Ethno-Racial Differences in Age and Symptom Severity Among Pre-Menopausal Women Commencing Treatment for Benign Gynecological Conditions with a Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine Device
Introduction: Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices (LNG-IUDs) can be effective treatments for benign gynecological conditions, but there may be ethno-racial differences in how patients receive treatment. Methods: Data were from a health care system in the U.S. South (April 2014-September 2019). We identified 783 female patients aged 18-44 years with an LNG-IUD for a benign gynecological condition (455 White, 208 Black, and 120 Hispanic p…

Feasibility of a best–worst scaling exercise to set priorities for autism research
BACKGROUND: The preferences of autism stakeholders regarding the top priorities for future autism research are largely unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study had two objectives: First, to examine what autism stakeholders think new research investments should be and the attributes of investment that they consider important, and second, to explore the feasibility, acceptability and outcomes of two prioritization exercises among autism stakeholders regardin…
Linking Electronic Health Records to the American Community Survey
Objectives. To assess linkages of patient data from a health care system in the southeastern United States to microdata from the American Community Survey (ACS) with the goal of better understanding health disparities and social determinants of health in the population. Methods. Once a data use agreement was in place, a stratified random sample of approximately 200 000 was drawn of patients aged 25 to 74 years with at least 2 visits between Janua…
Chronic Low Back Pain Among Older Adults
There are age-related differences in health and health care use among individuals with chronic LBP
Physician–Patient Racial Concordance, Continuity of Care, and Patterns of Care for Hypertension
To assess the effects of physician–patient racial concordance and continuity of care on hypertension outcomes, we described patterns of care for hypertension; we used cross-tabulations and repeated measures (generalized estimating equations) analyses with panel survey data from elderly persons interviewed and examined in 1987 and 1990. Continuity of care was associated with recognition of hypertension, receipt of medication, and lower incidence o…

Recurrence and Care Seeking After Acute Back Pain
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between type of initial care as well as the likelihood of recurrence and consequent care seeking behavior. RESEARCH DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort recruited from 208 randomly selected North Carolina practices. Cohort study examined the recurrence of low back pain among patients free of back pain 3 months after their index visit to a practitioner for that problem. The following four practitioner str…
The Effects of Having a Regular Doctor on Access to Primary Care
The authors assessed the relationship between having a regular doctor and access to care, as measured by a set of preventive and primary care utilization indicators recommended by the Institute of Medicine. The 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey was used in the analyses (n = 30,012). The results of the regression analyses suggest that individuals with any type of regular source of care had better access than those without a regular source o…
Impact Of Socioeconomic Status On Hospital Use In New York City
This DataWatch examines the potential impact of socioeconomic differences on rates of hospitalization, based on patterns of hospital use in New York City in 1988. The research suggests that lack of timely and effective outpatient care may lead to higher hospitalization rates in low-income areas. For certain conditions identified as ambulatory care sensitive, hospitalization rates were higher in low-income areas than they were in higher-income are…
Social Security Disability Determinations
Social Security spends $135 million yearly, contracting with physicians to provide consultative examinations for disability applicants. However, little is known about who these physicians are or how they view the determination of impairment. We surveyed a random sample of 153 physicians from North Carolina who performed consultative examinations for the North Carolina Disability Determinations Agency in 1983 (the consultative group), and a random…
