We evaluate an online version of a previously tested in-person and endorsed for online adaptation by the WHO Self-Help Plus (SH+) program among Ukrainian refugees dispersed across 17 countries, internally displaced and not displaced Ukrainians. This is the first randomized controlled trial to test an online psychological intervention simultaneously on refugees, internally displaced, and non-displaced conflict-affected populations. This study is an online two-arm, individually randomized controlled trial among participants above 18 years old in Ukraine or EU countries who were randomly assigned to receive either the Self-Help Online (SHO) intervention and passive informational resource or the passive informational resource alone. We recruited 652 participants starting the program on July 7th, 2022. The analysis focused on 292 participants who completed the final survey one week after the end of the program. Results indicated significant distress reduction among refugees (β −2.16, 95% CI −4.17 to −0.16; p = 0.03; d −0.47) but not among internally displaced in Ukraine (β 0.56, 95% CI −1.1 to 2.99; p = 0.17; d 0.2) or non-displaced participants in Ukraine (β 0.2, 95% CI −0.95 to 1.35; p = 0.73; d 0.08). The effect size in stress reduction for refugees was comparable to other similar interventions but with lower average costs. The average cost per participant was €11, with €46.16 for each benefiting (refugee) participant, suggesting cost-effectiveness for scale-up.

This underrepresentation denies Puerto Ricans the benefit from therapeutic developments that could mitigate health disparities arising from conditions for which genetically-derived treatments exist.

Prior research suggests that Latin American diaspora communities are less likely to participate in genetic research. We hypothesized, specifically, that the Puerto Rican diaspora in the USA would be less likely to participate in genetic research than would Puerto Ricans in their homeland's archipelago, and that accounting for social and cultural determinants related to the diaspora experience would mitigate this disparity. We implemented an analytical cross-sectional study of archipelago-residing Puerto Ricans and of the USA-residing diaspora to evaluate this hypothesis. With 1582 Puerto Ricans (723 in Puerto Rico, 859 in the USA), we found that while most participants would participate in genetic research, participation rates varied significantly by diaspora status. Puerto Ricans born and living in the USA were initially more likely to decline participation compared to those in Puerto Rico (OR = 1.54, p &lt; 0.01). However, once adjusted for social and cultural variables, this difference was eliminated (aOR = 1.08, p = n.s.). The factors influencing non-participation include oppression, discrimination, distrust, and social determinants, aligning with the theory of minoritization.
