    Abstract Background: The experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) parents of children with developmental disabilities (DDs) in health and early learning systems are largely understudied. Inclusive, affirming services are critical to timely identification and intervention for DDs. This literature review aimed to establish whether LGBTQ parents experience structural bias and discrimination when accessing care for their children in health and early learning systems.
    Methods: PubMed, ERIC, and Scopus were searched for empirical research from 1990 to 2020 on: LGBTQ; parents, children, families; bias, disparities, discrimination; and health and early learning services. Themes were analyzed by conceptual model bias levels, participant type, and setting.
    Results: The search yielded 1,872 unduplicated records (three through hand search). Twenty-nine articles representing 26 studies in health and early learning in eight countries met the inclusion criteria. Biases common across sectors included challenges surrounding LGBTQ status disclosures; lack of acknowledgment of non-biological parents; and heterosexist forms. Knowledge gaps and negative attitudes about LGBTQ families were found among some professionals and students.
    Conclusion: Some LGBTQ parents experienced bias and discrimination while accessing care for their children in health and early learning systems. Policies and programs to implement and monitor LGBTQ-inclusive health education and evaluate practice changes are recommended to improve professionals' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. Multilevel workforce development (e.g., accreditation standards, organizational audits, and training) is needed to create and sustain LGBTQ-affirming health and education environments. Honoring LGBTQ family diversity and reducing health and early learning inequities are critical for improving children's health and education outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: This study explored the impact of health care (HC) bias and discrimination on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) parents and their children with developmental disabilities.
    Method: We conducted a national online survey of LGBTQ parents of children with developmental disabilities using social media and professional networks. Descriptive statistics were compiled. Open-ended responses were coded using inductive and deductive approaches.
    Results: Thirty-seven parents completed the survey. Most participants identified as highly educated, White, lesbian or queer, cisgender women and reported positive experiences. Some reported bias and discrimination, including heterosexist forms, LGBTQ disclosure challenges, and, because of their LGBTQ identity, feeling mistreated by their children's providers or being refused needed HC for their child.
    Discussion: This study advances knowledge around LGBTQ parents' experiences of bias and discrimination while accessing children's HC. Findings highlight the need for additional research, policy change, and workforce development to improve HC for LGBTQ families.

    Abstract Introduction: This study explored the impact of health care (HC) bias and discrimination on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) parents and their children with disabilities in the United States, including the timing of developmental screening and diagnosis.
    Method: We conducted semistructured interviews with 16 LGBTQ parents of children with developmental concerns or disabilities recruited through a prior national survey. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a combined inductive and deductive approach.
    Results: Discrimination types reported included noninclusive forms, disclosure challenges, and providers dismissing nongestational parents and diverse families. Few parents reported screening and diagnosis delays. Parents' recommendations included: avoiding assumptions, honoring family diversity, increasing LGBTQ family support, improving HC forms, increasing antibias training, and convening a learning community.
    Discussion: Our study advances the knowledge around HC bias and discrimination among LGBTQ parents of children with disabilities. Findings highlight the need for increased LGBTQ-affirming family support and research representing LGBTQ family diversity in U.S. health care.

    Abstract Background Of the more than 250 000 emergency medical services-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests that occur each year in the United States, only about 8% survive to hospital discharge with good neurologic function. Treatment for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest involves a system of care that includes complex interactions among multiple stakeholders. Understanding the factors inhibiting optimal care is fundamental to improving outcomes. Methods and Results We conducted group interviews with emergency responders including 911 telecommunicators, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and transporting emergency medical services personnel (ie, emergency medical technicians and paramedics) who responded to the same out-of-hospital cardiac arrest incident. We used the American Heart Association System of Care as the framework for our analysis to identify themes and their contributory factors from these interviews. We identified 5 themes under the structure domain, which included workload, equipment, prehospital communication structure, education and competency, and patient attitudes. In the process domain, 5 themes were identified focusing on preparedness, field response and access to patient, on-scene logistics, background information acquisition, and clinical interventions. We identified 3 system themes including emergency responder culture; community support, education, and engagement; and stakeholder relationships. Three continuous quality improvement themes were identified, which included feedback provision, change management, and documentation. Conclusions We identified structure, process, system, and continuous quality improvement themes that may be leveraged to improve outcomes for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Interventions or programs amenable to rapid implementation include improving prearrival communication between agencies, appointing patient care and logistical leadership on-scene, interstakeholder team training, and providing more standardized feedback to all responder groups.

