Despite guidance from the @US_FDA, the reporting of participant skin tones in pulse oximeter testing has been inconsistent.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world.
For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide.
#BeTheLight and prevent suicide.

There is a richness to #Yoruba proverbs that often resonate with me:
“Even chickens perspire, but the feathers may conceal this” - in essence, many people deal with personal distress often unseen to us till we probe further or they disclose 🪶
