The Design and Early Results of a Structured Longitudinal Training Program for Undergraduate Students to Increase Diversity in Aging-Research
Background: The Cultivating Health and Aging Researchers by Integrating Science, Medicine, and Aging (CHARISMA) program at the University of Chicago (UC), is an NIA-funded longitudinal clinical research training program for undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in the sciences and medicine. CHARISMA students participate in an aging-focused: 1) realistic research career experience, 2) didactic curriculum, and 3) multi-tiered mentorsh…
Does the Doctor–Patient Relationship Affect Enrollment in Clinical Research
Industry Payments for Vibegron and Prescribing Patterns Among Urologic Clinicians
This cross-sectional study compares the prescribing practices among urologists and advanced practice clinicians who received vs did not receive payment from drug manufacturers
Perceptions of the Doctor-Patient Relationship Among Patients in a Private, Secondary-Level Hospital in Southern India
Introduction An epidemic of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in India is fueling a growing demand for primary care and hospitalization services. Difficulties in coordinating inpatient and outpatient care create significant barriers to providing high-quality medical care. In this paper, we describe patient experiences, perceptions, and expectations of doctor-patient relationships in a secondary-level private hospital in Karnataka, India. Methods W…
Investigations at Goodson Shelter, Oklahoma
Goodson Shelter is a small sandstone rockshelter site located in Craig County, Oklahoma, situated alongside a minor tributary stream. Excavations at Goodson Shelter yielded over 2 m of largely intact deposits, which, based on radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating, along with a substantial record of temporally diagnostic projectile points, indicate the site was periodically occupied from the Archaic through the Woodland period. …
Advancing oral health policy through persuasive messaging and effective research measures
Oral health is often excluded from broad health policy discussions, addressed only in a policy silo. There is a paucity of research to guide policymaking as it relates to oral health. In response, AcademyHealth's Oral Health Interest Group organized a meeting during the 2019 AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting to promote transdisciplinary dialog on the current state of oral health policy and the steps necessary to improve the oral health of Ame…

Attention to Inpatients’ Religious and Spiritual Concerns
Design of an Intervention to Promote Entry of Minority Youth into Clinical Research Careers by Aligning Ambition
The theory of aligned ambition posits that adolescents’ career aspirations are shaped by both contextual and attitudinal factors. Minority students are less likely to exhibit career-specific knowledge, realistic attitudes, and successful behaviors, which could exacerbate racial disparities in the health care workforce. This article describes the theoretical grounding and preliminary implementation of an intervention designed to promote aligned am…
The Prevalence, Correlates, and Impact of Logically Inconsistent Preferences in Utility Assessments for Joint Health States in Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND: Variations in health state utilities can impact cost-effectiveness analyses. One potential source of error is when joint health state (JS) utilities are rated higher than the embedded single state (SS) utilities. Knowing when and in whom this occurs can improve cost-effectiveness analyses. METHODS: Men (n = 323) were surveyed at the time of prostate biopsy. Time tradeoff SS and JS utilities for prevalent prostate cancer (PCa) health s…

Exploring the use of social network methods in designing healthcare quality improvement teams
The Cultivation of Esteem and Retrieval of Scientific Knowledge in Physician Networks
This article evaluates how physicians draw upon scientific and other forms of knowledge in different professional communities. We argue that because physicians will draw upon clinical research findings to improve their reputation with colleagues, and because the terms for accruing esteem in an academic hospital may differ depending on the dominant task structure of the organization, the form of knowledge that is valued by a physician will vary wi…

Use of a Self-Report-Generated Charlson Comorbidity Index for Predicting Mortality
BACKGROUND: The Charlson Comorbidity Index, a popular tool for risk adjustment, often is constructed from medical record abstracts or administrative data. Limitations in both sources have fueled interest in using patient self-report as an alternative. However, little data exist on whether self-reported Charlson Indices predict mortality. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether a self-reported Charlson Index predicts mortality, its performance …
Effect of Future Costs on Cost-Effectiveness of Medical Interventions Among Young Adults
OBJECTIVES: Recent research based on a lifetime utility maximization model has suggested that cost-effectiveness analyses should account for all future costs, including medical costs for related and unrelated illnesses and nonmedical costs. This work has also shown that analyses that omit future costs are biased to favor interventions among the elderly that extend life over interventions that improve quality of life. However, the effect of includ…

Vowel and Speaker Identification in Natural and Synthetic Speech
The study describes the results of a listening test in which subjects were required to identify both the vowel and the sex of the speaker. Ten monophthongal American English vowels were selected: /i I ε æ a u Λ 3/. These vowels were produced by a male speaker, a female speaker, and a child. Formant values were read from spectrograms made of these vowels and used for synthesizing the same 30 vowels on a Glace-Holmes synthesizer. A third set of vow…
