Language Concordance and Interpreter Use in Primary Care
Healthcare provided by bilingual providers or with assistance from qualified interpreters is intended to improve patient-provider communication. Despite federal laws requiring healthcare facilities to provide access to appropriate interpretation language assistance services for patients not proficient in English, many Spanish-preferring patients receive primary care from providers not fluent in Spanish or who regularly use formal interpreters. Pa…

The PROMIS-16 reproduces the PROMIS-29 physical and mental health summary scores accurately in a probability-based internet panel
The PROMIS-16 provides similar estimates of the PROMIS-29 physical and mental health summary scores. The high reliability of these scores indicates they are accurate enough for use with individual patients
Childcare Issues and the Pandemic
Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted everyday life. Not only has it assailed the world’s populations with millions of deaths and cases, but COVID-19 has also ravaged global economies and affected the lives of women and their children. The purpose of this study was to detail women’s experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and the solutions they came up with to deal with the problems they encountered. Method: Data collection occ…
Shadow Coaching Improves Patient Experience With Care, But Gains Erode Later
BACKGROUND: Health care organizations strive to improve patient care experiences. Some use one-on-one provider counseling (shadow coaching) to identify and target modifiable provider behaviors. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether shadow coaching improves patient experience across 44 primary care practices in a large urban Federally Qualified Health Center. RESEARCH DESIGN: Seventy-four providers with "medium" (ie, slightly below average) overall provi…
The Foreclosure Crisis, Community Change, and the Cognitive Health of Older Adults
This study shows that the adverse consequences of home foreclosures spill over to the local community, with implications for the cognitive health of older adults
Neighborhood age structure and cognitive function in a nationally-representative sample of older adults in the U.S
Neighbourhood racial/ethnic composition and segregation and trajectories of cognitive decline among US older adults
BACKGROUND: The influence of the sociodemographic context of one's environment on cognitive ageing is not well understood. METHODS: We examined differences in cognitive trajectories according to the racial/ethnic characteristics of the residential environment. On the basis of 63 996 person-years of data from a nationally representative cohort of 6150 adults over the age of 50 years from the Health and Retirement Study, we used multivariate linear…
Engagement in HIV Prevention Advocacy Associated with Increased Consistent Condom Use Among HIV Clients in Uganda
A tutorial on propensity score estimation for multiple treatments using generalized boosted models
The use of propensity scores to control for pretreatment imbalances on observed variables in non‐randomized or observational studies examining the causal effects of treatments or interventions has become widespread over the past decade. For settings with two conditions of interest such as a treatment and a control, inverse probability of treatment weighted estimation with propensity scores estimated via boosted models has been shown in simulation…
The Women's Health Initiative
Using data ( n = 60,775 women) from the Women's Health Initiative Clinical Trial (WHI CT)—a national study of postmenopausal women aged 50–79 years—we analyzed cross‐sectional associations between the availability of different types of food outlets in the 1.5 miles surrounding a woman's residence, census tract neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES), BMI, and blood pressure (BP). We simultaneously modeled NSES and food outlets using linear and l…
The relationship between urban sprawl and coronary heart disease in women
Development of Items to Assess Patients’ Health Literacy Experiences at Hospitals for the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Hospital Survey
BACKGROUND: The complexity of health information frequently exceeds patients' skills to understand and use it. Improvement in hospital communication has the potential to improve the quality of care. OBJECTIVE: To develop a set of items to supplement the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Hospital Survey (HCAHPS) to assess how well hospitals communicate health information to inpatients. METHODS: We conducted an environ…
Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Cognitive Function in Women
Objectives. We examined whether neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES) is associated with cognitive functioning in older US women and whether this relationship is explained by associations between NSES and vascular, health behavior, and psychosocial factors. Methods. We assessed women aged 65 to 81 years (n = 7479) who were free of dementia and took part in the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study. Linear mixed models examined the cross-secti…