    Abstract Objective: Intranasal medications have been proposed as adjuncts to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) care. We sought to quantify the effects of intranasal medication administration (INMA) in OHCA workflows.
    Methods: We conducted separate randomized OHCA simulation trials with lay rescuers (LRs) and first responders (FRs). Participants were randomized to groups performing hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)/automated external defibrillator with or without INMA during the second analysis phase. Time to compression following the second shock (CPR2) was the primary outcome and compression quality (chest compression rate (CCR) and fraction (CCF)) was the secondary outcome. We fit linear regression models adjusted for CPR training in the LR group and service years in the FR group.
    Results: Among LRs, INMA was associated with a significant increase in CPR2 (mean diff. 44.1 s, 95% CI: 14.9, 73.3), which persisted after adjustment (
    Conclusions: INMA in LR resuscitation was associated with diminished resuscitation performance. INMA by FR did not impede key times or quality.

    Abstract Introduction: Fewer than 10% of individuals who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survive with good neurologic function. Bystander CPR more than doubles the chance of survival, and telecommunicator-CPR (T-CPR) during a 9-1-1 call substantially improves the frequency of bystander CPR.
    Objective: We examined the barriers to initiation of T-CPR.
    Methods: We analyzed the 9-1-1 call audio from 65 EMS-treated OHCAs from a single US 9-1-1 dispatch center. We initially conducted a thematic analysis aimed at identifying barriers to the initiation of T-CPR. We then conducted a conversation analysis that examined the interactions between telecommunicators and bystanders during the recognition phase (i.e., consciousness and normal breathing).
    Results: We identified six process themes related to barriers, including incomplete or delayed recognition assessment, delayed repositioning, communication gaps, caller emotional distress, nonessential questions and assessments, and caller refusal, hesitation, or inability to act. We identified three suboptimal outcomes related to arrest recognition and delivery of chest compressions, which are missed OHCA identification, delayed OHCA identification and treatment, and compression instructions not provided following OHCA identification. A primary theme observed during missed OHCA calls was incomplete or delayed recognition assessment and included failure to recognize descriptors indicative of agonal breathing (e.g., "snoring", "slow") or to confirm that breathing was effective in an unconscious victim.
    Conclusions: We observed that modifiable barriers identified during 9-1-1 calls where OHCA was missed, or treatment was delayed, were often related to incomplete or delayed recognition assessment. Repositioning delays were a common barrier to the initiation of chest compressions.

    Abstract Objective: Telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) is a critical component of optimized out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) care. We assessed a pilot tool to capture American Heart Association (AHA) T-CPR measures and T-CPR coaching by telecommunicators using audio review.
    Methods: Using a pilot tool, we conducted a retrospective review of 911 call audio from 65 emergency medical services-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. Data collection included events (e.g., OHCA recognition), time intervals, and coaching quality measures. We calculated summary statistics for all performance and quality measures.
    Results: Among 65 cases, the patients' mean age was 64.7 years (SD: 14.6) and 17 (26.2%) were women. Telecommunicator recognition occurred in 72% of cases (47/65). Among 18 non-recognized cases, reviewers determined 12 (66%) were not recognizable based on characteristics of the call. Median time-to-recognition was 76 seconds (n = 40; IQR:39-138), while median time-to-first-instructed-compression was 198 seconds (n = 26; IQR:149-233). In 36 cases where coaching was needed, coaching on compression-depth occurred in 27 (75%); -rate in 28 (78%); and chest recoil in 10 (28%) instances. In 30 cases where repositioning was needed, instruction to position the patient's body flat occurred in 18 (60%) instances, on-back in 22 (73%) instances, and on-ground in 22 (73%) instances.
    Conclusions: Successful collection of data to calculate AHA T-CPR measures using a pilot tool for audio review revealed performance near AHA benchmarks, although coaching instructions did not occur in many instances. Application of this standardized tool may aid in T-CPR quality review.
