Factors Associated with Cancer Prevention/Risk Reduction Behaviors among Latinos
Improving understanding of behaviors that increase or reduce cancer risk for different Hispanic groups is a public health priority; such knowledge is sparse in new gateway immigration locations such as Indiana. The aims of this study were to: 1) describe cancer beliefs and cancer preventive/risk reduction behaviors (physical activity, tobacco, and alcohol use) among Hispanic adults; 2) examine differences in cancer beliefs and preventive behavior…
Rural and Urban Differences in the Adoption of New Health Information and Medical Technologies
BACKGROUND: This statewide survey sought to understand the adoption level of new health information and medical technologies, and whether these patterns differed between urban and rural populations. METHODS: A random sample of 7,979 people aged 18-75 years, stratified by rural status and race, who lived in 1 of 34 Indiana counties with high cancer mortality rates and were seen at least once in the past year in a statewide health system were surve…
A qualitative study of patients’ perceptions of the utility of patient-reported outcome measures of symptoms in primary care clinics
Masculinity beliefs and colorectal cancer screening in male veterans
As the third most common cause of cancer death among United States men, colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a significant threat to men's health. Although adherence to CRC screening has the potential to reduce CRC mortality by approximately half, men's current rates of adherence fall below national screening objectives. In qualitative studies, men have reported forgoing screenings involving the rectum (e.g., colonoscopy) due to concern about breac…
Implementation of Health Information Technology in Veterans Health Administration to Support Transformational Change
The Institute of Medicine report, Crossing the Quality Chasm, called for significant improvements in 6 elements of healthcare performance: safety, effectiveness, patient centeredness, timeliness, efficiency, and equity. To meet the changing care needs of older veterans, many of whom are trying to manage the complexities of their chronic diseases in their own homes, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has promoted many of the Institute of Med…
Quality Measurement and System Change of Cancer Care Delivery
Cancer care quality measurement and system change may serve as a case example for larger possibilities in the health care system related to other diseases. Cancer care quality gaps and variation exist across both technical and patient-centered cancer quality measures, especially among vulnerable populations. There is a need to develop measures that address the following dimensions of quality and its context: disparities, overuse, patient-centered…
Too Much of a Good Thing? Physician Practices and Patient Willingness for Less Frequent Pap Test Screening Intervals
BACKGROUND: Recent guidelines recommend longer Pap test intervals. However, physicians and patients may not be adopting these recommendations. OBJECTIVES: Identify (1) physician and practice characteristics associated with recommending a less frequent interval, and (2) characteristics associated with women's willingness to adhere to a 3-year interval. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used 2 national surveys: (1) a 2006/2007 National Survey of Primary Care Phy…
Implementing Colorectal Cancer Screening in Community Health Centers
BACKGROUND: The population served by Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) has lower levels of cancer screening compared with the general population and suffers a disproportionate cancer burden. To address these disparities, 3 federal agencies and a primary care association established and tested the feasibility of a Regional Cancer Collaborative (RCC) in 2005. METHODS: RCC faculty implemented a learning model to improve cancer screening acr…
