Gender destinies
Based on audio recordings of consultations in three U.S. paediatric multidisciplinary Disorders of Sex Development-Intersex clinics, we examine the process of gender assignment of children with 'atypical' genitalia. Rather than fully determined by the presence of biological sex traits, the gender assignment discussion hinges on how clinician and parent collaboratively imagine different aspects of what constitutes being a gendered person.

Genital surgery in children with ambiguous or atypical genitalia has been marred by controversies about the appropriateness and timing of surgery, generating clinical uncertainty about decision making. Since 2006, medical experts and patient advocates have argued for putting the child's needs central as patient-centered care. Based on audio recordings of 31 parent-clinician interactions in three clinics of disorders of sex development, we analyze…

On the Validity of the Shortened Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (Realm) Scale as a Measure of Health Literacy
Originally developed to measure the literacy level of patients, the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM) scale is one of the most widely used instruments to measure the construct of health literacy. This article critically examines the validity of the REALM as a measure of health literacy. Logical analysis of content coverage led to the conclusion that scores on the REALM should not be used to make inferences about a person's leve…

Barriers to Obtaining Diagnostic Testing for Coronary Artery Disease Among Veterans
Objectives. We sought to identify factors associated with appointment nonattendance for diagnostic testing of coronary artery disease among veterans. For patients with possible heart disease, appointment nonattendance may seriously compromise short- and long-term outcomes. Understanding factors associated with nonattendance may help improve care while reducing inefficiency in service delivery. Methods. We surveyed patients who attended (n = 240) …
Doctor-Patient Communication, Cultural Competence, and Minority Health
This article presents an integrative perspective on the role that doctor-patient communication and cultural competency training play in health care disparities. Communication between minority patients and physicians is characterized by doctors' biased expectations, patients' perceptions of discrimination, linguistic asymmetry, and self-fulfilling prophecy spirals. Cultural competency training, which has been put forth as a remedy, is itself a com…

Understanding Ethnic Differences in the Utilization of Joint Replacement for Osteoarthritis
BACKGROUND: There is a marked difference between black patients and white patients in the utilization of joint replacement therapy. The reasons behind this disparity remain unknown. OBJECTIVES: To examine how black and white potential candidates for joint replacement compare with respect to their overall familiarity with joint replacement as an option, as well as their perceptions of the risks/benefits of this procedure. METHODS: Cross-sectional …
Doctor‐patient communication patterns in breast cancer adjuvant therapy discussions
Objective To identify variables within the patient‐oncologist communication pattern that impact overall patient comprehension and satisfaction within the breast cancer adjuvant therapy (AT) setting. Setting and participants Fifty patients were recruited from a number of academic and community‐based oncology practices. Fifteen oncologists participated. Main variables Three communication variables were identified: percentage of total utterances spo…
Referral of Breast Cancer Patients to Medical Oncologists After Initial Surgical Management
BACKGROUND: Decisions to refer patients to other physicians for care or consultation are an important component of the provision of appropriate care for cancer patients. However, little is known about the referral process between specialists. OBJECTIVES: To examine the referral patterns of specialists to specialists and to understand why only some breast cancer patients receive a consultation with a medical oncologist. RESEARCH DESIGN: This study…

Do nurses avoid Aids patients? Avoidance behaviours and the quality of care of hospitalized Aids patients
To examine whether AIDS patients are stigmatized by nurses providing their care a study was conducted with 100 matched AIDS and general medical (GM) patients in two university and two community hospitals. Quality of care and avoidance behaviours were measured by direct, systematic observation during a concurrent 12-hour period. Stigmatizing attitudes of nurses were measured using standardized instruments of homophobia, fear of AIDS and attitudes …

Out of 100 patients, 80.0% accepted their physician's primary\ntreatment recommendation. Using behavioral decision-making theory we examined\nw…
