Community-Based Proactive Primary Care Reduces Emergency Health Care Use for Adults Without Insurance
BACKGROUND: Many Americans are in a coverage gap and unable to obtain affordable health insurance-particularly in non-Medicaid expanded states-which is associated with less preventative care, worse health outcomes, and a reliance on emergency care. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether navigating uninsured patients to community-based primary care clinics that provide integrated care reduces preventable emergency visits and associated costs. RESEARCH DES…
Disparities in rural and urban outcomes in populations with human papillomavirus–associated oropharyngeal cancers
IMPORTANCE: There is a need to understand how the increasing rate of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers may affect underresourced populations. PURPOSE: To investigate possible disparities in survival and cause-specific mortality between rural and urban populations with HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer. DESIGN: Our retrospective cohort study utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Pharyngeal Cancer with HPV Status Databa…
Communities organizing to promote equity
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted rural and under-resourced urban communities in Kansas.

Methods: To improve the capacity for local communi…
Integrating HPV Vaccination Within PrEP care Delivery for Underserved Populations
Short-Term Medical Service Trips
Short-term medical service trips (MSTs) aim to address unmet health care needs of low- and middle-income countries. The lack of critically reviewed empirical evidence of activities and outcomes is a concern. Developing evidence-based recommendations for health care delivery requires systematic research review. I focused on MST publications with empirical results. Searches in May 2013 identified 67 studies published since 1993, only 6% of the publ…
