Yale School of Medicine's Cary Gross, MD, has been investigating financial conflicts of interest in American medicine for more than 20 years. In a Q&A, he discusses the inspiration behind this research and what people can take away from his recent findings.

A Yale research team was interested in finding out how difficult it would be to obtain a prescription online. They created a patient profile of a 27-year-old male who qualified for a GLP-1 and attempted to obtain a prescription through 49 different websites. Overall, 92% prescribed the GLP medication and 69% mailed it. The researchers' findings were published in JAMA on July 6, 2026.

Researchers at Yale School of Medicine recently published two studies that offer new insights into how people interact with wearable devices and health-related content on social media.

Older adults with type 2 diabetes face a difficult trade-off: they are among the most vulnerable to medication-related harms yet are often underrepresented in the clinical trials that guide treatment decisions. A new study led by Yuan Lu, ScD, helps address this gap by providing large-scale, real-world evidence on the safety of commonly used diabetes medications.

Faculty from the Yale School of Medicine (YSM) will present their latest research on cardiovascular care at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Scientific Sessions on March 28 to 30, 2026, in New Orleans.

Black lung cancer patients are less likely to receive surgery or radiation therapy aimed at curing their cancer compared to white patients, a new Yale-led study says. “The past 30 years have seen tremendous progress in our fundamental understanding of lung cancer and the development of new treatment strategies,” senior researcher Dr. Cary Gross, a professor at Yale School of Medicine, said in a news release.

A new Yale study examines cost variation for physical therapy across the United States.

In recent decades, lung cancer treatment has been transformed—new surgeries, new radiation techniques, and dramatically improved outcomes. But according to new research from Yale, one thing has barely changed: who receives curative care.

“The findings show that what matters most for heart health is the quality of the foods people eat," said Dr. Harlan Krumholz."Whether a diet is lower in carbohydrates or fat, emphasizing plant-based foods, whole grains and healthy fats is associated with better cardiovascular outcomes.”
