and complementary and integrative health (CIH) practitioners were held. Participants designed technologies addressing informational needs and burdensome experiences. HCPs reflected on designs from participants experiencing menopause. Directed content analysis was used to analyze transcripts. Results: Eight individuals experiencing menopause (n = 4 each session) and 18 HCPs (n = 10 CIH, n = 3 nurses, n = 5 physicians) participated. All participants provided ideas for solution purpose, hardware, software, features and functions, and data types. Individuals experiencing menopause designed technologies to help understand and prevent burdensome menopause experiences. HCPs designed technologies for tracking and facilitating communication. Compared to nurses and physicians, CIH practitioners suggested designs reframing menopause as a positive experience and accounted for the complex lives of individuals experiencing menopause, including stigma; these ideas corresponded to comments made by participants experiencing menopause. Participants from both populations were concerned about data confidentiality and technology accessibility. Conclusions: Participant generated design ideas included novel ideas and incorporated existing technologies. This study can inform the development of new technologies or repurposing of existing technologies to support individuals through the menopausal transition.Item Women in Acupuncture Research: Interviews with Leaders of the Field(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2022-10) Taylor-Swanson, Lisa; Stone, Jennifer A.; Medicine, School of MedicineWhen Tu Youyou was awarded the Nobel Prize for her discovery of artemisinin (qīnghāosù) extract to treat malaria, she became the first female scientist from the Peoples Republic of China to win the Nobel Prize, and her prize was the first awarded for a Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation. Inspired by Tu's accomplishment, this special issue in Medical Acupuncture aims to highlight the great contributions of women in the development of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine evidence base. We sought to interview some of the key women in acupuncture research whose contributions have moved the science forward. We asked each person: Were there barriers that you had to overcome in your education and career trajectory? What were the facilitators or successes that you have experienced? What lessons might you impart to the next generation of acupuncturists, researchers, and others? Due to time constraints and limited resources, we were not able to interview every woman we know who has made significant and lasting contributions to acupuncture research. We were honored to spend time with the following noted experts: Drs. Debra Betts, Lisa Conboy, Helene Langevin, Kate Levett, Arya Nielsen, and Rosa Schnyer.
