A cross-sectional analysis of county-level determinants of pandemic-era policy implementation
Introduction: Local COVID-19 policies are increasingly recognized as determinants of variation in disease transmission and other health outcomes. There is significant geographic variability in policy implementation, but little understanding of factors contributing to policy variation. Data and methods: = 309 counties in 50 states across 2020-2021). Using multivariable regression, we examined the association of county characteristics with policy c…
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…
Mapping the path to diversity in clinical trials
Patient diversity in clinical trials has been a critical issue in the advancement of translational scientific research. There is a dire need for better representation of all populations to understand the efficacy of novel therapeutics and health interventions for promising outcomes. The current study aims to identify key factors that may lead to equitable participation in clinical research. This qualitative study included focus groups with lower-…
A Closer Look
Chronic diseases continue to rise among African American women making lifestyle programs a critical aspect of risk reduction and disease prevention. Weight management programs often have a reduced impact among African American women compared to White women, in part due to interactions between individual, social, and environmental factors. A secondary analysis of focus group data evaluated how cultural elements and contextual factors identified by…
The U.S. Covid-19 County Policy Database
This study introduces the UCCP Database, presenting granular data on local governments' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. We documented substantial variation within and across states on a wide range of policies at a single point in time. By making these data publicly available, this study supports future research that can leverage this database to examine how policies contributed to and continue to influence pandemic-related health and socioeco…
Integrating Population Health Strategies into Primary Care
Integrating population health services into the PCMH can improve chronic disease outcomes, and impact hospital utilization and cost in un- or under-insured populations
Longitudinal Changes in Allostatic Load during a Randomized Church-based, Lifestyle Intervention in African American Women
Lower education levels may dampen the benefits of lifestyle interventions in reducing AL. Although a significant reduction in AL was found after participation in a lifestyle intervention, more research is needed to determine how lifestyle behaviors and socioeconomic factors influence AL in AA women
