The Relationship between All-Cause Dementia and Acute Diabetes Complications among American Indian and Alaska Native Peoples
AI/AN diabetes patients with dementia suffered from considerably higher rates of acute diabetes complications than their counterparts without dementia. The clinical management of patients with comorbid diabetes and dementia is particularly challenging and may require individualized treatment approaches
Potential Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Air Pollution on Dementia
(1) Background: American Indians are disproportionately affected by air pollution, an important risk factor for dementia. However, few studies have investigated the effects of air pollution on the risk of dementia among American Indians. (2) Methods: This retrospective cohort study included a total of 26,871 American Indians who were 55+ years old in 2007, with an average follow-up of 3.67 years. County-level average air pollution data were downl…
Associations Between Rurality, pre-pregnancy Health Status, and Macrosomia in American Indian/Alaska Native Populations
Social determinants of obesity in American Indian and Alaska Native peoples aged ≥ 50 years
Objective: American Indian and Alaska Native peoples (AI/AN) have a disproportionately high rate of obesity, but little is known about the social determinants of obesity among older AI/AN. Thus, our study assessed social determinants of obesity in AI/AN aged ≥ 50 years. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using multivariate generalised linear mixed models to identify social determinants associated with the risk of being classified as …
Estimating the cost of school sealant programs with minimal data
This methodology allows SSPs to estimate costs with minimal data collection and time
Disparities in Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations Between American Indian and Alaska Native and Non-Hispanic White Medicare Enrollees
OBJECTIVE: A number of health care initiatives seek to improve health outcomes by increasing access to outpatient services while reducing preventable acute events. We evaluated disparities between American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) and non-Hispanic white (white) Medicare enrollees in access to outpatient preventive, primary, and specialty services by comparing their potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPHs). RESEARCH DESIGN: The stud…
Design of a Randomized Controlled Trial of a Web-Based Intervention to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Among Remote Reservation–Dwelling American Indian Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
The Costs of Treating American Indian Adults With Diabetes Within the Indian Health Service
Objectives. We examined the costs of treating American Indian adults with diabetes within the Indian Health Service (IHS). Methods. We extracted demographic and health service utilization data from the IHS electronic medical reporting system for 32 052 American Indian adults in central Arizona in 2004 and 2005. We derived treatment cost estimates from an IHS facility–specific cost report. We examined chronic condition prevalence, medical service …
Overview of methods in economic analyses of behavioral interventions to promote oral health
Through the use of established protocols for evaluating costs and savings, it is possible to assess and compare intervention costs, net costs, CE, and financial sustainability. The addition of economic outcomes to outcomes reflecting effectiveness, appropriateness, acceptability, and organizational sustainability strengthens evaluations of oral health interventions and increases the potential that those found to be successful in research settings…
Reflections on a proposed theory of reservation-dwelling American Indian alcohol use
In their recent article, N. Spillane and G. Smith suggested that reservation-dwelling American Indians have higher rates of problem drinking than do either non-American Indians or those American Indians living in nonreservation settings. These authors further argued that problematic alcohol use patterns in reservation communities are due to the lack of contingencies between drinking and "standard life reinforcers" (SLRs), such as employment, hous…
"On Kaldor's "Logical Slip
In outlining his theory of economic growth and income distribution, Kaldor made a "logical slip": while in his model, workers might save, workers' assets were accounted for. Kaldor acknowledged the strong influence of Kalecki and Keynes on his work. What is suggested here is that Kaldor may have "slipped" because he applied comments by, in particular, Keynes to the context of his own model. In Kaldor's case, however, the use of Keynes's remarks w…
Marijuana Initiation in 2 American Indian Reservation Communities
Objectives. We examined disparities in age-related patterns of marijuana initiation in 2 culturally distinct American Indian reservation communities (from the Northern Plains and the Southwest) compared with a national sample. Methods. We used discrete-time survival models to estimate age-related risk for initiation with data from 2 population-based studies: the American Indian Service Utilization, Psychiatric Epidemiology, Risk and Protective Fa…
Child Welfare Systems Policies and Practices Affecting Medicaid Health Insurance for Children
This study presented national data on financing policies and practices for health and mental health care among children in child welfare settings, including those who are not placed out of the home. Our three objectives were to: examine variation in the provision of health insurance with a specific focus on placement status; describe mechanisms for assuring timing of coverage; and compare Medicaid expansionary practices to innovations in financin…
Prescription drug spending
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine how pharmaceutical expenditures vary by age and the presence of chronic health problems. METHODS: Data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey were used to obtain nationally representative estimates of outpatient prescription drug expenditures for the noninstitutionalized population and the fraction of total health expenditures used to purchase medications for age-chronic disease popu…
An International Adjustment Mechanism with Fixed Exchange Rates
Traditionally one of the most interesting questions in international monetary economics has been whether or not there exists an automatic tendency for the balance of payments to adjust to imposed disturbances. While it has always been asserted that some such tendency exists, the type of adjustment mechanism upon which attention has been focused at any one time has varied with prevailing views concerning the operation of the domestic economy. It i…
