Background: The Veterans Health Administration is promoting #patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) collection for measurement-based mental health care. Understanding veteran preferences about how and when to complete PROMs is critical to support their implementation. Objective: We examined veteran preferences for timing and use of different technology platforms to complete mental health–related PROMs. Methods: We invited a national sample of 1373 veterans to complete a survey; 858 (62.5%) responded. Surveys asked about veteran preferences for how and when to complete mental health–related PROMs. We characterized responses using descriptive statistics and estimated multiple logistic regression models to examine associations between veteran demographic and health characteristics and preferences for completing PROMs. Results: Most veterans preferred completing PROMs between appointments (607/801, 75.8%) using features of a #patient portal (410/801, 51.2%), during appointments (589/801, 73.5%) verbally (413/801, 51.6%), and while at the medical center (480/801, 59.9%) on paper (189/801, 23.6%) or a tablet computer (180/801, 22.5%). Hispanic (vs non-Hispanic) veterans had 3.32 (95% CI 1.04-10.58) times higher odds of preferring to complete PROMs at the medical center, and veterans with lower (vs higher) socioeconomic status had lower odds (odds ratio 0.61, 95% CI 0.40-0.93) of preferring to complete PROMs in between appointments but 1.97 (95% CI 1.23-3.16) times higher odds of preferring to complete PROMs during appointments. Conclusions: As the Veterans Health Administration and other health care systems seek to expand the integration of PROM data into health care services, adaptive and flexible approaches to PROM administration that align with #patient preferences, including those that leverage technology platforms in the remote collection of these data, may bolster implementation. Our results indicate that such implementation efforts should consider #patient ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Our findings further suggest that these efforts could benefit from incorporating PROM administration into online #patient portals, developing mobile health apps that support PROM completion through #patients’ personal devices in between clinical encounters, and engaging care team members in PROM administration during appointments.

Background: Oral disease remains a global public health concern, disproportionately affecting socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Adults with disabilities or health conditions face additional barriers to dental care, including physical accessibility, communication challenges, and heightened anxiety. These factors contribute to care avoidance and poorer oral health outcomes. While virtual reality (VR) has shown promise in reducing procedural anxiety in pediatric and private dental settings, its application in adult public dentistry, particularly for people with disabilities, remains underexplored. Objective: This #Study aims to evaluate the feasibility, usability, and acceptability of Smileyscope, a Therapeutic Goods Administration–approved head-mounted VR headset, in reducing dental anxiety and enhancing care experiences for adults with disabilities in public dental clinics. Methods: A mixed methods convergent design will be implemented across community dental sites in Victoria, Australia. In total, 50 adult patients and up to 10 dental staff members will be recruited. Primary feasibility indicators include recruitment rate (≥60% consent), completion rate (≥80% System Usability Scale [SUS] completion), and usability threshold (mean SUS ≥68). The primary analysis will be descriptive, with 95% CIs reported. Quantitative data will be collected using the visual analog scale for willingness, the SUS, and the technology acceptance model questionnaire. Qualitative data from semistructured interviews will be thematically analyzed. The #Study is co-designed with a disability advocate and integrates lived experience throughout all phases, including recruitment, evaluation, and dissemination. Results: The project was funded in 2025, and ethics approval was granted by Peninsula Health Human #Research Ethics Committee (project ID 117565). Data collection is scheduled for October 2025 to March 2026 at the participating community dental sites. Primary feasibility estimates and qualitative themes are expected to be submitted for publication in mid‑2026. Conclusions: This #Protocol outlines a feasibility #Study that will inform scalable models for VR integration into public dental services. The findings will contribute to improved oral health equity and patient-centered care, advancing the evidence base for inclusive #Digital health innovation in dentistry.

Background: In the United States, Asian American people represent the fastest growing population group, and are highly diverse linguistically, culturally, and demographically. Yet, in most national studies, Asian American groups are aggregated, masking potential health disparities. Racial and ethnic minorities, especially first-generation immigrants, are also at a particularly elevated risk of cognitive impairment. Objective: The Aging in Kerala Americans #Research (AKKARE) #Study aims to examine both positive and negative migration effects on health in the first-generation Kerala American population, focusing on cognition and dementia. We will assess the effect of immigrant and cultural factors and social relations on cognitive aging from epidemiological, biological, and vascular perspectives. This #Protocol describes the #Study design and procedures for the AKKARE #Study. Methods: The AKKARE #Study proposes to enroll 400 older first-generation Kerala American individuals from the tristate area. A smaller subset of these participants will complete blood tests (n=360) and neuroimaging studies (n=160). We will assess the role of immigration and cultural effects on cognitive function, mood, and quality of life, as well as biological and vascular aging. We will conduct follow-up assessments at 12-month intervals for up to 5 years. Results: The AKKARE #Study (grant #1R01AG084567-01) was funded by the US National Institutes of Health in 2024 and received approval from the Stony Brook University Institutional Review Board to start the #Study in 2025. Enrollment began in September 2025. Conclusions: As there is presently a lack of fundamental data on the epidemiology in diseases of aging in Indian American immigrants, the AKKARE #Study will provide new insights into factors of risk and resilience associated with cognitive impairment in this group and in the broader older adult population.
