Salt, Potassium, and Prevention: A New Approach to Heart Health

Salt, Potassium, and Prevention: A New Approach to Heart Health
Q: How does the potassium-rich salt swap work in practice, and what are the practical barriers?

Salt, Potassium, and Prevention: A New Approach to Heart Health
Q: Could you explain why this work is needed and what the main goal is?

Surgery or Therapy? The METEOR2 Debate
Q: Could you tell me a little bit about the Meteor 2 study and why you think that study is important?
The Meteor 2 study stemmed from clinicians recognizing the need for a clearer answer about what to do for patients after meniscectomy, comparing a donor meniscus transplant with a personalized rehabilitation approach to determine which yields better outcomes and value.
Ubuntu Reflections 2 - Unpacking barriers and facilitators to cross-cultural sense making for building equitable health research partnerships
Q: How do you see or understand cross-cultural sense-making within health research?
