    Open AccessCharisse Madlock‐Brown, Charisse Madlock-Brown et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    This study uncovers pronounced disparities in diabetes prevalence and management among individuals with visual impairments who seek care, particularly among White and African American groups.

  • Using Latent Class Analysis to Characterize Sickness Signaling in Relation to Familism and Public and Private Religiosity in a Stratified US Sample

    Open AccessTanvi Padalkar, Jessica K Perrotte et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2024

    BACKGROUND: In response to contracting an infection, individuals usually display a suite of external signs (including sickness behavior) as an outward indication of illness. This context-dependent phenomenon seems to weigh the benefits and costs of eliciting sympathy by indicating sickness versus hiding signs of illness to avoid exposing others to potential infection. In a dynamically social species like humans, non-kin may be as likely to respon…

  • A Classification System to Guide Treatment Needs for Juveniles Who Have Engaged in Abusive Sexual Behavior

    Open AccessAmanda Beltrani, Tamara Kang et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2023

    Developing an empirically derived classification system that accounts for the heterogeneity of youth could benefit the court, probation officers, and clinicians in making informed management and treatment decisions. This study used a latent class analysis to examine histories and treatment needs patterns among 561 youths who engaged in problematic sexual behavior (PSB) from five U.S. states. Three classes emerged and included: (a) low treatment n…

  • Toward understanding and enhancing self-determination

    Open AccessSandy Thompson‐Hodgetts, Sandy Thompson-Hodgetts et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Autistic adults desire to be self-determined and can flourish with support, as they determine to be appropriate, which might look different from support commonly offered or sought by non-autistic people. Although individualized support was discussed, the ideal desired support was for an inclusive society that values and respects their neurodivergence, rather than imposing ableist expectations. An inclusive society is only achievable through reduc…

We determined health-related quality-of-life scores (physical and mental health component summaries) for 767109 veterans who had used Veterans Health Administration services within the past 3 years. We used rural/urban commuting area codes to categorize vetera…

Treatment guidelines affect evaluation. Second-line medications are usually prescribed to patients with higher utilization. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to compare antidepressants within the Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system on the basis of the number of outpati…

  • Risk-Adjusted Mortality Rates as a Potential Outcome Indicator for Outpatient Quality Assessments

    Alfredo J Selim, Dan R Berlowitz et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2002Referencias: 44

    OBJECTIVE: The quality of outpatient medical care is increasingly recognized as having an important impact on mortality. We examined whether a clinically credible risk adjustment methodology can be developed for outpatient quality assessments. RESEARCH DESIGN: This study used data from the 1998 National Survey of Ambulatory Care Patients, a prospective monitoring system of outcomes of patients receiving ambulatory care in the Veterans Affairs (VA…
